The Little Old Gray Man's Secret
Uy DADDY
Jack and Janet wanted the birds
te neit in their deer yards. The
little old gray man brings them bird
houses, but the birds de net move In.
Jack and Janet find it is because
Blue Jay has pretended te be land
lord of the houses.
CHAPTER VI.
rnQE little old gray man chuckled aa
he brought out the house he in
tended for Blue Jay. lie raised ene
corner of the canvas covering se Jack
and Janet could peek within.
They saw a trim, bolid-Ieoklng, red
building. Its deer was wide open, but
Its windows nere barred. Jack nnd
Janet thought it much tee fine a heiihc
for rascal Blue Jay until they taw the
name above the deer. When they saw
that name they joined In the little gray
man'H chuck e. Fer the name was
"JAIL." And Jail wan just what ras
cal B ue Jay deserved for trying te 6tcnl
the houses of the birds and charge them
rent in bugs, beetles and worms.
"That la a tine house for tsiue jay,
lauched Jack, "but hew arc you going
te get him Inte tt?"
Wateh me," chuckled the Uttle old
gray man
Tn lift
The little bid gray man get a high
step ladder from bis Uttle old gray
wagon, and set it up beslde the pole
of the Wren Vllage. He mounted the
ladder until he could reach the steeple
of the church. In the steeple were the
bugs, beetles and wermH which uie Dirui"
in the cities te go a little way Inte
the country and hunt.
He estimated that Pennsylvania to
day has enough hunters te make mero
than half a mil' Ien se'dlcra overnight
"the best In the 'world."
Mr. I'hiUlps told the committee Penn
sylvania fifteen years age Inaugurated
what la new being considered for the
whole country.
"The sanctuaries were se successful
thnt we have continued the work and
today we have forty sanctuaries
throughout the State. Twenty of them
are en Stafc lands, five en property
taken under long ieuse from ten te
twenty jeurs und seven purchased by
the "sportsmen fund.
"In 1015 we had 02.000 licensed
hunters. On ncceunt of the game be
coming mere plentiful lust year we sold
1!02,000 llccnbca. In addition we have
'215.000 farmers in Pennsylvania. The
'armeru are net required te pav for n i
lii-enne en their own lands. We have
in Pennsylvania then an army of at
least llQO.OtK.) hunters who can be mob
ilized lu ene day.
"It has been estimated that for an
expenditure of $(500,000 yearly for
operation of thene mnctmirles, appor
tioning from this $50,000 te $00,000
In elk, deer,, wild turkey, English phras phras phras

Jaw. that the kill of game In Peunsyl- '
vnntii. taking the meat value, is about
$3,000,000 and -the furs about $3,000,
000. Figuring this at 6 per cent gives
you about $140,000,000 that would fee,
the value of tho-nteckln the weeds.'' 1

gray man brushed them all out of the
steeple Inte the jail.
Blue Jay saw what the little old jrray
man was doing, and raised a fierce
racket. He screamed and screeched and
scolded as he danced about In a tree
et the edge of the clearing.
The llttle old gray man climbed down
the ladder, and carried the jail te the
very tree in which Blue Jay was danc
ing. There the little old man fastened
the jail ,te a low limb. Then he re
turned te Jack and Janet. He pre
tended net te pay any attention te Blue
Jay, but he held In bis fingers a thread
which led te the jail.
Blue Jay quit scolding when he saw
the new beuse in the tree. He put bis
head en one side and peered nt it with
curious eyes. Then he bopped nearer
te it. He saw his bugs, beetles and
worms Inside. He cast a sly leek at
the Ittle old gray man nnd at Jack and
Janet. They didn't appear te be notic
ing him.
With n quick flirt. Blue Jay dived
into the deer. At that instnnt the little
old gray man pulled the thread. The
doers of the jal! swung shut, and there
was Blue Jay caught Inside with his
bugs, beetles and worms.
"He! He! He! I guess that will keep
him out of mischief for a while,"
chuck'ed the litte old gray man.
With Jack and Janet helping, the
llttle old mun quickly cleared away the
sticks nnd stone that stepped the doers
of the. bird houses. Then the little old

Jack and Janet looked In surprise at
the "B. J. and J. Landlords."
"What does that stand, for?" asked
Jent.
"Can't you guess," asked the little
old gray man. "Why It stands for
'Beth Jack and Janet. Landlords!' "
The little old gray man put the jail
into his wagon. "I'll take tills ra.scal
Blue Jay away te a place where he will
net disturb you," he said. "Ah seen
as we nrc gene, watch your bird friends
move Inte their npartments."
Sure enough, as seen aa the birds
had seen the Uttle old man go away
with Blue Jay, they left off their
scurrying nfter feed, and darted into
the houses. And as they moved In thev
raised a song of Jey, a song that filled
the whele clearing with music, and that
made Jack and Janet thrill with happi

and every twilight of that long, jelly
summer.

THE art of music had had many mere
men learned In the ether arts and
sciences, .and the scientists hare been
by no means the leafet In adding te the
mechanical perfection of "music, both"
In Instruments and' In the theory of
composition.
The latest te contribute lfl Dr.
Merltz Steehr, professor of bacteriology
nt Mount St. Vincent's Collcge in New
Yerk, and hla contribution ,i a port
able keyboard which may be super
Imposed en Any piano. It also con
tains a typewriting device which will
record whatever ene .may play. ,Dr.
Steehr's device consists of a manual
which rests firmly upon ,the normal
clavlaturc of the piano, and the depres
sion of the keys of the manual trans
mits the impact of the fingera te the
keys of the' piano by means of little
reds which pass through holey in the
stationary frame. This frame may be
shifted from stde te side en the clav
latur, be that transposition into it
hlghpr or 'lower key becomes n matter
et mechanics and net ene of musician
ship. By the use of this device It will be
possible te ploy everything In the key
in which it is written en the 'super,
Imposed manual nnd by moving the
Ktatlenary frame get whatever tonality
Is desired from the actual instrument
beneath.
TT 18 te be hoped, if only for the sake
X of
the- Inventor, that his devlce will
meet with a mere general reception
from musicians than has been accorded
te ether similar devices In years past.
Thrrr- hnvn lirnn mnnv of them, but
none of them has come into uu; thing.
like general use.
Thn ertrn Uilieiinl ilrilcn has tW
reasons for eilslencu. ene u moderately
legitimate one, und the ether net no
geed. The first of these is te produce
effects of which the ordinary piano is
net capable, and if It be really neces
sary te extend the capabilities of the
Instrument, this is u geed and tufliclcnt
reason for ut least pnrtlal ndoptlen.
The ether reaeen is te make piano
playing easier, Hnd te de uwey with
much of the drudgery inseparable from
complete nrtlstry and perfect mechan
ical ability.
This reason Is open for argument.
The mechanical drudgery of leurnlng
nny instrument has another s-ide which
Is net generally considered, and that
Is the mental discipline which gees with
nny hard work. It Is doubtful whether
It Is desirable te de away entirely with
the hard labor element of music, an
this work gives mental, if net Intel
lectual, qualities, without which high
attainment, at least from our prebent
standard?, would be Impossible.
e It
Till, keyboard of the piano has been
the subjret of altnect as much at
tention from it few pianists and many
bcicntists as any ether department of
music. Ncnrly all these experiments
for few of them progressed beyond the
experimental ategc are of compara
tively recent date; that Is, within tne
last seventy years.
The scale of the concert grand piano,
the standard of the percussion instru
ments, was definitely fixed about 18Ti2,
at which time It seemed te be agreed
upon by the makers, at least within a
tone or se of the limit of distinguishable
tone, both high und low. Up te this
point the matter of keyboard held a
secondary position nnd thcre waa no
really serious effort te effect a chunge
Tlnr u-tth the tonal rnnee riptinitr.lv
fixed, the attempt at improvement e'f 1
the keyboard began and. strangely
enough, these chunges were net based
upon the improvement of tone, but upon
the simplifying of mechanical achieve
ment.
Among the early Inventors, If they I
may be called ,such, who endeavored te I
change the kevbeard were William A.
B. Lunn. of Eng'and, whose Idea ua
te group the six upper and the six lower j
keys instead of the seven und five of
the erd'nnry octave. This gave all the I
maier scale in two fingerings, as an I
upper or a loner key became the key-
note. Mr. Lunn presented hi.s keyboard
about 1S-10, u decode before the tenti
register of the piano had been definite!
fixed. In this conception the nete (' ,
became a b'nek key, a feature of sevcra'
of the "new" keyboards, due, perhaps
te the fuct that the later tchoel of pian
ists regard all keys as en u lvel.
Ofheru uhe exnerimenteil ulthnut n.
manent success vrere Dr. K. B. b'chu-
mnnn, a German physician, and Mr.
Bnsiiiquct. a profev-er of St. Jehn's
College. Oxford, It' Is interesting te
note that these men were net prefes-
sienal piunlsts, but men he became in-
terested in the subject In a large metis-
ure theoretically.
THE most Important application of
this cystem was that of Paul von
Jonke. whose keyboard attained mere
tegue than any of the ethers, or per
haps it might be mere accurate te s.iy
thun all of the etheru together. Tn
this fingerlmnrd each note hiin th'ee
keys, each lower than the ether, attached
te a key lever and thus six parallel
rows of whele tone Interval nrc nro nre
duced. The advantage clalmrd for thlsj
keyboard Is a freer use of the fingers
thun Is possible with the ordinary
beard, as the performer has the choice
of three double rows of kcs. The:
octave is brought within the stretch of I
the erdluar) sixth and th" ue of the j
arpeggio stjle for wide chord. is net
necefsary- '
But, notwithstanding these apparent'
advantages from the standpoint of th,e j
performer und the fuithcr fact that'
Dr. Janke's keyboard had the benefit of'
.unlimited publicity, it was ut'er a real
rival of the accented nliine.
This Is probably largely due te the
fact that the existing literature of the
ptaue is thoroughly effective en the
old style kej beard and the pianist,
who really count have learned and nre
accustomed te this method. It weu'd
Indeed be difficult te Introduce nn in
strument which would demand the re-

what the advantages of Mich a device
ure is net clear. It could be used only
in the recording of transient musical
thoughts or improvisations and the
vuue of these thoughts Is cxcccdlngl)
ptob'pnietlcal. In the history of music,
the. great composers, thoie who really
liad 'anything te say in tone, had no
difficulty in witlng down their thoughts;
and no musician educated te the point
where, he Is fitted te 'compose will have
any .trouble in doing thc.sumc thing.
