THE GLYMPIAN THE MUSICIANH Sam put his haton down and matched out of the music hall, saying Dismissed until tomorrow morning at ten. On his way to his room. Sam thought ahout his early life. Tle was an old man now and he had just hegun to swing a haton a little while ago, hut he was happy that at last his dream of a musical career had come true. All his life he had wanted to hold a hatou in his hand and heat out the time on the music rack. How' proud of him his mother would he if she could see him now. .-Xh. well. there was the hell calling him to sum-er. he might as well go in hy himself or someone would come out after him. :Xt exactly ten o'clock the next morn- ine' Sam 't0 1in stood at his music rack 5. 1. nbc 'PHE The wood is one of the qnietest and most restful places to which one may go when sad or lonely. There is always cheer and comfort to he found there. No matter in what part of the wood we may he. we find comfort. Wfe come to the old mill on the hank of the quiet stieam. lt we stop to look ahout us. we will see many interesting things. VVe see the sunirrel running to and fro, and iumping from lirnh to limh. VX-'e see the trout swimming in the swift current helow the old dam. VVe hear the sweet songs of the hirds. and see them Hitting from tree to tree or hathing in the warm. still water of the inlets along the stream. VVG see the crow as she carries worms to her little ones in the nest. at the too of a tall nine. Vlle often see a rahhit hopping lazily down a winding path. feeding from the various plants along the way. VVS XY waving his haton and heating time with his foot. .Xt that moment, two white coated men. who heard the music as they went hy the door. stopped and looked in at Sam, who didn't even notice them. lt's uncanny. said one of the men. he's heen here eyer since his wife died three weeks ago and every day heis stood in front of that nlionograph and 'ravecl his haton at it with all his might. Xkhy, sometimes he pushes on the stick so hard rou'd think he was washing win- dows or sweeping or something like thatf' Oh. flirln't you know that Sain used to he the hest window washer at the Conservatory of Music at T.ishon. hetore he was l7l'C.lll0'l'lf here ?

NVQ may even see a doe with her young tawn going to the stream to drink, or may perhaps he startled hy a partridge. leaving the ground. VVe will always see flowers of all de- scriptions in the woods. Some are very sinnmle. hut there is heanty in every one of them. They seem to greet ns as they nod hack and forth in the gentle summer hrecze. VVe see the husy hees gathering honey and taking it to the old hollow tree. hehind the mill. .-Ns the sun hegins to set, we see its reflection in the water.
