A golden, singing note that swelled to die away upon a minor trill, a solemn poignant summons thrice repeated, then up soared a noble melody whose stately measure grew louder, swifter, wild- ly joyous; that seemed to voice the spirit of eager youth untouched as yet by care, that spoke of dewY downs and cloudless skies, a youth- ful world unstained by sin, and life was a sweet thing. A gift of God who taught the sun to shine, the birds to carol and children to laugh andsing; life was indeed a thing of joy -and yet -it was also a sacred trust to be lived and used to noble. purpose - and Sir Marmaduke, spellbound by the-everchanging beauty of these straws, forgot his Years and was young again with be lief in the Ideal faith in mankind, the world, the future and himself, eager with life and bold for achieve- ment, "Oh. man behold thy youth, the young and eager soul of thee fresh from the hands of Godt Be.. think thee what thou were, what thou . art, and what thou mightest have been. Grieve. grieve for all thy. noble dreams unrealised, for these many years spent to no man's profit but thine own! Alas selfish man, living but to thine own' desires, what hast thou achieved but weari- ness and solitude, and whither - whither tends thy lonely way?" Again the music changed, and now the voice was kinder, the voice of a familiar friend: "Oh, lonely man weary of soul, take .comfort, since in this world are Litany that need thee, thy strength, thy service so, while life and strength be thine use. them, forgetful of thyself, and in the service of these, thy brethren, find again the glory of thy youth. For he that serves his fellow, serves his God." Thus. rapt and inspired by these noble strains, Sir' Marmadulce felt his :heart swell responsive, and sigh- ing, -bowed This head in a new humili- ty, and this moment the tangel within him that better self so long shackled by cynical convention, by slothful ease and selfish indifference, this deathless angel bursting his fetters, arose while the music seemed to rise, swelling, to an ecstasy of triumph, a very paean of praise-". before the storm became worse.
