asked Jacko.
mo, he is an organist one of the
| greatest in this country, people say. "
| A wave of pride was in her voice. She
put one hand on Jacko's shoulder, and,
lifting his chin in the hollow of the
other, looked into the eyes as she said,
solemnly: He was a poor little boy,
once, too. You must be brave and
fight. That's what he did. He won.
So will you"
Yet she laughed gayly as she turned
I to leave him, for it was this joyous
creatures nature not to be serious
I for long at a time. Just once she
turned to look back. Jacko stood
watching her, a pathetic little figure
in the doorway. The girl hinged her
mouth with one of her white-gloved
hands:
"Jacko!" she called, "Jacko! I'm
coming back some day before long
with him. Let your hair grow long;
and don't forget to practise!"
Soon after a bend in the walk hid
her from sight, and Jacko remembered
she had said: Tomorrow I am 60
ing home"
He went into the shed and sat on
the bench in front of his stand
"Tll let-a my hair grow long! I'll
get-a there maybe some day" he NUT
tered He was still clutching the coin
the girl had given him. q guess |
keep-a her dime. Good luck-a maybe. &"
As he opened his hand the yellow
CLEAN of a gold-piece met his gaze.
"What-a!" he exclaimed "what-aI"
He could not believe his eyes. He
put it between his teeth; he twirled it
on top Of the bench; he tested it in
every way he knew to prove its genu-
ineness. Surely it was gold! He eX-
amined it closely A ten-dollar gold.
piece!-the only one Jacko had ever
seen. Oh, what couldn't he do with
all that money! How he would study
how he would practise! He was the
happiest boy in the world To his
illuminated fancy the girl had sudden
ly become an angel
1t was 12 o'clock that night before
JackO was in bed From an old He
brew music teacher who lived in a
single room near his own lodging
house he had taken his first lesson. A
fellow lodger had told him "Old He
berger could teach him the quickest of
anyone he knew" That was exactly
what JackO wanted-to learn quickly,
for had she not said she would come
again soon?
AS the weather moderated Jacko
fetched his violin to the stand each
morning. Now when the shines we're
slow he slimbcd into the chair himself
and sat there poring over his eXer.
cises. Occasionally when business had
been brisk he gave himself the lux
ury of a seat at the evening con-
cert on the pier
1t was then Jacko attained the..sub-
lime height Of absolute contentment.
He adored the leader. He thought him
the most perfect type Of a great mu-
sician the world had ever owned.
One night they played Jocelyn's
"Berceuse," Jacko sat all through it
like something carved from stone. He
had never heard such music 1t
seemed a cry from his own heart.
1t was the last number on the

program. At its conclusion the lead
er threw down his baton, the men
were picking up their music and in
struments, the audience was pushing
its way to the boardwalk, and still
Jacko sat in his chair Suddenly,
swept by wave Of courage, he went
over to the bandmaster.
"Oh, sir" he exclaimed, "what-a-
that music,-tell me what-a it was"
The leader, slender and ascetic look
ing, with masses Of coal-black hair
sweeping the brow and eyes, regarded
Jacko not unkindly. Which piece do
you mean?" he asked. Then he wrote
the name for him on a slip of paper
Noting the look of Joy his act of kind
ness kindled in the eyes of the little
Italian, he wrote a pass for two good
the following Sunday, when Jocelyn's
"Berceuse" would again be on the pro
gram
That night Jacko dreamed the band
master had asked him to play the
"Berceuse' at one of the Sunday CON
CeTts. When he wakened the applause
Of the people was ringing in his ears,
and he was sitting up in bed bowing to
the audience of his dreams. 1t was
so real, so beautiful-Jacko could not
part with the memory Of it.
Oh, if only the bandmaster would
really let him play. He was kind to
him that morning. Perhaps if he told
him how much it would mean to him
he would give him the chance.
1t was after the concert Sunday
that Heberger, to whom Jacko had
confded his hopes, led the boy trem-
bling in every limb, to the great
leader
Again the bandmaster was kind He
listened attentiyely to all Jacko had
to say, even smiling indulgently and
patting him on the head as he sug-
gested he play for him some morning
after the concert.
1T might be I'd put you on one of
the Sunday programs Who knows?"
he said
Such days of hard work tempered by
the joy Of hope as followed Jacko
spent his mornings at the stand. AC
two o'clock he pulled in the shutters,
for after that the shines were few
Then came long hours Of practice that
carried him far into the night. Old
Heberger was heart and soul in the
spirit of it. He wanted Jacko to win.
Thus the time rolled round to the
day the bandmaster had told Heberger
he might fetch the boy They went to-
gether Jacko, his several months
growth of hair a scraggy fringe, carry
ing his violin, his threadbare suit
brushed and pressed till it fairly shone.
The music master was all smiles-a..
confidence
But the leader was cross that morn
ing lie thought he had been snubbed
by Van Wetzel, the great organist. 1t
hurt his pride. it ruGcd his temper.
Van Wetzel had come to the concert
late. A young woman with him led
him to a seat near he platform. The
bandmaster noted with pleasure the
organist's presence He would speak
to him as soon rs he had finished that
piece But when he threw down his
baton and started towards them they
were making their way down the aisle,
formed by rows Of chairs, to the open
end of the pier beyond
Used only to the plaudits, to the
adulation, Of the people, the leader
was piqued that the famous organist,
whom he had met the year before in
Boston, should have overlooked him.

SEVENTY NINE CHRIST
MAS AT BIG STONE.

An evergreen tree for Christ
| mas celebration in lnkpa or BIG
Stone in the year 1879, was out
of the question, and a Christmas
without an eVereen tree would
have been like eating an egg with
out salt. so our ingenious mother
secured a package OF green dla-
mOnd dive. and with it cOlOred a
quantity of excelsior and cord.
TO cut down a whole tree was too
great a sacrifice. so we trimmed
off a few branches from trees
growing along the MILESTONE
near the Oehler mill. and faSten
ed them to an upright, covering
them with our green excelsior,
and 10 and behold we had Il most
graceful and artistic evergreen
tree, which we decorated with
strings OF pop corn cranberries
and paper flowers, and our gifts.
Our own and our neighbors chill
dren had 4 royal time, and as
they remember it it probably
stands out as the greeneSt
Christmas of their lives.
