OLD ENGLISH FOLK-SONGS IN THE UNITED STATES About a score of years ago Cecil J. Sharp, realizing that many® old English folk songs which had been current were in danger of dying out, went about the dialect-speaking parts of England and transcribed from the lips of old people the words and mu- sie of many old songs which had been in constant use in the days of their youth, but were no longer sung.

Just after the dinner hour ‘that evening, Sergeant Miles, alias Wil: liam Brown, the new ‘houseman, presented himself at the kitchen dooy of the square old Colonial house in which so many genera- tions of the Drake family bad lived. An elderly butler made his ap- pearange. “The new houseman?

Then he wheeled: “Sergeant, I haven't a theory, a suspicion, an idea of a possible solution! whole thing is monstrous, incredi- ble!

Isn’t that what you’re getting at?” “you mean hypnotism, of course? Jt seems tpo bizarre a thought to entertain seriously.

Miles waited until he heard the cther’s footsteps descending the stairs before he extinguished -the ight and raised the shade. ‘As he looked across the grounds, 1 shambling male figure strolled down the drive. It was assuredly ne‘ther the rotund chef nor the elderly, dignified butler. Could it be the ‘outside man’ or was there an eavesdropper,, an interloper hanging about the place? Descending: to the ground floor, Miles wandered out through the en- try and across the driveway. The hour was growing late and it was probable that he would have no opportunity that night to en- counter ‘the three brothers. Miles turned just ‘as the shambling fig- ure came sauntering around the bushes. ‘ «what you doin’ here?” The ne- gro’s teeth were chattering in his head. “Who are you?” miles countered amiably. “I’m William Brown, the new houseman.” “Dat’s de traf?

Am I never to have any peace?” The door closed again. behind the two and Miles crept to it and laid, his ear close to the panel. , “It’s just this, Roger: you’ll go to ‘pieces if you're not careful.” The |bearty, slightly aggressive tone of | Andrew, Drake was louder now, | but roughly affectionate. “You gave |yourself dead away tonight to that |bug-hunting, weed-gathering nut, | Grayle.
