Not seldom Its report Is heard Inoppoi timely , as dmlm > n solemn church sen Ice , In the holy calm which precedes the benediction. It Is always delivered without premonitory symptoms , end Is not to bo restrained by mental prep aration , physical antidote or spiritual aid. In splto of this sort of thing , young Ulck Hargrove Is In love , os certain of his fa miliars know. "Though the tough cough end hiccough plough him through , " his heart lias not been permanently displaced ; and In nn evil hour ho laid bare the secret of his devotion to his younger brother Ed. His confession was made with baitings end stam merings , of which ho was ashamed , and with occasional hiccoughs , which passed unno ticed between the brothers. Dick unveiled Oils soul to young Ed. Ho expatiated upon the expanding quality of Love , and told how this was In his own case. Ho felt constantly drawn toward his Gertrude. Ho should be drawn toward her that very evening. "And , T > y the way , " he said , as o happy though ! struck him , "I have an Invitation for you , Dill Madison's cousin. Miss Madison , Is vis iting Bill's folks. She is a Vassar girl a stunner. 13111 wants yon to meet her. " Dick thought this was true , the jouthful Hill having Indeed said something of the Kind. Ed. however , put his own construction on this unusual courtesy from his elder brother. It should bo Slid for the better understamlliiR of the reader that Geitrudc lives on Capitol hill , the Hargraves occupy an ancestral seat on Sherman avenue and the Hamlltons have for generations lent tone to the eminently aristocratic region aboul Hanscom park. These geographical details wore quite clear In the mind of Ed , whe thought ho know why he was sent so fai from homo on that particular evening. He said "All right , old sport , " and went down town , chuckling to himself. ? n , thwny , . , > provldcnco being kind , he spied Dill Hamilton Imbibing soft drinks through a straw. Ho entered the resort and acquiring a similar beverage for himself ! learned that Illll's cousin had changed her mind and was not coming. Then ho was 1ur ° . , a , io1 ! hatl been Put " ! ' ° n 1'lm ' and he detailed the circumstances to Bill , That worthy smote his knee. "I'vo got It , " ho cried , gleefully. "I know the people next door to her house by George. Yes ! Used to bo at Orchard Lake with Gus Gus Blake , you know. Oh this Is rlchl" Gus Dlako entertained two young men that night , and three young men hid themselves In the shrubbery that divided the lawns. Prom whuro they lay they could hear the elghs of the fair Gertrude as she swung in the hammock and waited. A duck-suited form appeared , coming from the gate. Ed nudged his friends to right and left. The trap was set and the victim was at hand. What Immediately followed need not be circumstantially described It all led up to Dick's proposal. The conspirators saw him tnko Gertrude's hands In his ; they heard his passionate words : they observed how her head presently reclined upon his shoulder. Their cup ot Joy was almost full. Suddenly , without warning , there arose on the still air of night n sharp , erfploslvo sound , the "whoop" of thu Ill-starred Hargravo hie. cough. The hammock shuddered. Gertrude started up like a frightened fawn. But worse was to follow. Scarcely had the lust echo of Dick's unlucky outburst died away when on answering hiccough of llko toner and et- led came from the Blake hedge. High Gtruug human sensibility could not abide the shock. Gertrude fled abruptly to the lioiiso , Dick made a flying leap Into the liedgo , followinj ; the ominous sound , and an Instant later four Hying llguros passed down Capitol avenue In thu direction of thu High school. The rest Is another story of a stern chase , ot wounds and of contusions on tu ! > ono hand and ot explanations and forgiveness on the other And it Is said that the formal an nouncement ot an Important engagement maybe bo expected soon.

The music of the ancient Greeks lias bec'i an object ot much speculation and the cause of great diversity of opinion. The'e was a tlmo not so very long ago when anything Greek was credited without evidence with being the best of Its kind that ever was perhaps that ever would be. It was quite In fashion to hold up Greek music as the proper model for modern composers auc great lamentation prevailed because none of the tunes which wo would have so dellghtel to hear had been preserved. The Inde pendent of September 2 contains a valuable article on Greek music by Prof. J. P. Ma- liaffy of Dublin University. He says"Theie Is no branch of the old Greek's artistic life which bus exeicl ed modern critics moio than their theory and practice of music , yet to us none Is moro enigmatical In other arts they thoroughly despised the omiteurs , and regarded good pointing , Bctilptuie , poetry , the exclusive work of a life. Yet they assume that every boy has a voice and Is capable of musical training. All recita tion of the Greek poets was musical. Their very tragedies were a kind of opera. Their faglc poets were musical composers. Gieek lyric poetry was never produced without music. " It may bo Interesting to know that It was called lyric because It was apcom- panlcd on the lyre. Profe'sor Mahaffy con tinues : "When wo consult- their theorists upon the effect that the line arts can pro duce upon human lite wo find they asset t that music has a direct effect upon morals. Plato holds In abhorrence , as g-ofsly Im moral , elaborale instrumental music and would regard a symphony of Beethoven as far moro deleterious than the love songs of Bellini or Verdi. " The Greeks did not use < i staff ot lines and spaces for their musical notation , bu' Ivad over sixty signs for the singing notes and qulto another set to- the Instrumental. Students of Greek archeology think they have no difficulty In reading Greek music by these slgtib ; their only trouble is with the rhythm , for Greek notation does not In dicate how long any note is to bo held , Very little Greek music has been found , but such as there la does not teem to have captivated Prof , Mahaffy. Speaking of the hymn of Mcsoinedoa ho says"Setting It down ex actly as It sUmls , wo cannot hnrmonbo It Into anything but an ugly tune. " Speaking of an ode discovered at Delphi ho says "The composition , so far as It was preserved , was perfectly hideous according to all modern lyimms of art In fact , so unmeaning was It to us as a composition that no honest man , versed In our system , would undertake to nupply with Hi" smallest degree of confi dence a single bar And this may bo Mid of any other fragment of Greek music. II follows laws tv strange to us that wo are completely at a loss to understand It. Evo'y other kind ot Greek art may be used by us as a model , but Oroek music Is an unintel ligible and disagreeable succession of sound " It Is not Impossible that future discover ies may reveal a higher order of Greek music or show defects in the present meth ods of reading It and It may provo to be not so very bad after all However , one thing may be nafoly stated : Theie are no remains ot ancient musio In any country , no matter how high Its civilization In other ways , that can compare with the simplest example of our church music to say nothing of our symphonies or operas. The worship of the past In musical matters Is a. waste of emotion and a voluntary blindness to the greatness ot the present. I'rof Muhaffy wys : "The singing of the playa of Sopho cles to their original music would probably make them simply ridiculous to our ears. " But the singing ot a play ot Wagner , to modern music , Is the triumph ot musical art. Mr. J. K. Butler baa returned from u vaca tion spent In St , Louie , Indianapolis and Chicago , In Indianapolis be gave a couple ot organ recitals with Mich success that ho wax offered A position as organist In the Plymouth Baptist church.

Victor Herbert has been conducting some bind concerts at the Nashvlllo exposition nnd has scored n great success The appre ciation of music by the visitors has caused him to sot aside two evenings a week , In stead of ono , for classical music , At these "classical concerts" he appears ns "cellist as well as conductor.
