Passed With the Melody.

AS the last sad notes of "Ah Che La
Morte,' which she was playing at a
summer gathering echoed through the
house, summer visitor at Northport,
l.. l., turned to bow to the company
and then collapsed. AS her husband
rushed to her she looked up at him
and gasped: kiss me goodbye, dear,
for l am going to die" Hardly had
the words left her lips when the end
came. Death was caused by heart
failure. brought on by the effort she
had put into her rendition Of the song
from III Trovature." to prove that
grand opera was superior to all forms
OF music. Don't you think that the
popular melodies are really the best -
was the question asked the lady, who
sung several times during the eve
ming. She answered in the negative SO
positively that discussion COM
menced. To prove her contention, she
dwelt on the beautiful arias of "Il
Trovatore," declaring them to be un-
equalled. As an illustration she volun-
teered to play "Ah Che La Morte."
The piano score of this piece is diff
fcult, and requires delicate finger exc
oution. While the doomed woman
played her audience listened spell
bound. The notes seemed to sob out
the lovers farewell. while the pro
test against their eternal separation
storned the stern decree of fate in an
outburst of harmony. Then came the
end. as the tragedy of the opera CON-
pleted its sombre finish in real life.

letter. why do people spend Sun
day writing letters?" he questioned
himself.
! Lynn was startled then by hel
voice calling to some one within the
studio.
"Oh, Jane-I forgot to get stamps
and this letter absolutely must go to
night. Have you one?" The CIR
stepped inside and Lynn was pos
sessed of bright idea.
He found his stamp book and tore
out couple of stamps. With swift
fingers he wrote his name on the
back and let them fiutter down tC

pected. one flew out beyond the rail

ed impatlently. She came out again
and he could tell by the disappoint
ment in her attitude that she had
been unsuccessful in her quest. She
stood for moment in indecision,
then discovered the stamp clinging to
the vine
"Oh-how fortunate!" she cried to
the person within. 81 have found one!"
Lynn watched her moisten the cor
ner of her envelope and stick the
stamp on. He sighed. He had hoped
that she might. in moistening the
stamp, catch sight of his writing.
However. he had done her service.
and that was some consolation.
1t was week later and Tom Lynn
was at his usual place by the vine
framed window. He looked out to
see If the girls head was there. Yes.
And another head, black and wind
tossed, was there also.
The two girls were talking and
their voices rose distinctly to Lynn.
They were evidently continuing q
conversation started within.
But how could you stick a stamp
on without seeing that manner" the
dark-haired girl asked.
Il licked the envelope" returned
the other. II merely found that
stamp on my vine and put 1t on your

suppressed current of excitement was
in her voice.

seen Tom Lynn's name. l am going

BACK OF THE STAMP
Why the Roses Came to Peggy's
Cheeks.
BY CATHERINE cooPE,

Tom Lynn peered cautiously down
| through the vines that clustered up
from the window box on the floor
| below.
| Would that feminine, chestnut
crowned head, with it's myriad of
stolen sunbeams. be in it's accustomed
place on the balcony below? Lynn
leaned forward. careful not to break
one Of the tender green shoots that
SO generously scrambled up and over
his bachelor window frame. Lynn
felt grateful for the fragrant link that
seemed to join his studio to that Of
the girl with the coppery hair. In
his romantic mind he likened the
| vine to the invisible tendrils that had
escaped from the girls personality
and bound him in a tight mesh.
Yes, she was there. Lynn felt
strangely at peace with the world now
that he could feas. his eyes on the
riot Of hair that lay In two great
braids around her shapely head. He
chafed at his bird's-eye view of the
girl. From his position she seemed
to have cheeks like a rose petal.
Once in fortunate moment, when
she was measuring the skyline with
her eyes. Lynn had a glorious glimpse
of dimpled chin and lips.
From that moment Lynn had
scarcely left his studio. SO fearful was
he that the girl would vanish from
his sight He spent many hours watch
ing her slim fingers WELD the paint
brush. for she was making an inter
esting sketch of the housetops that
formed her outlook
Only once had Lynn been in the
elevator with the girl. and it had
seemed so entirely wrong that she
should flash her smile at the big
black man who ran the elevator rath-
er than at him. But when she STEP
ped out Lynn received a swift. shy
glance. He remembered afterward
that delicate color had come into
her cheeks.
And now as he gazed down at her
on the balcony he sighed.
SO near and yet so far" he
fretted inwardly and felt twinge of
jealously when she began to write a
