hardt swears that the cherubim and
seraphim aren't fit to hum an accom-
paniment when you are singing! Won't
you please come down and sing for him
just once? l tell you in the calmest
possible manner that Reinhardt would
be willing TO be burned alive the next
minute If you would sing the half of
one song for him-the shortest one ever
written"
II suppose that Is the way he ex-
pressed it," said Jane, with a smile. II

CANT language originates. don't be-
lleve that Mr.. Reinhardt is so enthusl-
astic"
Norton laid his hand upon his heart
solemnly, while his fine, dark eyes
shone with earnestness.

BILE and binding pledge ever uttered by
man or woman since the world began"
said he Il will vow to you by it that

she, laughing, "and l viii sing for. Mr.

Norton made n graceful exit, and the

down. In one minute you will see
what nature was trying TO do when
she made all the other beautiful wo-

Miss Lestrell Is the first perfect and
complete success"
81 am glad she win come" said the
blond young German gravely. "She
has a good voice, as It sounds through
the floor"
Probably Reinhardts absence of en-.
thuslasm, after Nortons superabun
dance. piqued Jane somewhat. She is
an obstinate girl, with a touch Of
vanity in her composition. Whatever
the cause, she determined to make
Reinhardt understand that she really
had a voice. So she went to bis studio
three times a week for many months
and worked like little slave, subsist
ing meanwhile on the proceeds of q
story or two and her own grit.
The result is well known in musical
circles. Jane Is fun fiedged prima
donna. and Relnhardt is the rage as o
teacher. And. incidentally, Mr.. Willis
Norton has found out what love is
the one thing in this universe that
too big even for his powers of exag

certain, but IL protestatlons OF devo
tion can win a woman Norton can

-"wellf. asked the anxious husband
after they had lit their cigars.
"Oh, there is nothing serious said
the young doctor, with q wise look.
Her nerves are certainly strung to
high pitch, and | should say that her
liver is affected somewhat. She prob
ably worried at being left alone while
you were away. and that wore on her"
But what do you suggesty asked
the husband. Are you going to pre-
scribe for herr"
Not medicines. She doesn't realize
that there is anything the matter with
her, and II ordered drugs II would
only tend TO make her worse, for, after
all, there is something in the conten-
tion of the mental scientists that people
are sick when they think they are. 1t
Is particularly true of people of a nerv-
Gus temperament. On the other hand,
the fact that she does not realize her
condition is dangerous, for she might
go on thinking herself quite well until
something really serious developed"
But what can we do?" asked Kenly,
now thoroughly alarmed.
well. think change Of scene and
lively company, with complete rest,
would fix her up all right In n few
weeks, and that would be cure she
could take without knowing anything
about 1t except that she was having a
good time"
"But l am afraid can't get away
with her just now"
"0f course you can't, but she could
go to the seaside somewhere near by,
and you could spend your Sundays
with her, or she could go to the noun
tains"
That's so. I'll suggest it to her to-
night, for she seems to be In better
mood than she has been Of late"
YES" said the doctor, that is one
Of the strongest signs OF her disordered
condition. She seesaws from detection
to elation, and tonight she is up. The
necessity of playing the hostess lifted
her, and, like all people whose nerves
are affected. she drew too heavily on
her resources. and for that reason was
unnaturally bright"
BY the time the conversation had
ended Kenly was thoroughly alarmed,
and he noticed with fear the liveliness
of his wife when they returned TO the
parlor and she played and sang for
them. Not wishing to let her exhaust
herself the doctor left early.
They were silent for a few minutes
after his departure, and Kenly noticed
that the animation died from his wife's
face and that she had returned TO the
mood that had alarmed him. But that
only spurred him on to do what he con-
siGered his duty.

began. that you should really go away
somewhere for a rest Lots OF people
are going away for their holidays just
now, and though can't go yet / could

you"
"a rest" che exclaimed with unsus-
pected energy. "Who told you l was
tiredY'
"oh, don't exactly mean a rest, but
a holiday, a good time"
81 must say you are getting very
thoughtful-of late"
He affected not TO notice the ironical
intonation of her remark and proceed
ed:
Then you will so, won't you? Which
would you prefer, the seaside or the
mountainsT"
Instead of replying she walked up to
him and, looking into his face with
blazing eyes said SLOWLY but intensely:
