For all this treason of her sisters did
Lucille pay dearly She was sent to

her knuckles ana pinched her tired

These professors all agreed that she
had the musical temperament. the
soul but she lacked technique. They
did not appreciate that it was simply
the womanly soul of the girl seeking
expression in chords and runs.
Patiently she made the rounds of
studios, concerts, lectures and recitals
Obediently she read the masses of
musical literature which her father
provided for her delectation and ad-

But when Harry Wall happened to
meet her on the avenue-and this hap

season advanced-she smiled and for

Harry Wall was nothing If not SIN

upon Lucille under her fathers roof
and was repulsed by the supreme max

studies. She sailed on the first boat

Hinh EInance.

The excursion train was crowded,
and the man in the center OF the car
knew it would be impossible to get out
through the jam to get something to
eat without losing his seat and per-
haps missing the train. He looked
longingly az the restaurant across the
tracks and seeing an urchin sitting on
the iron pipe near by, he called him
over. saying: Here, son. take this
quarter and run over to that restau-
rant and set me sandwich And
get yourself one" he called after the
boy.
You are crazy" said the excursion
ist beside the man. You'll never see
that kid or your quarter again"
And as the train whistled Mt the mo
ment he feared it would be true. Just
then, however. the boy came out of the
restaurant with a large fat sandwich
IN his hand. The train was moving as
he handed up the change and then,
taking n huge mouthful of the sand
wich he called to the departing man
with the hunger:
They only had one left. Thanks"

Daniel Werner had decreed that his
daughters should be man haters. Mar
riage should represent TO them slav-
cry. To this end he selected for each
of his daughters a career which, in
the estimation of Mr.. Werner, was the
infallible antidote for romance.
To all of this his daughters openly
subscribed-and inwardly rebelled. For
Margaret, who had commanding fig
ure even at seventeen and a full, mel
low voice, he selected the profession
of the law. Had Margaret been al
lowed to choose for herself, she would
have studied sociology and gone down
into the slums to save the souls of lit
tie children.
For Janet, who looked like his Uncle
Ezra. noted upstate physician, he
chose medicine. Janet crawled under
the bed on Fourth of July and turned
white and sick at the sight of blood,
but if there was anything in physical
resemblance she would outgrow these
foolish ideas and surely she was her
great Uncle Ezra in petticoats.
For Lucille, because of her dreamy
nature and studious air, lie chose
music. She looked the musician-and
therefore she could become one. lie
did not know that her dreams were all
woven around baby faces and the one
music for which she would ever care
was a lullaby.
Having thus arrogated the privileges
and responsibilities of fate he pro
ceeded TO earn the money necessary tC
provide the careers-and Cupid sat
back and laughed. This is the sort OF
task that appeals to Dan Cupid.
Margaret studied law by day and
by night read Janets medical books
Just before she graduated she had q

garet's medical knowledge, gained
vicariously through Janet, proved tel
