CHAPTER XXVIL--(Cont'd.)
Judy had got some of the patter
of the stage at her finger -ends, and
had learned a great many things
'about the private life of its devotees
which had astonished her not a little.
Perhaps the greatest eye-opener had
been the colossal nature of the work,
its arduous exactions, its austerity.
There could not be even a moment's
slackening, and sometimes she won-
dered how Car itta could stand it,
and be invariably so cheerful and
bright.
It may be said here that there was,
one flaw • in the friendship between
these two. Carlotta, out of a mis-
taken idea of sparing Judy's feelings,
and perhaps making the future more
bright and complete, had withheld
from her a full confidence.
Judy was as yet unaware of the
fact which Carlotta, in a moment of
emotional abandon, had communicat-
ed to Jean Dempster, and had imme-
diately thereafter repented of doing
se and had laid a vow of secrecy upon
Jean.
Judy did not know that Alan and
Carlotta had been married at a Lon-
don Registry Office on the morning
of the day that he left London, and
thef6 Carlotta considered that she and
all her earnings belonged to Stair.
Had Judy been aware that that ob-
jective•of Carlotta's life was to do her
part in the redemption of Stair, she
would have understood the practice
of the small econmies, which some-
times both puzzled and irritated her.
Carlotta smiled her far -away and
most provoking smile as Judy reeled
off her arguments in favor of a closer
alliance between Madox and his lead-
ing lady. She understood that Judy
had much to try her, and thus forgave
the pin -pricks of the. everyday life
which both were beginning to feel
just a trifle trying and irksome.
It was Jean Dempster who was
Judy's stand-by in those days. The
acquaintanceship had made great
strides, and often while Carlotta was
at the theatre, Judy would slip down
to Mrs. Isaacstein's for a chat with
the countrywoman who understood
her apparently, better than Carlotta.
Jew York is a levelling place, and
Judy, amid all the strange new whirl
of her life, had almost forgotten the
trammels of the old days, when she
had known just thio one or that, and
had had her social list marked down
with a blue pencil, in a county where-
in Stair could not only hold its own,
but might lead, had it bean so minded.
Carlota understood Judy far bet-
ter than Judy imagined, and with the
unerring intuition of the born stu-
dent of human nature, laid her finger
on the sore spot. Instead of making
any answer to the jibe about Graham
Madox, she leaned her elbows on her
knees and looked across the floor-
space of the hotel sitting -room of
which they were both so heartily sick.
"Judy, darling, the matter with you
is that you want to go home"
"But I can't," she answered dis-
mally, not even trying to refute the
suggestion. "You won't finish for
another month, at least; and I heard.
Mr. Madox saying on Sunday that
he only wished he could add another
month on that! As likely as not he
will add it, and then where shall I
be?"
"At Cambridge, my dear, I hope,"
said Carlotta firmly.
"Then you want to get rid of me!"
cried Judy, in hot rebellion. "Of
course I quite understand."

Carlotta, with "an infinite patience,_
crossed the room and knelt by Judy:s
side, laying her kind, compelling
hands on her arms, and forcing the
dark, rebellious eyes to meet tiers.
"Listen, dearest. I've been watch-
ing you all these weeks, and I .knew
that it must come. When we agreed
to take this- trip together, everything
was different We expected to find.
Alan here, and that you would have
his companionship and all the con-,
cerns of his life to interest you. We I
have been disappointed--" and here
a little catch broke her voice for an
instaiit, but she made a gallant effort
to recover herself. "It is cruel to
keep you here, and unnecessary be-
sides. Don't ook at me like that,
Judy. We can't afford to drift away
from one another—we daren't, do you
hear? And for that reason you are
going home."

Jean nodded, and drawing up the
most comfortable chair, .asked Judy to
sit down, and said she would rneke the
coffee,

coffee -machine, which she- manipulat-

"I'm going home on Saturiiay,"
answered Judy unexpectedly,
"Ohl" said Jean interestedly. "But!
Miss Tenterden's season isn't over—"
"Not for another month. But she's
sending me home. 1 didn't know how
desperately I wanted to •go until we
were at the steamship officer to -day.
And I. never—no, I never knew a
more understanding person than ;she
is. Her intuition is i neanny seine -1

"The artistic teinperament," mur-
� Fnu `red Jean, on the slur of the nice.
menti "But. she'll miss you fright-
fully!"
"I don't know. • eeve been rather a

ster, Scotch women can't lead an idle;

'W'hat I'm mortally afraid of is that;
she marries Graham Madox in the
end! Don't you see it would. be a';
splendid arrangement? They seem
made for one another, and of course,

well•"
Al curious look fiitted across Jean's
face, and she suddenly found ,the
coffee -machine more than usually in-
teresting.
"I don't think that willever hap-
pen. They've, had plenty of chances
before they ever came here. I
wouldn't worry about that, Miss. Ran-
kine. I dont think she will ever • for=
get your brother."
"But he isn't here, and it's the man
on the spot who has the chance," ob
served Judy dismally. "It's all a
horrid tangle from first to last, and
I've lived a thousand years in the last
one. Are you all right? I thought
you'd been crying when I came in?"
"Weld, I had been," admitted Jean,
glad to get off the subject of stage
love -affairs. "I had a letter from my
mother this morning, and she says
Mamie is going down the hill, and
that it isn't likely she'll ever see
Hunter's Quay. Think of that! After.
all my hard work and scraping, .and"
only on Sunday I had a good count-
up, and I thought I might manage

kind man I know in business put,me.

lately, and I've made a bit "
"Oh, I •am sorry! Has she had the
best advice and everything?", ..
"Well, of , course, mother has done
what she could; but she's poor: What
Mamie wants is fresh, air, ;and the
best food, and rest, and --and happi-
ness. If only I could afford to take a
run home, I would see for myself just
what is the true state of ' affairs.- I
know it must be serious: before mother
would let me know anything about it
at all.
"And when I am gone Graham Ma-
dox will have you all to himself, and
the inevitable will happen! Nothing
can prevent it, Carlotta. It must be
better—far better!—just to accept
fate. You are great on the fate -line,
anyway! I lain sure that Graham
Madox is your fate."
She spoke hardly, but her heart
was melting in her breast, for the
lovely face so near her own had a
haunting, pathetic look, which it was
not in Judy's nature to resist.
"You don't believe that in your
innermost heart, Judy. You may
have ceased to love me; perhaps I've
been trying, -but you believe in me
yet, I hope and trust, or I couldn't
go on—"
"But Alan is dead! There can be
nothing surer than that! He never
went to that Calgary ranch. He has
never been heard of since, and worse
than all, he has made no attempt. to •

Jean Dempster told me—and that
proves beyond all doubt that he is

and that his pride is as high as the'
Carlotta rose slowly to her feet.
Her face had whitened a' little, but
her eyes never lost their serene and
steadfast look.
"Judy, if Alan were dead I should
know! Do you hear? I should know!
He is alive. He will come back to us
and things will. right themselves at
Stair. Don't ask me row I know, be-
-deep
I can't tell you; only it is here
—deep down the only thing that
keeps me going,"' she said, pressing
her hand to her heart. "Tryto hold
on for a little longer. And now go
and get your hat and we'll do the
steamship offices. It is a crowded!
season, but perhaps we shall be lucky!
enough to get you a berth in Satur-
day's boat."
Judy looked for a moment at Car-
lotta's face, and her own was a study.
"Carlotta, I do believe you're the
best as well as the greatest woman
in the world! How dare you treat a
little beast like me so nobly! Why
don't you knock me down and trample
on Hie? It's what I deserve! I won't
go! I'll see it through. I'd be -a
worm of the deepest dye if I took you
at your word!"
"You are getting a little mixed in
your metaphors, my precious! But
the Atlantic breezes will clear your
brain," said Carlota, with a slight,
wavering smile. "It is all right, isn't
it? And you won't drag in Graham
Madox wain, will you? His place in.
my` life - is what it always has, been,
and ever will be, I hope that of .good
friend and faitful comrade. He is
perfectly safe, Judy, and so am I."
With that Judy professed herself
content, and they sallied forth to-
gether to the steamship office and
got a berth on ' a steamer sailing on
the following Saturday.
"Alan's boat," said Judy, with a
strange note in her voice. "And for
his sake I ought to go second class."'
But Carlotta would not hear of
that, and a comfortable outside
stateroom was duly engaged and paid
for that very day.
Upon the completion of that trans-
action, Judy's spirits visibly rose, and
that evening about eight o'clock, after
Carlotta had gone to the theatre, she.
took the street car to Mrs. Isaacstein's
to tell Jean Dempster the great news.
She found Jean alone in her sitting -
room, in which there was a wealth
of flowers.
"You are a very extravagant wo-
man, Mies Dempster!" she said, as
she touehecl the sweet spring blos-
soms with tender hand, their deli-
cate perfume bringing back a swift
vision of Stair woods' in April, ear-
peted with primrose and daffodil.
"Say, rathere I have an extrava-
gant friendee answered Jean. "But
I think I've put a stop to it,"
"Admirer?" smiled Judy.; "Flowers

"I wish I could help,' of -send you
home in my place! Couldn't I take
your place at the School . of Steno-
graphy, and give 'you .my passage?"
The idea pleased" Judy. To do some-
thing for somebody was certainly
what gave her the most happiness in
the world, and called out all that was.
finest in her nature. The forced in-
activity of body and soul had been bad
for her in every way.
Jean's eyes incontinently filled".
"It is dear and good of you to think
of it, and I shall always remember it.
NoI shall just have to go on. An-
other door will open somewhere. It
always does. I have found that, even
in the darkest hour of my life, when
I was wanting to tumble out of it in
the very quickest way I- could find."
That. very night—nay, that very
moment, her words seemed to be veri-
fied, for the sitting -room door opened,
and black Sambo, with the flourish
of delight with which he invariably
served Miss Dempster, announced
'Mister Fordyce."
Jean' was undoubtedly surprised,
for though Fordyce had called many.
times at the Dormer House, and had
had much to say to her over the
'phone at odd times, this was his first
visit to Mrs. Isaacstein's. But she
was pleased, and looked it as she intro-
duced him to Miss Rankine of th
out a certain diffidence. Sim was not
surprised, however, when Judy nn -
mediately took her leave. =
It was Judy's first opportunity of
seeing Fordyce, and the thought of
the money he had given Alan, and
the silence which had ensued, caused
her pride such acute discomfort that
she was glad to escape. Jean, with a
murmured word of apology to. For-
dyce, went down to the door with.
Judy.
This gave him an opportunity of
looking round the sitting -room in
which lYiiss Dempster spent her lei-
suretime, and he did not fail to make
use of it.- He was accustomed to gor-
geous rooms, filled with the things
for which the rich man's purse can
pay, but here he found . thethings
which, fortunately for humanity,
T.money is powerless to buy—the es-
sence of home!
"So that is Rankine's sister?" he
observed, when Jean, a trifle breath-
less ffom her haste on the stairs,
re-entered the room. "She doesn't
look much Iike him. B:e seems to have
annexed most of the looks of the
family."
"Oh, do yea' think so? Well, 'any-
way, shoes got brains anda heart.

:Instrumental Music in Schools
is Developing.
The amazingly rapid development of
instrumental training in the public
schools represents perhaps the most
significant phrase in the evolution of
public . school' music during the last
decade.
To -day, practically every progressive
music department includes -in its cur-
riculum some form of instrumental
training. It is gradually taking its
Draper place in the general scheme of
school music. Its importance is second-
ary only to vocal training. The latter
reaching every child, must retain its
undisputed supremacy as the foremost
doctrine of school music.
The greatest development has per-
haps taken place in the high School or-
chestra. Many of these organizations
represent a very satisfactory standard
of taste and performance. :Where this
standard has not been reached the
fault often may be found in the fact
that the teachers, Heed by the ambi-
tion to present an. imposing program
of fine' music, omitted to subject the
orchestra to a systematic course in en-
semble training which would have pro -
Tided the necessary technical pro-
ficiency for the adequate 'performance
of an ambitious programme. Another
failing; is sometimes encountered,
namely, that teachers in their endeav-
or to avoid too difficult music, become
blind to their duties as educators and
present insignificant and mediocre
music to, the orchestra for practice and
performance.
Gull's Transatlantic Flight.
In the records of navigation, the feat
of the first gull to fly the Atlalntic
Ocean is au horoarable one, and worthy
of record. Tlr.e gull, a kittiwake, was
found in Newfoundland wearing a sit
ver band upon which were inscribed
the words: "Inform Witherby, High
Holborn, London," and the bird has
been identified as one that had been
released •from the coast of Northum-
berland by a: correspondent of tho'Lon-
don naturalist.

Modern Humanity.
Research shows that what we term
humanity originated away off in Asia
so many thousands and thousands of
years ago that it is quite impossible to
even approximate the date when reran-
kind first flooded the European con-
tinent. Always, so it seems, the great
loose masses -ef humankind have flow-
ed periodically through the pastes of
the Caucassions, only to find the ex-
pected new land filled' with other mass-
es that had poured there centuries and
thousands of yea'rs ago. The fact that
we data, Europe from the Goths,
Pranks and such things means nothing
-except that these peoples -have, :left
better records of their wanderings
than the older ones.. One of the great-
est outpourings of record is -one 1600
B.C., when waste hordes came swarm-
ing through the passes, living in tents
and eaves knowing almostnothing of
agriculture ,or any art except war, hav-
ing no laws, and: evidently no aim ext
cept to escape from Asia in the same
manner and come across the water to
what' is now America, and this must
have been many thousands of years
ago,

to be a mere limbo to which convicts -

complished by white pioneers was`the
extermination of the aborigines, of
whom there were but four left :in 1865
and one In 1876. .These people kirew,
almost nothing, and did get even pos-
sess the art of building boats, beteg
