all had drunk Coli;ngoford's welcomo to

"Colllnteford saw Alan In Africa."
"Eh! What?" said tho Cnptuln aroused

B-Vten but restful faco, at the Captain's
K flaring eyes, which bomchow had as-
umed a kindly glint, at J. Y.'s rugged
firure, suddenly grown tense, and he
knew that Alan Wayno was near to the
hearts of these three. Ho fingered his

no began, looking at nobody, "who dis

The stem of Colllngeford's wine glass

he said, lnylng tho pieces aside. He smiled
a llttlo nervously on the three tenso faces
before him. "I don't toll that Btory often.
It goes too deep. Not everybody under

EX-DRUNKARDS APPROVE
VERDICT AGAINST SALOON MAN
Old St. Paul's Club Members Are Glad Woman
Whose Husband Lost Home Through Rum
Curse Will Have Eoof Over Her Head
Members of Old Et. Paul's Club, every one of them reformed drunkards, have
none on record as avprovliw the action, of the court In awarding Mrs. Virginia Alex
ander B3 JunMnfliloii sfreet, J2500 become the jurors omul that the death of her
husband icas caused bv drinking in the saloon of Jacob Uosch, tatl North Zlth street.
More than JOO men, many of whom
know by actual experience the sufferings
Inflicted on their wives nnd their llttlo
ones by their own Bellieh habits, declared
at their weekly meeting at their club
rooms, ill Spruce street, that tho Court
did right, and that the wife should have
beci awarded the money, which Jacob
Bosch has been compelled to give her bjf
the law's decree.
"It was a good thing." said ono man.
who has been a drunkard for 12 years, and
ho "quit" six weeks ago. "And I am
glad that tho Court Is protecting the wife,
ff the man was such a slave to drink, and
the saloon man did not pay any attention
o the request of the wife, well then all
I can say Is that I am glad that the
saloon man has to pay. I am 'glad the
woman will be able to pay the mortgage
on her little home and that she will have
a roof over her head In site of the curse

SALOONMEN'S LESSON.
Men seen at the Old St. Paul Club to
day were unanimous In thlr op nlon m to
tho Justice of the court's decision. They
Iio brought out the fact that saloon men
will be iore particular how they U
k ,0 men. If they reaJJM that, thy
M held responsible for their 4eatha.
"ntj w Htf OWl Bfc Fal' CWb must bo

wns very low hut clenr.
"Why. Clem!" said J. Y gravely.
.CI1?! ,,00,''! nround on the four men.
Sho did not seem afraid. Unconsciously
they wnlted for her to go on, nnd she did.
"Mr. Colllngeford wns telling about Alan.
I heard Cnnrloy sny ho was going to. I
shall always eavesdrop when any ono
tells nbout Alan."
For a Bocond her auditors were stunned
by the nudnclty. Colllngeford's faco wns
the first to light up nnd his hnnd ,camo
down on tho tablo with n bang. "Bully
for you, young 'un!" ho rrlcd, and his
clenr laugh could he heard on tho lawn.
Before It was over tho Judgo Joined In,
tho Cnptnln grunted his merriest grunt
nnd J. Y. patted Clem's shoulder nnd
smiled,
Clem was of tho snlt of the earth among
womankind tho kind that waits to weep
till tho battle Is over nnd then becomes a
thousand times moro dear In her weak
ness. Hor big eyes hnd bcen welling with
tenrs and now thoy Jumped tho barrier
Just as Xnnco ruihed In arid cried, "What
aro you nil laughing nt7" Then she
caught sight of Clem. From her sho
looked around on tho men. "You four big,
hulking brutes," sho snld. "Como to me,
Clem, you darling. What have they been
doing to you? There, there, don't cry.
Men nro silly things. What If they did
laugh at you?"
Clem wni sobbing on Nance's shoulder.
"It Isn't that," sho gasped. "I don't
mind thnt! Hut Mr. Colllngeford ca
callcd mo n 'young one.' "
Tho threo grny-hends kept their faces
with dlfllcutty. Colllngeford lenped to
his feet. "My dear young lndy Mlas
Clematis " ho stammered, "my wotd,
nowl I didn't mean It. Swear I didn't.
I'll do anything lf you'll only stop cry
ing. Do stop nnd listen to me. I'll
grovel."
It took him nn hour to mnko his peace.

'ANY they wero who drank at tho
fountain of hospitality In Maplo
House, and to all nulet Mrs. J. Y. held
out tho measured cup of welcome with
Impartial hand. Hut once In a while ono
camo who made the raro nppcal to tho
heart. Such a ono was Colllngeford. For
all bis wanderings, his roughing nnd his
occasional regression to city drnwlng
rooms nnd ultra-country houses, Colllnge
ford fitted Into the lllll ho belonged.
On Sundny night thoy were gnthercd on
tho lawn, all but Clem, who sat nt the
piano bcsldo nn open window and poured
her girl's voice out over tho rippling keys.
Her volco was thin nnd clear like a
mountain brook hurrying over pebbles,
und llko the brook It held tho promise
of coming fulness.
Colllngeford sat by Mrs. J. Y.. a llttlo
apart from tho others. They hnd not
talked. Mrs. J. Y. broke a long sllenco
when sho said, In a full, low voice thnt
somehow related to Clem's thin trill,
"Wo nro very quiet hero."
Colllngeford looked thoughtfully at IiIh
glowing clgnr-cnd. "Tho best paits of
llfo nro quiet," ho answered.
"Do you really like It?" said Mrs. J.
Y,, almost shyly. "Englishmen of your
class generally fall to tho lot of our
landed and chateauxed."
"My dear Mrs. Wnyne." said Colllnge
ford, "I've been sitting hero In n really
troubled sllenco trying to thing out how
to nsk you to make It u week for me
Instead of a week-end."
Mrs. .1. Y.'s laugh was happy but low.
It did not disturb tho others. Colllngeford
wont on, "I know America pretty well
for nn Englishman. I thought I hnd dono
tho whole country, from Albuquerque to
Nowport. Hut you are right. When
we're not roughing It out West, we visit
ing Englishmen nro rretty apt to ho
rubbing up against tho gilded hlgh-llghti
of tho landed nnd the chateauxed. This"
Colllngeford waved his cigar to cmbraco
the whole of Red Hill "Is somothlng new
to mo nnd old. It's tho sort of thing
Englishmen think of when they nro far
from homo. I hnvo ncer seen It before
In America."
"And yet," said Mrs. J. Y., "there nro
thousands of quiet homes In America
Just llko It In spirit. In splto of nil our
divorces all our national llnen-washlng
In public our homes nro todny what they

sho ndded, "t hnvo been polemic but ono
seldom, has the chance to spread tho good

Colllngeford heard sane ono speak of

PERCY GRAINGER WINS
ORCHESTRA AUDIENCE
Grieg Disciple Plays Master's
Piano Concerto Conccrtmas-
tcr Rich Conducts
Perhy Grainger, the Austrnllnti pianist,
who is by way of creating a sensation In
this country nftcr winning his way to
famo in the Antipodes and England,
brought numerous reminiscences to tho
nudlenco of tho afternoon concert of the
Philadelphia Oichestrn. Tho "young Pa
doiowskl" wns tho Involuntary exclama
tion of old concert-goers when tho solo
hit's hlisute aureole popped out of tho
door leading from the wings to the stngo.
When ho strode forward to tho apron of
tho Academy the resemblance was moro
marked to Shelley of tho caily period of
revolt. Ono "high-brow ed" auditor who
had taken off his Intellectual horned spec
tacles saw a vision of Mark Twain In tho
slender llgute, crowned with a masslvo
head notnblo for Its strength ns well ns
for Its tangled mane.
At any into, by all thoso comparisons
Mr. Grainger Is a man of real mark. Moro
so on tho merits of his performance, In Its
accomplished technical mastery and Its
moving effects, is ho a man of marl!. Ho
played the A minor concerto of Grieg,
whose protege he was, though his major
puplkigo was with Kerruclo Busonl.
Ilo has power In his nrm and greater
power In his noul. Ho can not only pro
ject tho significances of such music as
Grieg wroto nntlonal music and thun dif
ficult for ono not of tho raco to play con
nmore but ho can communicate to tho
soul of tho auditor what was In tho soul
of the composer. Mechanically tho work
hnd no dlflleultles for Mr. Grainger, and
his performance transcended everything
material In an linprcsslvo bearing of a
spiritual message.
Mr. Grainger wns also represented on
tho program by his unlquo nnd likable
"Molly on tho Shore," written on two
Irish reels for string orchestra. He. llko
Grieg, Is n nal'jnallst, though perhaps In
a broader sense.
Tho "Celtic magic" pervades his com
position, willtcn though It Is In a humble
form. Tho effect Is as lf Fiona MacLeod

"fouisomo," ns It Is termed, for strings Is
Jocund and sprightly, with the light heart

Richard Wagner. Mr. Rich was fully ade
