shop, with Charles H. Flax of the
Hampton Institute faculty as con-
sultant. While the general purpose
is to prepare leaders to develop
school, church and community mu-
sic programs, one of its specific
aims will be to conserve the origi-
nal beauty and religious feeling of
the spirituals,
"A vital wartime responsibility of
our colleges is the perpetuation of
American culture" declared Mr..
Cooper. Negro folk music, and es-
pecially the spirituals, is unique
element in this culture, and Hamp-
ton Institute, with which the genu-
inc spirituals have long been asso-
ciated, is proud to undertake the
important cultural task Of preserv-
ing these spirituals in their origi-
nal form.
Modern renditions of the spirit
ual tend more and more to depart
from these native forms, destroying
III many instances, much Of their
beauty and distinctiveness. At
Hampton this summer, we expect
to 60 back to original source mater
ials and develop an appreciation
for the spiritual as it was actually
sung by the firts creators Of this
Negro folk music"
In the workshop, groups of sing
ers will be organized to present the
spirituals in their original forms, as
significant contributions to Ameri-
can culture. Recordings viii be
made for distribution to education
al and music centers, and broad
casts are being arranged on nation
al radio chains.

"Casablanca, still ringing around

Wilson, excellent singing comedian,

Theme of the film story revolyes

far more important.

sitting there, his back to the win
dow, studying.
The window ledge was more than
foot wide, apparently designed
that way to give easy access to the
FIRE escape from any of the rooms.
Agatha stepped up on it and,
crowding close against the build
ing, her fingers clutching the ivy,
moved westward from the window.
The next window was dark, and
no sound came from inside.
This used to be Otto's room, but
25 years might have brought many
changes. His letters had never
mentioned changing rooms. She
would have to gamble on the COL
lege's reputation for clinging to
! tradition.
The sash gave to her upward
pull. 1t squealed slightly. She
opened it hurriedly. Her courage
was slipping. Her entrance into the
room was almost fall. One grasp
ing hand found the corner of a
dresser, which steadied her, and she
stood there shaking.
Her fear that she might md
someone in the bed was unfound-
ed. The room was deserted.
Agatha switched on the light at
the head of the bed. 1t illuminated
only the lower part. of the high
ceilinged, white plastered room.
Quickly she looked around for
something to identify the place as
her husbands.
College pennants hung on the
walls, but the textbooks on the
shelves were mostly reference
works in science That was encour-
aging. She pulled open the top
drawer of the dresser. Shirts and
socks. They looked a little too
fiashy for a man of Otto's age.
The second drawer revealed I'M
derwear. No Identification there.
At the back of the third drawer
was a pile of letters addressed in
familiar handwriting Her heart
leaped She had written them! This
was Otto's room.
She snapped off the light and sat
down in a chair by the window. Her
legs were weak.
Nothing to do now but wait

when the door opened.
The discovery of those letters
was disturbing. Why had he saved
them?

CHAPTER THREE

AGATHA HELD her breath as
she waited in the shadow OF the
shrub, hoping she had not been
seen. The man walking along the
path In the dim moonlight was
young, and he was carrying large
loose-leaf book under his arm. OBJ
viously he was a student
There was something peculiar
about the way he walked, as though
he had memorized the path and
was following it with his eyes shut.
She sensed that he was feeling his
way along the gravel with his feet.
He headed straight toward the
building and the guard who stood
there facing him, hand suggestiVely
on the revolver at his belt
Six feet from the building, and
almost on top of the guard-who
had not said a word-the young
man turned at the edge of the path,
felt his way back to the center OF
the walk with his shutting feet,
and headed westward The guard
relaxed.
Agatha let out her breath. She
need not have feared she was seen.
The student was blind!
Softly, while the guard resumed
his slow walk up and down in front
OF the windows, Agatha retreated
through the garden and emerged on
the path again out near the street
She stood there for a full minute
studying the ugly shape of East
Hall -.
Obviously she could not speak to
her husband in secret in the labor
atory, because the guard had a
clear view of the room through the
windows. Her next best chance
would be to go to Otto's sleeping
quarters on the third floor and wait
for him there.
She remembered the plan of the
building perfectly. There was long
hall running from end to end OF
each Of the three floors, with stair
WAYS giving direct correction with
the two ground entrances, east and
west. The eastern entrance was
hardly ever used, as it faced away
from the campus toward the rail-
road tracks.
Agatha walked cautiously In that
direction. Yes, the east end of the
building was dark, except for the
top-story windows. The light over
the doorway had either burned ouI
or no one had taken the trouble tc
turn it on. Probably the latter was
the case.
She tiptoed TO the door and
pushed one half of it gently open
Far down the length of the hal
was the opposite entrance, lighted
by a globe burning near the stair
way there. Through the glass of the
far doors she also saw the outside
light burning, and between her anc
the two lights was the dark shape
of a man pacing back and forth ir
front of the laboratory door.
Afraid that her own silhouette
might be visible against the moon
light shining in the glass of the
east door, Agatha stepped aside
into the shadow of the east stair
way. She looked up. The SECOND
floor was dark. The classroom'
there were not used at night. Sht
placed one hand on the stair rail
rough with the carved initials Of
students, and started upward. Hel
heart beat fast.
