CONQUERED HER RIVAL.
A Pretty and Pathetic story OF Jsnn,
Lind aud Grisi.


We have recently read a beautiful
Incident. Jenny Lind and Grisi were
both rivals FOR popular favor I'm Lon
don Both were invited 10 sing the
same night at n court concern before
the queen. Jenny Lind. being the
younger. sang FIRST and was 50 dis-
turbsd by the fierce. scornful look of
Grisi that she was at the point Of
failure when suddenly an inspiration
came 20 her.
The accompanlst was striking the
anal chords She asked him 20 rise
and took the vacant seat Her fingers
wandered over the keys in a loving
prelude. and then she sang n little
prayer which she had loved as a child.
She hadn't sung Il for years. As she
sang she was no longer In the pres
ence of royalty. but singing 20 loving
friends In her fatherland.
Softly at FIRST the plaintive notes
foated on the air. swelling louder aud
richer every moment The singer
seemed 90 throw her whole soul Into
that weird. thrilling. plaintive pray
err" Gradually the song died away
and ended In sob There was a n.
lence-the silence Of admlring wonder.
The audience sat spellbound. Jenny
Lind lifted her sweet eyes 10 look into
the scornful face that had so discou'
certed her. There was no Herce ex'
preston now; instead a teardrop glis-
tened on the long, black lashes. and
after a moment with the inpulslve-
ness OF a child OF the tropics, GrisI
crossed TO Jenny Llnd's side. placed
her arm about her and kissed her,
