A spotless bit of monogram paper lay ready for her answer to Jimmy Blake. She dipped her pen in the ink and again nibbled the end of it. Suddenly her head turned and she listaned. A voice of wonderful grandeur had burst into song. The pen in Alice's hand dropped in- differently and she stole Into her room by the open court in a desire to draw near the man's voice, Fortunately her window was partly open and Alice sank down on her couch in an abandonment of ex- quisite enjoyment. In the recess of her mind was the thought that a new tenant had moved into the apartment and that she would have the pleasure, if stolen, of hearing him sing often, Her critical ear told her that the voice, 2though of warm, rich timbre, was lacking in the minor technicall- tles and finish that would have put him on a level with the great Caruso, “He 18, no doubt, studying night and day,” Alice decided, “and I will hear him practicing.” Then over her enjoyment of the music came the certain knowledge that windows were being opened in many of the apartments on the court. It flashed upon her suddenly. The man was a street singer and those people were throwing him mgney. Alice jumped up and thrust i the window, baritone her only the top of his head.” The man had been singing the more popular arias from the operas and when he had finished the Flower Song from “Faust” Alice watched white packages that had been thrown to him, In a panic lest she be too late she rushed to her desk and took the first | bit of paper she found. Into the en- velope she thrust a bill with a yellow back and threw it hastily out of the window. voice calling: “Here!" back, picked up the envelope, and when he saw the denomination looked quickly up at the window and his sensitive, emotional face, he sang the most beautiful of Remember Me,” last appealing line, “Then you'll member me.” turn to her desk singer’s voice, “No,” she decided finally, “l can- not marry Jimmy Blake, roam the Elysslan fields wnd pluck the flowers ol the greatest fragrance, and Jimmy—" Alice smiled fully, “Jimmy would only tell me am moonstruck and take me vaudeville performance.” that Alice sent him he went out to | | | the race track and came back through | {and make his great gray racer turn turtle as he careened madly over the roads, Two, three years slipped by. Allce Lange's thoughts were not untinged with regret that she had dismissed Jimmy Blake from her trail of fol- lowers. Perhaps, after all, Elysian flelds were only possible to roam in when there was one other to share them, She had spent many vain hours in an effort to locate the man whose voice had seenied to change the en- appeared apparently and no search could find him. Allce even went go far as to follow the example of a Lon- don soclety, and had organized a great concert, at which ull the street musi- clans had an opportunity to perform |before a critical aud phllanthropic audience. 1 But she came home from the ven- ture tired and disheartened. There had been no voice with even a tenth portion of the sweetness of the one she sought. For a time she sat back and wished she had married Jimmy Blake. Then omne morning in her mall she received a ticket for the opera. There was no message with the orchestra seat well toward the stage. Alice pondered over the mysterious gitt, but not deeply, for she had often been the reciplent of seats from some of the singers.

Not until the end of the second act, when he knew that he had succeeded usual haste and pinned on the bou- ! { violets ! !even bevond his own hopes, did Gor- don Trevor send a note to the girl who had accepted his flowers, “If it does not seem like presump- tion,” he had written, “I would like to take you to supper tonight.” And when the curtain had gone down with a storm of applause and New York had welcomed a great baritone, Allce Lange Wwaited with quickly beating heart for the man who had sung In the streets. The scent of flowers from the elysian fields was in her nmostrils and Alice drew a great breath when she stood face to face with Gordon Trevor. His face was as sensitive as when she had looked down from her apart- ment window, but now there was a certain sense of happiness radiating from it. He was very much the con- queror when he took Alice’s hand within his own and the girl was pe- cullarly glad that the charm his volce had for her was duplicated in the man himselt. “I, of course, remembher you,” she sald quickly and a tritle nervously. “You deserve all the praise—" Gordon Trevor stopped her a deprecatory gesture, “It was you who finally made my study on the continent possible— your generosity sent mo ahead Just when | needed it most” ‘Trevor was piloting her into his own automobile, and when she was comfortably wrapped in furs he sank down beside her, “I am curfous,” Allce as} breathlessly becanso his 1 beginning 10 mako ftself It, you happened to remenher me?” “That was not difticult,” he sald in a low volce. “Your face, as It ap peared framed in the window above me, has always remained in my— vision, ed to be on the envelope which you thrust—" Alice stopped him quickly. * Ire- member—it was the envelope from a letter 1 was preparing to answer.” Suddenly she looked into his eyes and leaned confidingly nearer him, “Do you know, Mr. Trevor—that you saved me from marrying the wrong man—by your volce.” “Then you'll remember me” Tre vor sand softly. “Will you not?"

His wife had purchased a costume at one of the principal local drapers, but when an assistant was sent for to make certaln alterations, the latter packed it up and carrfed it back to the shop.

During & recent epidemic of spinal meningitis in Dallas, Secretary Paul Casey, of the health department, went with a sanitary inspector to raise the quarantine on a negro shack and re- move the big green sign. An old negro woman came to the door. “Now sholy, boss, you'all aln’t gwine ter take that sign down?" she asked. “Yes, we are going to remove the quarantine,” sald Casey. “Don’t you want it removed?” “No, sah, boss, ‘cause dar ain't been pary collectah ‘round heah sense dat sign was put up.” The quarantine remained.—Houston Post.
