- Nellie Hastings. Nellie had
great, lustrous eyes. When Eel
don recited his own poetry she
would gaze intently into his face
with rapt expression, as If
thinking of a new hat she would like
to buy. And probably she was.
When he finished reciting she would
be silent moment and then murmur !:
"How exquisite!" She didn't say what
was exquisite, but Feldon thought he
knew. But would wager little on
the hat.
Feldon's family and / looked on his
romance with extreme disfavor. But
he would brook no criticism from his
relatives. That was why he happened
to be lodging with me in the studio,
temporarily. Being only friend I
knew Feldon much better than his
family did and was wise enough not
~ show my disfavor for his suit.
knew Nellie, too, and felt sure her
tnion with Feldon would not be best
for all concerned. Feldon was really a
fine chap. He was original. He did
not even initiate other men in their
vices, as most otherwise original men
do. He had fine scorn for philander-
ing and excesses. He did not love to
eat and drink or indulge in any other
common appetite. His appetites were
spiritual. I felt sure the girl for him
would have to be modern Pallas.
But that is just what he thought
Nellie was.
"She has a wonderful soulg" he
would cry. at looks out of her eyes.
Every glance is lyric, every steadfast
gaze perfect poem"
When a man who tells you his love
is too deep for words gushes forth like
tnat about thirty times day it usual
ly ends in a life sentence. There's no
saving him.
Still we tried hard, the family and l.
The family pleaded, stormed and
threatened. I tried sundry strategic
moves. But all proved futile. Feldon
and Nellie decided to marry in May.
They wouldn't be married in June be-
cause so many people get married
then. It was early in February when
they definitely decided on the date, and
then the family and I lost hope.
But a few days later he cam0 in
looking so agitated I felt hopeful of
calamitouS news. His hair waS di-
sheveled, his collar awry, his tie bump
backed. He paid no attention TO me,
but began at once to pace the floor
feverishly, muttering unintelligibly as
he walked and stopping frequently to
claw his hair frenzledly. waited pa
tiently for the floodgates to burst, but
nothing happened. Occasionally be
would stare at me, but did not seem
to see me. Finally he sat and began
to write. I could not restrain an ex-
clamation of profound disgust.
$50 it's mere poem you're working
on?" I sneered. II thought something
had happened"
He looked up dazedly moment
Then he seemed to recall where he was
and that I was human being. Then
his excitement flooded back.
"A mere pOem?" he cried. "This
poem should be AN echo and light
unto eternity It should symbolixe the
most perfect love which ever existed

am to pour out my heart in a poem to
Nellie and she hers in a poem to me"
"The deuce you sayw I exclaimed.
II didn't know she wrote such stuff"
Her every thought is a poem," he
declared.
For a week, Feldon labored inces-
sanity over that poem. He would hop
out Of bed in the middle Of the night
to change word or put in comma,
He revised it a dozen times every day.
1t was a truly beautiful thing when
he sent it away by messenger the
morning of st. Valentines day. The
same messenger brought back Nellies
valentine.
What sounded like the gasps of q
dying man called me to Feldon's side
five minutes later. He had fallen back
pale and limp, on a couch. I propped
up his head and ran for stimulant
but he waved me away.
Don't save me-" he pleaded. Life
is all too taunting a mockery.

responsive to harmony and melody and
beauty and symmetry. But just lOoh
what she wrote!'
He held up Nellie's valentine, and
read:
This valentine
To you doth say
I'm yours all the time
For ever and for aye;
So when this you see
Do not forget
To remember me
Your own
Nel-lee..
I read the valentine through twice
believing saw possibilities in it. Eel
don groaned steadily the while.

The MuSOL0
The New Popular Talking Machine

Made and guaranteed by
the Aeolian Company.
For many months the
problem of producing a talk
ing machine of large cabinet
size, and of excellent tonal
capacity, yet at a very pop
ular price, had been under
consideration by the Vocal
ion Company.
OF course an instrument
of this type to justify the
support of the Aeolian name
and guarantee had to display
real merit-genuine musical
worth. A year ago the con-
struction of such an instru-
ment within reasonable price
limits seemed hopeless.
Nevertheless it is to-day an
accomplished task.

turc skill and scientific
knowledge have been en-
ployed that have created the
many other famous Aeolian
musical instruments-and of
these it is notable that every
one is supreme to-day in its
field.
The Musola is equipped
with an improved sound-box
and tone-arm which produce
a fine full, sweet tone from
any standard make record,
whether of the lateral-cut or
hill-and-dale type.
The tone ampli6cr or horn
is scientifically correct in
material and proportions. 1t
delivers a large tone volume,
very true and natural in
quality.
The Musola motor is of
the Swiss type. 1t is one of
the sturdiest and most reli-
able talking machine motors
ever made. The high quality
of this motor is an indication
of the several standards to
which every important Mu-
sola part has been made to
measure up.
Handsomely cased in a
cabinet of simple and digni-
fed lines and beautifully
finished, the Musola is an
Aeolian triu-1ph-a wonder

chine. At its price of 500,
it is beyond question the
most remarkable value in
the musical instrument field
to-day.

Singing Men Are Fighting Men.

The power of music has long been
extolled by people who have made
that field of art their chosen work.
What Is of unusual interest, however,
Is the fact that an appreciation of its
value as a builder of strength and
courage was voiced by an officer In
the army. At the opening day Of the
officers training camp at Plattsburg,
\. Y, General Bell, one of the officers
at the head of the training corps, made
an address before the men gathered
there, emphasizing the seriousness of
the work undertaken by them. During
the course of the talk he made the fol-
lowing statements:
"A soldier must think only of his
duty and do II In way that all who
survive him will be proud of the way
he gave up his life. You know whom
we are going To fight. German soldiers
sing while they march. ! want you
to see that our army beats them ut
their own game, for singing men are
fighting men"
