Mount Holly looked out TO see what
was the matter, and | had glimpse of
| him standing in the doorway round
! eyed with establishment.
AS for Heinrich, he was serenely &C.
static. His eyes shone, he gained two
! inches in stature, and when he turned,
after the second rendition Of the sere-
made, to thank his subordinates for
their aid in winning this triumph | saw
him wiping away tears with the hand
kerchief that had been folded against
the end of his fiddle.
This is very nice to see" said the
lady who sat at my right, but suspect
that it will be the ruin of your friend.
He will want this always and will never
have it again"
When the next piece was finished, we
were getting ready TO go and forgot to
applaud. | thought of it too late and
looked at Heinrich. To my surprise he
seemed even better pleased than be-
fore"
1t must have been about two weeks
later that | met him one forenoon upon
the steps of the doctors house. He was
obviously much improved in health. At
sight of me he started and then flushed
with pleasure as greeted him by name
/ and thanked him for the Till serenade.
You gave US the first applause we
! had had" he SAID. Il was almost de-
spairing, though | told no one. the
doctor even goes so far as to say that it
was affecting my health, and, indeed,
| the artist needs some little encourage
ment. Is it not so?'
AS | was trying to frame a reply, he
continued:
But II he does not get it that is his
fault 1t is because he does not attain
the proper standard | was beginning
to lose sight of that truth. | said to
myself: The conditions are not favor
able-the noise and all that. 1t is
= ruinous to get that idea. One can al
ways succeed If he will deserve it.
Il think it was your attentive atti-
tude that inspired us. We played the
serenade well. We won applause. We
| have had none since, but we are per
fectly satisfied. When we merit it we
shall get it, and if it takes us ten years
we shall work on contentedly.
'Do you know, | was almost afraid
on that evening that you were going to
applaud the second piece-which we
murdered. 1t had been insufhciently
rehearsed. We do it better now. II you
had applauded. it would have spoiled
all. But no, you were too good a musi-
clan, for of course it was you who led
the audience. There is always some
critical spirit to do that | am not al
ways fortunate enough to catch his eye,
but he is there. | shall never doubt
that"
Goodbye" he added cheerily. q
hope you will soon come to the Mount
! Holly again"
I lied, saying that I would. But l
shall not dare I might applaud in the
wrong place and kill the artistic faith
which it was my great good luck to re-
vive in Heinrich's breast.

breaking ef q wheel, IL is said, caused

this. owing to the long detention by the

was a general rush for eating places on
the arrival Of the train.
The express train was also delayed
some time, not arriving until just a
short time before the excursion train.
The accident was one impossible TO
foresse. and while the delay was an

eeuld nsf be blamed for the occur
renee. Fortunately no one was injured
as we are informed. Flagmen were at
