the subject of her wager. For the first
time her carefully shaTpened arrows had
failed to hit the destined mark; and al.
though her heart was not interested, her
pride was, and she determined anew upon
conquest. But with Fay the wager had

with the keys. Had her brain invoked
the melody which followed, or was it the
spirit of the past?
She had not played that air since she
had left the little parlor at the parson
