MIGHT HAVE COME EARLIER
Admirer of Musician Must Have Felt
Truth of the Answer He
Received.

Signor Puccini, although celebrated
all over the world for his operas, is
still a young man. On the subject of
his early success the Italian composer
said recently in New York.
81 have been very lucky. Recogni-
ton for artistic work comes so often
after one is too old to enjoy it.
Il remember one of my country
men, a centenarian, who, had he died
before seventy, would never have seen
any Of his operas produced. Luckily
he lived to SO great an age that he re-
ceived for many years the admiration
he deserved. Naturally enough,
though, this splendid artist regretted
his years of o~bscurity and neglect,
and he frequently spoke bitterly Of
his bad fortune.
"Once, at the very end of his long
life, an Englishman entered his box
at the opera in Rome, and said re.
spectfully:
81 have travelled all the way from
London to see the author OF my ia
vorite opera
THE veteran composer, with a ma
licious smile, replied:

plenty of time to get here"

She began to sob convulsively.
1t was as though for the first time
she realized her responsibility for his
life; as though her confidence in her
complete understanding of him had
disappeared and he was again a stran-
ger to her-a stranger whom she had
coolly led to the edge of life with
her.

She did not speak, and for a long
time they sat in silence. Many emo
lions were racing through him. His
happiness was almost a pain, for it
came to him in this extremity when
there was no hope ahead. She had
not yielded herself, but she had not re-
sisted his embrace; even now her head
was on his shoulder. Indeed, he had
given her no chance to confess what
she might feel for him.

near by.

the grim and terrible humor of their

realized. Here they were, the hard
sought papers in their possession, yet
they were helpless even to ave their
own lives.
II wish you would shout" she said.

to the door, he called out several
times with the full power of his lungs.
The sound, pent In that narrow room,
fairly crashed in their ears, but there
was no answer from without.

"Why"-he stammered-"I-"
He had been so conscious of hi
feeling toward her, so conscious o
the fact that the one woman in all tn,
world was locked in here alone witt
him, that since he arranged her sea
he had not trusted himself to be nea
her. And she did not seem to under
stand.
She wished him to sit beside her, no
knowing that he felt the almost ove1
towering impulse to take her in hi
arms and crush her close to him. Tha
desire would have been more easil
controlled, had he not begun to believ
that she in some degree returned BIZ
feeling for her. If they escaped fror
this black prison, he would rest happ
in the faith that her affection for hin
now, as he supposed so largely FRIEND

compelling love. But It would not b
