CHAPTER XIII.

II in the mountains there was one
person of whom the Blue Grass knew
with favor. it was Juanita Holland.
She had worked quietly and without
any blare of trumpets. Her efforts had
never been advertised. but the thing
she was trying to do was too unusual
a thing to have escaped public no
tice and public laudation. That she
was spending her life and her own
large fortune in a manner of self-sacri-
fee and hardship was a thing of which
the state had been duly appraised.
She. at least. would stand acquitted
of feudal passion. She stood as a lone
fighter for the spirit Of all that was
best and most unselfsh In Kentucky
ideals and the ideals Of civilization.
II she chose to come now as a wit
ness for Anse Havey. she should
have a respectful hearing. The pris.
oner bent forward and fixed eyes hlaz-
ing with excitement on the door OF
the witness room He saw it open and
saw her pause there, pale and rather
perplexed. then she came steadily to
the witness stand and asked: DO |
sit here?"
The man had known her always In
the calico and Bingham of the O
tains. This seemed a different wom-
an who took her seat and raised her
hand to be sworn. She was infinitely
more beautiful he thought. in the ha.
biliments of her own world. She
seemed a queen who had waived her
regal %prerogatives and come into this
mean courtroom in his behalf.
His heart lesped into tumult. He
would not hcve asked her to come:
would not have permitted her to sub.

had come, however, anyway-perhaps,
after all. she cared! II so, 1t was q
revelation worth hanging for.
Then he heard her voice low and
unsteady pitched in answer to ques.

an who had come through the ordeal

his face gave way to a smile of in
finite admiration. Juanita Hollands

Anse Havey clenched his hands under
the table. while his fingers itched to
seize the tormentor's throat.
"You don't know that Anse Hayev

OF setting il when he faced a forlorn

A noteworthy feature of the coming
performances OF the San Carlo Grand
Opera company at the Auditorium
will be the magnificent new scenic
investiture and the splendid cos
tuning The San Carlo organization
has repertoire of some fifteen
operas. Shortly after the termination
of the lol5-l6 tour of the company,
which ended April at Harrisburg,
the entire equipment for these pro-
auctions was placed in one of New
York City's largest storage ware
houses. A fire which occurred in July
destroyed the building and its con-
tents, involving the loss Of the San
Carlo scenic effects.
1t required the services Of expert
scenic artists a period of more than
sixty days to reconstruct and paint
the big pieces which now constitute
the equipment of the San Carlo or
ganization in this respect, while noted
opera costumers of Italy were en-
gagged to design and furnish an en-
tirely new and costly wardrobe for
the many productions sung by the
company upon its present trans

leaving it as he would not have left
any composition he ever wrote. The
shock and tragedy of it spread ever
widening circles over the surface of
our usually tranquil existence, and
cast a gloom wherever the music and
activity or jollity of this CHEEKY little
man were known He was a thorough
musician, and held a high place in
Omaha's musical life, yet the very
points in his character which made
his music so worth while were the
ones which accentuated the difficult
ties OF life for him. Intensely idealis-
tic. the real was bound to be a dis
appointment i'll comparison. Yet it
was this very idealism which fired his
creative ability, and helped him to
be able to translate. into tones the
beautiful ideas it brought to him and
which gave his compositions worth

efforts to attain those heights he saw
before him Keenly sensitive to appre-
ciatien or neglect, through this same
idealism, he often experienced dis
couragement or disappointment when
people or circumstances did not come
up to his high expectations OF them.
For the best and greatest music he
had an unbounded enthusiasm, and he
was widely conversant with the finest
literature OF all forms and periods OF
the art. He greatly valued the classics,
but would have none of the modern
compositions except that in which he
could, find genuine and sustained
merit, permitting the use of nothing
but the best in his teaching. He knew
music well not only from an aesthetic
but from a practical side, and whether

But now he has gone, and the
theme OF his life will not recur again

though we'll have no more bright
tones awakened by his touch, no more
new compositions from his pen, the
influence of his high ideals in music

work will long remain. Practically all
