In fact, it seems that every one gave up, one after another. Helen and Bobby were first to insist that I would never again recognize those about me. Ruth and even Cou- sin Charles, finally, came to the same conclusion. Alice held out longer than any one else, but never for one moment would Karl allow anyone to say -that I would not in time come back to a knowledge of myself gnd those about me. Alice told me that Karl said to her one night. "Perhaps no oneé knows but me, the.delicate adjustments of Katherine's mind. Why, when 1 was in Egypt, did you know, Alice, that we talked to each other? She always knew when I was writing her a letter and as I was writing I could see her as plainly as I do you now, and'I al- ways knew what she was doing." "I told Karl," said Alice, "about you télling me of this wonderful ex- perience you had with him, and that you read to me the last letter he ever wrote to you." "Do you realize, Alice," he said, "just what that letter meant?" Do you realize the impelling force that was behind that message that made me tell Katherine that I knew she was going.to be in trouble and not to worry, that I would be with her? Just stop for a moment and think-- there was I away out there on the Nile. I was in Egypt then, and with- out any rhyme or reason something within me said. 'Katherine reeds you, Katherine needs you, yod must go to Katherine,' Of course like a sane twentieth century man that,I was, I laughed at myself, called my- self all sorts of a silly ass, but the thought still stuck in my mind to the exclusion of everything else. I could hear nothing, think nothing, except 'Katherine needs you, Kather- ine needs you, you must go to Kath- erine." And as last, even while I be- rated myself as the banner fool of Christendom, I wrote that letter to Katherine, and started home. I had no idea of what her trouble would be. IL knew only that she was calling me, calling me to her with a force that was irresistible. And, Alice, I sometimes think that although. she unconsciously sent her mind to me in that agonizing call, yet the very ef- fort she made to do this, has helped to stretch the thread of conscieusness to such a tenuous length thatitsresil- lence is gone and we must wait, pa- again." : . "The most awful part of it all, Katherine," said Alice, "was the fact that you did not even know your' baby. When Miss Parker would Lring her to you, you would nurse her without any particular emotion and you showed complete indiffer- ence to any interest in her the mo- ment she was out of your sight. "We couldn't call your predica- cament a loss of memory, because you remembered absolutely every word, every action that was heard or seen by you that night. And you told it with a circumstantial directness that made a cold shudder run down my spine. 'At last, however," said Alice, "I came to accept Karl's theory, be- cause a word here and there would show me that your consciousness, or | whatever we might call soul, was| coming back to you. "Karl would not hear of you being sent to a sanitarium and Miss Parker who seemed to have become very much attached to you, aided and ab- et®™d him. We had just about decid- ed that we were to take a doctor, a couple of trained nurses, Miss Par- ker, the baby and myself and go with you for a long cruise on Karl's yacht, when I came in that morning and saw the light of reason and re- collection in your eyes. "And then, strange as it may seem, the memory of that awful night pass- ed out of your mind, and ~s Miss Parker came into the room you look- ed up and said. 'Is the baby better this morning?" '"'She had presence of mind enough however, to say, 'Yes, Mrs. Gordon, the baby is all right this morning.' When I came in Miss Parker whisp- ered to me hurriedly: "There has been a change in Mrs. Gordon, she's forgottén all about her husband's death. Her mind has gone back now to the illness of the baby on that night." "Of course, I was horribly frigh- tened, because I felt that if you again had to go through the telling of John's tragic death it would kill you. I went in, however, and you greeted me as though you had just seen me the other day before. For the first time in months, you recog- nized me and ealled me by name, and mentioned that John must have gone out early that morning. I didn't know what to say to you, but finally got up courage enough to ask, 'Kath- erine, did you know that Karl Shep- ard is home?' " tiently pulling that consciousness Tomorrow--Convalescence. ' Music Notes. A church music congress was re- cently held in New York to give im. petus to congregational singing in Catholic churches.

I'll have a musician ready.--Ameri can Legion Weekly. Music Increases Efficiency. Archer Gibbons, superintendent of the Edison Co's plant instituted a scheme of twenty-minute rest per- iods for employees, similar to the morning and afternpon recess in schools, during which periods he en- couraged musical entertaining, sing- ing and dancing. Of the éxperi- ment he recently said: "During the past year, everyone seemed to thoroughly contented al- ways smiling' and cheerful, that, al- though our unit costs of production were low, I became skeptical regard- ing the amount of work done by each operator. A careful camparison of the production of our older opara- tors--those who have been doing the wrk so long one would feel certain they had settled down to a uniform galt--shows that today in 7 hours and 40 minutes actual working timed (our office hours have been reduced: to 8 hours per day) their individual production is greater than was form- erly accomplished in 8 hours and 30 minutes without rest periods.

"We believe that the generous use of the phonograph has engendered the feeling that we are mot only in- terested in production results but are also anxious ta have our people happy. "Last, but not least, I am confi- dent that the frequent music\has a definite effect on the department managers, keeps them in better spirits, makes them better 'bosses' to work for and results in a feeling of mutual co-operation." Canada's Opportunity For Music. There are men and women con- nected with music education who are competent to work out an edu- cational programme such as music needs--the duty is on them to get to work aid rouse others who may contribute even in a small way to the campaign. If the need of the world for food and clothing should pesomp 80 intense that every man, womafi, and child will be drawn in- to productive service it may be that musicians will be compelled to de- monstrate that their art and their imparting of the material of the art are essential to the well being of the people. Otherwise they may be classed as non-producers. Canad: cannot afford to wait un- til the emergency arises. The time to begin work is now. And one of the ways to begin is to knit music so strongly and so deeply into the whole fabric of education that it ean- not be taken out without injury to the product. We can be sure in our minds that the schools will not be disturbed im the period of readjust- ment through which we are now passing. They will be bettered Jn many ways. It is to the advantage of education to have a larger place {er music in the curritulum of the chqols. Why' not concentrate on the effort to g¥t this larger place. ' Letting Prince Down Easy. | The King of Portugal, a passioz- ate music amateur, was ofiez in Paris while he was still crown prince, and made long visits to his friend Rossini the composer, One day early in the morning the maéstro was octupied in the important opera- tion of shaving asvDon Luigi entered unexpectedly, and without prelimin- aries sat at the piano and began to play. His left hand however, would mot keep up with the right one and he played in the bass contin- uously only two notes, tomic and dominant. The prince tried to ex- cuse his persistency in the monot- ony by pleading a weakness of his left hand. "On the contrary," re- plied Rossini, "that proves the strength of your character." cil ete-- Trombone Player Victimized. Once a renowned trombone player was invited by Rossini to play at one of his musicales. As he had left his trombone in the Rossini thought of a huge joke and sur- back, inch by inch, until she knows reptitiously forced a large macaroni | Jil ple in the large orifice of the instru- ment.

Sketches of Famous Masters, ' Dvorak was very absentminded. Once when walking through the streets of London he saw a dining- room set with tables and went in and demanded a meal. The fact that he was talking in Bohemian and that the waiter could not understand did not seem to occur to him. The more Dvorak protested the more the Waiter grew irate. The situation was made worse by the fact that he had not picked out a public restau- rant but a private club, y Joachim when a youngster want- ed to learn to skate so he bargained with a man to put on his skates and to lead him"some 'way on 'the ice. As soon after Master Joachim thought he could go it alone he dis- missed the man but he had hardly taken a dozen steps Lefore he fell flat. The man ran to his assistance exclaiming "It isn't quite so easy as playing the fiddle is it?" Beethoven doubtless had some eccentricities of manner which may ba.pardoned in so great a genius bat are scarcely to pe imitated.
