But when 1 considered that the stu dent, being musicai, might uiso be the possessor o f an uncertain temperament my troubles appeared to be increasing. One like father was bad enough in any family, flying off on the slightest provo cation into a fit o f temper or, in his better moods, listening apparently with an appreciative smile us one re lated some personal in ident, only to hud at its conclusion that his mind had been c gaged with some, beloved "score." Nora, tbe cook, was my only comfort, and Nora bad not what one m i.lit cull an “ understanding" mind. Father told me his plan one evening 'vlth his ( ustomary tardiness. The stu dent was to arrive fit 8 o'clock and the south room to be prepared for bis di. posal. lie was coming “ free" upon condition o f exchanging secretary work for lessons. This alone was a recommendation to the student’s mu sk a I ability. Father would receive no pi nil without promise o f skill. Ex citedly he named the young man as “ his discovery."
