Cantratice ched CGlory of lZcr: Life in Making One Paor Soul Happy. By VICTOR RADCLIFFE. A beautiful young woman standing at the window of a drawing room, superbly furnished, a young man lean- ing towards her, tall, aristocratic look- ing, graceful and composed and with a fine intellectual face—this was the picture. The day was sadly dying, all nature dim and sere, and a weird mournfulness attached to the actors fn a vital life drama and their envi- ‘ronment. This was White Shadows, with princely hospitality known far and wide to the polite world of its district. The young man was the brother and the lonely girl the warmest friend of widowed Beatrice Lane. “You are determined Lura?”’ the young man was saying, ever so slight a shade of coldness showed in the delicate curve of his finely chiseled lips. Lura Belden lifted both hands clasped in a pleading, distressed way. Her eyes were tender, her voice gen- tle and appealing. “Elwyn,” she said softly, but with intense eagerness, “it is only two bright years of my life that I ask, | not for myself—just for art's sake | and—and for others.” “Then it is good-bye,” definitely re- sponded Elwyn Durand, almost harsh- ly. “The lure of applause, the dower of gold—must I meet it at every step? It is unworthy of you to throw self | and fame into the frall scales as against the love of a true and honest heart o , you do not understand,” cried | Lura, but he was gone. She sank to ’o‘o, She Sank to the Window Seat. the window seat and watched the dull, ! dark sun go down in a veil of misty i gloom, Her eyes stared straight | ahead as though life had suddenly | become & void, happiness a mockery ; and love a lie. “The songbird, Lura," thus they had called her, and truly—she of the rapt, | glorious voice, whose varied accents | thrilled the men and drove women to tears, soothing wonder-eyed little ones | to placid sleep and making all the world love her. The gift had been born with Lura. When a great business crash had |wrenched from her mother a royal | fortune she had come to the rescue with her peerless voice. First her public singing had been confined to special programmes at the homes of the wealthy of her own set, where she was an honored guest. Then twice she had sung with a great opera com~ pany to fill the place of a cantatrice suddenly taken ill. She had won laurels unexpected, the public prints discovered a real» imperatrice. Offers had come to her | that were bewildering to her girlish mind. “Only two years, Elwyn!” she had pleaded to her flance. “It will mean | 50 much to those I love and cherish.” | But, proud as Lucifer in the con- | sclousness of an ancestry harking back to diplomats, great money kings | and even earls, in the first flush o(! sentiment Elwyn Durand had thrown | away the happiness of two lives ruth- | lessly. So Lura told nothing that she might | have tcld, even to her dear friend, Beatrice. Durand went abroad, wan- dered in odd foreign spots, returned home, and wearying of all wealth might buy of folly became interested in a great humane industrial housing plan. Lura at the end of two years settled | down into a quiet retired life, giving \hcr entire devotion to her invalid mother. Life's darkest hour came to her when the mother dicd.

It affected her throat, an operation was necessary, and the peerless cantatrice will never sing a | note again. ‘I have reached the glory | {of my life in waking one poor soul | happy in its darkest need,’ she nmow says.” A humbled man, Elwyn Durand sought out Lura the next day. He| found her at a hall where an exhibit of art and needlework of her pension- ers was in progress. And there, her sweet, patient face encouraging him, | | daily for the last four years. shysiclan invited Durand to call at | his home to talk over old times.

He was a man of strong purposes. His was a soul first ideal. “It is a rather queer coincidence, but I have a patient who Las been following somewhat in your line of humanitarian work,” proceeded the doctor. “It is a woman—the most noble of God's creatures—There is 8 call from my office.” Dr. Witherell crossed a hall into his consultation room. When he came out he ushered a lady to the front door. At a sight of her Durand’s face grew white as marble. “Doctor,” he gasped, “Miss Lura Belden,” friend. “Yes, yes, 1 know,” uttered Durand. incoherently; “but who—what is she now?" “A being with a great soul,” replied the doctor reverently. “She is the lady I told you of. Born with a voice that must have come to her from an angel, she was for two years a leading operatic singer. Some trouble of nead relatives demanded the great sacrifice. Her insisting on an operatic career “that lady!” replied his she loved and herself. Although for- ever parted, out of respect for him she has given up her career. For over a year she has been the argel of mercy of one of the poorest dis- tricts of the city. She has sang only at the settlement clubs. A month ago a little child who heard her sing, dying of a malignant throat disease, begged her mother to ask ‘the boofer lady’ to come {o her. I warned her not to go. Miss Belden ignored my advice. She remained nursing the little one till the child died. They tell me that she passed away with rapturous ecstacy on her face, while her loving nurse softly sung her favorite melody. It was Miss Mercer's last song.” “Why, what do you mean?” ques- tioned Durand. “She contracted the discase from he told of the great love that had | never dimmed, and they went down to the street. Went down to a new life, mutually blessed, to be together as man and wife, helpers of the poor and op- pressed; guides to the unfortunate, the idols of happy, grateful children. Lura had indeed sung her last song, but in their souls love was singing all the years leag. (Copyrh,ht 1913, by W. G. Chapman.) LIVED WITH HEART EXPOSED Case of Canadian Regarded as Unique . by Physicians Who Witnessed the Phenomena. Joseph Carey, whose case was re garded as unique by the medical pro- fession, died at St. John, N. B. Carey underwent an operation in Boston six years ago for lung trouble, and part of the left lung was removed. In per- forming the operation it was found necessary to remove several of the ribs, leaving the heart partly exposed. The beats of the heart could be seen plainly through the thin tissues which covered that organ, and many physi- cians took advantage of the opportu- nity to study its action while at its accustomed work in the body of a liv- ing man. Carey recovered his usual health fol- lowing the operation and had worked A New Phenomenon. A new phenomenon has been ob- served by Professor Righi to which he gives the name of lono-magnetic rotation. If a spark from a condenser of considerable capacity is sent hori zontally through a gas and two sm:\ll} vertical vanes of mica in the form oh a cross are suspended in the middle ot. the discharge by a fine fiber attached | to the center of the cross, the spark | produces no rotation of the cross. If, however, a vertical magnetic field is established in the g2s, the cross ro- tates through a considerable angle it the gas is air, and over a small angle in cther gases. Professor Righi as. cribes tn s rotation to the bending ot the 1 ctrons, and iitional protection w n ,\l'\l.l'l or el the other in t! obs rved rotatio nt hat the effects of the positive jons are in gen- eral greater than those of the nega- tive. | —— Climbing the Alps, !
