relief when the second appearance of
Frank in our little city showed him
in the light Of a chaurauqua singer

compositions, won my aunt, took his
bride, and here am. Suppose you take
a glance at the other envelope that

Mae, speechlessly, laid down the
STORY of my life and fingered the
small envelope, which held another sur

When she could pull herself together
sufficiently she read the little note ac-

After this outburst, Mae Hope, a
would-be song writer, sank into
chair, thrust bulky envelope from the
Frank Charity Music Publishers into
her desk, and sat hopelessly gazing at
the small epistle from the same office
and with slight touch of humor and
a faint suggestion of a smile, recited
the contents OF that letter-not
through the envelope, which she had
not opened, but from memory:
"Sorry. Miss Hope, that this is not
yet quite up TO the standard. but sim
cerely trust you will not be discour-
aged, etc, etc"
For three years Miss Hope had been
receiving these distressing notes from
the genial young publisher, who could
not summon the courage to advise her
TO give up. Perhaps he realized it was
merely case Of humoring an imag-
mary talent rather than attempting TO
