said the old musician.
It was only natural that she should learn to under
stand Chopin better than others, for the Pole, who
notv became her teacher, played the magic melodies
cf the master as only Poles or Slavs can play them.
He eang Chopin's bor.p.s, too, with their glowing
accents. Then Marcelline would .«!t in a corner,

she h^.i heard her protector play. Then a nmile

would seek her hair and cheeka In a caress. Grad

the graceful little figure appeared on hla throshola.
Boon he thought that he could not live without her.
nnd a few years passed by as a dream. His little
Christmas tree grew larger, stronger, lovelier. Then
earn' ■ time when the old musician awoke to the
fuct that it was beyond his power systematically
longer to direct Mareeliln»'a studies. A struggle
began to rnge within him. but the warmer the love
within him the clearer was his recognition of her
tilts an. l the stronger Vis conviction that she must
have ..:i..ther master.
"You must lcaru more than I can teach you or
you will not s^t along In tho world." Bald he one
day with a deep slßh. "1 shall take you to another
teacher. You've got to learn more and different
niunic than such a bungler us I have been playing
fur you."
"Learn more than you know? Oh, If I could
only play like J'ou! And different music? Don't I
knew Chopin?" and two childish amis were Hunt;

"I3ut, my child, there are other musicians In the

youthful Professor Stengel ar<-< pted her aa a piano

Singular! In a few years the young master had
the :-..i/.<j experience as the old. He, too, aaw the
necessity of placing the wonderful talent growing
epaee In the care of a master of the highest rank;
he ; ■• rcelved that the young {;:''' was destined to
walk the loftiest iinths of art. His mind was mnde
up "Bhe must become the r>ur>!l of the t;re:itof;t
living: genius; I'll t«k<> her to Liszt, Bui before
then my friend Epstein in Vienna shall he:ir her
and decide." Did not the prospective parting give
proater rain to the young master than the old?
who shall say? Thus came the day when a still
r?.le. Blender maiden, modestly parbed, stood in
the examination room of the Vienna authority, ac
companied by her teacher and her mother. An
other moment and the little hands rested on the
Ivory keys; a last trustful look into the eyes of her
faithful young <"'■; nd. an I Marcelline played with
bontiriK hep.it. More and more intense became the In
terest of him who was Bitting in judgment; here was
a singularly original performance, aatttrated with
-. thru! enthusiasm. Of a certainty, Master Liszt
would rejoice In such n. pupil. Yet if he should err?
Would that Joseph Joachim could hear her play
w.i" his wish when next she daringly, firmly and
m isterfully drew the bow across the violin stHritrs.
Might not" her real talent lie In this direction?

"I think She has a voice worth cultivating," Mid

voice was fresh nnd pure as a bird's."
"If that's not the least of her rare Ktftn she's a
wonder and no mistake. Uut sing. We'll all lis
ten."
And Mr.rcPlline pat herself down again nt the
pianoforte und sang; i Polish harvest song that
chanced to float Into her mind.
"My child." said the learned musician when the
last Indescribably sweet anil golden tone bad died
away, "there's no use of our racking our brains
touching your future any longer. Your wreath is
woven of Bowers and dew. You shall become v.
singer. Pity that Mozart can't hear you. He'd
compose another 'Magic Flute' for you alone!

fragile Cinderella, the joy-bringing Christmas tree
of erratic old Johann Bad wan yon Junowitz. has
grown into a queen of bel canto. She is not known
by- the name of Praxeda Marcelline Kochanska.,
but the world calls her Marcella Sembrich.
Good fortune she has brought to — her old pro
tector was a truu prophet. All the world knows
how enchanting is her art; but only a few know
how untiringly she once studied nnd still studies.
Fewer still know her in her home, know her sweet
a: .: r-imp'e domesticity. Is she not the happy con-
