1.-THE LOVE THAT LIVED"

Rosa zelda came into her room at
the hotel, shut the door and threw
off her heavy fur coat with a sigh Of
satisfaction. She was the star" of
the comic opera playing a weeks
stand in the western city. After di-
vesting herself of hat and wrap she
took down a comfortable kimOna, in
tending to take a rest. The matinee
was just over and she felt the need
Of some relaxation before the even
ing performance. As she stretched
herself on the couch she became
aware Of the dOlefUl tones Of a violin
played by an amateurish performer.
Heavens" she said to herself. IF
[ have to listen to that I'll go mad
It's in the next room, too"
She tried to think what she could
do. She would ask them to change
her room; but here were her things
all Unpacked and her maid wouldn't
appear until evening, as she had let
her go out to buy some necessary
articles for her. Well, she would have
10 grin and bear it.
Next she became aware that the
boy or girl, or whoever the Of
fender was, was trying to play one
Of her songs. 1t had a haunting mel
ody and was called THE Love That
Lived" She liked it better than any
thing else she sang in the opera, and
it brought her most applause. The
player in the next room would get
through the first two bars success
fully, fall off on the wrong note on
the third and come to complete dis
asteT in the fourth. But he did not
give it up. He seemed possessed with
an almost Uncanny determination to
succeed. Evidently he knew he was
