musician, as we'll as singer, not to-
take pleasure in a. sweet sound, even
if it were produced by a street+boy.
But as Mr.. Van Torp went On, she
opened her eyes very wide and held
her breath. There was no mistake
about it; he was whistling long pieces
from "Parsifal," as far as it was pos
sible to convey an idea of such music
by Such means Margaret had studied
it before coming to Bayreuth, in or
der to understand it better; she had
now already heard it once, and had
felt the greatest musical emotion of
her life-one that had stirred other
emotions, too, strange ones quite
new to her.

Van Torp pointed to the things that
lay about.
As he went out, he recognized the
voice of his neighbor, who was talk
ing excitedly in voluble German, some,
where at the back of the house.
He's complaining now" thought
Mr.. Van Torp, with something like a
smile.
He had already been to the best
hotel, in the hope of obtaining rooms,
and he had no difficulty in finding it
again. He asked for Nine. da Cor
dova. She was at home, for it was an
off-day; he sent in his card, and was
presently led to her sitting room.
Times had changed. Six months
earlier he would have been told that
there had been a mistake and that she
had gone out.
She was alone; a letter she had
been writing lay unfinished on the
queer little desk near the shaded
window, and her pen had fallen across
the paper. On the round table in the
middle of the small bare room there
stood a plain white vase full of corn,
flowers and peoples, and Margaret
was standing there, rearranging them,
or pretending to do so.
She was looking her very best, and
as she raised her eyes and greeted
him with a friendly smile, Mr.. Van
Torp thought she had never been SC
handsome before.
Margaret held out her hand and he
took it; and though its touch and her
friendly smile were like a taste OF
heaven just then, he pressed her fin
gers neither too much nor too little
and his face betrayed no emotion.

she spoke.
