A CASE OF LUCK.

Good Paying Position.

Good Paying Position.
Little Mrs. Tyler sighed as the troll
ley car whizzed past her.
"To think" she unused, that should
have come to this-too poor to spend
cents for car fare! If could only
get more music scholars! Then Bob
could have the beefsteak and the fruit
he needs-dear, patient Robertr'
Time was when Frederick Fechner's
piano playing had won her many So
cial triumph, but that was before she
had married the penniless Robert Ty-
Ter, to begin life anew across the con-
tinent. Now that he was sick they had
only the pittance her pupils brought
her.
Today Mrs. Tyler was very tired.
No wonder she had sighed when the
car had glided past her, and home was
mile away. Strains of Handel's liar
monious Blacksmith" drew her inside
q music store. Music always rested
her. A girl was playing upon a grand
piano, and several persons stood about.
Mrs. Tyler strolled their way.
One after another took turn at the
instrument. The newcomer was too
interested in the playing to question
wherefore. Finally man approached
her.
ut is your turn next he said.
She was about to explain his mis-
take when the humor Of the situation
appealed to her, and she was seized
with desire to carry out the joke. Ac-
cordingly she took her seat and began
Paderewski's Love Song" She did
not know for what she was playing,
but she vaguely felt that it was test
OF some sort, and she threw her soul
into her fingers. When she ended there
was little burst of applause, and
something else" was called for. She
responded with LISTS sSchubert's Ser
enade" and then with Chopin's Cradle
Song"
A sheet of music was placed before
her, and lady came forward to sing.
If there was one thing In which Mrs.
Tyler excelled 1t was in accompani-
ments, and now she did her best. The
face Of the man who had invited her
to play was one broad smile as he In
quired deferentially:
May ask whom we have had the
honor of hearing? You have distanced
them ALL my dear madam. The place
is easily yours
Mrs. Tyler looked at him in bewilder-
ment; then she laughed and explained.
He explained too.
She had unwittingly taken part in a
trial Of applicants for the double posi-
ton of accompanist for singing mas
ter and piano player for the music
shop. A salary was named that left
the little woman nearly dumb with
surprise, so amply it fitted her present
needs. She wanted to dance all the
way home. Fatigue was forgotten.
I'm glad you didn't ride" remarked
Robert Tyler whimsically.
"Oh!" cried his wife, and the ex-
clamation was a thanksgiving.

ties and wish to get outside their en-

up before her who begins to mount a
family tree. Tracing ones genealogy
may become probably will become a
matter Of absorbing amusement and
attention, for it entails a thread gath
cred up here, dropped there, letter
to write, book to read, a register to
consult. To the self absorbed, the
respondent, the listless, one may rec
ommend this diversion as certain to
suit even rather morbid conditions Of

In regard to the Hartzell and Bas-

enable those who know them to
discriminate between those un-
fortunate boys and the real GRIM
inal. We feel assured that they are
not guilty OF the dark premedita-
tions of the red-handed man of
crime; yet, the law, from the very
fact of it's being extremely discrimi-
native must in this sense become
heartlessly indiscriminative and
leaves it to careless, inconsiderate
public to maintain just attitude
toward two, heretofore prosperous,
citizens who, under
the impression that their lives were
in danger, crushed deadly enemy
who had previously boasted of de-
signs sufficiently dark to Justify
the defendants in taking a constant
attitude of self defense. Thus on
the alert, and in readiness to meet

about them it required only the
faintest alarm to precipitate just
such calamity as is now the pain
full reality.
