You can see how the piano busi ness has been shot tq pieces by the radio and the auto when the city music stores are advertising player tfianos for as low as sl99—instru ments that would have brought SSOO or so a few years ago. "Die ques tion arises whether the piano isn't going to follow the old parlor organ into the limbo of disuse and oblivion. In past year all parents have felt they must scrape ami save in order to have their children “take music lessons”—but apparently this ia all going to be changed. It ia a fact that fortunes have been wasted on music lessons fer children who never made the slightest use of their mu sical training, such as it was, in their mature life. For one thing, it has | been, found that the old system of teaching music was all wrong: it was based on the stern German idea of drumming knowledge into the pupil by years of the most tedious labor. By this method all love of music was in many cases crushed to death. Now many short outs have been discovered and a child who has any real talent can be made into an artist in a compara tively short time. For those that have no talent the time and money are wasted. The piano may “come back” to some extent, but it will never regain the hold it had in the days when every American home was supposed to have its piano and one or more of the children hi the family were given protracted courses of "lessons” iu or der to execute a few musical fire works on the patient and long-suffer ing instrument. Incidentally the rest of the family and the neighbors had to endure the most nerve-wracking torture in the shape of hearing end less “exercises” repented over and ov er again until the pupil was supposed to have mastered them. The piano belonged to an era that is passing, if not past. First there was the old “square” piano, which took up about half the parlor; next there was a great improvement ill the form of the “upright,” which was really the old square stood up against the wall and with the “inwards" changed somewhat; and finally there wac —or is—the "baby grand,” which lies flat' on its belly like the old square and has a three-cornered end which sticks back far enough so that mother can use it to make biscuits or dc a little ironing on. But they are all going, going-r-aml the eternal auctioneer will before long say "gone!" Os course we don't mean that the piano will altogether go out of existence; it is such an ail round instrument that it will remain in use for a long time still, but it will be played by professionals, who have genuine talent and real train ing. The music will not be confined to a parlor or a concert hall, for a hand ful of people to hear, but it will be broadcast over the whole land, "from Greenland's icy mountains to India's coral stand.” so that every one, rich and poor, cultured and uncultured, black and white, denizens of crowded cities and rural people in the most remote and sparsely settled districts, will be able to enjoy it. There will then be no monopoly of the beauties of music by a few such as there has been in the past. Music will be democratized—curried right to the masses of the people so that Whoso ever will may listen and be benetiitted. It is going to be one of the greatest uplifting agencies the world Ims ever known. The nation is going to.be linked together and its interests and sympathies woven and interwoven in a manner never dreamed of until the radio came oil tile scene. The pnaM* bilities are so immense that all we can ' do is merely to outline them in a very vague way and wonder at them. : Not only music of course but every other sort of entertaining and in structing art will be thus brought right into every home. People then will have no excuse for skylarking to and fro in the torn! by auto in search of diversion. A new golden age will begin in which there will be a great trend back to the home life. Ev erything is pointing that way. The eclipse of the piano is merely one of the many indexes telling us what is coming. The piano has been a great boon in the home and all of us who love mush, and have faith in it as a great exalting power can’t help mourning the present neglect of it. But times have to change, and the thing to do is to adjust ourselves to them just as well as possible. The hands of the clock can't be turned back and we must remember that the future is going to present far greater opportunities than the past.

"Lucky" < Broad and Kid Bridges are opera! - i is<7 a flourishing “ shell-game ” on one I of the principal comers. The place is 1 in an uproar—everyone is bent on < getting across the border into Canada i to seek their fortunes. ' A human tide was already coming i northward from the States which swelled and quickened daily as the < news of George Cartnack’s discovery '■ spread across the world. It slowed at 1 Dyea—slowed because of the obsta - 1 ties that lay beyond. A boat has just 1 arrived at the tent city and with it t comes Pierce Phillips to join the 1 group of Argonauts. t i CHAPTER i. (Continued) 1 “A ton of provisions and a thou- ' sand dollars!" he repeated, blankly. 1 Why, that was absurd, out of all 1 possible reason! It would bar the ] way to fully half this rushing > army; it would turn m back at < the very threshold of the golden 1 North. Nevertheless, there stood 1 the notice in black and white, a clear 1 nnd unequivocal warning from the * Canadian authorities, evidently de- 1 signed to forestall famine on the 1 foodless Yukon. From the loud ar- 1 yutnents round about hi.n Phillips j fathered that opinion on the justice ' t>f the measure was about evenly 1 divided; those fortunate men who ' lad come well provided commended ' it heartily, those less fortunate fel- * bws who were sailing cl>. hauled J were equally noisy in their denuncia- * lion of it. The latter could see in * this precautionary ruling nothing ex tept the exercise of a tyrannical tower aimed at their ruin, and in tonsequence they voiced threats, and iromises of violence to which Phil lips put down as mere resentful nouthings of no actual significance. As for himself, he had never pos lessed anything like a thousand dol lars at one time, therefore the f roblem of acquiring such a pro r.igious sum in the immediate future rresented appalling difficulties. He I ad come north to get rich, only to l.nd that it was necessary to be rich i.i order to get north. A fine situa lion, truly! A ton of provisions would cost at least five hundred dol- I irs and the expense of transporting it across summer swamps and tun ■l'ras, then up and over that mys terious and forbidding Chilkoot of which he had heard so much, would I ring the total capital required up to inpossible proportions. The pros [Cct was indeed dismaying. Phillips tad been ashore less than ah hour, jut already he had gained sorfie fiirit den of the country that lay ahead *f him; already he had noted the ilmost absolute lack of transporta tion ; already he had learned the I rice of packers, and as a result he i bund himself at an impasse. One thousand dollars and two hun dred pounds! It was enough to i iash high hopes. And yet, strangely 1 inough, Phillips was not discour- i iged. He was rather surprised at fcis own rebound after the first thock; his reasonless optimism i vaguely amazed him, until, in con- ; I emulating the matter, he discovered i that his thoughts were running i 'somewhat after this fashion: "They told me I couldn’t make it; they said something was sure to 1 happen. Well, it has. I’m up against 1 it—hard. Most fellows woula quit and go home, but I sha’n’t. I’m poing to win out, somehow, for this is the real thing This is Life, Ad venture. It will be wonderful to look back and say: 'I did it. Nothing stopped me. I landed at Dyea with one hundred and thirty five dollars, but look at me now!’” Thoughts such as these were in his mind, and their resolute nature must have been reflected in his face, for a voice aroused him from his meditations. “It don’t seem to faze you much, partner. I s'pose you came heeled?" Phillips looked up and into a sullen angry face. “It nearly kills me," he smiled. “I’m the worst-heeled man in the crowd.” “Well, it’s a darned outrage. A (on of grub! Why, have you seen the trail? Take a look; it’s a man killer, and the rate is forty cents a pound to Linderman. It’ll go to fifty now—maybe a dollar—ana there iiton’t enough packers to handle half the stuff.” "Things are worse at Skagway,” another man volunteered. “I came up yesterday, and they’re losing a hundred head of horses a day—bog ging ’em down and breaking their 1 legs. You can walk on dead car -1 casses from the Porcupine to the 1 Summit.” A third stranger, evidently one of the well-provided few, laughed care , lessly. “If you boys can’t stand the Strain you'd better stay where you are,” said he. "Grub’s sky-high in Dawson, and mighty short. I knew what I was up against, so I came prepared. Better go home and try ' It next summer." j The first speaker, he of Ae sullen wsage, turned his back, muttering, tesentftdly: "Another wise guy! They make me side I I’ve a notion . to go through anyhow." • ! “Don’t try that,” cautioned Ae man from Skagway. “If you got past the Police .they’d follow you to Ml but what AeyM bring you back. They ain’t like our police.” Still meditating his plight, Pierce Phillips edged out of Ae crowd and walked slowly down Ae street. It ins f * ced J^ y - * few » pore painful evidence of Aeir new- I sS2er. S £>r d Aat the cMhtt °f their beach was crowded with piles of , merchandise over which Aere was i much wrangling, barges plying regU- ] larly back and forth from Ae an- ; chored ships added hourly to Ae j confusion. As outfits were dumped | upon the sand Aeir owners assetn- J bled them and bore them away to i Aeir temporary camp sites. In this j occupation, every man faced his own j responsibilities single-handed, for i there were neiAer drays nor carts ] nor vehicles of any sort. , As Phillips looked on at Ae diz- 1 order along Ae water's edge, as h« stared up the fir-flanked Dyea vat> , ley, whither a steady stream of traf- i sic flowed, he began to feel a fret- ] to join in it, to be urn j and going, ’Way yonder through 1 those hills towered the Chilkoot, and J [ beyond that was Ae mighty river rushing toward Dawson City, toward 1 Life and Adventure, for that was j what the gold-fields signified to j i Phillips. Yes, Life! Adventure! He had set out to seek Aem, to taste [ the flavor of Ae world, and Aere i i it lay—his world, at least—just out 1 [ of reach. A fierce impatience, a hot !11 resentment at that senseless restric- i tion which chained him in his tracks; 0) ran Arough Ae boy. What right _ had any- one to stop him here at Ae ~ very door, when just inside great things were happening? Past Aat ' white-and-purple barrier which he jj j could see against the sky a new land iji lay, a radiant land of promise, of ji| mystery, and of fascination; Pierce M vowed that he would not, could not, 1 I waiti Fortunes would reward the ] first arrivals; how, then, could he i permit these other men to precede j him? The world was a good place j —it would not let a person starve, i | o “A ton of provisions and a thou- 9 sand dollars!” he repeated blankly. Ej He noted a group of people gath- H ered about some center of attrac tion whence issued a high-pitched ■ intonation. if “Oh, lode at Ae cute little pea! I Klondike croquet, the packer’s pas- ■ time. Who'll risk a dollar to win D a dollar? It's a healthy sport. It’s H good for young and old—a cheeild 0 can understand it. Three Eskimo I igloos and an educated pill!” “A shell-game!” Pierce' Phillips ■ halted in his tracks .and stared in-t _ credulously, Aen he smiled. "A| | Aell-game, running wide open onl the main street of Ae town 1” This ’ 1 was Ae frontier, the very edge of , things. With an odd sense of un reality he felt Ae world turn back j ten years. He had seen shell-games at circuses and fair-grounds where 1 he was much younger, but he sup posed Aey had long since been abandoned in favor of more ingeni ous and less discreditable methods of robbery. The operator maintained an in- < cessant monologue At Ae moment of Pierce’s arrival he was directing it at an ox-eyed individual, evi dently selected to be the next vic tim. The fellow was stupid, never- - theless he exercised some caution at first. He won a few dollars, Aen he lost a few, but, alas I Ae gam- . bling fever mounted in him and f greed finally overcame his hesitation. ' With an eager gesture he chose a J shell and Phillips felt a glow of sat isfaction at Ae realization that Ae ; man had once more guessed aright. jj Drawing forth a wallet, Ae fellow ! laid it on Ae table. “I’ll bet Ae lump,” he cried. The dealer hesitated. “How much you got in that alligator valise?” “Two hundred dollars.’’ “Two hundred berries on one bush!” The proprietor of Ae game was incredulous. "Boys, he aims to leave me cleaner than a snow- | bird." Seizing Ae walnut-shell be- | tween his thumb and forefinger, he turned it over, but instead of ex posing Ae elusive pellet, he managed, by an almost imperceptible forward movement, to roll it out from under its hiding-place and to conceal it between his Aird and fourth fingers. The stranger was surprised, dum founded, at sight of Ae empty shell. 1 He looked on open-mouAed while his wallet was looted of its contents. C “Every now and Aen I win a 2 little one.” Ae gambler announced C as he politely returned Ae bill-case j to its owner. He lifted anoAer 2 shell, and by some sleight-of-hand C managed to replace Ae pellet rpon j Ae table; Aen pravely flipped a five i dollar gold piece to one of his boosters.
