CHAPTER XVI.

Mrs. vertrees' opportunity occurred
the very next afternoon. Darkness
had fallen, the piano movers had come.
They had carried the piano down the
front steps, and Mrs. Vertrees was
standing in the open doorway behind
them, preparing to withdraw, when she
heard sharp exclamation; and Mrs.
Roscoe Sheridan, bareheaded, emerged
from the shadow into the light of the
doorway.
"Good graciousr' she cried. at did
give me fright!'

vertrees was perplexed by this infor-
NAL appearance, but she reflected that

broke into laughter again. II suppose

"Thank you, but must be running
back. My husband usually gets home
about this time, and make little
point of it always to be there"
That's very sweet" Mrs. vertrees
descended the steps and walked to-
ward the street with Sibyl.
T'm afraid Miss vertrees will miss

added, glowing with the sense Of her

He followed her to Il seat about half
way up the aisle while Doctor Kraft
assembled to the organ. This after
noon some Handelw he turned to
shout.
Mary nodded. "will you like that?'
she asked Bibbs.
II don't know. l never heard any
except Largo don't know anything
about music. l don't even know how
to pretend do. IL knew enough to
pretend. would"
NO." said Mary, looking at him and
smiling family, ''you wouldn't"
She turned away as great sound
began to swim and tremble in the air;
the huge empty space of the church
filled with it, and the two people lis
tening filed with it; the universe
seemed to fill and thrill with it. The
two sat intensely still, the great sound
all round about them, while the church
grew dusky. and only the organist's
lamp made tiny star of light. His
white head moved from side to side be-
meath 1t rhythmically, or lunged and
recovered with the fierceness Of duel
list thrusting, but he was magnificent
ly the master of his giant, and 1t sang
to his magic as he babe 1t.
Bibbs was swept away upon that
mighty singing. Such a thing was
wholly unknown to him; there had
been no music in his meager life. Un-
like the tale, 1t was the Princess Be
drulbudour who had brought him to
the enchanted cave, and that-for
Bibbs--was what made its magic daz-
ing. 1t seemed to him long. long
time since he had been walking home
drearily from Doctor Gurney's office;
1t seemed to him that he had set out
upon a happy journey since then. and
that he had reached another planet,
where Mary vertrees and he sat alone
together, listening to vast choiring Of
invisible soldiers and holy angels.
There were armies of voices about
them, singing praise and thanksgiving;
and yet they were alone. 1t was in
credible that the walls of the church
were not the boundaries of the uni
verse, to remain so forever; incredible
that there was smoky street just yon-
der, where housemaids were bringing
in evening papers from front steps and
where children were taking their last
spins on roller skates before being
hailed indoors for dinner.
He had curious sense of communi-
cation with his new friend. He knew
1t could not be so, and yet he felt as II
all the time he spoke to her, saying:
"You hear this strain? You hear that
strain? You know the dream that these
sounds bring to me?" And 1t seemed
to him as though she answered con-
tinually: 81 hear! hear that strain,
and hear the new one that you are
hearing now. know the dream that
these sounds bring to you. Yes, yes.
I hear 1t all! We hear--togetherw
And though the church grew so dim
that all was mysterious shadow except
the vague planes of the windows and
the organist's light with the white
head moving beneath it, Bibbs had no
consciousness that the girl sitting be-
side him had grown shadowy; he
seemed to see her as plainly as ever in

Portland saw it's first road show in
something like five months, last night,
when the ever popular musical comedy
The Prince Of Pilscn, was presented at
the Jefferson theatre. That the the.
atrical patrons OF the city are hungry
for that sort Of thing was made evident
by the large house that greeted an ex.
ccllcnt presentation of this, one of the
funniest and most tuneful musical plays
that was ever written. The women
principals are all exceedingly pretty

most satisfactory manner, and is {
good actress as well as a good singer

One million people are threatened
with starvation and several hundred
thousand have been rendered home

raging along the Hwai river in China.
President Ii Yuan Hung has person

the government will doubtless make
an effort to appropriate money for the
same purpose. Chinese papers say
there will be an appalling death list
from starvation if the American Red

same performance: "The company as
sembled for this revival is carefully
selected both in its efficient principals
and its well-balauced chorus. In the
girls shapeliness has not been over
looked, and bright faces, smiling lips
and starry eyes have been standard
lied in this production. The comedy is
full of incident from start to finish,
and the accompanying music is lively
and stirring. This with the love max
ing and fun going on gives the whole
opera continuous interest. Laughter
and applause rang through the house
the entire evening, and the event was
a most suspicious opening of the regu-
lar season of high class road attrac-
tions.'
