so long as an is at band a herd in plentiful pas ture would not likely move five miles in a month no fences or even cow bells would be needed by the muskox rancher younjt muskoxen are easily tamed in

there are propably not more than ten or twelve thousand xouskoxen a- llve in the world today except for a thousand or so in northeast green land and a few hundred on the north ern canadian mainland they are an located on certain islands of tne cana dian arctic archipelago it is thought that the muskoxen unlike caribou polar bear and other northern ani mals do not travel over the sea ice from island to island and that from some of the islands they have been exte by the hand of man 8o the muskox is ttfarnfl his last stand he who once as we know to- fossil remains roamed half the ndtrb

the eskimo like the indian is by nature improvident with regard to food supry and has recklessly killed whole herds of muskoxen without thought or future needs it is a curl- our fact that the eskimo

irene she was to these people a truly inspiring angel from the outside world the first place which irene visited was a little hut in which two old people lived the house was small but scruplously clean there was little furniture but that little was sturdily built and well kept up the faces of the twofold people lighted with joy when they saw irene she sal and talked 4th them for an hour eugene watched her wondering what pleasure she could find in such conversation it was made up of items very trlval to eugene how many chickens the old lady had how many pounds of butter jhe had sold that week and how many times the neigh bors had been in lately he marvelled at the interest irene showed to these things he had certainly never heajd her talk about them before at the next place there were six- very lively ehildren eugene liked child just one to whom he could talk and who was quiet but he did not like chlmern a whole romping bunch of then for him but even when all six of these children flung themselves upon irene and clung to her she did not seem to mind she was ready to ask questions and listen each told her about his favorite pastime or latest invention eugene again marvelled at the way irene en tered into the interests of these cmtl- dren before they reached the third place irene told eugene scmethins of one of the members of the household this was a dreamy young man who want- ed to write poetry he received little sympathy from anyone in the family except his mother and she was al ways tpo tired with the cares of q large family to give htm much inspira tion irene had seen some of his work and oonsiderad it verynromising but saw also the need of a larger vision eugene was interested in this young fellow as soon as he saw him not only because of what irene had said of him out also because of his own personality almost before he knew it eugene found himself engaged in an interesting discussion of great writ ers and was surprised to find how much knowledge the boy had of them irene smiled happily as she saw the absorption of the two in their subject eugene actually seemed reluctant to leave when it war time to go to the fourth place there they found a little crippled girl who wa- compelled to sit in her chair all day her eyes showed patient suffering when she raised them to eugenes but she smiled sweetly and gave him her hand with almost a queenly gractousness the two had not been there long when the child would not play the blue danube for her again irene went to the old organ in the corner and play ed the music for the child then sev eral other simple and fine melodies eugene was surprised to see the intel ligence and appreciation the child showed aa they left this place irene sug gested that they go to jane torrens house for dinner irene always ate dinner there and jane would be ex pecting them or the news of thelr arrival would have reached nearly everyone by this time at this paloe eugene was again impressed with irenes pleasing way of listening to the talk of these people and unob trusively giving them new material for finer thought after dinner irene suggested to eugene that he might be tired and want to go back to the auto she was going on to another place i think i will go back to the car bugene said slowly and thoughtfully but i wont stay i am going to get my violin and go hack and play to that little crippled girl do you sup pose she would like that uwe ltl 1 cant imagine what it will mean to her oene perhaps you will be able to realise when- you see her eyes my young poet can appreciate your music too when the little crippled girl saw eugene coming again ihis time with a violin she almost jumped from her chair to spite of her twisted limbs a surging wave of warmth such as he had never felt before swept over bugene he stopped before the childs chair and asked what she wanted htm to play plw holy holy holy first of all she whispered softly with her hands held clasped in front of her bugene was surprised at her selec tion but be started out on the old hymn as he played he began to dls cover new harmonies new thoughts in the old tune he felt stealing over him a reverence which imparted it self to his how as the last note lin gered in the air and became silent bugene looked at the child instead of the gentle patience which had been in her eyes before there was now 1 look of radiance and of pains forgot- ten she was gaalng raptly into para dise eugene thrilled to- think that it was he who had brought that look into her eyes then she turned to him and mur mured in a bushed voice and now schubert ave maria please eugene was more surprised at this request than at her first selection he would not have supposed that the child could know of such a composi tion having lived in this place all her life eugenes rendition of this selection had always displeased the master be cause he said you feel no message you glf no message you chust play but now as bugene raised his bow he was seeing the sweet patient chud- aou back of those eyes and realizing how he might touch the chords of that soul to brighten and bring them forth in hanplness and joy as he played he thought only of- his desire to this little life in front or him as he finished playing he did not know that it was sad the master had not heard him as eugene took his violin from his shoulder he became conscious of the presence of someone else in the room this person came forward he was irenes young poet you dont mind ir i listen too do your he asked eagerly i heard you from our house i just had to come 1 a flush of pleasure came over eugenes face when had the praise of his friends for his technique given him the joy that these simple words of appreciation did with the inspiration of the youth and the child for an audience bugene played on and on he knew that from time to time persons were slipping in and standing or sitting quietly in the room he was in and the one adjoining oenes friends knew very well how he bated any moving about while he was playing but now he paid ho at tention to the movements scarcely thought of them he was pouring out his beet for the crippled ohli arj the young poet he was engrossed in them and what his music was doing for them he had no time nor thought to be annoyed because he had for gotten himself he had forgotten technique had forgotten effect only ha so far as both affected these two who needed what he was now ad glad ly giving them it was growing late and irene felt that it was nearly time to go home she wondered if oene had gone to the auto or if he might still be at the bouse of the little crippled girl be went by the auto and finding that he was not there walked wearily on to the little girls home as she drew near the house she heard the strains of eugenes violin then she saw the many people in the house i i- told eugene they would love it she thought outside the door she stopped she had never heard fbene play ntt way before she listened the music spoke to her heart and showed it visions of hope it spoke to her body and she forgot how tired she was it spoke to her soul and made her think of un dreamed heights f he has caught it he has caught ltl o god we thank thee and she bowed her head in thankf umesv when bugene finally came to the door he found irene waiting for him as she lifted her eyes to hfs he found in them the same jook as that which had been in the eyes of the crippled zui and something more oh sqene he murmured in volce muffled with gladness you have the vision poeteek the secret and the purpose of music is yours forever and ever eugene looked far off to the sum mit of one of the highest mountains perhaps i have he said in strong but qtliet voice i seem to have found something that is not technique nor expression i forgot both and simply gave the people what they needed and that is the vision poeteek irene said softly and it meant scarcely less to the master than toxhese two to- be able to ay wehn he heard eugene playing as he had played to the mountain people because hewas thinking of them ach my boy you have found it it is yours the vision poeteek through the canadian rockies continued
