of nonsense like music do for them? Al.
I am sorry for them--they didn't know.
If Sophie had been given some music anr1
allowed in some way for I little while io
learn to play or sing, what it would have
done for them. They only could think of
the immediate thing. Sophie begged her
father and mother to let her buy i piano
or an organ or something, but no, they
wouldn't think of it.
Then there was the box at the Brand
house. Sophie didn't discover it at once.
One day in ransa'king the garret, she
found it. She couldn't iiagine what it
might be. Then she saw a hook, and she
untooked it, and then she lifted the tol,
and there was   . . well, Sophie was so
hippy, that she couldn't speak. She did-
n't know what it was exactly, but it was
a piano or an organ, she wasn't sure
which. Later sie learned that it was art
organ, because one ihad to pump it with
his feet. She would press a key and it
would sound a note, if she pumped the
bellows correctly.
It was what she had prayed for and
cried for. And now what could she to
with it? She spoke to Jim about it, but
toe wasn't enthusiastic: told her he had
been thinking of throwing it out.
"I want to learn to play it. Jim," she
cried, clapping her hands in delight.
"Fiddlesticks!" said Jim.
But she had determined that with the
box in the house, she could learn. No
matter what happened. She ransacked the
papers for information on how to play it.
She tried to work it out herself, and hav-
ing native genius, she recognized when her
fingers made harmony and when they did-
n't. She had a hard struggle of it. There
is no use going into the whole account,
but finally she could sound out the hymns
and some songs, and she could play all the
old melodies. She even played her own
improvisations.
I like to think of Sophie as she must
have looked up in the garret, playing that
little wheezy organ.
At first, she had moved the organ down
stairs. The hired manr helped her, one
Sunday morning: >ut Jim objected. "He
was a good soul," said Sophie, "my dear
husband: but he didn't like it. I was
sorry for him, but what could I do?" So
there she was up in the garret, when she
could spare the time, having a lovely party
all by herself.
Then the little children came-there was
a little boy first. I must give you the inci-
dent of Sophie's boy and the box. When
he was just in long clothes, Sophie iii-
tiated him into the organ mysteries. He
cooed and laughed and seemed to have a
wonderful time of it. Sophie noticed that
he would cry though, when the music was
sad, and gurgle when it was happy. There-
fore she was sure he would be a musician.
But he nrever became a musician-he never
even became a man, A frosty night, when
he died, poor Sophie could do nothing ex-
cept go up into the garret and cry over
the organ. Her little boy, how she missed
him, and yet how inuch that organ soothed
her pain and comforted her. Wonderful
box!
The next child .was a little girl-ah
she's a fine one now. Sophie wrote me
that she is now nineteen. She plays the
organ. She plays other things too, but I
must not tell you everything, or I will
spoil my story. The little girl, her real
name is Gertrude. loved the box in the
garret. too: and when she was not more
than five, sie could play it. The hired
man. John Walters, used to hold his side
laughing when she did the "Arkansas
Traveller," and one day. Jim Brand came
Uti and caught him as be was jiggifig to
Gertrude's aecompaniment. Jim was very
angry and John was more careful after
that.
There camie a time, when affairs on the
farm  went badly. It wasn't anybody's
fault especially. The crops went back on
him. There were lots of expenses to be
met. There was a third baby, and there
had been a fire in the barn. and the horse
had been burneul-and it was a bad yeur.
Jim was particularly cranky and Sophie
particuaurly unhappy, except that she hal
Gertrude and baby Jim and the organ. I
cant keep you waiting any longer for the
climax of our story. It happened one
rainy, miserable night. It had been rain-
1m for "rmIa mo days, and it worts  the season
when it should not have rained at all. Jim
was sitting all alone at the table. le
had been trying to read by the light of the
oil mInmp. but he threw down the paper,
and held his hands; nod I am very Ir-
happy for all the cruel things he thought
as he sat there.
Then all of I sudden, there caine a sound
from  the garret . . . the wheezy old
organ and . . . the sound of voices. It
was Sophie and Gertrude and the hired
man singing a pretty song Upstairs. There
was the swish-swish of the rain outside.
and the crash-bang of the thunder, and
the whee-hoo of the wind around the
corner, and Upstairs the singing of the
songs and the voice of aln old organ.
At first Jim jumped up to yell "Stop
that noise!" but as he went to the stairs,
he felt the notes pressing a soft touch to
his brow, and' seeming to say "steady,
young man, be gentle,-how can you
murder a voice like ours". He did stop
anyway, and as he moved to the stairs,
he had decided he would listen . . . sort
of listen, with a sneer.
Sophie heard all about it later, when
Jim told her how he had stood there, then
tip-toed up to the garret and looked at
