VIVIAN’S
AWAKENING
By EDGAR FAWCETT
(Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.)
His family were what one ' could
safely call very plain people. They
lived in a little house, rather far to
the westward, and in a street that
* cut through the heart of Harlem. His
father had married rather late In
life, and his mother likewise; so that
now, when their youngest child, Viv
ian, was a full-fledged young man, they
both had the air and iook of elderly
persons.
But to glance at their beloved Viv
ian, always gave them a gladsome and
youthful thrill. Mr. Firth was -one of
thoso many mortals who strive stur
dily yet end by partial failure. Now
past 50, he was still a clerk. But his
employers, who were prosperous and
prominent New York bankers, trusted
him implicitly, and gave him a salary
about half as large as his keen and
shrewd services deserved. Still, they
had blandly promised Firth that ’‘some
day” they would “make an opening”
for his son, and this airy sort of agree
ment had filled their listener with
hopeful cheer.
“Only,” one of them had said, “It
seems a little —er extravagant,
doesn’t it, for you to send him to col
lege like this for four years?”
Firth thought It “extravagant,” too,
but he rejoiced In his power to be
stow on the dear boy collegiate train
ing. Afterward there would be the
“position” at Balnbridge Brothers.
Vivian had two elder sisters, Ann
and Jane, very nearly of an age, who
worshiped him.
And Vivian? He took their homage
quite for granted, as he did that of
his parents. He had, Indeed, al
ways taken for granted all the fam
ily affection showered upon him. He
was amiable to his relatives, but pas
sively so. The smoke of their incense
kept constantly ascending to his nos
trils, and he sniffed It with the sweet
est of smiles. But he sniffed it quite
as a matter of course.
At a convivial meeting of his fel
low-classmates, during his sophomore
year, Vivian sang a song—one of the
pretty, current ballads of the day.
“By Jove,” said Stuyvesant Har
rowe, clapping him cordially on the
shoulder, when the song was ended,
“you can sing about as well as you
can play football, and that’s putting
It rather strong, considering how you
helped our side of the game out last
Saturday.”
Vivlau blushed a little and his
brown eyes sparkled. StuyyeglMHar
rowe was one of the aristocrats or I£e
college, petted and flattered for his
parents’ wealth and place—and per
haps for popular personal reasons as
well.
Till then Vivian had been a nobody
at oollece. But soon, as the chosen
“chum” of Harrowe, he became a
member of the most select secret fra-1
ternity and counted his friends by
the dozens. Harrowe presented him
to his family, who beamed on him
with great politeness. Ethel Har
rowe was Stuyvesant’s only grown-up
sister, a tall, blonde girl, with light
asure eyes.
Ethel Harrowe was very gracious to
him, and bade her parents, who lov
ingly obeyed her least caprice, regard
him as a genius of song. He became,
as It were, the girl’s protege.
By dint of straining and pinching In
certain household ways, and of an in
dividual self-denial practiced with fur
tive gladness by each of his Idolizing
relatives, Vivian was enabled to be
gin lessons under the same teacher
who had lined the silvery do-re-mi-fas
from Ethel Harrowe's blooming lips.
Signor Boldinl now taught him free
of charge. He had made friends with
the Italian, as he made friends with
nearly everybody with whom he came
In contact. Meanwhile the professor
had grown privately yet sadly amused
by his pupil’s enormous self-reliance.
“I somehow suspect. Signor Bol
dlni,” said Ethel to him one day,
“that you have now no real belief in
Vivian Firth’s voice.”
“You must not even fancy It!" was
the first shocked response.
But soon, by adroit questionings,
Ethel drew from her teacher this con
fession :
“it has disappointed me. He sings
with admirable style; he has acquired
a delightful grace and finish. But,
frankly, I can teach him nothing more.
It would be like overloading with em
broidery some flimsy fabric. His voice
Is all charm and sweetness and capti
vation. But it has no depth, no vol
ume. I see now what I totally missed
seeing before. He can sing for the
drawing room only.”
“And with such charm!" sighed
Ethel. Then, In accents of reminding
earnestness she pursued: "But he has
made up his mind to sing in public.”
“I know—l know. At Steinway hall.
I shall bo there; three or four of our
best musical artists will lend him
their aid. Hia legion of admirers will
purchase seats. He will make two
thousand dollars, very likely. But ah,
Miss Ethel —afterward! ”
“You prophesy failure, then?"
“Walt and see.”
A few weeks later the concert oc
curred. Steinway hall was packed
with all the patricians and plutocrats,
all the grandees and potentates.
Never was failure more absolute.
Even poor Ann and Jane felt it and
Hutched one another's hands. His
mother turned white and gnawed her
lips. To everybody the disillusion
was terrible. The plaudits, when he
retired, were worse than hisses,
they were the fictitious eucouiu •
ments of disappointed and compassion
ating friends.
Next day the newspapers teemed
with irony and contempt. On the af
ternoon of this day he entered the fa
miliar apartments where Ethel Har
rowe had bo often welcomed him.
“I wanted to write you,” she said,
giving him her hand, ‘‘but I thought
you might come;” then tears made
tender those blue eyes that could be
so haughty when they willed. "I—l'm
very sorry! You have suffered terri
bly; I can see It in your face.”
“I have been terribly shocked,” he
answered, and something In his tones
gave her a start of surprise. “The
iwakenlng had to come, and better it
should come swift and sharp, like
this.”
“The awakening?”
“Not so much to the knowledge that
lam only a parlor tenor, only a
spoiled young musical coxcomb —”
“No, no! You must not say that. It
isn’t true, and 1 can’t bear to hear it.”
“But there’s been another awaken
ing,” he went on. “I* mean to ’ the
realization of my horrid selfishness.
There are my mother and my father
and my two sisters —how have I be
haved to them for five or six years
past? Like an egotistic simpleton
Worse —like an ungrateful wretch!
They would all four have died for me;
I kept living on with an indifference
to their devotion that was dastardly!”
“And so,” Ethel said, after a little
pause, “it has all affected you in this
fashion?”
“Not wholly;” he paused, then add
ed with precipitation: “For I wanted
fame as a great singer. I wanted it
chiefly because I love you, and knew
that if I asked you to be my wife
when I had grown renowned, there
might be a far stronger chance of your
saying 'yes’!”
In the silence that ensued Ethel
first drooped her eyes, then raised
them. Her cheeks burned with an un
wonted rose as she said:
“There would have been no chance
at all if you had won ‘fame as a great
Certain of Just What She Had More
Than “Hinted.”
singer’! Not that I would have refuseu
from any silly reasons of caste, snob
bery, prejudice against the stage as a
profession and all that. There’s
enough of the independent ‘new wo
man* in me to render such objections
null. But your very celebrity would
have been my bane —my jealous bane
—I confess It. No, I prefer you as
you are—as an artistic failure, If you
please to admit yourself one, as a
plain, uncrowned, undecoratcd, un
medaled individual like myself,” and
here she stopped dead short, crim
soning.
“Ethel!” he cried, hurrying up to
her, “you don’t —you can’t even
hint—”
But in another minute he was cer
tain of just what she indeed had more
than “hinted.”
Their wedding was an entirely con
ventional one and very handsome and
festal likewise. And though Ethel’s
parent* grumbled and growled not a
little at the engagement, her brother
Stuyvesant proved Vivian’s loyal
friend, and overruled every shadow of
family opposition —which, by the way,
Ethel herself would have, coolly over
ruled like a true tyrannical American
daughter, without her brother’s gen
erous and genial aid.
And the Firths—heaven bless them!
—were in transports of happiness. For
Joys, like troubles, in battalions come,
and soon after the announcement of
Vivian’s betrothal, Messrs. Bainbridge
Brothers perceived that John Firth’s
long and valued services were worthy
of more substantial reward, and actu
ally offered him a partnership in their
respected firm at a low yet apprecia
ble profit.
“Still,” said Firth to his wife and
daughters, “Vivian’s just told me that
he soon intends to take that clerkship
if they’ll give it to him.”
Ann tossed her head. “He must
have been dreaming!"
“He couldn’t have meant it!” ex
claimed Jane.
“Why, of course not!” bristled their
mother.
But Vivian had meant It.
“Let us see if I’m not made of bet
ter stuff,” he Bald, one day at home,
“than to play Idle pensioner on my fu
ture wife’s income. In a sense not
lyric or dramatic or romantic —in a
sense prosaic and rather commonplace,
perhaps—but always, I hope, in a
sense high-minded and honorable and
ungrasping, I should like to make my
‘voice’ —your Vivian's voice, that you
have bo foolishly, so fondly, so un
deservedly belauded—heard hereaf
ter!”
