Greatest Musical Nation.

To say Of any one nation that IL
has "given us the best and most
charming music" would be rather
hazardous statement. Italy has CIV
en- us much fine music, and so has
France, and Austria, and England, and
even the United States. Perhaps Ger
many has the best claim to be called
the leading musical nation. Certainly
no other nation can show greater mu-
sic than that which was composed by
Beethoven, Mozart and other artists
from the Fatherland.

with the blank side up Suddenly she
turned them over and placed both her
hands firmly or the paper.
Enoch took a few steps forward and
peered down through his glasses. His
gait grew unsteady and his fingers
gripped at the edge of the table. A
purplish flush swept over his cheeks.
then he became CHASTITY pale. His very
lips grew white. There were gray
hollows about his eyes like the shad-
ows which creep into face after
death. His mouth moved, but he did
not utter word, because his tongue
touched dry lips.
Il knew you would understand,
murmured the woman.
Wentworth's hands sprang at her
wrists like the grip of a wild beast
snatching at its prey.

derous fury. He turned with a quick
gesture to the wall behind him.
Against a rug of Oriental mating

The woman watched him with cool
unconcern. He seemed to be search
Ing rapidly with his eyes for some
thing. He laid his hand upon a long
thin dagger. Here and there It's blade
had rusted to blackness, but its edge
was deadly keen. He jabbed the point
of it into his plotting pad. 1t curled
over lithely, az a Ferrara does. Then
he glanced at the woman beside the
table. His eyes were glittering with
the bloodthirsty passions Of the primi-

Zilla Paget lifted lorgnette which
hung at her wrist by jeweled chain.
She clicked 1t open. raised it to her
eyes-and laughed.
Il wonder" she murmured, "if you
realize how ridiculous you look. You
are too white-livered to do such
thing as that Besides" she glanced
about the sunlit room, where could
you hide the body?"
Enoch tossed the blade upon his
desk and began to walk up and down
the floor. He rolled his handkerchief
into a hard ball and dabbed with 1t
continually at his moist forehead. The
woman sat perfectly still. She turned
to fold the sheets of paper, then she
laid one hand upon them and lay back
gracefully in her chair.
Wentworth turned on her with
sudden question. How much do you
want for-Exhibit A and the rest OF
the evidence?"
She shrugged her shoulders: Il have
no intention Of selling it.
Then what's your price," Enoch's
question snapped like pistol shot.
She looked up at him with de-
risive smile.

He had not learned a trade; therefore he could not work by the day, and, hay ing no capital. he was unable to go into business for himself During the first year 0f his absence from home he wrote tJ his wife regularly, but having no prospect of being able to send for her and little Carl, his letters after that became less frequent
 Gradually from year to year August Eaufman's connection with his family dwindcd. Indeed, what was there to hold them together, they being 5000 or 1000 miles apart and in countries where the people were entirely differ ent? 1t would be impossible to look into Eaufmuu's heart during this sep aration from his family and see just what yearuings were there. We know that after u time he stopped writing and receiving letters, but may not his wife as well as he at last have tired of a communication which was con- fined to pen and paper:
 About ten years after Kaufman's coming to America, having made many experiments md driftcd to many coun- tries, he succeeded in borrowing a lit tie money to go into business, a part of the prof;s to go to the lender He soon repaid tine loan and in a few years more sold out his business for enough to enable him to live the rest of hls life in ease.

It is difficult Co look upon him as the same person. It is fifteen years since he left them His affection for them has either died or lain dormant
 That it had lain dormant is evident from the fact of the strong desire tC reioiu them that had suddenly famed within him.

The Ka aufrrlan Family A Story For Christmas
By ELMA R. WINNING

And. now," said August Kaufman, after receiving payment for his busi- ness which he had just sold for what was to him fortune, the next thing l will do is to buy my ticket for home. It will require two weeks for me to get there and another two weeks to find my wife and child. If l have good luck we shall spend Christmas to- gether."
 He spoke the words If have good luck" doubtfuIly and with a tremor in his voice. Not for years had he heard of his wife and child. He did not know that he should find them at alL Would he md either of them alive: And in what condition would he ind them, if at all?
 Kaufman was an example of what both adverSity and prosperity will do for one. Years before in the city of Anhult. Germany. he had met and married Gretchen Reinickc. The bride was given a substantial dOwry by her father. and the couple started in life with every prospect of happi- ness. When a little boy was born to them their affairs were in excellent condition. gUd there was not a cloud in their dumestic horizon.
 But Kaufman insisted on using his young wife.S dowry in business, and when his lirlc son Carl was year old the father had lost every pfenninS of his capital Too sensitive to re main where he was to bear the re- proachrs of his wifc's relatives, he told her that Ar was going to America, where, so he understood, making a living, if not a fortune was easy, and when settled there he would send for her and their child.
 But Kaufman did not find America a country sa easy to get on in as he had expected. His nature was rather
