heard something of the storm of the
night of his return, could catch faint
expression of the horror which for a
few moments had shone out of her
strangely brilliant eyes. Then again
there was no theme in what she play
ed. He felt himself cut off. Her own
terror was passing with the increas-
ing clamor of the music she was draw
ing from the hidden places of her
mind. He felt himself forgotten. Per-

She stopped suddenly and leaned
towards him. Her fingers were play

again and was silent.

"Not a great artist-never that-but
I might have learned that wonderful
gift-expression. I have sister who
plays divinely. She always says that
I kept my music teacher too long.
The business of making real music
is a wild business. It is only the very
great ones Of the world who can ac-

some more, my host. How will they

ly. "After all, that injection may mean
