nothing, but vic asked him not to
question her. as 1t was Isagrecabie,

very happy and he stuck TO his promise
not to allude to her past. About month
before this she had received n letter
from America, which she had burned
after she had read it and turned deadly
white. A week before he had found n
line of dancing men chalked on the

One night when all was still IN the
attic and Twinkle Ewes and his wife
were sound asleep, Silver Coat awoke
and saw that the moon was shining into
the attic, making it as bright as day.
Now Silver Coat had a secret. He
had found a little hole under one win
dow where he could get out and run
down the side OF the house and into
the yard But he had never done
more than run down and back, for he
was afraid puss might see him.
But now 1t was night time and he
was quite certain that puss must be
down stairs in the kitchen or the pam
try; so Silver Coat decided il would
be a good time to explore the yard.

EThere is no more interesting and
attract offering in the pianistic
world today than the programs of mu-
sic for two pianos given by Guy Maier
and Lee Pattison. Music of this de-
scription had been neglected by both
performers and composers fo~ num-
Der of years until Ossip Gabrilowitsch
and Harold Bauer revived an interest
in it a few seasons back by the re-
citals which they gave in Aeolian hall,
New York. but owing to their numer-
GUS individual engagements and the
acceptance shortly afterwarf. of the
conductorship of the Detroit orchestra
by Gabrilowitsch, their performances
were limited in number and it re-
manned for Mr.. Maier and Mr.. Patti
son to do the real missionary work.
The younger artists who are of the
same age and who studied together
not only at the New England Conser-
vatory of Music at Boston, but also
under Arthur Schnabe1 in Berlin, have
devoted their efforts almost exclu
siveIy to programs of this nature. Con-
sequently they have gone much far

ear many neglected compositions
of her day, but have discovered

composers. At their first recital given
in London last June they played Moth
