They bad left part of their mer to assist the natives in rebullding their adobe houses, others were carrying fresh supplies in trom the nearest Gult Port town, the county seat of Rio Mar. Anxious to clear preliminaries and hasten the building of the dams, Big Tom had chartered a trawler and with Judith and Norman was heading for Galveston, trom where they could motor to their homes in Houston. +. The two men were pacing the deck with after dinner cigars while Jud- ith watched the moon rise, then, turning watched it lay shadow pat- terns on the deck, angles, quadran- gles, squares and quadrilaterals. | She smiled whimsically, any other girl would have found poetic fancy in the delicate tracery of ship's rig- ‘on slanting boards. It remind- ‘ed her of her difference in otber ‘Ways. She wondered how this would affect her future with Norman. » Marri she reasoned, wasn't as- ‘surance of life-long happiness. Per- haps, like the Rio Diablo, it needed ‘& dam to control its storm currents. Bbe might apply her engineering ex- perience on hers, make a topograph- ical map of the characteristic dit- ferences between her disposition and Norman's. Big Tom would know to a cubic Yard how much rock and cement “Mt would take to hold the tod Waters in place, Perhaps she might rm how mach patience and for- ance Was necessary to check a ‘Quarrel. Judith looked down and shud- Gered. There mn the wed-like lines of Shadows tay a perfect triangle cast by three harman beings, Black barred and silver rimmed, it defied her en- neering logic to admit three ver- eal figures could cast such & shadow. “Cold, Juaith?” Before she could answer, one bar lizsolved, ard the other two merged. he ~ “don’t tell me you're one of f women who think.” + “On Mondays and Fridays at ofne . M.," she essured him solemnly, “And this ts Friday. Mind telling Me your thought for tonight?” even if you do try to cut off the curl—" “And you have the most amazing eyes. [ look at your dark hair and lashes and expect to see black, hazel, even dark blue eyes and then up } J" come the lashes and those clear grey—" “Please be serious.” “1 am, when will you marry me?” “Most anytime, I suppose we | should wait—” “Considering the importance of a perfect stenographer we'll have to give Big Tom at least a month's no- tice.” “Notice,” faltered Judith. “But Norman, that is archaic, women don’t give up their professions to | marry.” “Stenographers do.” Judith thought quickly, “if only I were a lawyer like he {s, or a doc- tor, or an engineer as I wanted to be.” “Norman,” she said, choose marriage to you or my work?” . UDITH waited for him to answer | her question. Must she choose be- tween marrying him or going on *] WAS just thinking that for me * to marry fs like commfting big- ‘amy.

Suppose I marry her.” Judith laughed. “I wish we knew other better. I know you have snest Bet of Scotch-American tm the world.

Clia had said he had comparatively little money, his fa- ther having left what property they had to Mrs. Dale. She felt a rush of bitterness as she reallzed that her generous sal ‘ary, coming in as a professional! fee, might be acceptable where a stenog- rapher’s salary would be taboo. ‘The trawler swished through the | water with a gentle undulating mo- tion, a slow breeze hummed through the fore rigging. “A choice?” he questioned. “No, Judy, I want you regardless.” Tt was a concession. Remember- ing Clia’s picture of their social po- sition in the eity, it was @ tremen- dous concession and it was given with such gentle generosity, it swept away Judith’s arguments. She felt she could afford to match his generosity—"“if you'll be patient while I fearr to adjust myself to home life, I'll try.” “That's sporting, Judy,” he re sponded gravely. “I don’t mean to belittle your work as @ business wo- man. I've seen enough on this trip to make me realize your importance, “But Judy-girl, 1 watched you among the native children. You no@ ticed they were suffering from mal- nutrition before you even looked at the Rio Diablo, and yon made Big Tom wait to dictate an important letter until you'd rousied out the cook and had him unpack the milk té feed the babies. | realized then . | You Were more the woman than the stenographer, and given a home you'd be contented.” Judith thotght of a aumber‘ot re plies.

Heretofore Judith had approved | of Clia’s wisdom but of course, she reasoned now, Clia hadn't been mar ried to Norman, so—“I'll speak to Big Tom in the morning,” she said, She did speak to Bevins the fol I lowing morning as they had break- fast on the after deck under an im- provised awning. He didn't seem surprised, and when she commented on this he laughed. (Copyright, 193. Jeanne Bowman) STEAMSHIP Co.

But at the request of the | management I learned it so as to be an understudy in it for the great artist and during his life I used to sing it two or three times each sea- son. Since his death, however, I have sung it oftener than any other part—in fact, so far as my entire career is concerned, I have sung it oftener than any réle except that of Radames in “Aida.” It may be that the first Vitaphone, in 1926, was of me sing- ing “Ridi, pagliaccio.” I have rea- son to remember it. Warner Broth- ers wanted me to take the contract on a percentage basis. I thought @ bird in hand was worth two in the bush and took a lump sum. That picture has netted, I am told, over a half million dollars and has been shown in every country in the world where there is a silver screen. That is a kind of thing which makes an artist very, very sad. “Pagliacc! English as “Clowns.” In the begin- ning it was called “Pagliaccio”— singular—but that fine artist, Victor Maurel, who was chosen as the orig- inal Tonio, because he wanted his part “fattened,” as they say, brought about two changes, one of them very important. For him, after the opera was finished Leoncavallo wrote the fam- ous Prologue, sung by Tonio before the rise of the curtain and as pop- ular with baritones as “Ridi, pagli- accio” is with tenors, and for him he also pluralized the title. “Pagitacci” and “Cavalleria Rus-. ticana” have been sung so often on the same the world over and always with such financial suc- cess that they have been christened “The Heavenly Twins” by more than one grateful impresario. In 1890 M: i won with “Cav- alleria Rusticana” the Ricordi prize for a one-act opera. Two years jater Leoncavallo won a prize from ight 1934 by Metropolitan Opera seat ‘Association. Incorporated THE KEY WEST Years ago when I first came to] 4 Mishkin Giovanni Martinelli as Canto the rival publishing house of Son- zogno with “Pagliac Leoncavallo wrdte not only the music but the libretto of his opera and while the.story is not original with him, he took it from an actual tragedy which occurred in his na- tive town when he was a boy and his father was presiding judge at the trial of the unfortunate mum- mer who was to be immortalized as Canio. Story of “Pagliacci” The scene is a little village in ‘Calabria during the festivities of the Feast of the Assumption, an im- portant church holiday. A group of strolling players set up their por- table theatre in the village and pre- pare for the evening’s performance. Canio, the chief of the company, is drinkthg m the tavern while Tonio, the hunchback clown, makes love to Neda, Canio’s pretty wife. She gives him a horse-whipping for his pains and he departs swearing ven- geance. cast This Saturday Spying on her he discovers that is to elope thet night with Silvio, a Wealthy and hand- some farmer. He betrays the lovers ene § drives his heart. Stivio rushes from the au- distraught Canio murmurs brok- enly, “La commedia ¢ finita”—“The ‘play is ended.” ‘Tibbett to Sing Tonio White I confess that “Pagliacci” is not my favorite opéra, as an opera, the role of Canio is one of find “theatrical hoekum” in its ap- peal to the public but that appeal is very real. The music fs att¥active. Besides the Prologue and the “Ridi, pagiiaccio” there are the effective choruses ana Nedda’s “Bird Song” and Beppe’s off-stage Serenade the first act. And particularly effec- tive in the second act Is the quaint little old-world Gavotte which ac- companies the action of the little play. In every sense of the word the opera, musically and drama- tieally, fs ‘good theatre. ‘Singing With ime fa the cast will be Queena Mario as Ne@da; Law- rence Tibbett as Tonto; Alfto Tedes- co as Beppe; and George Cehanov- sky as Silvio.
