We have a handsome hero in Mrs. X.
J. Keys story OF "a Daughter Of Love"
Dufileld and Company. When Pader-
ewski played at the Free Trade Hall in
Manchester Dudley Bellairs was present
and shared the general attention and
wonder. The master exercised his usual
surpa ssing genius at the piano. In his
rendering OF Reflects sur reau" he
brushed drops OF pearly water from his
fingers. a nimhle and graceful perform
ance leaving an agreeable impression OF
cleanliness. The intricate German COM
position "Auf dem Wasser zu Singer"
which followed, was made equally re-
markabe. Here there was the sense Of
water bubhllng, OF "gurgling, glistening
water" There was more than that.
The shivery element foamed, flung sill
very spray and dissolved under the
magical fingers" The Manchester
Canal was forgotten. Time was affected.
Obstacles thwartlng the vision were re-
moved "Eons passed. The curtain OF

wonder worker. this wizard Juggler with
HOP WAS II Apollo playing on his
tabled Tyre, or only a Polish pianist in
the Free Trade HALF" There were two
more pieces. both entirely successful.
LISTS transcription from The Flying
Dutchman" was made perfectly effec-
tive in "voicing that restless imprisoned
soul" and the Moonlight Sonata" was
caused 10 be simple. calm and sad in a
divine degree and precisely according TO
intention. The applause was tremen-
dous.
Dudley Bellairs arose when Paderew-
ski had concluded. The story describes
/ the effect: "The famous cricketer had
been noticed Immediately by all the peo-
pie in the near neighborhood OF his seat
and now that he got up his presence at
the concert caused a sensation only sec
ond to that OF Paderewski. Women
/ looked at him with undlsguised admira-
/ ton, men crowded round so that they
could gaze more closely on the hero OF
many bloodless field and amicable vic

ford next day Dudley received more at

| how the sun streamed down on his
curls, waking their hidden color as early

This was after he had washed at the

curls were beginning to ruf'ie and dry.
The story says of Dudley here: Like

collar OF his cricket shirt showing his
powerful throat and the loose Jacket

OF Mr.. Yonkerman, the American corset
king, thought that she could capture
him. but she was mistaken.
It must be held that Dudley was moi
very considcrate of his father This
parent, Lord St, Firth. who was de-
seconded under the bar sinister from
King Charles H., was strongly conser'
vative and had n right to ask that his
son, a Socialist member Of Parliament
az well as a cricketer, should restrain
his radical sentiments In the ancestral
home, particularly at the dinner table
Dudley was rude to Sir Alfred Levy thu

Yonkerman, the American corset king
