Helen's inspiration with regard to the
music proved to be a happy one. Beatrice
had of late practiced with more or less
regularity. Ever since the time when
Hobcrt Moynard's approaching call had
moved her to reopen her piano and re
sume her playing and singing, she had
found pleasure In the talent which she
had neglected for so long.
Robert hlmeclf, as he, listened tonight,,
appreciated that In the few weeks since
he had heard her sing for tho first time
sho had Improved greatly. She had not
brought with her to Helen's any of her
music, but she oould play many of her
accompaniments and sing most of her
hours without notes, And there were
certain compositions of which she was
iond am which she had played so often
for her own enjoyment that sho had no
difficulty In remembering them,
Bhe played several of those, then, urged
by her listeners to ring, consented. At
first thero was a llttlo tremble In her
voice, for sho was nervous before theso
friends who might also be critics, but
their genuine and generous, applause en
couraged her and una gained confidence,
Finally sho declared that the "knew
nothing more." Hut ns sho arose from
tho piano stool .Helen protested.
"Beatrice, dear," she pleaded, '"don't
jou remember how you used to sin?,
Could IT'B
Indeed Beatrice remembered. She also
remembered that Ifer husband had loved
tho song, but tonight, amid these sur
roundings, he and tho days when he had
been with her seemed very far 'f Yet
aha hesitated for a moment before an
swering. Thqn shejspoko softly.
"Yes, I remember. But I have not- sung
It In a long time,"
"But you can sljtg It without your notes,
an't you?" urxed Helen. Paul Maynard,
leaning on the piano, looked at tho musi
cian and Bmlled encouragingly.
"Please sing It!" ha murmured. "I used
tp love it myself when I was younger. '
He sighed even as he smiled, and Bea
trice wondered what experience ho was
recalling. She glanced at tho group by
tho fire. John Tlobblps was lolling In his
Kreut chair, his eyes closed, evidently
waiting for her to bogln. He always
listened to music better If his eyes wcr
hut, ho Insisted. Robert's hand 'shaded
Ills, face nn he sat before the blaze. Helen
was looking expectantly towards the
piano, while Henry Blanchard stood lean
ing against tho wall at the side of the
chimney, arms folded. The entlro com
pany seemed In a receptive mood, an4
Beatrice felt almost excited as she play?d
the prelude to the song. It was a mo
ment that seemed to predict a triumph
for her a moment when she felt that
for the next few minutes fcho could move
her hearers at will.
She began the song softly. The plain
tive air and pensive wordB were suited
to her .voice, upd the muac stirred her
strangely. It awoke 'dead and gone mem
ories, and a new pithos came Into her
tones, she was conscious that tho man
standing by her was listening Intently
and that h had forgotten the presence of
others besides himself and herself. Ills
nearness Impressed her us It hud not
dona before. Onco sho glanced swiftly at
his face and, saw a moved, wistful look
about the mouth that made her know
that her song or was It she? touched
Iilm strongly.
"But once!" the sweet air pleuded.
Hut once tp enter there when night Is
falling. ,
In the old, sweet way, Just coming at your
calling;
And, like an angel, bending down above
you,
To whisper In your ear "I love you! 1
love you!"
The sohblng refrain ceased, and, for a
moment, nobody moved. Then Helen
made a little sound between a laugh and
a sigh.
"Helgho!" she said. "Beatrice, dear, you
have made me want to cry, and yet I
love the feeling." Bhe tried to laugh,
and Robert Maynard turned to her and
spoke softly. But Beatrice, In the silence
of the room, caught his words. "That
.was ope of my wife's favorite songs,'' he
murmured.
John Bobbins sold nothing, but Henry
Blanchard remarked prosaically that he
believed It was "raining as hard us ever.'
As Beatrice noted Paul Maynard's sllonco
she lifted her eyes to his and found, him
gating at her with an expression that
thrilled her, For a half minute his eyes
held hers, then he smiled sadly.
"Thank you!" he raid, -so low that no
body but herself heard him.
Without a word the widow arose from
the piano stool and came toward the fire,
"H Is time I wm going home, Helen." she
Bald gently. Her voice and manner were
tiubdued. and Henry Blanchard noted It
"Now, sea here, he said briskly, "I be

''Oh, no!' gasped Helen. "Wo don't
want ragtime and nonsense after such a
treat as Beatrice has given us. Do we.

confirmation which bIio was sure would
oomo from him.
"No," said John, "we don't want any

Maynard sing 'Danny Deevnrv
"Not tonight!" declared Paul, closing
tho piano. with emphasis that betokened
determination. "Some other time, perhaps,
but not tonight."
Beatrfca turned toward him Impulsively,
"Why dldnt you tell .me you sang?" she
asked. "If I had known It I never would
have ventured to air my poor little volco
In your presence."
"I am very glad you did not know," he
returned, merrily, "for then we would
have missed a delightful hour."
The pensive mood was. over, and the
bustle of preparations for departure be
gan. "How are you going home," queried
Robert Maynard of Beatrice as aha came
downstairs cloaked and hooded for de
parture. "My brother .could havo brought
over his car. had he thought of your hav
ing no. conveyance. I don't d,oubt hfe can
even now telephone down to the Cedar
Cliff for It."
Beatrice paused Just before she reached
th power step and smiled down at the
man standing below her. "You're very
generous with your brother's car," she
teased.
"But you can't walk on a night like
this!" Insisted Robert.
"Certainly not,' sho answered coolly.
"I do not expect to."
Henry BIaneha.nl stepped flulckly for

But before Beatrice could reply Helen
laughed out merrily,
"My dear uncle!" she exclaimed. "Do
you suppose we think so little of thlf
girl as to let her walk anywhere in such
weather as this? John has Just gone for
tho horse. Hark, thero he Is now!" as tho
sound Of wheels : was heard.
All came out on the veranda to speed
the parting guest, but Henry Blanchard
kept close to her, As he fastened tho rub
ber apron on her side of tho carriage, he
Whispered a sentence meant for her ears
alone:
"I shall see you tomorrow," he said.
And tha widow, with a sinking of heart
wondered if the others, standing by, had
heard the sibilant utterance.

Gives Up Blood for Babie3 I
V J
An example of woman's sacrlflo was
unfolded In Baltimore, between the lines
of' matter-of-fact routine court work. The
arrest of Charles Leroy Brown brought
out the fact that several months' ago 1)0
derertcd his wife, leaving her to support
her twins, 7 years old. This she .sua
ceeded In doing until three months ago
when she was compelled to go to Johm
Hopkins' hospital, where another baby
was born, Then her money gave out.
WtiUa In the hospital Mrs, Browr
learned that blood was a valuable artlcli
In a hospital, so In order to obtain nione'
to pay the board of her twin chlldrer
Hho sold a quantity of her blood for JS
which she sent to the people who were
caring for her babies.
Hearing later that a patient In anotlie
Institute was In a serious condition am
that the only hope held out by the sur
geons was In transfusing soma health
Wood Into the patient's body, Mrs. Brow
offered to give more of her blood to sav
(V life.
The surgeons were at first chary o
risking Mr. Brown's health, by furthe:
loss of the vital fluid. But an examlna
tlon of her blood showed that It wa
healthy and a vein In her left wrist war
opened and the blood taken dut. Mrs
Brown stood the operation well and In t
few weeks was able to leave the lnstitu.

the case Is that Mrs. Brown weighs only

Another Is that Oovernor Wilson of
