Iler Easter Joy X 4, # 4.4-44ei÷rei-i 4. A Story by s ESTHER JOYCE. • Copyright, 1907, by Mary McKeon.. fib <_ ... - MISS AMY CARTER leaned back in the dull shadows of the boarding house parlor and watched the girl at the piano. The girl had a true but quite untrain- ed voice, and she sang in commonplace, soulless fashion the air of a four part sacred song. "Wasn't it shivery and grand where the bass took up the tune?"' The girl's hands came down on the keys with a crash. She had not dream- ed that Miss Amy had come into the room. Moat of the boarders did not come downstairs until the tea bell had rang. Miss Amy was almost as star- tled as the girl. She had been in the house five weeks and never exchanged a word with any one save the land- lady. "Were you at St Augustine's this aft- ernoon?" inquired the girl, swinging around on the piano stool. "Oh, yes," replied Miss Amy simply. "I've been there every Sunday since I beard you sang there in the choir." "I'm sure It is awfully kind of you to say so. I don't do much, you know, just one of the cho- rus, but it's $1.50 per, and you meet real nice people too. I'd have joined the Musical league, too, only you've got to report for every rehearsalor lose your tickets for the last con- cert" MR. WESTON STUDIED Miss Amy sat HER CIIRIOUSLY. like one entranced Here was a girl who did not simply buy admission tickets and listen to others. She was in it all, in the world of music from which Miss Amy had always been ex- cluded by the iron key, marked duty. "How -how do you manage to get into a choir or a league or anything of that sort?" The girl felt flattered as she looked into Miss Amy's kindling face. "Oh, they're always looking for good sight readers with fresh, clear voices 1n the big choirs. Sometimes you get paid -sometimes yo,. don't. I didn't get anything last year. But the easiest way to get in 1s to take lessons from the choirmaster -private lessons. Then Mr. Weston will put you in the choir to jolly you along, whether you can sing or not You're new to New York, and yon wouldn't believe the graft" - The clang of the supper bell drowned the latter part of the sentence, and the girl rose abruptly. Miss Amy followed her down to the dining room, but scarcely knew what was spread before them. What mattered food or drink or sordid landladies or gossiping board- ers when she had found the key to her paradise at last? Perhaps it was graft -perhaps the girl spoke thoughtlessly. The next morning very early Miss Amy went shoppin: She told the mil- liner she wanted a brown hat to match her suit "No, not a toque like she had on; something younger," and she de- scribed quite accurately the hat which the girl had worn to church the after- noon before. "I'll wear this," she said, "and yon can send the old one home." Next she went to the nearest drug store and studied the directory. "Wes- ton, Albert, singing teacher, 421 West - street" And as she left the drug store she spied a florist's window, and she stop- ped for a bouquet of violets. Then again she hesitated The aisle of this her new life was at hand. She al- lowed three cars to pass, and then, with firmly compressed lips, she sig- naled for a hansom. At the boarding house every- one said that in New York one must keep up appearances. Perhaps if he thought she could afford to ride in hansoms he would overlook her vocal deficiencies. - Albert Weston, worn by his strug- gles with an indifferent pupil, was standing at the window of his studio when the hansom drew up before the building and the brown, wrenllke fig- ure stepped cautiously from the veLl- cle and shot a questioning glance up the brownstone front. "I'm glad I took the hansom," com- mented Miss Amy as she mounted the steps. This was Life! An absurd thrill swept over her and brought a delicate and most becoming blush to her face. Mr. Weston studied her curiously, hands deep in his pockets, when she asked almost timidly the privilege of studying with him. Prices, hours, ev- erything seemed secondary to the fear that he might not accept her as a pupil. He tried her voice, paced the room a few moments and then said gravely: "Yes, I will take you as a pupil, but I want to be quite frank with you. You will never be a great singer. You have a sweet, harmless, drawing room voice, but I don't, want yon to. go into the work with any idea of being a grand opera singer in time. You have begun -too late for that" Again the delicate flush mounted to her face. "I understand all that -!t is just for my own pleastir+s.- I I conld.not study sooner. It is just for the joy of being able to sing for myself." He stopped short in his nervous walk and looked at her. Such simplicity, Such humility, such lack of ambition, almost staggered him. "Perhaps some time -when my voice is a little stronger -you might, that Is, if it would be quite right, you might let me join your choir at St. Augus- tine's?" "First vacancy there is," he assented heartily. "What our congregation likes is a number of sweet, correct voices. By the time some one gets tired of re - hearse's or marries or moves lira* TT have your voice placed and be glad to take yon on."' And so commenced the musical ca- reer of Miss Amy Carter, aged thirty- one, residence a Second class boarding house; occupation, spending the small inheritance which had come to her suddenly after a life of narrow drudg- ery and unrelieved sacrifice. At first her lessons opened and closed with al- most monosyllabic conversation, but in time the musician delved beneath the surface and found the b rt whitfor years had almost starved for music. It had been born in her, she thought, but there .had been work to do, so heavy that her hands had grown too rough and stiff to play the old fash- ioned organ. There were two invalids to nurse when the village choir would have been glad of her services. And so she counted her love as dead and buried until the inheritance had come, and then - "Well," she said, with a whimsical smile, "I thought I'd come to New York and hear the beat of music while the money lasted. I would have a taste of real life -what I have heard people call the joy of living." Weston smiled to himself. She call- ed this seeing life! And, indeed, these days she was quite in a flutter of ex- citement all the time. Weston had tickets he could not use for this con- cert and that. Matinees came just when he had pupils, and it was a shame to waste the tickets. He was tremendously diverted by this dellcate, flower-like woman, who telt that she was indulging in a mad orgy of music. He learned to look forward with keen interest to her comments on the con- certs she attended. Self played so small a part in her enjoyment It was always not how she telt, but how the music affected the audience, and gradu• ally he discovered that She had a de- cided gift of criticism which was de- veloping under his guidance. Something he knew, too, that his pupil of thirty-one had not discovered Under the magic of indulging the one great longing of her lifetime she was cheating old Father Time, turning pages back and not forward. The faint color was always In her cheeks these days, and the voice, rising in her bird- like throat, was fresh as a girl's, lilt- ing like a lark's In flowered meadows, And, watching her development, the tired man began to wonder what had come over him. He saw his work in a new light. The weight of drudgery slipped from his shoulders. The sense of wasted effort yielded to the infec- tious happiness of his buoyant pupil. And so dawned Easter morning over St. Augustine's. Outside the doors the mob of sightseers swayed while the regular parishioners claimed first right to pews. Then came the inrush of strangers; the organist took his place, Mr. Weston raised his hand, and the band of white robed men and women filed into the choir loft. Out to the wafting multitude rolled the waves of perfectly balanced harmonies -a hun- dred voices admirably selected, thought the congregation, and yet to the man who had trained them there came but a single voice. Her face was uplifted, her eyes dewy and tender, as with flutelike clearness the wonderful words reached him above the heads of the other singers: "The strife Is o'er, the battle done; The victory of life la won; The song of triumph has begun - Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!" To the man 11 came not as a paean of triumph, but a message of peace, and she had shown him the way! He wanted to tell her now -this min- ute! The service stretched ahead of him inter- mfnably.'elute!" %4 • "Alleluia, al. ;1 His glance caught and held hers. A startled expression flash- ��r ed over her face. The flutelikepyti'"�U`f�e tones faltered and died away. The absorbed i - singers on ei- ther side did not note that her hand trembled, and her face, paling, turned HER VOICE FLOATED from the leader OUT TO HIM. to the banks of Easter illies. Per- haps it was their perfume -something seemed to smother the sound 1n her throat ' Then, as if fascinated. her glance traveled back to meet his, and the tender gravity in his face steadied her. She raised her book, the color came back into her face, and as her voice floated out to him in the final "Alleluia" he knew that his heart's message had reached her, and that was her answer.

The kidneys filter the blood. They work night and day.. When healthy they re- move about five hundred grains of lm - pure matter daily, when, unhealthy some part of this Impure matter is left In the blood. This brings oo many diseases and symptoms, pain -in the back, head- ache, nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheuma tiam, gout., gravel, disorders of the eye - eight and hearing, dizziness, irregular heart, debility, drowsiness. dropsy, deposits in the arias, etc. But it you keep the alters right you will have no trouble with your kidueys. William Nolan, west Sixth Street, near Vermillion, Hastings. Minn., . says, "For over thirty years I have been troubled with a very lame back. When doing any work that required stooping a sharp shooting pain would seize me in the small of my back. and 1 would be unable to do anything for several days. It seemed as if I tried every known remedy for the complaint, but nothing seemed to give me any relief until Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to my attention and I pro- cured a box at F. W. Finch's drug store. They not only made my back well and strong, but also banished tbe difficulty with the kidneys which had been giving me great annoyance of late years. 1 know Doan's Kidney Pills to be a first class medicine, and I am sure that any one using them have a good wonj to say for them."
