Tho occasion was one of the semimusio.
al Sunday evenings which we all know
we'll. Mrs. Dash had attended from gen.
uino love for the hostess, but young Mr..
Herbert Dash her son, WAS there only out
of flial respect and an ardent desire to
please his mamma.
The host was musical devotce but
made tho unfortunate and familiar mis-
take of overrating his own Voice and its
power to please.
Young Nj. Dash had dono all that the
strictest adhcrent to good form could ask.
He had listened, and he had applauded I'M
til finally, finding himself tete-a tote on
tho sofa with charming Miss Blank, he
yielded to natural impulses and listened to
the music OF her voice rather than to that
which camo from tho piano. In his own
mind ho had become convinced that in
truth virtue is its own reward. His con.
seriousness of duty we'll done had per-
vaded his very soul Satisfaction beamed
from his eyes. Miss Blanks power of rap
artco kept him constantly on tho abort.
Ho dearly loved Il convOrsationalist who
was witty in an honest, wholesome way.
In their secluded corner ho felt no remoi SO
at enjoying the good things the gods had
sent. Tho group about the piano ~ero not
disturbed and the semiconfldential atti-
tudo consequent upon tho subdued tones
lont an additional charm. Ali was peace
full as summers dream.
Suddenly there was lull. Tho voice at
the piano ceased.
Those near by murmurod their applause.
Mr., Dash looked up, paused a moment in
his chat, clappcd in the subdued fashion
appropriate to Sunday night, and oxclaim-
ed: "Charmingl Excelientl My dear sir,
could you not give us tho second vorsoy'
Instead Of tho expected eager response
nnd tho consequent renewal Of the music,
under cover OF which tho condolences might
also be renewed, silence fell upon tho en-
tire group Presently 4 voice arose, "Hor.

Lords Prayer. "-Ncw York Herald.
