musical Mackenzie, who could not de-
scribe her voice in technical language,
knew that this voice was marvellous
from the throat Of child. The volume
OF mature singer was OF course not
there, but her toIes were pure and
limpid and wonderfully correct. The
thing that most surprised him was what
his wife called the method of the

to him, though, that the little dash OF
gaiety she threw into it had been taught
her, too, and that this child herself had
never known what it was to te gay.

Harriet in a burst of admiration too sim

Her hostess smiled triumphantly; she
expected every one to envy her, took
that for granted. AS Mackenzie saw

Massey was practical man of bust

when his wife took them abroad for in

piled the funds. His natural reserve
grew more marked as the years went by
and he seemed SO obliterated even at his
own freside that Mckenzie sometimes
fancied he regretted having given prodi-
gies to the world.
Mrs. Massey turned to Harriet in an
excited whisper: Herman will only
sing the 'Serenade.' He selected that
because it caves his voice. The duet

The boy was the elder of the two; not

When the Mackenz:es arrived at the
Massey's door Mrs. Massey rushed past
the servant and met them herself.
"I'm 90 glad you've come Harriet,
dear. We we're Just about to begin and

with them. To the left, up stairs, Mr..
Mackenzie. Harriet, you know the
way their animated hostess dashed
off in search Of more worlds to conquer.
Mrs. Maseey's manner was always that
OF q conqueror fresh from the fray. She

ever that happened to be at the mo-

When the Mackenzies descended,
Kate met them with warning gesture
and usher ed them into the music room
where the other guests were seated
silently and expectantly. When they
were seated she herself sank into chair
with an air Of rapt and breathless an
ticipation.
The accompaplst took her seat and q
very pale, languid little girl came for
ward and stood beside the piano. She
looked to be about fourteen but was I'M
usually email for her age. She was a
singularly frail child with apparently al
most no physical reserve power, and
stood with slight natural stoop which
she quickly corrected as she caught her
mothers eye. Her great dark eyes
seemed even larger than they were by
reason of the dark circles under them.
She clasped her hands and waited until
the brief prelude was over. She seemed
not at all nervous, but very weary. Even
the spirited measures Of that most viva
cious OF arias could not wholly dispel
the listlessness from those eyes that
were 80 sad for child's face. As to the
