old, gray-hatred minstrel Although, ap

sessed tlie bearing and vigor of man of
thirty.
He was reuiaikablp tall and erect. His
snowy beard deeended In wavy masses be

full gracefully over his shoulders. I Us face
was radiant with a manly dignity and

barn for a few moments, and, looking
heavenward ran kis fineers over tlie
chords, which gave tortli sounds of un
earthly sweetness, such as we had never
before listened to. We stood entranced,
incapabln.ot thought or action, unconscious
of tkte gathering crowd, eeliig only tlic
lordly minstrel, and hearing only hi heav
enly notes. Th music ceased. His eyes
tell smilingly upon us as he struck up a
fandango. luiniediataly a little girl, his
companion, till then unobserved sprang
into the circle. An Immense crowd had
by this time collected. The little girl be
gan to dance. She seemed to be eight or
ten years old, and was exquisitely beauti
ful. Her dress wasot the purest white gauze
and floated around her like folds of mist
blown and whirled about by a strong, but
gentle breeiso, as she moved to and fro,
keepiug step to the music. So ethereal
was lur appearance that I was reminded

The dance ended, and all eyes turned
from the child to the harper; when lo ! in
the twinkle of an eye, bis face changed In
to that ot a demon'. In another second,
horns, talons and wings were developed.
