POWER.

The most dramatic German ballad ever written is undoubtedly Schubert's "Erlking." After having become thoroughly familiar with the detail and development of the story, which is founded upon the legend of the phantom Erlking, supposed to haunt the Black Forest of Germany after

having become assured that the trans

waits for .thee many bright, bright toys, many flowers shall we pluck for my boy." The alarm of the child is here well represented by the voice singing a flat against the unison naturals in the accompaniment. "O father, my father, and did you not hear the. Erlking whisper so close to my ear?" The words "father, my father"

; Marion, Ind., October 20. Olive Heath who declared that she had

; been hypnotized and forced into mar-

, rying Herbert Moreheart when she was already married to another man had suddenly discovered that More-

Y. l;art is more to her than she realized

J and she has at last decided to return

to the man from whom she so recent

ly sought separation.

The complaint was a sensational

-one and the attorneys had no thought

ithat .their client would not push the case tlrough the local courts. At the

time ',he complaint was filed, Olive

Heath lived in Marion. Recently she went to Ft. Wayne where she is said

I to h ive met Moreheart. The defen

dant in the action has either aagin

otized his wife and succeeded in

gettng her to agree to live with him

: onco more or the woman has consent

ed to return to her husband of her

' owa free will.

i The attorneys learned that their

. rJjcli'jnt had returned to FtL Wayne

iwtere she had seen Moreheart. She

die; not return to Marion and when th j case was called for trial in the

superior court yesterday the action

.wis dismissed by the attorneys.

J In her complaint Olive Heath de-

Jc ared that she had met Moreheart in

iichigan. She stated that he had

exercised an Influence over her and l sreed her to marry him although she

ias already married to another man. The, marriage occurred in Gladwin, plich. J Later the woman claimed to have j escaped from the man's influence and come to Marion where she had been hiding from him.

cult groups of triplets we are ready to study the bc, j rase by phrase, with the object in view of strengthening the story by bringing to the aid of the voice every known principle of expression. The introduction should be played furiously and with a marked accent, giving the effect of a horse's hoofs galloping at a terrific speed over a hard frozen surface. The first two sentences of the poem should set the en

tire picture before the eyes of the audience. By standing well forward on

the toes, every muscle of the body will

be alert, and the impression of the

haste of the father to reach his home

safely will be emphasized at once.

"O who rides by night thro' wood

lands wild? It is the father, embrac

ing his child." This should be given

out in a colorless voice, and without

setting forth the dramatic power of

the situation. Thenext passage "And close the little one lies in father's arm, from blast of tempest to keep him warm," should be sung with a certain warmth of tone which can be

secured by allowing the supporting

column ofbreath to settle on the dia phragm.'much as a mother unconsci

ously does in crooning to her babe. In

the accompaniment the diminished

chord upon the subtonic against the

tonic in the bass is well calculated

to express the tight clasp of the father's arms around the child's body. In

the question "My son, why hidest thy face so shy?" the father remarks the

child's sense of fear, which is expressed in the accompaniment by the minor

ninth chord upon the mediant. The voice, by a rising Inflection and a forward breath should suggest anxiety and concern. The reply of the fright-

Erlklng nigh. See'st not the Erlking

Erlking night, See'st not the Erlking with staff and shroud " should be de

livered in a "mezzo voice," the breath being in the naturei of a backward

expansion, the chest held rather flat and still. The father reassures the child saying, "No my boy, 'tis but a passing cloud." Here the voice should be broadly sustained and serious, but with no suggestion of fear. The unisons in the accompaniment, being devoid of any harmonic sub

stance, well represent the idea that

the child's fright is founded on an il

lusion.

Now comes the seducing song of the Erlking whispered in the ear of the terrified child. The voice should be sustained by a deep abdominal breath, but with the diaphram pushed upward. The enunciation should be very simple similar to that commonly used in conversing with very young children. There should be no slurring from one tone to the other, as there is no desire to arouse any feeling akin to sentiment. "O come with me, thou lovely child, in sport and p'ay will thy hours be beguiled. There

torn is' again heard by the boy: "O wilt thou go with me, my boy, my

daughter fair shall attend thee with joy, shall bear thee on thro' rain and

wild, and hug thee and kiss thee and

sing to thee, child." Now the voice

should portomento from tone to tone

and be supported by a downward and

outward expansion of the abdomen thus giving expression to the voluptu

ous sensuousness of the temptation But the child knows only on& senti

ment that of fear. The breath should

be taken audibly after the words

"father" in the sentence: "O father,

my father, and saw you not plain the

Erlking's daughter glide througn the

rain?" The father's answer this time should not contain as much assur

ance as formerly. He is beginning to

feet that the fright of the child may

not be caused entirely by an excited

imagination.

There is a possibility that the dread

Erlking may have singled out his lit

tle son for the next victim. This can be expressed in the voice by singing

the last half of the following passage with a flat, tense chest. O no, my boy

I knew it full soon, it was the gray

willow under the moon. But the sud

den crescendo in the accompaniment

discloses the additional anxiety of the

father to reach home quickly, before

any thing may happen. The closing

song of the Erlking is splendidly sup

ported In the accompaniment by its

forced and violent harmonies. The first sentence "I love thee, my boy"

should be sung softly, alluringly but

becoming impatient at the continued

resistance of the child, the Erlking

adds ferociously "Come I say, or else

silly child, I will drag thee away.?

The accompaniment here begins for

tissimo descriptive of the violent seiz

ing of the child by the dread phan

tom, and in the same measure the

boy shrieks out his last appeal to his

father for aid.

This appeal should, be sung hyster

ically, with a very high, nervous chest.

"O father, my father, now, now keep your hold; the Erlking has seized me,

his touch, it is cold." "Sore trembled

the father, he spurrs thro' the wild

while close to his bosom he clasps his dear child." The words "He

spurrs thro' the wild," should be ta

ken with a decided accelerando. The

first part of the next passage , "He

reaches his dwelling" should not anti

cipate the effect of -the next two

words, but should express a slight sense of relief at having finally accomplished that much of the journey

safely. But the two following words

in, dread" Informs us that the story

is not yet over. Then in a highly dra

matic recitative should be sung:

clasped to his bosom, (pause) the

child," then after a long and intense

silence the terrible last two words

should be whispered, very audibly, but not sung "was dead."

There is need to keep the people informed and the ministers are urged to co-operate with the Board of State Charities in this work. It is hoped that all who can do so will visit their local jail, and if possible, one of the State correctional institutions. Any information which the Board of State Charities pan give for the preparation of Prison Sunday sermons will be gladly supplied. The Board is issuing this year a pamphlet dealing with the history of the indeterminate sentence and parole laws and the results obtained under them.

ABBEY IN ASHES Founded In the Twelfth Century by the Benedictines. Selby, England, Oct. 20. The famous old Abbey church here, known as Selby abbey, is a total ruin, the result of a fire, which broke out in the organ chamber. The local fire brigade was unable to quell the flames and the brigades from York and Leeds were too late to save the historic building, only the bare walls being reft. Selby abbey was considered to be one of the finest monastic edifices in England. It was founded in the twelfth century by the Benedictines.
