It was.a new melodeon, and a good one for those days—1867. We paid forty-five dollars for it .in Portland, and raised the money all among our- selves, without help from the older folks at home. Music at school with us then. Not every teacher is musical. But Master Pearson, who taught that winter and fer two win- ters afterward, was a singer. He loved music, and had the gift of creat- ing an interest in it. During the first week of the term he opened and closed school by singing a hymn, assisted timidly at first by two or three of the larger girls. : Others soon began chiming in, how- ever, inspired by the melody of the master’s voice. Within a fortnight the whole school was singing, or try- ing to sing, and during the third week we raised the money and bought the melodeon. We purchased also twenty-five copies of a singing-book, called ‘School Songs’; and ever after that the old schoolhouse resounded morning, noon and night to our new vocal efforts. There were also evening musicales—al- though that word had not yet come into vogue. Certain of the parents in the district were afraid that so much music was detrimental to other studies, and that a musical schoolmaster was likely to be good for little else; but that was hardly true of Master Pearson. He was quite as keenly intercsted in arithmetic, geography and history. He hung the bare walls of the old schoolroom with large maps, charts and pictures. The room had never looked so attractive; and, indeed, we had never made such progress before. Those were among the few terms at old District Number 11 when every scholar was interested and did not wish to lose a day. Tidings as to what a good school we were having and how well our school- recom looked spread abroad, and ex- cited envy among the scholars in Dis- trict Number 9, two miles to the east of us. There had been rivalry and sometimes open hostility between the two schools for several generations. The Number 9 boys appeared to hate us, for no better reason than that we were in advance of them in scholar- ship. Our schoolhouse was rather bet- ter than theirs; we had everything a little better; and it may be, too, that we were inclined to put on a few airs. They thought so, at least, and con- stantly twitted us with being ‘“nabobs,” and applied other less complimentary epithets. Nevertheless we sometimes went over there to spelling-matches and school exhibitions; and occasional- ly we sent them a general invitation to visit us. Our new melodeon augmented their envy. On Friday ‘evening of the seventh week of school we gave an en- tertainment with music. Master Pear- son read selections from “The Last Days of Pompeii,” and exhibited pic- tures of Mount Vesuvius, Pompeii and Herculaneum. A young lady played the melodeen. Thomas Edwards de- claimed “The Roman Sentinel,” and the school sang six songs from our new book. While the master was reading wc heard a great stamping of feet in the entry outside. The door then opened, and four of the Number 9 boys tramped in and took seats tagetver in the farther corner of the room. All four were well known to us. Ty were Newman and Rufus Darn- ley, Coleman Hays and Clinton Mec- Causland. It looked a little as if they had entered with a design to be rude, or at least offensively independent. We talked with them as usual, how- ever, after the entertainment was over. Newman had never seen a melodeon, and looked at the instrument with curiosity, making several jokes about it. We invited them to come again the following week, and bade them ask as many of the other Number $ boys and girls as cared. to hear us sing. “Al right,” they said, with a laugh, “we will.” This was on Friday evening. Dur- ing the following Saturday night the melodeon disappeared from the schoo!- house. There was no school Saturday, and no one went there. On Sunday evening there was a Methodist prayer- meeting at the house. The melcdeon was then discovered to be missing. There were tracks in the snow under one of the windows outside, and marks on the window-sill, showing where the sash had been pried up and the melo- deon taken out. A brass button off a jacket was also picked up in the snow. Melodeons at that time had legs and pedals which could pe taken off, un- like the later cabinet and parlor or- gans of which they were the prototype. ‘With its legs removed, the body of the melodeon resembled a box three feet and a half long by two feet wide and a foot in depth. Nor was it so heavy but that one could lift it easily and draw it away on a hand-sled. was a new thing By C. A.

It was impossible to track the thieves, or do more than guess which way they had gone. Not only had they taken the melodeon, but they had searched all the desks in the house and cap- tured every copy of ‘School Songs.” It would be difficult to describe what a wave of indignation and excitement swept through Number 11 that night! Naturally, we suspected the Number 9 boys from the first; but of course they could not steal our melodeon and install it at their schoolhouse without Indeed, we could not imagine. what good it would do them to take it. Six of us went over to the Number 9 schoclhouse that very night and looked in. We could see no sign of the melodeon. Om our way back we called at the Darnley farm and asked Newman and Rufus if they knew anything about it. They only laughed at us. We could learn noth- ing whatever from them. The news spread rapidly. We made inquiries everywhere. Even the young- est scholars and little children over in Number 9 were cajoled and ques- tioned as opportunity offered, in the hope of picking up a clue. The teacher in that district, too, as well as several of the older persons, took the matter up, and questioned the boys closely. But not a thing could be learned. So I may as well relate here what had happened, although the facts did not all come out untilg twenty years | later. Our suspicions concerning the Numi- ber 9 boys were well-founded; but of the four who had come to our musical entertainment that Friday evening, canly cone of them; Newman Darnley, was concerned in the capture of the melodeon. The three others knew nothing about it. On that Saturday afternoon New- man had gone to mill, four mies from home, with a grist of corn and barley. His road lay through Number 11 and beycnd it. As it was late in the day, he had to wait nis turn at the mill till evening, and meanwhile he fell in with a crony of his, named Alfred Battellow, a boy whose habits were far from good. Teo pass the time they called at a rather disreputable grocery near the mill, and had a drink of hard cider. Newman did not get away from the mill till after nine o'clock in the even- ing; Alfred set off with him. On their way they stopped at a public house, known as Tibbetts’ Tavern, to talk with the drivers of two teams which were conveying supplies to. a lumber- camp up in the great woods near the boundary, and had put up at Tibbetts’ for the night. These supplies formed bulky loads of boxes and barrels, stowed on two long sleds which stood in front of the tavern. The schoolhouse in Number 11 was at the forks of the road, half a mile from Tibbetts’, and it was after leav- ing the tavern, on their way home, that the two, feeling fit for some prank hatched the plan. of taking our melo- deon and hiding it in- one of those loads of supplies bound for the lum- ber-camps. The scheme presented itself to them as, an enormous joke. Tkey drove home with the grist; but after New- man’s parents and the rest of the | hecusehold supposed that the two had | gone to bed. they callied forth again, procured a box, a hammer and nails, | ind taking a = hand-sled, returned to | the schoolhouse. By this time the night was well advanced. No one was astir on the highway. They broke in, got out the melodeon, boxed it up along with its legs and the “School | songs,” then hauled it to the tavern. By this time everyone at Tibbetts’ was sound asleep; and the two boys Jound little difficulty in overbauling | one, of the loads enough to slip the ! box inconspicuously inside it. This ! done, they sneaked away home, vastly tickled over what they deemed a tre- | mendous joke on the ‘nabobs” of Number 11. Early the next morning the sapply eams went on their way with their | icads to = the lumber-camp, seventy | niles to the north. And even after | the melodeon was discovered in the | load, it was supposed to have been sent | to the loggers by some friend or char- itable person, to beguile their scant leisure time. The loggers received it with delight, without a thought that | it was not designed for them. A reed instrument like a melodeon is hardly adapted to Terpsichorean strains. But those loggers contrived to dance to it. Of the thirty men at | this camp, twenty-four were French- Canadians, and there were two among them who could play it. They played everything on it, including jigs of quickest time and wildest movement. Really, thie pleasure those loggers took from it was worth the price of the melodeon—although it would have been hard to bring the bereaved schol- ars in Number 11 to think so. We were filled wit hanger, and found no consolation. quite as incomnsolable. melodeon sadly.

Several of us attempted to’ y roie of detectives, We scrutinized that bass jacket button, and even ‘in- terviewed clothing dealers and tailors at the “hree villages nearest to us. We also sent two of the older girls to make secret inquiries over in Number as to all the jackets worn by the bovs there. But we gained no clue. Newman and Alfred kept quiet; and as no one else knew anything about it, there was nothing to icak out. The button was Alfred Battelow's, But as he lived in another district and at a distance, and did not wear that jacket afterward, suspicion never fell on him. There were numbers of false clues. We heard of several melodeons being sold in other towns round about; but on obtaining particulars, they all proved different from ours. The con- clusion finally settled on was that some of the Number 9 boys had taken the melodeon out of spite, and buried it, burned it, or cut a hole in the ice of the lake and sunk it. After a hilarious winter at the lum- ber-camp, the melodeon migrated over the border. In the latter pact of March, when their winter's work was done, and the Canadian loggers were ready to return to their homes, a dis- cussion arose 2s to who should have the instrument. For they had regard- ed it as a present to them. Six of them at last packed it on a hand-sled and hauled it away to a little settle- ment, called Black l.ake, in the Prov- ince of Quebec, thirty or forty miles above the boundary. At Black Lake, or else in the neizh- boring hamlet of Garthby, there was a public school, then recently estab- lished under the Dominion school sys- tem, where the children received in- struction in French. The school was in charge of a young lady from Sorel, named Marie Ladoucier, who had some proficiency in music. Several of the lumbermen were ad- mirers of Mademoiselle Ladoucier, and it came about ere long that our lost melodeon was installed at this little French schoolhouse, where for three it gave unbounded satisfac- tion, morning, noon and night, as well as at evening meetings of the French people. They knew nothing of its pre- vious history. and had no idea but that a NJ i it was honestly come by. Not till August did so much as a lisp us as to its whereabouts. French-Canadians at this time had be- gun to come down over the border, to work not only at lumber-camps, but In July that summer one of same young men from Black Lake called at our place, looking {or a job during the hayinz season. We hired him, and he was with us four weeks. His name was Benoit Lech- | arme. He could speak a little English, and as the melodeon was the subject of oc- casional conversation, he heard of it. It was recalled afterward that. he asked a great many questions about it —how it lecoked, where it was bought, what maker's name was on the front of it, and so forth. Probably hegisur- mised that this was the melodeon that had appeared at the lumber-camp, and been carried to Black Il.ake. But if so, he was discret. He said nothing, and at last went home to Canada without dropping a hint. Per- haps he wished first to make sure, be- fore saying anything; perhaps he de- sired to talk it over with Mademoiscilo Ladoucier. One night about a fortnight after L.echarme left us, as we were sitting down to our five-o'clock supper, a sud- den jingling and rattling out in the vard came to us through the open win- dows; and glancing out, we espied the oddest outfit ever seen in that place. There were two little black, shaggy horses with brass-mounted harness, collar and hames, attached to a queer vehicle, half-cart, half-wagon. There was 2 box in the back of it, on which | perched a black-haired boy wearing a cap—although this was Auzust! | was an older boy, dressed in much the same way, and beside him sat a young woman, apparently nineteen or twenty- years old, soberly dressed in black, ex- cept for her hat, which was adorned with bright red roses and a profusion of light green ribbon.

We set up the melodeon, and held a musical julibee over its return. - De- spite its peregrinations, it seemed to be uninjured. Mademoiselle Ladoucier played very well; and she sang several French school songs. She informed us that the young lum- bermen who carried the melodeon to Canada had been afraid, when they learned that it was stolen, that we might have them put under arrest if they came to Maine with it. They all desired her to take it back to us, be- cause she could speak English, and make us understand the circumstances. During the three days of their visit, Mademoiselle Ladoucier came to know all the young people of the place—and thereby hangs a little romance, which, however, meed not be entered on here. Bo, after all the dreadful suspicions which had filled our minds, the melo- deon came back, safe and sound. In truth, the world is never half so bad as some persons think it. Despite our dark suspicions, the -young people in Number 9—all but one—were quite in- nocent of any wrong-doinz: and these youthful Canadians had taken great pains to restore our property as soon as they learned of our loss.—Youth's Companion.
