Bluebird! You are a blithesome soul: You have caroled all summer long, But now that earth's in winter role, No more the woods echo your song. But yet there soars o'er Johnstown High, Tho' Mother E.arth's in autumn dress, Two symbols fair against the sky, The bright bluebirds of happiness. The Peculiar Song Evelyn Nelson, 22M Edward Dupont was, in his estimation, the happiest young man in the world. Yet, but a few hours ago he had aimed no higher than to go on touring Europe, which pastime was no especial treat for Edward, for he had toured Europe several times before with his father, a wealthy manufacturer. .What could have changed his gloomy aspect to one of such a rosy hue? Nothing more than the simple reason that he had fallen in love. Only that morning, his father having left him alone, he had strolled over to the southern part of the town to view a so-called haunted house.

5 SPECT-ATOR he was somewhat startled, when, upon entering the doorway, he was greeted by a Hood of beautiful, strange music. Look- ing about him to find the source of the melody, he was sur- prised to see, in a far corner of the room, the most beautiful vision his eyes had ever beheld. It was a young girl, dressed in filmy white and wearing a hat, the pure whiteness of which was a striking background for her jet black hair, and large dark eyes. So absorbed was she in her song, that it was some time before the girl noticed the stranger's presence. Then she broke off and rather apologetically exclaimed, l beg your pardon. I did not see you at first. l love to sing, and the sight of these ruins somehow affected me. Her spoken words sounded fully as musical as her 'song had been. He could hardly refrain from telling her how lovely she looked. He talked with her for a short time, and gathered that she sang in public places for a living, her mother and father having died when she was quite young. For weeks after this, Edward and the girl met quite often at the ruins, and her beauty and depth of character made him love her more each day. One day, when as usual, he visited the place, to his great surprise, the girl was not there. Nor did he see her again during his stay in Rome. After he returned to America, Edward tried to forget the girl, as he had forgotten many a chance acquaintance. But try as he would, he could not. Night after night he visited theatres, operas, and various public places, hoping that he might find her. For he remembered that she had often spoken of coming to America. It was a hard task, for he had had no occasion to ask the girl's name, and did not know for whom to inquire. One night, when he had almost given up hope of ever seeing her again, he was in his fatheris office while the radio was playing. Suddenly a beautiful, strange melody flooded the room. l-lis heart almost stood still-it was the song she had.. sung. He rushed out of the office, and lost no time, in finding out the girl's whereabouts. l-le found her at the N. D. K. A. Radio Station, where he met her after her performance. When she left the station he impetuously rushed up to her. She recognized him at once,
