Another Posthumous Romance by S K Crockett
Two Stories in Lighter Vein.

The Face on the Screen'-most prob

have a romance Of THE Voice on the
Record? Here it is. 1t is not tale
of golden tenor, virile BARITONE or
a sonorous bass, but of the deep. beau
tiful, sympathetic voice of the French
Professor" Let us explain. Miss
Amelie Trent. an orphan, alone and
lonely OF her inherited Kentucky
acres. sends to a language school in
New York for its Photographic course
in French. The machine arrives. and
from record 33 the voice of the pro-
fessor goes straight to the girls for
lorn heart. What is more, his talking
lessons respond with strange acct
dental sympathy to her moods. Then
comes letter from the school asking
for the return of the beloved voice.
The girl refuses, of course; then, obey
ing an impulse, starts for New York 10
find its possessor. And here the com
plcations begin, for tn: managers OF
the school are determined to regain
possession of record No. 33 at any cost
The story is ingeniously invented and
worked out with clever little touches
the reputation, for instance, which the
record brings to the girls house among
the Kentucky negroes-that of being
haunted Thus it becomes the best pro-
tector she could find. The denouement
is, of course, altogether satisfactory.
