Nine. Margaret Ober, the beautiful
mezzo-soprano, whose appearance at
tie Metropolitan Opera House in New
York, has deeply interested musical
critics, began her stage career in love.
She was in love long before she de-
cided to sing professionally, and under
its influence her musical ability de-
veloped so rapidly that her husband
decided she should sing in opera.
She began the study of music as q
young girl in Berlin with no thought
of becoming a professional. But at

She seemed to have heard it before. With

THOMPSON crouched back in i1is compartment,
feigning slumber while the porter made up
his bed. He awakened drowsily and tipped the
man, then made pretence of sltpping out Of his
coat. Immediately the porter disappeared he
nervously tumbled with the lock Of his grip
opening It finally and disclosing secret trap in
the bottom from which he took an stomi1er,
pair Of nipPers, and bottle Of pale viscid nuid
For an hour he waited, motionless, not even
hs fixed eyes blinking he regarded the cur
tains of the berth Lucille occupied. After that
time he slipped to the smoking compartment, to
find the porter engaged in an argument with
the club car man. he listened moment then
strolled back to his compartment.
He was swift; he was certain; he was sure
Not sound did he make he strode boldly
down the lurching aisle, his tools in his hand.
Deity parting the curtains, he looked down upon
the sleeping girl. No atom of pity was IN his
heart. All the thief now, his eyes glittered as
he allowed them to rest upon the glowing strand
of stones about her neck
Swiftly he leaned over, applying his pinchers
to the gas jet and unscrewing it so that the
odor of the gas slowly began filing the stuffy
section. Then he gently sprayed the ether across
her face, never moving when she unconsciously
stirred to fight of the anaesthetic
Her breathing became heavier while her lips
took a blush tinge. The gas was becoming
stronger and he knew her condition would be
ascribed to asphyxiation when she recovered
from the effects of the ether. STOPPING, with no
appearance of care now, he unfastened the
rubies from her throat. moment he waited,
slipping them in his pocket, then he slipped back
to his own compartm tment. .--- ~
Carefully he repacked his grip. tucking the
necklace in his breast pocket. Against the door
he crouched, waiting.
No trace of anxiety he showed. He was
fdent of himself. Came clamping down upon
the ties as the air brakes worked. Thompson
threw open his window, looking out to discover
it opposite tiny station. With pocket
knife he cut out the screen that separated him
from the tracks. ..rs.4r
Cautiously he looked up and down the track.
The train was slowing down. He tossed his bag
far out from him then slipped partially through
the window. The lights of the station were al
most in his eyes when he jumped, landing on
his feet and regaiping his balance with effort.
Then he permitted himself the luxury of smile.
The next train through would be time
enough and-the booty in his breast pocket was
worth many risks.

7 UCILLE felt herself struggling with desper-
- ate enemy, whose fingers were of steel as
they fastened themselves about her throat,
grasped at her breath and held 1t despite her
utmost efforts. Even in the effort to waken, un-
successful though It was, she seemed to recog-
nize the calm, imperturbable, businesslike fea-
lures of Thompson.
Then she felt sensation Of ease and com
fort and peace such as had not been hers for
long time, and she allowed herself to drift away
upon the gently flowing river that hummed its
song in her ears.
She awakened to find herself being shaken
violently by the conductor and porter whose
ebony face had changed to saffron shade. Her
head ached so fearfully that she pressed her
feyerish palms to her temples to keep it from
bursting. Her throat and mouth felt though
she had been subsisting upon diet Of cotton
soaked in oil.
She staggered to her feet and stood, dazed
and bewildered, in the aisle of the car. The con-
ductor turned her over to two women, who stood
with her upon the platform, supporting her
trembling figure while the fresh air drove away
the fumes Of chloroform and gas to which she
had been subjected.
First she felt the rush of the train, the dot
ting Of lights in the distance, the rush Of the
train past the lightk only to come upon new
cluster. And she was rushing ushing-rushing
just like these lights to cavernous blackness

business meeting was called to order

Teachers assertion has taken on new

standard of the music teaching frater-

honest with ourselves, we must confess
that u success has been only partial;
that we are still far from the goal we
have set; the highest possible standard
of efficiency.
ITO reach this goal. it seems to me,
we must follow one of I'VE paths-state
legislation to license all music instruc-

unlicensed persons from teaching mu-

exclusion from the association Of all
music teachers who will not submit to
these examinations.
State legislation appears to be un-
feasible, and yet why should it be?
The state prosecutes the quack doctor

Of the body. It will not entrust the

WEBER, MUSICIANS HEAD,
STUDIES C%HIROPRACTIC

Davenport Qa.1 Democrat and
Leader: Mr.. Joe Weber, who up to a
short time ago was president of the
American Federation of Musicians, an
organization of $50, 900 members, and
his talented wife, Mrs. Gesela Weber,
n of the seven greatest lady violin
lists in the world, arrived in Davenport
at 2:10 this afternoon and have en-
rolled at the Palmer School Of Chiro-
practic.
The determination Of MI. Weber and
his talented wife to become Chiro-
pr%actors and give up their remnuera-
tive work which has made them world
famous, is the result of the wonderful
good Chiropractic accomplished for
Mrs. Weber after specialists and
that she would never again have the
use Of her priceless arms. Mrs. Weber
lost the use Of both Of her arms, the
arms which had played the violin be-
fore the crowned heads of Europe n
had made great audiences all over this
country respond to her wonderful tai
ent. She consulted the greatest ply
sicians and always with the same re-
suit: You will never again have the
use of your arms" AS a last resort,
she went to Heinrich Dueringer, Chi
r%opractor, New York city, graduate Of
the Palmer school. and under his adj
justments life was restored In the
arms which had been pronounced
dead, and she "a again able to re-
sumo her concert work.
MI. Weber has been endeavoring for
a year to give up his work for the
musicians Of this country n Canada
and TAX up chiropract!c, realizing
what a wonderful science 1t Is and
what it accomplishes for the sick and
q ff1ipfaH Inst TnlU hn fan6araA his re-
signation as president of the great or"
ganization, but. 1t was not accepted.
Instead his salary was raised from So
600 per annum to $500. This year
he again resigned and the organization
raised his salary from $1,000 to $1,000
per year, but at this time Mr.. Weber
stated that he would not consent to re-
main even for $4,000 per year; that he
was going to become a chiropractor
and go forth and do for the suffering
the great good he knew could be &C
complished through chiropractic. Mrs.
Weber brought with her the $4,000
"Strad" violin which she possesses and
will have the same deposited in a safe
ty vault.
The coming of Mr.. and Mrs. Weber
is an indication of the class Of people
Palmer school The enrolment this
spring has been the largest in the his
tory of the Institution. At the school
at this time twenty-five different col
leSeS dnO unlVeTSlLleS are represented
by the student bod9. A large class
graduated May l, and the incoming
class was over twice as large as it was
a year ago.
Mr.. Weber is very well known to the
musicians Of the three cities because
of his years of activity in their behalf,
and Mrs. Weber's work Is known to all
of them as well.
DR.. Newsalt, the we'll known Fargo
c~hiropractor, was a classmate of DR..
Dueringer, AMI he speaks of DR.. Duer-
myers ability very highly.

Music for N. E. A. Meetina.

The program of music by St. Paul
composers, announced by the Schubert
club to be given for the entertainment
Of the National Education association,
which meets at st. Paul next month, is
a sort Of intermezzo OF entr'acte, be-
longing neither to the closing year
nor, strictly speaking. to the advance
ing musical season: it is but another
expression of the admirable and far
reaching cooperation which lies at the
very heart of the manifold activities
put forth by the club at all times.
In the present instance the Schubert
club will make itself useful in Offer
ing hospitality to the city's guests, and
in so doing will furthermore declare
the city's musical resources, creative
n interpretive, in a I'M calculat-
ed to reach the ears of the entire
country.
