many merry feet were.w.ant to Keep
time to the 'airy strains. All at
once a chorus of murmur.2 ' 'He's
come" proclaimed the arrival of the
somewhat tardy but gladjy wel

to enter with his instrument which
then seemed very welcome to many
eyes. As quickly as possible he. was
hurried to his stand and told , -'Give
us somechinli quick -.arid - , "
In accordance : with their wishes the
violin was soon giving forth such
fascinating strains of dance music
that the most devout church mem
ber would have been tempted to
join in the bewitching sport. From

that moment till about midnight

drops of perspiration were seen to
stand out upon | his brow and yea ,
they were very p lainly seen upon
the crown of his head too. At the
above mentioned time (12 ( p. in. , )
supper was announced by the' head
cook and a portion of the crowd was
admitted to the dmning.rooni where
they were .confronted by a table
laden with pies , cakes , -cookies ; ; etc. ,
