Chee and Chirk and Chirp looked much awed, and waved their little pink clover sunbonnets helplessly in the air till Father Cricky said he did wish they would stop, it kept him from seeing the music he was studying for the Marsh Grass Vesper Quartette. "What is it, Father?" called Chee, who was always curious. "It's a Cantata," said Mr. Cricky. Chee nudged Chirk and whispered: "Say, what's that?"
The first astonishment over, they took up a collection, after the customary careless, generous fashion. The young man saluted with his cane, and herded his three exhibits out. Keith, much struck, followed them, overtaking the quartette on the street. "My name is Keith," he said, "I should like to make your acquaintance."
'Faculty faculty, the voices of the quartette of singers seemed to repeat, in the quick movement of a composition they rendered beautifully, while they swelled and went faster, till the thing became a joyous chant of praise, a glorification of Cousin Maria's practical genius.
I gathered that Madame de Staemer had been to visit the invalid, and that she was all anxiety to return was a fact she was wholly unable to conceal. There was a tired look in her still eyes, as though she had undertaken a task beyond her powers to perform, and, so unnatural a quartette were we, that when presently she withdrew I was glad, although she took Val Beverley with her.
A few minutes later of more moderate traveling brought them to a point where a view could be had of the camp-site. "Over to the right notice those twin hemlocks yonder well, the wonderful spring bubbles up close beside those trees. Hold up, Frank!" called Jerry. So the quartette dismounted, jumping from their wheels while still in motion, after the habit of those who use motor-cycles.

Jerry held up at the lumber camp, for he wished to ask a few questions of the cook, who was a man he happened to know in a small way, though never particularly fancying Jock Stovers. The fellow stared at seeing a quartette of elegant motor-cycles come dashing up to the loggers' winter quarters. "Hello! Jock.
They carried a great variety of all sorts of things; and at the freighting rates quoted to us must have made money for their owners. Their drivers were a picturesque quartette in sombreros, wide sashes, and flowing garments. They sat their animals with a graceful careless ease beautiful to behold. Near sundown two horsemen turned off the trail and rode down to our little trickle of water.
She was pleased delighted with Mary, and the girls waiting to be admitted to the "hall" exchanged knowing glances when Dorothy told them the room was ready. Besides the pictures there was to be music the Brownlie girls played the violin beautifully, and Dorothy was an acknowledged pianist; then Agnes Sinclair was to entertain with monologues, and the boys were to have a vocal double quartette.
Watch him on that lucky day when he comes home with a full basket of trout on his shoulder, or a quartette of silver salmon covered with green branches in the bottom of the canoe. His face is broader than it was when he went out, and there is a sparkle of triumph in his eye. "It is naught, it is naught," he says, in modest depreciation of his triumph.
