: Muriel Weston's I
; •
Awakening
i i
On the night of the amateur per
formance In the village opera house
Muriel Weston looked helplessly at the
big box of make-up which had been
placed at her disposal.
She took up a thick stick of cos
metic and its sweet, unguent odor sent
a strange thrill through her; she In
haled a long breath and seemed sud
denly to be transported into another
world. With a sixth sense she seemed
to feel herself in a mirrored, costume
strewn dressing room of a famous
actress. A call boy was at her door
with an exquisite floral tribute, one
of many already in the room.
"How are you making out, Miss
Weston?" *
Muriel came quickly back to herself.
It was the voice of Eric Mason who
had come out from triumphs
to help with the village benefit.
"I'm not making out," she opened
the rude dressing room door that he
might enter; "we have never used any
thing but burnt cork and rouge and I
haven't the slightest idea where to put
all these things." She pointed woe
fully to the big assortment.
"If you will allow me—"
"Oh, will you really be so kind as to
make up my face?" she asked eagerly.
"I do so want to look pretty—just
scores of my friends are going to be
here tonight."
"Pretty! Miss Weston, you are a
most beautiful little creature as you
are."
Perhaps Eric Mason never acted bet
ter than he did that evening in the
country opera house when he por
trayed the lover of Muriel Weston.
Had the girl gone through her part
like an automaton her audience would
have liked her none the less. As it
was, she acted it with indifferent tal
ent.
It was toward the climax of their
scene that Mason felt himself being
carried along on a current of emo
tion. He knew that when the time
came for him to take the heroine in
his arms before the last curtain It
would be no mere acting on his part.
He swung her around from the audi
ence and bent over her upturned face
until their lips met. The curtain of
the little old theater refused its In
stantaneous drop and Eric was com
pelled to hold the picture until he felt !
Muriel tremble.
When the audience was at last hid
den Muriel, hot and breathless, broke
from him and ran into the wings, her
anger at so white a heat that It
seemed hours before she would come
before the curtain and acknowledge
the applause.
Muriel went home from the theater
without so much as a glance in his di
rection an<l next morning he returned
to the city knowing that he was leav
ing behind him all that could ever
make life dear to him. He reasoned,
with his great love for her and felt
that he was doing the right thing in
leaving her among her own people.
A hundred times during the past
three years Mason had been on the i
verge of throwing aside a now brll- I
llant career and seeking, In a small vil- j
lage, the girl whom ho had never for- !
gotten, but some hidden force held |
him on the ascending path of fame.
He was In his dressing room won- j
derlng if Leah Wood, his leading !
woman, had recovered from the faint- 1
ing spell which had almost stopped |
the second act. There was only the I
third and last act, yet It was a big one
and she had seemed scarcely able to '
drag through her part. He heard the
curtain rise and supposed Miss Wood
had recovered. She had two good
scenes before his entrance.
He sat up, listening. There was a
thunder of applause which outshone
any she had ever hoped for. He be- |
lieved that he must look to his laurels l
or his leading lady would have them
for her own. Or perhaps the audience j
hud recognized the fact that she was
working under a strain and was ap
plauding her grit.
It was almost time for Mason's en
trance and as he descended the wind
ing stairway to the wings, the voice
of his heroine reached him. It was
not the voice of l.eah Wood. Then It
was that he heard one of the stage 1
hands remark:
"Collapsed In her dressing room and
they had to rush for her understudy!"
Ills entrance cuo followed upon the
girl turning her back and it was to a
vaguely familiar outline that he ad
dressed his lines. She turned to face
him and Muriel Weston stood before
him. He did not miss a line, so trained 1
In his part was he, but UmniKh the
lung, big act he hud no conscious
knowledge of what he was doing.
They hud no chnnce to speak behind
the scenes When one was off the
other was on, but In a subtle way It
was Klven to Mason's understanding
that this meeting had been one which '
Muriel Weston had worked fur with
Indefatigable bravery. That her «onl
had been this place at his side was a
startling fact.
.Muriel remained calm until she
found herself alone with Krlc Mason
behind some protecting properties.
Muriel—"
She tried to look Indignantly sur
prised, but failed, and the lung lushes
bid her expression.
"Itear you came to meet me half
wa.> tell me you did*" Mason's voice
shook with the Kreatm i of his hap
pint
"You a» likened me that night,"]
she Hald simply. "I could do nothing !
but follow vou *'
"font," he said.
IHE LAUGHS!

| Justina would smile to herself
| whenever she saw him going by. She
knew her own town well enough to
be sure that he was having a hard
time In winning Its favor and in per
suading his brother physicians that he
was worthy of his profession. But
even If she had not known what she
did his very appearance would have
betrayed the situation to her, for his
coat was too thin for that .weather
and his hat only endured because ob
viously when bought it had been the
best of Its kind to be had.
Justina did not know how she got
her cold; It must have come to her.
she said. At any rate she was wholly
unprepared for the very worst at
tack of influenza she had ever had In
her life.
Her father telephoned for Doctor
Kip, but he was out of town.
He was just deciding that he would
call Doctor Bates, when he glanced
from a window and saw Doctor Dreer
—Justina's little doctor —going by
with his new medicine case in his
hand. Not waiting for Justina's ap
proval or objection, he rushed out
after him.
"Doc! Hello, doc!"
So it was Doctor Dreer after all!
He came in quietly without the least
embarrassment or hesitation. He sat
down beside Justina and took her
hand. His manner was calmly pro
fessional. And *his hand was not
cold. Indeed, it was a very nice
hand, not too white, but well kept.
Neither was his voice nasal. Justina
could have jumped when she heard
it, for he really had one of the lowest,
pleasantest voices she had ever
heard.
Take it all in all, the little doctor
looked and behaved very well at close
range and Justina, who was not. too
ill to be observing, was favorably, im
pressed with him. She smiled when
he gave Ellen explicit orders for ma
king a poultice and saw for once how
that authority of the household con
descended to obey.
Of course, Doctor Dreer cured Jus
tina. After Justina was well she did
not, of course, see him, save as she
met him unexpectedly 011 the street.
It amused her always to see how he
would flush at the sight of her. He
seemed suddenly to get more business.
Winter went slowly, but there came
a radiant April, ushered in by the
new motor, a magnificent thing of
rod and gold, equipped after the man
ner of the most expensive horseless
vehicle.
It chanced one fine afternoon in
June, when Justina was alone, that
the car balked suddenly two miles
from town. It would not budge an
inch. Justina waited and scanned the
deserted road in the hope that some
body would come and rescue her.
And then she saw him jogging to
ward her behind the old gray horse—
Doctor Dreer, of all people in the
world. He leaned out to'look at her
as he approached. Then suddenly he
stopped the horse, sprang out, and
came toward her on foot.
"Dear Doctor Dreer; good kind
Doctor Dreer, does a sick automobile
come within the scope of your abili
ties?"
"I'm afraid not. What's the matter
here?" He casually inspected the car.
"I see." The doctor nodded
thoughtfully. "You'll let me take you
home, won't you? I was going up here
♦o make a call, but it can wait. I'm
afraid," he said as he led up the horse
and helped her to step from the car
Into his buggy, "that you'll find this a
very slow way to travel. The car
will have to stand where it is until
you can send someone back after it.
It won't he disturbed. This road isn't
traveled much, you know."
"You have come very opportunely,"
Justina said, feeling deeply grateful.
She thought he seemed pleased to
have her there beside him. She her
self was not displeased. And she liked
his eyes.
If seemed a short distance back into
town, even though the «ray horse did
meve so slowly. There they found a
man who undertook togo and bring
home the car.
"You used to laugh at me when I
w enl by, lit* said, apropos of nothing.
"I didn't know you then." Justina
hastened to vindicate herself.
After that people had a way of
drawing aside so that Doctor Dreer
and Justina might always be together.
It was Sf< obviously their wish For
Doctor Dreer suddenly had begun to
receive a great deal of flattering at
tention. Ills practice, too, was grow
ing enormously. Yet he found time
to spend many evenings with Justina
on the MK veranda where no one was
likely to Intrude.
"I thought," she said after a long
silence one never to be forgotten eve.
nlug, "that you were never going to
ask rue to marry you.*
"I was afraid to," said the little
doctor. "You know as well as I that
my prospects didn't warrant injr ma
king love to the loveliest girl In town.
IHd you know, dear, that I fell In love
with you the first time I ever passed
your house, and, chancing to stance
sldewlse, saw you In the window
laughing at me?"
"I fell lu love with you," admitted
Justina iiwuetly, "th« day the car

Slightly used pianos are selling
for less than they originally
cost new at jhe factory.
Second-hand pianos, many of which are the same
as new, sell fast at practically one-half what
the same instruments regularly bring as new
Chickerings, Knabes, Hardmans, Grands, Uprights and
Player-pianos included.
The one big opportunity had each year to buy the world's
best pianos at factory cost—plus selling expense.
The one big feature of this, as well
as of all our previous Annual Cl< ar
lng Sales, Is the opportunity it offers
in used and second hand pianos.
This year's opportunities are un
usually rich, from the fact that the
past season was a large one in Grands
and player-pianos. Last year we
sold—more than twice over—as many
Grands and P.ayer-pianos as we ever
sold in any previous year. As a re
sult—we got in scores of flue pianos
which were taken in as a part pay
ment. Dozens of these Instruments
are as good as new. Many of them
are practically new. Many of them
are products of the best makers—
and as is apparent that these come
from the wealthiest and most cul
tured homes—it can readily he seen,
in a general way, what au excellent
condition they are in.
Included In this sale as nearly as
we can ligure from the stock sheets
of our 12 stores, are
30 used Grands.
25 used Player-pianos.
2uo used t 'prlght piano*.
Buo soeond-hand pianos.
Thus affording a choice such as has
nevor before been offered In any sin
gle piano sale.
If a purchaser is considering "qual
ity," "actual worth" and "cheapness
In price" more than he is "newness,"
he can pick up a bargain among these
which will actually save him half bis
intended piano • investment.
High Priced Pianos
Wo have each year also made It a
rule to Include all extremely high
priced Instruments In this sule and
thin year Is no exception. The pianos
referred to are mostly Grands and
player-pianos and n small sprinkling
of I'pritihts. These were bought to
"Tone lip" our stocks. They repre
sent the extreme of the piano maker's
art In some Instances there has
never been but the one instrument of

Period designs, such as Louis XVI,.
Renaissance, First Empire, Mission,
etc.
If there are those who desire some
thing out of the ordinary in a piano,
j who are practically unlimited as to
j price, but, who are at the same time,
1 willing that their money should go
i as far as it will—there are some 40
j Instruments Included in this sale at a
| trifle above factory cost that are slm
• ply irresistible.
j Prices and Terms
Prices during this, as well as all
| similar previous sales, are substan
> tlally—factory cost, with selling ex-
J pense added.
j In some instances even selling ex
; pense is eliminated, the Instruments
l being marked at bare factory cost, or
! a very little above.
Terms during this sale are spot
cash or its equivalent.
The Inducement to buy Is had la
the low prices—not in easy terms.
We are willing, however, to extend
reasonable terms, such as fi, 8, 12 or
. i up to 18 months' time, with the un
. derstandlng, of course, that interest
I w ill be charged upon all unpaid
amounts at the rate of fi per cent.
Out-of-Town Customers
During this sale, as in previous
1 years, slock sheets are exchanged
each week with all of our I'£ stores,
so 1 hat each and every store knows
