THE MAGIC MUSICIAN
BY Stuart B. Stone,

Francois, first violin at the
|gflded Belvidere, had two precious
secrets pent in his warm, Gallo
heart. The first of these was
known only to a very proud, an
Client family upon the vine-clad
banks of the Loire; the second
was really no secret at all-for
Francois told the beautiful story
in the wailing, pleading tones of
his beloved Strad every night to
the gay parties that thronged the
Cafe Belvidere. This was his love
for the lady of the lavender ostrich
plume.
Francois had singled her out
one night when her party was the
merriest in the tinseled cafe.
Madame of the lavender plume,
when the others joined boisterous-
ly in the applause, had said mere
ly, "Good!"
The next night Francois fixed
his bright, brown eyes upon
madame and rendered "The Cava-
lier's Golden Dream" Madame,
who was very sensitive to these
things, dropped just one little, un-
hidden tear upon her lobster ac-
lcording to Newburg. Francois
saw, and dreamed of her that
might in his tiny, tenth floor gar
lret.
After that the secret ceased to
be secret. Madame came night
lily with her grand friends. After
"a bit, in his artists ecstasy. he
would advance and face his lady
forgetting the crowd and Josef
and Paul and the other musi-
CLANS. Thus the thing became q
rare Jest with madame's grand
friends.
Finally the great news came to
Francois from across the sea,
bearing a crest of ancient honor.
THE first precious secret was
ready for the greedy world.
Then Francois came down to
the Cafe Velvidere in rented
dress suit OF extraordinary splen-
dor. When madame came with
her friends, he stepped out upon
the floor and played as even he
had not played before. It was
