our lost treat.
"a nice compensation, laughed she,
chcerily, 'but will gladly sing, for the
piano is rarely TO be had, and there are
always so many strange people in the
salon"
So without further urging she sang
one song after another. Without any
effort the magnificent tones came from
her youthful breast, without deepening
the color in her fresh cheeks. Finally
the countess thought she had sung
enough.
"0nly one more song; II Is quite short,
little aunt" said Ellen; then came the
soft, melancholy music. II was Chop

he had turned pale 10 his lips upon

evidently striving for composure.
The last tone died away; l rose, so
that, stepping before Lapotin, he might
have time 10 collect himself.
When I turned around he had left the
room. Immediately afterwards the
countess and Ellen withdrew.

lady looked serious and thoughtful.
"You IRE Lapotin's friend" she be-

q warm interest which he seldom shows.
When he came in with you to-day he
seemed happier than had ever seen
him, and was very much pleased. You
have now seen how quickly his mood

greatly; he Is III, Ill In mind and body;
but he tries with all his might to CON

"Ah, sirsl" said she, her blue eyes

The clergyman, who understood
French very imperfectly, raised his hat
politely and the happy pair disap-
peared
Lapotin and / looked at each other.
Suddenly my friend broke out into q
hearty laugh, such as had never heard
from him before.
"Come," said he, merrily, I'VE will
now give up the concert entirely.

to the drawing-room, which will be
empty to-day, and while away the time
over o cup Of Russian tea which Louis
makes from my special recipe. You
know one can talk better after having

As we drew near the salon the sounds
Of music greeted us. Lapotin made a
grimace.
"Music again." said he despondently;
"Kismet-no one can escape his fate"
Just then a young, pure voice rang
out. We stood as If rooted to the spot
before the half-open door. The invis-
ible songstress sang the Farewell song
from the "Trumpeter of Sekkingen,"
and the refrain sounded wonderfully
touching and beautiful:

At the close, we entered the room,

Ellen, In delightfully."- unconscious at

played the accompaniment so firmly,

Her only audience consisted of Count

Rennert who gazed at her favorite with
beaming eyes, and Mr.. White, who was
expressing delightto the singer enthu-
siastically, while she, with her childish
blue eyes raised TO his, listened with
happy smile.
Our appearance caused sensation.

explained that we could get no seats,
