Rose $elaa came into her room at the hotel, shut the door and threw off her heavy fur coat with a sigh of sat- isfaction. She was the “star” of the comic opera playing a week's stand in the western city. After divesting her- self of hat and wrap, she took down a comfortable kimona, intending to take a rest. The matinee over and she felt the need of some re- ance, couch, she became aware of the dole- ful tones of teurish performer. “Heavens!” she said to herself. “If I've got to listen to that T'll mad! It's in the next room, too!” She tried think do. She would ask her room; but all unpacked, appear till go out to Wn : for her. Well, and bear it.

She did not think again about it. The unknown former made no effort to push himself on her notice, and she had more ad- mirers than she knew how to manage, She studied a good deal and attended strictly to business, which was one of the reasons for her success. A pleas- ing personality, magnetism and a good voice being the other factors in rising to “stardom.” Three years after this episode she was touring through the West, the star in another opera. They were playing a few one-night rtands through a min- ing district before reaching the large city. Richtos, the smallest place in which they had ever played, had a very unpromising look. The “opera house” looked more like a skating rink, with * real estate otlice underneath, and the per- miners’ shacks were In close proxime ity. Rose Velda had never heen quite so close to elemental life and she found the place interesting. She walked out alone to look it over, as there was still quite a little time before the dinner hour. The huts became more strag- gling, and farther apart. Suddenly she paused. She heard the notes of a violin. The music was her song, “The Love That Lived.” As she listened she felt sure it must be the man she had taught who was playing. A whimsical desire to see him came upon her; but how in the world could she manage it? She stood still, wondering. Then a man opened the door and came out. He stopped suddenly as he saw her, and he, too, stood still, He was tall, well-knit of frame, with a good, clear- cut face, He wore the rough mining togs and might have been about thirty years old, Rose Velda was the first one to This encouraged him to speak. “Miss Velda,” he said, “may I take this chance to thank you?
