BT ECOCNE E. WOOD.
She was the youngest but one of a
family of eifrht. Physically, her lile
was and could be nothing save one
long crucifixion. Crippled and de
formed, there stretched behind her a
record of suffering; before her the
prospect of greater torture still. Na
ture had used her cruelly, for while
her rninv and misshapen frame in
spired ridicule, or, at best, shuddering
pity, she had been dowered with a
capacity for affection that burnt itself
into fiercer intensity waiting the love
that never came. Misunderstood, she
had gradually retreated into a little
world of her own, with nothing to love.
Nothing? There was her violin, but
that could hardly be considered apart
from Ida's own individuality. It was
her violin that expressed more elo
quently than herself could ever have
done the loneliness and the loveless
ness of her life.
"It speaks for me," she once con
fessed to the old doctor, who under
stood her better thin anyone else.
"What other people feel they can ex
plain in words: but I seem to have no
power of expression except through my
violin."
Dr. Marshall was silent for a mo
ment; then he asked presently: "Did
you ever hear my boy Austin play?" :
Ida shook her head. She had heard
no one. Her morbid consciousness of
infirmities prevented her from attend
ing any public concert, and Austin
Marshall, as she well knew, was a pro
fessional violinist of repute. !
"You ought to hear him. They tell
me his execution is remarkably good
and. besides, creniuses like you two
ought to know each other. I'll tell
you what I'll do," he added kindly;
"I'll bring him round one evening to
see vou. if vou like, when he isn't
busy."
Not many days elapsed ere the doc
tor kept his promise, and Austin Mar
shell, tall and strong, held the small,
wasted hand of the diminutive musi
cian, and wondered the while how the
perfect soul his father had described
had managed to find itself in that mis
shapen little body. And later on,
when Ida had completely astounded
him with her rendering of Dvorak's
"Romance" wild, intense and heart
breaking he told himself that such a
thing was monstrous. Here was an
untutored genius, beside whom him.
self would pale into comparative insig
nificance, doomed by nature to perpet
ual solitude while, Orpheus-like, she
ought by her music to charm into life
the rocks and trees.
"You want some lessons to correct a
few technical errors," he said at last,
"and then you ought to be able to hold
your own at Queen's hall or St James'
with the best of them. If I could be
lieve in the transmigration of souls', I
would swear the lost soul of some re
pentant sinner Is imprisoned in your
violin."
lie spoke with the generous enthusi
asm of genius, mere talent is sparing
of rrnie and becrrudges siipcesH.
"1 can never play in public," she an
swered, briefly, with a painful flush
that testified to her sensitive recogni
tion of physical defects.
"Ida on a public platform! Why they'd
never see her!" interpolated a jovial
elder brother with the brutal candor
admiring friends had sometimes mis
taken for frank geniality. "We call
her the Diminished Seventh," he added,
with a conscious smile that betrayed
the originator of the questionable
pleasantry.
Poor Diminished Seventh! She
winced as from a blow, and Austin,
with the intention of covering her con
fusion, observed with ready tact:
"I suppose because the ininor bar1
monies aro most perfect and least un
derstood."
That evening was but the forerunner
of many similar. Scarce a day passed
without Austin Marshall contriving to
spend tome time with the deformed
musician. And as the days lapsed into
weeks, and the weeks Into months, it
was noted that when Ida played alone
her airs were more rnmao tic than be
fore. And even her unmusical family
became Infected with their gayety; her
mother (who frequently allcrrcd she
eould enjoy gixxl music as much as
anyone If she eould only get it) was
cheered to the verge of joyful antlclpa
tlon. For who knew that Ida might
not attain the supreme height of in
spiring dance-music, such as her
mother loved, and abandon forever
thime ghoulish walls she said were
classical.
Hut when the old doctor noticed the
change he shook his head in snprrhrn
slon, while tears of pity filled his eyes.
Ills profession had trained htm to read
the longings of the heart as well as the
Infirmities of the tenement It Inhabited,
and if all he thought and dreaded
were trite I Had things 10 airier
cut! If Ida had rot been distinctly
Isolated by lis lure from the sweetest
gifts that life can hold!

Ida's eyes all the strange discords had
not confessed. '
It was but for an instant. For, in
the next, overcome by the strong ex
citement she had just, experienced, the
bow slid helplessly from her nerveless
fingers and she fainted.
Symptoms of little moment in an
ordinary person might in her case prog
nosticate the worst, and any new phase,
however slight, was at once submitted
to medical opinion. In the present in
stance, as she failed to respond readily
to the customary treatmont, Austin
hastened for his father while she was
carried to her room. She had over-ex
cited herself with her music was the
general explanation of the seizure, and
this was what the doctor was told
when he answered the hasty summons.
In a brief space, however, she yielded
to his restoratives, and before he left
the house she had dropped into a sleep
quiet and natural.
For some time father and son went
homeward in silence. Then the doctor
asked abruptly:
"Does Ida know you are going
away?"
"I told her this evening," Austin an
swered, and in some confusion as he re
called the way 6he had received the
news. "i atner, uo you Know . . . i

the confession was alike tender and
humiliating. But his father, who had
feared such a contingency well-nigh
from the first, understood what had
been left unsaid.
"I know, Austin, I know. But what
is to be done? The friendship that you
