I looked at him wonderingly, Per- haps a little frightened. “You with sight cannot understand that,” he continued, now angrily. “I learned to play with my violin so that I could feel color. There is no sound so beautiful or awful that I cannot achieve. And to me every sound is colored.” He stopped. and recom- menced abruptly with what I thought was another topic. “Have you ever heard of the Secret Note of Tibet?” He paused again and then went on. “It is practiced in Tibet, in the Hidden City. There they have secrets centuries old. Sometimes, to punish a criminal, they place him in a cell, and every so often a certain curious note is sounded. The constant repetition of that note is so awful that in some 'way it destroys the optic nerves. The man goes blind forever * ‘ ' I know that hotel” Then and not u itil then did my befogged brain realize this was a madman speaking. ‘ “For some years I have been search- ing for that sound, and at last I found it. I did it by the colors I feel. Ah! you can’t understand, but you Will soon. I am going to sound that note again and again and again until you are blind. It can’t hurt me. How could it?” He gave a laugh that Was born of something blacker than mere blindness. “And why you?" he went on. “It is not just because it is you. I’ve been waiting, preparing months for some one to come into my web. You happen to be the one. But you will be only the first. You should live in darkness. All the world should * * * Yes, I am going to drag you into the pit with me, where light never comes. Then you will know.” He went to the window. and, pulling aside the blinds. drew across the old- fashioned windows their heavy wood shutters. “No one will hear us now,” he mut- tered. Without another word he took up his violin and bow and stood facing me. He Was full in the glare of the gas, which was well behind me, and the silver of his hair and beard and the varnish of the violin reflected back the light. But his lustreless eyes seemed to absorb it. BY 1. Ule WILLIAMS. â€"â€"_â€"-â€"J think of diabolical that made me chuckling. It set my teeth on edge. it was in such a high register. The note, if such it could be called, lasted about six seconds. He paused for about the same length of time before repeating it. After the first unpleasant shock my feelings subsided into those of faintI lirritation as he continued to produce the note, punctuating it with evenly timed intervals. Then I laughed at him for the madman he was. What iharm could that do? i The minutes sped on. I had no idea ,of the time or how it passed. Then .I became aware that instead of the .monotonous repetition of the sound :having a soporific effect on me, it was riveting my attention all the time. lDuring the pauses I was restless. I ifollowed the rise of the note to the l climax. and after the crackle was over 11 felt a temporary Sense of relief. i He stood before me in the same position. His arms and fingers never seemed to tire, and never once didl ‘ his staring eyes blink. ' He must have repeated it many i hundred times before my exasperation, [began to getacute. Why could I not iget away from' this madman and his: A lstrange, disturbing noise? The pauses lappeared to be less lengthy, and as, :the Tibetan note commenced it would clutch something in my brain andl bear it up to impossible heights. It iwas a genuine relief when the crackle iwas over. ‘ “Quit fooling, madman,” I tried to lsay, but the gag in my mouth perâ€" imitted only a gurgle. The man before me continued un-l imoved. Again and again he drew the gbow across the strings, always pro- 'ducing the same sound. I watched 'his arm now to tell when the sound was going to begin. I anticipated it, with dread. “Oh, for heaven’s sake, ,stop!” I tried futilely to say. “It’s 'unnerving.” But he never stopped. Slowly, subtly, I believed he hadl reduced the pause until there was no more of it. But, no, according to my} eyes his arm still continued to rest‘ the six seconds. My brain then was repeating the note to itself in the ,brief silence, like an echo. Would his iarm never tire? Would he never cease?
