Almost-almost they had given up when a

century ago-cracked and flared and glowed
and sang. and the little mother and the
tall lank son looked into their burning
depths with staring eyes.
She turned to him with a sad smile,
smile with tear under it, like a bit of
reluctant sunshine on drop of dew.

He laughed softly, and then looked in
tently into the fire-into the wonderful
fire, where fairies fitted among the embers
and fancies glowed upon the burning
logs. With the stress of something to say
upon him, he seemed to want to get as far
away from it as possible.

When she returned the note he asked:
=" You knew of this?
Yes" she replied.
He stepped to the window, looked out,
and mechanically folded the paper as he
pondered. Then, turning suddenly and
putting on his hat, he marched forth to the
days duties, saying as he passed his
wife: Well, | guess he II get along"
Spring came again. Catbirds were riot

in the air.
From early morning tie little mother
was peeplng through the window gazing
down the expecting, expecting, ex-

peered when she saw her big husband
coming in the gate-coming slowly-com-

of himself-coming halliday earlier than
was his habit. Something surely was afoot
when he would forsake the fields.

Certainly not" he answered gruffly.
He sat on the edge of the porch, and be-
came busy figuring on an old envelop
The figuring didn't seem to lead to much,
and from it regularly his eyes lifted toward
the lane.
The wife went in to her work. A half
hour afterward she came out again, this
time in another dress and with her hair
freshly fixed. The husband was rocking
in one chair; she took the other.

FRENCH PIANIST HERE
IN INITIAL RECITAL

Felix Garziglia, a young prize pupil
OF the Paris Conservatory. made his
debut here yesterday afternoon In the
Columbia Theater in piano recital In the
second concert Of the series given by the
Washington College OF Music. Mr.. Gar
zlgIa had an Rppreciative and enthusi-
astic audience made up OF music lovers
and connolsseurs IN music. and he made
a success. His program was an inter-
estlng one, well chosen and well arrang-
ed, and opened with the Bach Prelude
and Fugue in c sharp, followed by two
Mendelssohn numbers, Prelude In B
minor and Etude in b fiat minor Two
Schumann numbers. NOcturne in F and

the Mendelssohn Spring Song. which
was eXquisitely done, a Chopin Etude.
equally well done. and the Eleventh
Rhapsody Of List, given with much
brillianCe and assurance.
The young player showed an artistic
temperament and clear brilliant tech
nique. His interpretations have origi-
nality and intelligence and the audience
stamped its approval of him before the
program was half finished. He is dis
tinctly of the French school; his runs
are limpid and graceful, and his play
ing is full OF sentiment
At the end Of the program he re-
ceived almost an ovation. between the
yells Of the students Of the college and
the applause OF the audience, and every
one remained 10 hear the encore which
he was obliged To play.
