(138 like the name of Bob, Miss 'Celia?” “Yes, of course, dear. I—I just didn't remember having heard his name. You haven't told me what he is like, Betty.” “Big as a barn. Daddy says that’s the most 'spressive thing you can say about Uncle Bob.” “Robert Mayfield is a very pretty name, isn't it?" “That's not his name. He is moth- er's brother. Now please play.” Afraid to arouse the child's suspi- cion by too many questions, Miss 'Celia tucked the violin lovingly un- der her chin and softly drew the fra- gile bow across the strings. In a min- i i Rt L ..vnlm: “It's Mighty Sad Sounding.” ute she had forgotten the rapt little | face of the child before her and was living again in her romantic past, which had been of so short duration that it often seemed as mysterious and unreal as a dream. “That's grand, Miss 'Celia.” The child's voice brought her back to the present. “It's mighty sad sounding, though. It makes cold shivers run up and down my back and 1 hurt way Mother says that sounds like 1 had the heartache, but, of course, she said, I am too little for that.” “I hope you will stay too little to know the agony,” said Miss 'Celia, suddenly wrapping her violin to put it away. “Play one jolly plece and make me feel good, Miss 'Celia, Try that one where leaves are dancing. It sounds just like the leaves do out there on the mountain when the wind blows.” “What a flatterer you are, Betty! One more, then I must stop, else the ‘people over in the hotel will be ask- ing me to move.” “No, they won't. Everybody says they love to hear you play. Old Mr. Wilson says that you can make a for- tune by playing on the stage. This is the loveliest cottage I ever saw. How long are you going to stay on the mountain, Miss 'Celia?" “I don’t know, dear. T feel as it I would like to stay here always.” “I know all the girls are charming,” sald Bob Thorne to his sister, as they went slowly up the mountain road, “but please keep them at a distance. I came down here to visit you and Betty for a week. Of course 1 will meet your friends—I don’t want to be a boor—but don’t expect any Ches- terfield stuff of me or you Wil be dis- appointed.” Betty’'s mother looked at the six teet of splendid manhood. “All right,” she said quietly and began to believe her husband's story of Bob's love affair. “I haven't seen Miss 'Cella all day. 1 wonder why she hasn't played any There, listen, Uncle Bob, that's my [ Miss "Celia playing now.” * Betty moved closer to her big un- cle where he sat on the hotel steps and lald her hand on his knee. “'Celia!” said the man “’Celia!” It was almost twilight and there was a quiet hush on the mountain. The notes of the violin came to his ears and their music was no louder than the sound of the south wind as it sighed through the pine trees and stirred the maple leaves touched with the crimson of the fall. There was the pain of an aching heart in the softly. hoarsely, “take me over to see your! Miss 'Celia.” ! “l wanted to take you this morn ing but you said you hoped you would | Betty pushed open the door and| peered in the shadows of the living| room in the cottage. “Wait,” she whispered to the man beside her, and went in alone. ! “Hello, Miss 'Celia. Let's light the candles so we can see!” . That task accomplished, Betty de-l manded more music. So it was that Just as Miss 'Celia lifted he little rosewood instrument to her shoulder Bob Thorne, finding that he could wait no longer, stepped into the glow of the candles, i “This,” said Betty proudly, “is my Miss 'Celia, Uncle Bob.” “Entirely yours?” gravely qm-stlow' ed the man as he took Miss 'Celia’s cold little hands in his own, The introduction properly effected, Betty went off in search of Miss 'Celia’'s mother and the cookies that were always ready for her, “Well,” asked the man, “is it al- ways to be just the violin, 'Celia?” His tone held the bitterness of long suffering. “Not if you—if you still want me,” answered the girl breathlessly, Then when she was clasped close to him a voice from somewhere under his chin said, “Oh, I was so afraid it wouldn't be you after all, and you wouldn't hear tonight.” *“'Celia, how did it happen? What |, has come to change you so?" “Time,"” said 'Celia, “and sorrowful loneliness. Art may be emough for some women, Bob, but I am not one of the elect.” “Elect?” scornfully. “I thought I owed it to mother to make something out of my music when I had been so carefully educat- ed. I tried harder than ever after you went away—" “After you sent me away,” he in- terrupted. “But my genius came down to merely talent and I grew discouraged. 1 broke down then, gave up my col- lege work and came to the mountains to get strong and try to forget—you. But when I met Betty 1 gave up all way of demanding things and getting what she wants.” “Not always.” There was a shadqw in the man's eyes at thought of his lonely journey over the world to fore get one face and the sound of one violin. “Don't look like that, Bob” erled the girl. “I am so much better fit- ter for you if—if you still want me.” to her entire satisfaction again how much he wanted her, ' “You know I tried to believe that I was a modern woman. 1 wanted a carcer and fame. Betty made me realize that a happy life for a woman is bounded by love and a home.” “God bless Betty,” said her uncle fervently, . “When I heard that a man was coming, and all they told me was that his name was Bob, and that he was big, I hoped, oh, you don't know ~ R.

To tell you the truth, 1 have run from the sound of a violin for a year, for the music of one always made me want you.” “You ran to it tonight.” “Only because I knew the sound of your bow on the strings, and 1 knew that 1 would find you here.
