always Just before the choir begins singing Then be shoots his piercing glance in and out among the singers as if be to discover something Probably he is trying to find some singer loafing on the job and I im- agine that in such a case he would climb right over the piano and snatch him by tbe head To Moody a man keeping his mouth shut when he knows how to sing is a criminal WILL CLOSE NEXT
