Why, thought jean CatnaY, had

What had she aver found hews but
heartbreak? There was heartbreak
in every whisper of 'tlie palm trees, in

languorously on the breath of the still

She shuddered away erom the
thought of Hugo Smarle-poor Hume
to whore she owed so much and yet
had so much to forgive. He was her
husband, that madman who had been

ing the time when the doctors would
say that he was well enough to take
his place again in the woirld.of living
men, Cutioue, that Jean had never
thought of his coining back, of the
possibilily of such a thing.
For fifteen years he had been as one

he had eves known except Christ°.

The question, of the source at the

most recent of geography, The first
Euroeeen to laY claim to having dis-

that the Middle one of the three

that the westernmost brench, called
the White Nile, was• the 'true Nile

Th Toronto Conservatory of Music
some little time ago asSumed contrbl
of the Memorial Institute Music
School, a school, organized two years
ago under the direction of the BaptiSt
Women's HoMe-Mission'Board, in one
of Toronto's downtown districts. In
this school' instruction In Music is be-
ing provided the In -lisle -loving youth
among the under -privileged Classes of
that section of the city. Instruction
Is givenjm piano, Violin and voice cul-
ture, and ninety per cent: of the pupils
are. , of foreigm-birth. This music
school possesses an irresistible appeal
for the boys and girls of the com-
munity, and the teachers from the be-
ginning have beet' besieged with re-
quests • for admission' to the classes:
Lacking space,and-with a limited'
nunther, Of pianos available for prac-
tice, the number of pupils,up to now
has ,had to be restricted to 180, and
only those boys and -girls who possess
gentihie musical 'Miele, and who have
ainl3ition • to 'work, were admitted.
The' tuition fee is small, and ,pupils
are. enatled to purchase their, own
violins on small instalments, The
pupils include school -children, news-
boys (whose keenest eMbitions were
realized when they became posseesors
of 'fiddles"), and factory girls whose
meagre earnings prohibit their taking
instruction in established musical
schools. .
A.s the violins have become the cher-
ished possession of some a these
downtown homes, the piano has also
fountl. an. entrance into many humble
dwellingre where a love for musie bas
been awakened through the girls and
boys attending this school. The In -
finesses of music be therm homeis In-
calchleble, and in many instrinces has
raised the standard .01 living..
Since the founding of thie until°
ephool inetructibn has been generous-
ly provided through volunteer tetteh-
ars selected ftortt the Coneirvatory of
Music, staff. As the teachers have
striven with patience to develop the
talent they foutid lurking in such
abundance, the Toronto Coesevatory
of Music has recognized the porisibile
ties that lay buried in the down -town
distriets,, and se decided to give eaery
boy and girl in the community with a
talent for music rechlince. An efficient
staff of teachers under 0. qualified

class -rooms equipped with instru-
ments.
