By BELLE MANIATES
m\8$£«pvn\iht. ISOU, by BeUe Maniates
Edith Wilmot looked into the open
fire, whose soft glow intensified her
clear cut features and softened the
meditative restraint her beautiful
eyes. It was the night of her return
home after an enforced absence abroad
of six years, which time had been de
voted to the care of an invalid father.
Since his death had occurred, two years
before, she had aimlessly traveled and
visited, until now she had decided to
open her old home, so long closed.
On Arnold Graves, organist of St.
Paul's and teacher of piano, her young
girlish fancy had centered its dreams.
The two hours spent weekly under his
tutelage before she had gone abroad
had been very happy ones to her. She
had met her teacher of music socially,
and their friendship had been fast
merging into a closer relation when
fate had intervened in the shape of the
family physician, who had ordered Mr.
Wilmot to Switzerland, where their so
journ had been piolonged beyond their
original plans.
Edith had carried on a spasmodic
correspondence with Arnold Graves
but, owing to his sensitiveness, her nat
ural restraint and the lack of propin
quity, their relations had not changed.
Constantly on her journey home had
come the question to her mind whether
he would find in the woman of twenty
six what had seemed to please him in
the girl ot twenty She had written to
him en route and asked him to call
that evening. He had done so, and
now, after his departure, she sat before
the fire musing on their meeting.
She had in these years sometimes
feared lest her girlish inexperience had
read him wrong and invested him with
qualities that lived only in her own
fancy She thought she would almost
prefer not to meet him again than to
suffer the loss of her illusions. But
now her broadened nature and wider
experience found him to be all she had
thought him—and more. She knew, too,
that her youthtul feeling for him had
quickly and suddenly become some
thing else—something that was stron
ger for its Ion? duration She never
had felt quite sure of the place she oc
cupied in his thoughts and feelings,
but tonight she had seen a strange
light in his eyes when he looked at
her. Perchance the expression had
been there in the days long ago and
she had been too ignorant to translate
it.
She had puisued her musical studies
while abroad, and Arnold had asked
her to come to his studio the next
morning and play to him. She went
at the appointed hour, and after play
ing a few selections there suddenly en
tered a moj»t beautiful young girl.
"Miss Wilmot," introduced Graves
"let me present my ward and pupil.
Miss Beth Forbes I want you to heai
her sing," he explained to Edith.
Then, turning to the girl, he asked
her to go into the adjoining room and
look for a certain aria.
He had written casually of a distant
cousin who had been left to his guard
ianship, but she had supposed his ward
to be a mere child. Beth returned with
the music So charmingly did she ren
der the a a that Edith felt her heart
going out to her, though with conflict
ing sensations Riding home she sank
listlessly back in the carriage with a
dull throb of pain her heart. She
passed a most wretched day, tull of
sharpened doubts It seemed to her
that Beth lacked no charm and that no
man could withstand such loveliness
Arnold's ruling passion was music, and
he must love the girl for her voice
alone
She wondered if Beth cared for him
She had seen nothing in the girl's man
ner to indicate that she had anything
more than an ordinary affection of a
pupil for her teacher, but then she was
young, and her innocent heart had
probably not yet awakened. Edith
found herself consumed with an in
tense curiosity to know more of Ar
nold's young protegee. Yielding to a
sudden impulse, she sent Beth a note
asking her to spend the following day
with her.
Beth accepted eagerly, and, flattered
by having aroused the interest of an
older, more accomplished woman, she
was responsive the highest degree
to Edith's advances
In discussing a popular novel Beth
naively asserted that the woman did
not love the man.
"What do you know about love,
Beth?" demanded Edith
"Nothing only from looking on. Ar
nold says that when I sing love songs
I tear passion to tatters and that I
never can express the song of the heart
until I have been in love."
"They say a pupil never learns to
sing until she falls in love with her
teacher. Mr. Graves has taught you
to sing, hasn't he?"
"Yes he understands voice training.
But I'll never learn to sing love songs
if I have to fall in love with him first!"
"Do you think him so impossible*
then?"
"For me, yes! Arnold doesn't think
of me as a person with an individuali
ty. To him I am a voice. If I couldn't
sing I'd be devoid of interest in his
eyes. regards me as a scientist does
his specimens."
She paused for a reply. Receiving
none, she continued:
"Did you ever hear any of his music
al compositions?"
"Yes. They are exquisite."
"They have all been dainty, simple
little numbers, but his last work is far
different. It is classical."
"Ha it been published?"
"Not yet. has just finisEecI I IT!
tell you what we'll do. He is coming
for me tonight, you know. When we
are driving this afternoon we'll stop at
the house and get the score. I know
where it is."
In the evening when Arnold came
Beth told him that she had the manu
script of his music
"I am not in the mood to play it to
night," he said, hesitating.
"You are not to play it," interposed
Beth. "I have heard it in all its differ
ent stages of composition, and I have
at my fingers' ends."
She seated herself at the piano and
commenced playing. She was not an
artist in the rendering of instrumental
music, but she had great power of ex
pression and a wonderful faculty of in
terpreting the composer's thoughts.
There was a power and strength in
the opening bars which melted into a
brilliant vivacity ot execution and then
finally glided into &oft, reflective minor
strains. Prom this was evoked a phan
tasmagoria of all the human passions.
Dark, fierce, turbid dreams, an impas
sioned recitative, a thrilling tragedy, a
graceful, insinuating subtlety of
thought, a Song of peace, joy, so
all were expressed in the tenderness of
melody refined and subdued. The theme
was noble, the composition strong, the
emotion genuine and the intensity dra
matic.
The grandeur of the work was soft
ened and made human by an exquisite
ly beautiful strain that from a back
ground of sustained harmony ever oc
curred.
When the last note died away there
was a momentary silence like that
which follows a benediction. Edith's
face was ablaze with passion
"The music divine," she said in a low
tone.
Arnold rose and crossed the room
his face pale with excitement and agi
tation.
"Tell me," he said to Edith, and
there was something in his voice tha*
made her heart beat quickly, "what
you think of it." -r Jg
ti
"It is hard to dissect such music as
that," she replied softly. "There was
a color tone in every note. I felt as
if I were in a vast garden of flowers,
overcome by a thousand scents.
Arnold looked at her curiously
"I did not know," he said, "that you
were poetic or imaginative, nor did I
dream," turning to Beth, "that your
fingers could be so expressive."
)(i
"I have sat in the dark many a time
listening to you as you played it," she
said "I could have played it from
memory without the notes. It is Ar
nold himself," she murmured in an
aside to Edith, •'Arnold as he lets no
one see him. He composed it in bro
ken fragments, one day a snatch of
gay melody, then a weird little cadenza
or a dainty gavot, according to his
mood, but always he played a most
beautiful little melody that seemed to
be ever with him. The 'song of the
heart, mcLt wahr* Then he blended
all these compositions so skillfully
that a beautiful and complete harmony
resulted
"Beth," laughed Arnold, "you are a
very precocious child!"
The precocious child gave further
evidence of her claim to the appella
tion by asserting that the music had
its charms when heard at a distance in
the dark
"If you and Edith will letn to the
little reading room I will play it again
and convince jrou I am right," she
said.
They acted upon her suggestion, and
Beth again rendered the passionate
music, smiling softly to herself. T*
"I fancy this time," she mused, "that
Miss Wilmot will imagine herself in
a garden of love instead of a garden
of flowers."
When she had finished the composi
tion her hands wandered idly over the
keys in fragments of melody.
When they entered the music room
Beth looked up quickly, and then, with
a mischievous laugh, burst into a
grand, triumphant wedding march.
There was a half whimsical, wholly
loving expression in Edith's eyes as
she kissed the young girl.
"You are a dear girl!" she murmured.
"And a good guesser?" she queried.
"Such a good guesser, Beth, that you
shall sing at our wedding!"
The Tramp That Had to Take Water.
A locomotive when taking water
from a track tank looks as if it was go
ing through a river. The water is dash
ed into spray and flies out on either
side like the waves before a fast boat.
Trainmen tell the story of a tramp who
stole a ride on the front or "dead" end
platform of the baggage car of a fast
train. This car was coupled to the rear
end of the engine tender It was quite
a long run, without stops, and the en
gine took water from a track tank on
the way. When the tram stopped the
tramp was discovered prone on the
platform of the baggage car, half
drowned from the water thrown back
when the engine took its drink on the
run
"Here, get off!" growled the brake
man. "Wha are you doing there?"
"All right, boss," sputtered the
tramp. "Say," he asked after a mo
ment, "what was that river we went
through awhile ago?"—From "Stories
of Inventors." by Russell Doubleday.
Swords of London.
There are four swords belonging to

the sword which used to be surren

and when she came within the pre
cincts of the corporation) the pearl
sword, from the nature of its orna

mayor on all occasions of ceremony or
festivity a sword placed at the cen

in Lent, on days of public fast and on
the death of any of the royal family.

When Love
Hesitated
By DOROTHY DOUGLAS
Copyright, 190U, by T. C. McClure
Jim Ferris, stroke on the Yale crew,
twined his long brown legs tight
around the post of the South Beach
lookout and pulled his yellow duck hat
viciously over his eyes. Then he shoved
it back again and stared straight out
to sea.
It had been a direct cut, and he
hadn't expected it of her He wished
that some foolhardy swimmer would
go out beyond his depth or be seized
with a cramp, so that he might go out
after him and battle for life among the
breakers, but instead it proved to be
an aggravatingly dull day. The sea
was smooth as glass, yet the bathers
clung tenaciously to the ropes.
He had always looked upon the self
supporting men at college as fellows to
be envied. They were always doing
things. It took mettle, it took nerve,
the sort of nerve he had felt the need
of that very morning when he had

looked down to meet the eyes of Nell
Standish changing from amazement to
a certain contempt which he could not
understand.
Before her coming it had been a mer
ry morning. Small boys had chased
him joyously down the beach, and
pretty girls and flirtatious young ma
trons had cast him approving glances.
He had felt that the wages of a private
life saver near a fashionable bathing
pavilion were doubly paid, but now—
The tide came booming in and drove
the bathers out of the surf, lunch gongs
summoned dawdlers from the sand,
and Ferris slipped down from his post
and limped swiftly toward the bathing
house He had not realized till then
how tightly he had claspedv his legs
around the post His position had been
an outward and visible sign of the in
ward but not spiritual storm that
raged. Yes, it was going to be a little
harder than he had thought Then he
Bquared his shoulders and threw up his
head proudly.
That afternoon he walked toward
the end of the island sacred to cot
tagers. The beach was deserted by all
save those who loved the sea for its
own sake and not for the dress parade
on" its board walk.* Suddenly there
sprang at him a French bulldog, whose
intentions were clearly of the most
friendly sort. Ofttimes had Ferris
been welcomed in the same fashion,
and he had a hard time keeping his
hands in his pockets as the dog tried
again and again to reach them and be
stow a welcoming caress.
Something was also familiar to him
in the slender, lme^n clad figure,
screened by the big pongee umbrella,
from whose side the dog had sprung at
sight of him That was why Ferris
deliberately climbed the next flight of
stairs leading to the board walk and
made a circle around the figure. The
dog stood at the foot of the steps, look
ing up at the man in a bewildered fash
ion, which clearly demanded an ex
planation. But it just happened that
the man was thinking moodily that the
explanation was due from the other
side, though of course he couldn't ex
plain this to a French bulldog.
Evidently she had thought the mat
ter over and repented of her rudeness,
for that night when they came face to
face in the hotel dining room she bow
ed to him, not with the old air of com
radeship, but with a forced politeness
that he felt almost as keenly as the
morning He bowed gravely and
crossed to his table, which was on the
far side of the large room. Half an
hour later he^was at the desk in the
office asking for his bill. It was im
possible that he should remain in the
lame house with her under the circum
itances. He had once thought— But
»ne may think' many times on an in
rome of seven thousand a year.
turned abruptly, climbed the
stairs and commenced to throw things
Into his trunk and grip. Then he sat
flown on the edge of the bed and laugh
ed at himself. It was all so absurd
and childish. This was a fine begin
ning for a chap who had his way to
make. was hauling down his col
ors at the first shot. She would guess
why he had left, and mere difference
of hotels could not prevent his meet
ing her,fea*The resort was small and

exclusive. You were forever stum
bling over the people you liked, let
alone the people you didn't like tc
meet.
So he emptied his trunk, hung, up
his garments and went down to tell
the clerk he had changed his mind. The
proprietor of the hotel happened to be
in the office, and he looked greatly re
lieved over Ferris' decision. In fact,
he had just been criticising his clerk
for not offering a reduction to Mr. Fer
ris if it had been merely a question ot
price. Young college men who could
swim and handle a sailboat and lead
a cotillon were not to be permitted to
leave his hotel without a strenuous ef
fort to prevent such a catastrophe.
And while this little comedy was be
ing enacted Nell Standish was walking
dutifully at her mother's side on the
ocean pathway, a picture of simplicity
in embroidered white linen amid the
elaborately gowned throng.
"It certainly seems odd," said Mrs.
Standish, with a puzzled expression.
Nell shrugged her shoulder impa
tiently.
"I the eccentricity of wealth, not of
genius. I used to hurt me when we
were in London to hear young men
criticised for their freakish tastes, but
really I am beginning to feel there is
some truth in the criticism. 1 pre

spite of her hot anger she couldn't for
get how superbly strong he had looked
perched on the observation tower in his
bathing suit. "He had the graee not to
wear his college colors, but I am amaz
ed that Jim Ferris should want to pose
before a lot of silly, chattering summer
resorters."
She spoke with as much scorn as if
she were not one of the class which she
was excoriating. The next morning
she carefully avoided the observation
post during bathing hours and sat OP
the other side of the pier. A certain
bull pup. however, did not share her
feeling and deliberately sneaked away
from his mistress and planted himself
at the foot of the little tower to dis
tract the attention of its occupant from
the bathers who were risking their
lives beyond the ropes.
As the days went by Ferris became
accustomed but not reconciled to her
presence at South Beach. might
have felt better if his life had been a
more active one, but the bathers were
distressingly careful. An occasional
dash after a frightened girl or the care i:

Her slim, firm hand was turning

mation, and both women turned and
looked at him. He felt himself flush

knew how curious he had felt about
their mail. was a beastly cad.
Suddenly the girl rose to her feet. She
was coming directly toward him, with
the French bulldog capering ahead.
The open letter was still her hand.
Suddenly from the crowd bobbing
shapelessly, aimlessly, in the white
capped surf there arose a cry. re
alized on the instant that it was no
small demand upon his ability and
strength. The man was some distance
beyond the ropes, and he went down
for the second time before Ferris,
swift runner that he was, could dash
into the surf. A mighty breaker met
the life saver, but he went through it
like an arrow and struck out for the
man, who was going down for the last
time. The sea was like glass out here,
and the man sank slowly. Ferris rec
ognized at a glance that it was a case
of cramps.
Ferris dived like a fish and came up
to fight for his own life as well as the
bather's. There was only one way for
it, and as he felt himself being dragged
down he struck the man a mighty blow
and then floated the inert body to the
beaeh, where the crowd of hysterical
women and children closed in upon
him. He forced them apart and carried
his silent burden up the beach. As he
passed the observation post he saw
Nell leaning against it, white to the
lips and still holding the fluttering
pages in her hand
That night her mother sent for him,
and right bravely Nell met him in
their little parlor. She gave him the
letter to read. It was the one her
brother had written telling of the
wreck of the Ferris fortune and Jim's
plucky determination to do the first
thing that offered, tutoring some boys
who were staying at South Beach.
He handed back the letter, with a
grave smile.
"Yes, it's true. I am tutoring the
Douglas boys at their father's cottage
on the lower beach, but I found I could
pay my board by taking the life saving
job, and I have to count even the pen
nies now, you know."
Nell looked up at him shyly, then her
eyes dropped before the blaze in his.
"I—I think I'd like to try my hand at

Then came an August morning when
the pongee parasol passed directly un
der his post. The firm, tanned hand
which showed beneath it clasped a
large package of letters. Evidently Miss
Standish's mail had been a heavy one.
She sat down on the sand within the
range of Ferris' vision and opened the
mail which, he could see quite plainly
now, had been forwarded from various
points.
