DAILY SHORT STOR! STICKS FIDDLE By Colette Baynes. RS.BLAKE hurried into the living room at her Takoma Park home, attracted by the sound of music. “Joan, darling, do my ears play tricks or is it really your fiddle I hear again?” Joan's dark eves widened innocently. It is, mother,” sb eaid softly. “Ilove the music so and I thought you'd like me to prac- tice. 4 “Well, that’s : sweet of you, but you've done SO much of it lately and— Didn’t Norma and Dick go out to the lake again without o yo“-lYes. mother, they did, but I like it here with just my music and the| peacefulness of home.

She smiled at her- self and her lips formed a word, | “Dick.” And there was her violin lying so casually on the piano. The | click of the bridge lamp going out | eounded simultaneously with Norma's cheerful voice in the hall | “Hello, Mrs. Blake,” and as she came nearer, “Hey, Joan, where are you?

Didn't mean to getl in your hair, I'll put the darn thing off again if you'd| rather.” She reached up her hand for the metal button. “I just thought you— Joan! You've really taken out yuur} fiddle again. Gee, I haven’t heard you play that in years. Will you? I used to go for it.” | Dick smiled at Joan. charming! Pleese.” Joan shrugged her shoulders and | laughed, “Oh, that. Really I don't think I could. I haven't touched it in months.” She spoke further as she took up the violin and listened care- fully for its tone. k%% NORMA'S voice interrupted the process. “Those things always! sound funny when you tune 'em, don't “It would be | | they?” | Joan gave Norma what the latter would call a dirty look, but one which instantly changed itself at Dick’s puzzled glance into an unspoken mes- sage, appealing, personal—for him. | Then she began to play. There was a thrilling intensity in her music, a| buoyant smoothness like the quick flight of a wild bird. It became subdued, a tender murmur hispering across the room. Now she played to Dick alone. Even when she had stopped an appreciation hushed all sound. Putting down her fiddle she turned to them and, seeing Dick's face, she knew she had won. “Don’t stop,” his low voice pleaded. “Play for us more, Joan.” * which she con- the last word in creating atmosphere.

If it hadn't been for your playing to us like that just now—well, we probably would never haye real- ized.” “Perhaps,” asked Norm, you'll play for us at our engagement party.” | Joan looked at her suspiciou: don't,” she said, “like engagement parties and.” she added vehemently as she turned from the room, “I loathe violins.” i (Copyright, 1936.)
