There is no more effective weapon

the Rev. T. p. Hunt, an old time tenn
perance lecturer, whose own quick wit
saved him frequently from rough
usage.
AT one of his lectures, when the
cause of temperance was new, Mr.
Hunt heard a gentleman, evidently of
considerable influence, haranguing the
crowd against temperance. AS the lee
turer passed the door he heard this
man say:
ut is nothing but a money making

"Sir," Hunt replied quickly, you do
not believe that, and l can prove it."
The man defied him to do So

Hunt, ''but judge from your appear

he stole back to the farmhouse and
took down a stuffed image of Pongo,
his greatly mourned sheep dog, from

the stuffed dog had been placed at the
foot of the tree.
The farmer then proceeded with the
business of the farm, and the men Won

chuckled to himself.
An hour went by, and the farmer

VOICE AND
VIOLIN
BY ~. ~, Hines
} Copyright. 1903. by T. c. Mcclure
l%~#%%A#%%%*e%%%%%o#H#%%%%.

Herman Muller was thrifty, very
shy, very musical and very much in
love. The fact that lie was very shy
and very much in love disturbed him
greatly, and the fact that he was very
musical disturbed other people, par
ticularly the people in the house where
he boarded This house was in a very
quiet part of Brooklyn, and from it
Herman went to his work in New York
every morning and returned in the
evening. During business hours, from
0 to 3. he was Herman Muller, head
bookkeeper for the importing firm of
DrummOnd & Hart After business
hours he was that moon eyed Dutch
man who plays the fiddle"
Herman had tried one boarding
house after another, but never had he
found one where violin playing at
night was encouraged either by land
lady or the other boarders. Finally
he had moved into this house and, in
desperation, resolved to brave all the
unkind remarks. The quiet part of the
city suited him, and really the other
bOarders We're not as entirely unrea-
sOnable as some others he had known.
Opening on to his room was Il small
fire escape balcony, and he had secured
permission to sit on this in the even
ings and play his violin softly. The
softness was stipulated by the con
cessionnaires. 1t was very cold on the
balcony in winter time, but he was al
ways cheered up by the society of his
beloved fiddle and the knowledge
that spring was coming.
And it was in the spring that he fell
in love-nOt once, but twice Now, it
was grateful to his Teutonically senti-
mental soul to fall in love, but it is diff
ficult even for a German musician to
love two women at once with whole
souled enthusiasm. Yet he was not eX-
aCtly in love with two women-he was
In love with woman and with a voice.
The woman was the new stenOgra-
pher in the office of Drummond & Hart.
Slender, brunette and dainty, she was
In every respect antithetical to the big,

blond, untidy looking fellow who so adj
mired her at first sight. But Herman
was a handsome fellow despite the
careless manner in which he dressed,
and the new stenographer often glanced
at him approvingly when she knew he
was looking the other way.
Mr.. Drummond, the senior partner in
the firm, introduced Herman to the
new stenOgrapher. He knew Herman's
reputation for shyness and only by a
great effort kept down a smile when he
saw the big German blush conspicuous
ly upon meeting the frank glance of
the young girl. The introduction over,
Herman promptly turned to his books,
more for the purpose of letting the
blush die away than for any other rea-
son. AS he pored over the books he re-
fiected with delight that the girls name,
Helen. Dumont, was a name that emf
nently suited her
1t was not until business hours were
over, his dinner eaten and the violin
and himself in close companionship on
the little balcony that he decided he
was dt ldSI III love. linen lie look the
violin into his confidence, cuddling it
up to his chin and playing very softly
little love song of the Rhine country.
1t was a light thing, ripping and sun
shiny, and it seemed to express his feel
ings. He wondered if Helen was mu-
steal. She must be, her face was so
sensitive, he decided.
As he played he heard a window
raised in the house next door and re-
fected uneasily that some one would
probably shout across to him to keep
his fiddle playing for the daytime
However, no protest came, and he
changed the air he was playing to
Schuberts serenade Scarcely had he
taken up the measure of this than he
heard a voice accompanying him. No
words were sung; it was a sort of hum
ming, but in voice of 50 pure So
prano quality that he was thrilled
through and through. Then he played
one of Sauer's peasant love songs, and
the voice still accompanied him, this
time singing the words very softly.
But other windows in his own house
were raised to protest at the music.
