Every afternoon for a week she had hurried home to sew, and every stitch must be made by hand—and yet, there was another and | a stronger call that turned her feet toward Fourth avenue. Elsle Chapin ylelded to the last call and went. | Perhaps it was laughable that a| quiet little dovelike stenographer | could find delight in poking about | among the second-hand shops ori Fourth avenue after a day spent in| transeribing dull business letters on | a clattering typewriter. It was true,i however. Whatever of color and ro-| mance came into her lonely life was furnished by the multitude of lovely and curfous articles in these antique shops. There was food for fancy in the an- clent pewter dishes and the willow pattern china; a chair that had be- longed to some long-dead personage; perhaps a bedstead upon which royalty bad slumbered in a distant land; tall clocks that had marked the days of forgotten lives; an empty jewel cas: ket; a plece of rich tapestry—there was & story in every article, and Elsle . | pald her the money. of the attendants called her attention to some newly acquired article, always assured of her fnterest and appreciation. They could not kmnow that in the days before her unfortunate father's failure in business and his subsequent death, there had been many treasures in her own home. Bhe was alone now and, perforce, con- tent with looking at the belongings of other people. There was an ancient escritoir with a fascinating number of pigeon holes and secret drawers that attracted El- sle this afternoon. She was standing there, wondering If within some still concealed compartment there might not bo a bundle of oll love letters tied about with a blue ribbon which would fall to pleces at a touch. There might be a withered rose or a wrinkled , Mitle glove, some relie of a bygone ro- | mance From her dim corner behind the escritoir Elste was roused to ook to ward the front of the shop where the propri was in conversation with a sloender, dreamy exed younz man who Was holding a violin to the lght “It ks oan Amatitt o prote Young raan “AI violins are Am fus, " roplied the Iy Mr for i the ti or Stradivar proprictor ske | give 1 buy it t like to hand rou flonr which | cployed to, ® ing from some long Hlness or ! e athicientis nourished s tender heart was wriane with vy oat this little ragedy ben acted betore b AMany tines had read tragedies and romar the antiques of her Now she was witnessing breaking drama Fascinated. she saw the pr count out a roll of bills to the ist, and triumphantly bow out 1o de Jected young man Ry the tlme the proprictor } turned to the violln Elsie was «tang ing beside him “This 1s for sale®” etly. | He nodded. | man?" | I “Yes—I heard what was said " «he | returned. | ‘ “You did!"

She had parted with half of her savings it had taken her two years to accumulate, but some- how she felt supremely happy. She was about to make someone very happy, too. She callel up one after another cof the hospitals until she discovered the one wherein Spohr had been confined. There she learned his address and entering a subway train, she was soon at her destination. It proved to be a lodging house in a very cheap quarter of the west side. When sghe rang the bell and asked for Mr. Spohr, the sharp-voiced landlady eyed her Keenly. “I gness he's up to his room. Third floor front hall. He ain't thinking of giving lessons here—because [ won't have it,” she rasped, stepping aside {cr the girl to pass ber. “I think not—" Elsle was begin- ning. when there came a step on the stairs, and she looked up to see Spohr coming down. He was without a hat, and In his hand he carried some money. The eyes of the landlady fas- tened avidly upon the money. “Did you want to see me, Spohr?” she asked meaningly. “It you please,” he sald gravely, and She was instant- ly overcome with servile politeness. “Thank you so much, Mr. Spebr!” she gushed. “This young lady wishes to see you—you may use the parlor 1t you wish.” SBhe opened the door of a stuffy red-plusbed room, and the violinist with unmasked surprise on bis face, stood aside while Elste flut- tered past bim fato the dlngy room. “You wished to see me?” he asked gently. Eiste nodded. She was frightened now that she was in his preseace. Sbe had not realised that he was so tall and commanding of presence, or thet his volce was so rich and vibrant. He looked proud, too. What would he say to her when she explained her er rand? What be did say to her {n his amased surprise neither of them ever remem- bered. When they parted it was with the sweet knowledge that each had found a friend. Gustav Spohr had ex- pressed his gratitude so delicately, so gracefully, that Elsfe parted from him without one doubt as the wisdom of her impulsive action. He had told her gently that he treasured her kindliness above everything that had ever hap- pened to him, and that the return of his violin wonld enable him to resume his positlon with the large theater or- chestra of which he had once bheen so- lof<t: with the renewal of his health be wou'd not only rezain that position, it later on hoped to appear in con- t there were many htful m st Chapin it of dre ny tines sl hr play yment a pleasant mail, and Gustav | e sent her and she was when the debt The oblpzation, he sald, er con e pa'd he day they were married, fi’l\m\'} k Elsic to her euriosity shop and, to which she loved, and behind which had been hidden when she first | him, | can't find any old love letters or Gustav,” Onee o on thy disapyointed TOSE she 1w had thoro ran- | %ked the secret hiding place of the k Never mind” he v own love letters for our awdehildren to find and tell them + stery of your old curiosity shop, 1 how you found a hushand there! red, “hide Roof Sprinkling.
