seldom found except in children, but
in them it is nut uncommon, and it is
very contagious. The disease begins
as a round, reddish, sometimes 'scaly
spot on the scalp, and spreads in a
circle from that centre. The hair on
the affected part is dry and brittle
and breaks off, leaving a sort of stub-
ble, which has been compared to a
field of wheat or 17.0 after the crop
has been gathered, and. which, when
examined under- a„magnifying glass,
really resembles such a field. The
original spot .gradually spreads evenly
on all sides and forms a circular -batch
of baldness when the brittle hairs have
fallen out or have broken off, lease

"I'm old fogy, I suppose," mumbled
her father, in discreet retirement.
But the expression "spoiled finery"
rankled in Aunt Emeline's bosom. To
tell the teeth, she was old fogy, too.
Sometimes she thought that the styles
were not. quite modest. But then,
modest was an old -fogy word; you
rarely heard it now; "modish" seem-

dim glance at the two girls at din-

people never geessed that Jane was
not a muzician, or that the successfpl
rimming was really the outcome of
destined chance,
At the end of the week the primary
teacher returned, and Jam reeeived
a mod -ed check for hei.. services, more
—much more—she tthuoght, than her
deserts. She ,received something else,
too—the 'hearty commendation of the
principal.
"Took right hold," he told her
teachers, "Like an old hand. I like
her confidence."
Jane had always taken hold, and
her coil/donee was only thoroughness.
Besides,' all those united little treble
voices had worked a curious miracle
in Jane, -It had taken those t6 put
the feeling of music into Jane's heart.
Now her fingers fell to—caressing the
keys instead of spatting them, and
into her practice there crept a
strange, new solace. She began t
pick up, as a sort'of reereaton, old
familiar so-ngs, treating there as ,a
kind of sandwich, separating bass and
treble into the component upper and
lower croda. •
"Every musician ought to know the
old things," argued Jane. "And if
I'm going, to give Atha her chance,
I've got -to know something of all the
kinds of music theve are."
She conferred with Miss 13osivick.
"I think I ought to learn a schottish

teem has got to last me. I want

"Well," said Miss Boswick, to whore
hitherto repertoire had spelled Bach
and Schumann and the moderns, like
Scriabin and Grieg. She fingered
conscientiously and elucidated such
technical difficulties as presented
themselves in 'Jane's selection. Jane
practiced tirelessly, for by now the
school year was near the end.
At one of Jane's lessons Old Mrs.
Boswidethat veteran teacher and en-
courager of youth, applauded. vigor-
ously with frail, veined hands. Jane
had marshaled almost her entire
repertoire for that lesOon—musie both
sacred and profane. And curiously,
as she played, she seemed to herself
not to be .playing at all, but to be
sitting a little apart, like Miss Bose
wick, and listening to Julia.
'Celia Boswick,t' ' exclaimed her
mother when Jane had gone, "didn't
you tell me last fall that that girl was
quite hopelese? I thought to -day she
played with reale appreciation."
"It is surprising," assented Miss
Boswick, "for she him% much natural
ability. And even now, in the large,
music will always remain a sealed
book Lo her." ,
Old Mrs. Boswick eyed her wisely.
•Don'tobe too sure about 'in the large.'
If I slen't mistake, your hopeless little
pupil -twill have the thentroside for

,Jane had the coentryside, for the
neagre little hill country boasted few
instruments and fewer performers.
Jane had useraingular perspicuity in
selecting her hympe, which were fame
iliarones to country congregations.

not Julia only. For a modest tenn-I
pensation Jane traded through thei
summer afternoons in this strange
new commodity of 'hers. She always'
remained modest, characteristically,
aware of her limitations, but aware
also of her solid groupding in the
ftnelamentals of her art, of which the
underlying, basic pt•inciple had bean
nothing less than .f.ulia's chance.
