late comers should be seated. At the
opening of the third number there were
sounds of voices and footsteps In the
rear Of the house and after playing q
few bars of the extremely exacting Fan
tasia by Sehumann Paderewski left the
stage, exclaiming to his friends: mo
one protects me-"
Bach's Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue,
a tremendous test of artistry, opened the
program and was superbly rendered.
All the beauty and mystery Of the great
Sonata Apassionata was revealed by the
great artists Interpretation.
in c Major Opus IT, with It's majestically
developed themes, was played with a
scope of technique and Imagination un-
equalled. AS an encore the pianist played
a Hunting Song by Schumann.
After the difficult Fantasia, Chopin
Represented by a group of familiar COM
positions) seemed almost simple to the
pianist, but the sentiment and romance
Of the composers thoughts were dis
closed by his interpretations. With fln-
gers of velvet or iron the great artist
brought tones Of softest beauty or clang-
ing chords of vibrant power.
After the recital Nine. Paderewsld sold
her famous Refuge Dolls, made in Paris
by the clever fingers of Polish artists,
victims of the war.
Every seat in the house was taken and
many were obliged to stand during the
entire recital. NJ. ]. 8.

agery. which was rich enough In ma.
terial things, there was no conception
OF deity. or of need for one. To
what should he pray. and for what,
when he had himself to rely upon :?
Worship was an idealistic diversion. a
poetic illusion, the refuge Of the weak.
who excused their lack Of strength by
ascribing 1t to mysterious something
beyond the control of any man. He
tolerated the popular notion that there
must be God. as he tolerated codes
of social ethics; the conventions which
laid down. for instance. what gentle
man might or might not do. externally
and still remain gentleman. In the
meantime, II a man-made law came be-
tween him and the accomplishment of
his ends, he broke 1t, without q trace
Of thought that he might be wrong.
Laws we're the mutual safeguard of
the weak. to protect themselves
against the encroachment of the
strong; and 1t was in the equally nat
ural province Of the strong to break
down those safeguards. In the same
way he disregarded moral laws. They.
too. were for the upholding Of the
weak, and the mere fact that they ex-
listed was proof enough that they were
an acknowledgment of the right of the
strong to break them.
There is a mistake here It lies in
the statement that Allison recognized
no God. He did. Allison. Not Allison,
the man, but the unconquerable will Of
Allison, a will which was divinity in
itself. He believed In 1t, centered on
1t all his faith, poured out to 1t all the
fervidness of his heart, Of his mind.
of his spirit, of his body. He worshiped
It!
So 1t was that he came to the con-
sideration of the one thing which had
attempted to deny itself to him. Gail!
A flame ragged through his veins
which fairly shook him with its vio-
lence. 1t was not only the reflex of
his determination to have her, but 1t
was the terrific need Of her which had
grown up in him. Have her? OF
course he would have her! II she
would not come to him willingly. he
would take her! She was not to be
considered In 1t any more than he had
considered any other adverse factor in
the attainment of anything he had de-
sired. He was possessed Of q rage
now, which centered itself upon one
object, and one alone. Gail! She was
his new summit. his new peak. the
final one where he had planned to
rest; but now his angry thought was
to attain 1t, and spurn 1t, broken and
