I'd have caught her
But reason promptly asked him what
he should have done had he caught the
singer. Yes, supposing he had, what
excuse would he have had to offer?
Denial on her part would have been
simple, and righteous Indignation at
being ~accosted on the street simpler
still. He had not seen her face, and
doubtless she was aware of this fact.
Thus, she would have had all the
weapons for defense and he not one for
attack. But though reason argued well,
it did not disIodge his longing. He
would have been perfectly happy to
have braved her Indignation for a
single glance at her face. He walked
back, lighting his pipe. Who could she
be? What peculiar whimsical freak
had sent her singing past his window
at one o'clock in the morning? A
grand opera singer, returning home
from a late supper? But he dismissed
this opinion even as he advanced It,
He knew something about grand opera
singers. They attend late suppers, it
is true. but they ride home Ia luxurious
carriages and never risk their golden
voices in this careless If romantic FASH
ion. And in New York nobody took
the trouble to serenade anybody else,
unless paid in advance and armed with
a police permit, As for being q comic
opera star, he refused to admit the
possibility; and he relegated this we'll
satisfied constellation to the darks of
limbo. He had heard a Voice.
A vast shadow doomed up in the mid
die of the street, presently to take upon
itself the solid outlines of 4 policeman
who came numbering over to add or
subtract his quota of interest in the
affair. Hillard wisely stopped and
waited for him, pulling up the collar
of his jacket, as he began to note that
there was a winters tang to the fog.
: Hi, what's all this?" the policeman
called out roughly.
ITO what do you refer" Hillard
counter-questioned, putting, He slipped
his hands into the pockets Of his jacket.
II heard a woman singin', that's
what" explained the guardian Of the
law.
The Newark star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1909, 1909-04-07

so did this unknown cantatrice COME
out of the fog that night and enter into
Hillard's life, to readjust its ambitions,
to divert it's aimless course. to give
impetus to it, and a directness which
hitherto it had not known.
rtAh!"
He leaned over the sill al a perilous
angle, the bright Goa of his pipe spill
ing comet-wise to the area-way below.
He was only subconscious of having
spoken; but this syllable was sufficient
to spoil the enchantment. The Voice
ceased abruptly, with an odd break.
The singer looked up. Possibly her as
tonishment surpassed even that of her
audience. For a few minutes she had
forgotten that she was in New York,
where romance may be found only in
the ~book-shops; she had forgotten tina
it was night. a damp and chill forlorn
night; she had forgotten the pain In
her heart, there had been only a great
and irresistible longing to sing.
Though she raised her face. he could
distinguish no feature, for the light
was behind. However, he was q man
who made up his mind quickly.
Brunette or blond, beautiful or other
wise, 1t needed but a moment to find
out. Even as his decision was made
he was in the upper hall, taking the
stairs two at a bound. He ran out
into the night, bareheaded. Up the
street he saw a flying shadow. Plainly
she had anticipated his impulse and
the curiosity behind 1t. Even as he
gave chase the shadow melted in the
fog, as ice melts in running waters. as
flame dissolves in sunshine. She was
gone He cupped his ear with his hand;
in vain, there came no sound as Of
pattering feet: there was nothing but
fog and silence.
We'll, if this doesn't beat the Dutcn!'
he murmured.
He laughed disappointedly. 1t did not
matter that he was three and thirty;
he still retained youth enough to feel
chagrined at such a trivial defeat.
Here had been something like a
genuine adventure, and it had slipped
like water through his clumsy fingers.
Deuce take the fog! But for that

SESAME CLUBS BUSY MEET.

Officers were not elected at the an
hual meeting of the Sesame Club yes
terday because of the intention to
unite With the Philomatheans. The
meeting was held in the home of Miss
Swayze. in High street. The clubs
will join forces late In the
spring. following the meeting of
the State Federation at Atlantic
City May I and s, and the term Of the
present officers has been extended to
cover this time. Further plans as to
the aims of the new club were dis
cussed, and it was decided to have
active and associate members. The
clubwomen realize that there are a
great many women in the city who
have not the time to be active in club
work, attending fortnightly meetings,
preparing papers. etc, but who gen
timely desire to go out once in awhile
and attend lectures and social meet
ings. 1t Is thought that a great many
of these women will join the new club
as associate members at 81 per year.
The fifth Friday of the month will be
observed as a general social day; on the
first meeting of the month there will
be a lecture or its equivalent, open to
associate members, while the second
meeting will be for sactive members,
who will pay 81 per year as dues.
A committee was appointed to draft
a constitution and bylaws, including
Mrs. Henry Haussling, president of
Sesame, and Mrs. Henry Fl. Dawson
and Miss Mary Swayze, of Sesame;
Mrs. Abram S. Cooper, president of
Philomathean, and Mrs. William Disbro
and Mrs. r. F. Anthony, of that club.
The delegates appointed to attend the
State Federation meeting are Mrs.
Haussling, Mrs. Francis ]. Swayze,
with Mrs. George Fowler and Miss
Mary Swayze as alternates.

or rather this old desire, newly aWak-

is the mystery and power of the human

his window. had awakened him.
Never the winter came with its
weary round of rain and fog and snow
that his heart and mind did not fly
over the tideless southern sea TO the
land of his birth if not of his blood
Sorrento, that jewel of the ruddy Gifts!
There was fog outside his window, and
yet how easy it was to picture the tur-
auoise bay of Naples shimmering in
the morning light! There was Naples
itself. like a string of it's own pink
coral. lying crescent-wise on the dis
tant strand; there were the snowCaps
fading on tho far horizon; the bronzed
fishermen and their wives. a sheer two
hundred feet below him, pulling in
their glistening nets; the amethyst
isles of Capri and Ischia ~eternally
hanging midway between the blue of
the sky and the blue of the sea; and
there, towering menacingly above all
this melting beauty, the dark, grim
pipe of Vulcan. How easily, indeed, he
could see all these things!
With a quick gesture of both hands,
Latin, always Latin, he crossed the
room to a small writing-desk, turned
IN the lights and sat down. He smiled
as he toe up the pen to begin his
composition. Not one chance in q
thousand. And after several attempts
he realized hat the letter he lac in
mind was not the simplest to compose,
There were a dozen futile efforts before
he produced anything like satisfaction,
Then he filed out a small check. A
little later he stole downstairs, round
the corner to the local branch of the
post-office, and returned. 1t was only
a blind throw, such as dicers some
times make in the dark. But chance
