music-Ioving heart to beating excitedly.
He hardly breathed while the girl fin
is1ed her song and not until he felt that
she was not going to sing again did he
continue his search for the number he
wanted
Madge answered the door and Jimmy 5
lately excited heart jumped suddenly into
action again. Nelly was a person of the
past and dim ages when he beheld Madge
At least, in the unexpected meeting he
forgot Nelly
Il have come in answer to this he
told Madge and held out the advertise
ment
oh. / am so glad! DO come in" She
opened the door and Jimmy stepped into
the poor little room that Madge called
home. He fell to wondering Immediately
what story lay behind her in connection
with the ring she wanted to dispose of.
Madge was not long in enlighten-
, ing him. Her story was simple and
she told it in a frank manner that
put Jimmy in complete possession Of
of manner, together with her wonder
full voice, would place her in an ex-
aIted position of fame was a self
evident fact. He sighed and pondered
on the possibility of a great singer
becoming interested in a mere busi-
ness man. He thought the chances
were few However. the glance Madge
turned full upon him was not alto
gether without some expression that
made Jimmy hope.
81 will miss the piano like thunder"
he said. DO you think I might come
up some evenings and sit in a corner
while you practice?"
Madge laughed mischievously. will

you sufficient amusement" she asked.
NO. they won't" Jimmy told her
frankly, while he watched a rose
bloom in Madge's cheeks. Il have de-
cided not to propose to the girl who
doesn't love music-not yet, at least"
Then you are not going to make
the exchange" Madge cried in quick
disappointment.
oh, yes" Jimmy said, 81 want to
make the exchange all right, but 1
am not sure what / will do with the
ring" He looked rather anxiously
into Madge's eyes and again Madge
laughed. Il might in turn exchange
il for a couple of nice big chairs"
"A. coupler" he questioned Madge.
You should get at least foW for
that ring"
Anything you say" he laughed
back at her. and turned serious eyes
upon her. you are going to let me
come and hear you sing" he added,
aren't your"
Madge hesitated but second. then
realizing what the outcome OF the
meeting was going to be, said quickly,
Yes, as often as you like"
Jimmy smiled happily and in his
heart thanked Robinson for disliking
public singing. and rater when she
was Jimmy's wife Madge too thanked
him, for she might never have met
Jimmy had Robinson loved music.

thing | can TO make you forget your
desire for a career"
No one could do that" Madge said,
and shook her head slowly. 1T is too
deeply rooted in my life dreams No"
she repeated, Il want my music more
than l want you-under the cOndi-
tions" She drew the beautiful dia-
mond from her finger.
Robnson's eyes flashed. His quick
anger frightened Madge.
Don't give me back THAI bauble. ''
and would only toss it into the
street" He flung himself out of the
room while Madge watched him with
feeling akin to relief.
when he had gone she fell to won
dering why she was so little affected
by the smashing up OF her first love
affair. With firmly set lips she put
the ring into her bureau drawer and
shut the romance from her life.
The following day she discovered
upon looking at her bank book that
her account was perilously near to
tottering. II was then that Madge
wept bitterly. She knew that the
piano she had rented for SO a month
must go. She could not afford it
longer That SO would be needed for
bread and butter.
When she had finished weeping she
was white and her eyes shone brill
liantIy She could not live without
piano.
Out of the depths of her misery
came the realization of the ring lying
in her drawer. 1t was a perfectly
useless jewel that meant nothing to
her and the price of which would buy
her a splendid piano! A friend of
hers had once sold a piece of jewelry
for a set of furs and Madge saw no
reason why she could not exchange
her ring in the same way.
The advertisement she put in the
paper the next day was eagerly read
by one Jimmy Canes Jimmy was in
tending to propose to Nelly Wake, but
did not feel that even Nelly was worth
going into debt for and she was the kinu
of girl who would prize an engagement
ring. Jimmy could not spend a couple
of hundred dollars just at the moment.
but he could sacrifice his piano. Nelly
was not in the least fond of music,
and much as Jimmy regretted the fact
he felt that she had other good qualities.
He sighed with unconscious wistfulness.
Jimmy had always pictured a golden
haired woman sitting at his rosewood pi-
anO with a soft light on her upturned
face while she sang to him and sOOthed
away all worries of the day. Alas for
dreams. Jimmy supposed the person
who had advertised was perhaps some
man whose girl had Tilted him and given
back his ring.
Since h0 felt more or less anxious to
get the proposal over and his future
settled. Jimmy went to the address men
toned in the advertisement
As he climbed the stairs in a Bohemian
part of the city, he paused to listen to
the voice that penetrated into the halls
from one of the rooms. II was a voice

DAILY SHORT STORY.
MUSIC AND THE DIAMOND.
By DOROTHY DOUGLAS.

tCOpynght, lSl5.l
when John Robinson courted MadSe
Atweu he did so with such whirl-
wind force that the girl was swept
completely from her feet. She had
consented to marry him and had ac-
cepted a most exquisite solitaire 10
complete the engagement.
Robinson possessed wealth ana
social standing. while Madge owned
splendid voice but scarcely the money
with which to have II cultivated. She
only regretted her poverty because
il withheld certain branches OF STUDY
from her which in the dark hours
Of the night, Madge's soul longed tor'
Never did she let the world know her
desires because the world might nlng
either pity or scorne at her, ana
Madge was proud-too proud 10 aS-
Cept help or condemnation.
When Robinson came into her life
Madge not only found herself strongly
attracted to him, but she realized also
that his money would put her before
the best instructors the world AFFORD
ed. She was not in any way merce-
nary, but she was thankful that love
and the chance for advancement had
come hand in hand. She could not be
really happy until she had won fame
for Eherself, and she loved love the
mon because it offered her her op-
portunity to succeed more quickly than
when hampered by poverty.
She had been engaged to Robinson
for two joyous weeks. particularly
trying day lay behind her and she
greeted her hance with a tired but
happy smile.
Il will be glad when you have
given up all this nerve-racking study"
John Robinson said. You are tring
yourself out, and 1 wish you would
marry me straight on, so that could
command you to give up your feverish
desire for music" He had spoken
IaughinEly, but Madge had felt rush
Of cold blood through her veins.
'I never intend to stop studying" :"
she said quickly. Nothing in the
world would make me happy without
my music. 1 intend to be a singer.
I thought you knew that" she added
and gazed wonderingly at him.
Il have always considered Il q joke
Robinson told her, and would have
drawn her into his arms to dismiss
the subject, but Madge eluded him.
IF you mean that" she said with
frm voice. II may as well tell you
I will never marry you"
Robinson grew a shade white. Il
have no desire to have my wife sing
ing in public and perhaps being away
from me just a. the time / want
her most. You will have plenty to do
