THE tenth year after the war found
Hudolf Straum much lll.e scoit-s of
other young men In Wull street, ri-i pt

mobbed. America was peace minded.
Hudelf had always been peace
minded. To this day he had hut a
vague Idea what the war was all
about. The master key of Itudolf's
life was music.
All day he hummed fragments from
the xreat composers, while comput
ing foreign vidues in his Wall street
case.
One evening he was eating his sup
per In his tiny kitchenette domain
when the notes of a Chopin nocturne
suddenly arrested his Jaws In the net
of crunching a lettuce leaf, lie re
mained still, trying to locate the piv
Ishlng sound. From the ndjolnlnj:
apartment surely, lludotf never moved
until tlx piaiilst'a hands came to re.t.
Then he finished eating his s;ilad, cof.
fe and bite of cheese.
Presently -o crashing, thunderous

smiling, beat I lied. What a touch!
What feeling! What emotion yearn

The music ended with a (herd thar

frame. Slowly he roue, Impelled In

Pliant tenor floated forth-ln an nrl ,
from 1'aKllaccl, bird-clear, swelling In
volume as if truiin8 to erape the
eneriuuhineiit of tlie fliit.
Had Rudolf been mindful of sunlit
sfive his melody, he might have henrd
the creak of boards outside his door
as a slim girl crept- cloae, laying her
ear to the crack Unit she might catch
every overtone and una nee, her blue
eyes clotted In Joy,
This Interchange of rhapsody cn
tlnuei evening after evening, Hudolf s
silver plaintive notes were answered
by nocturne, scherto, polonaUe and
fugue. Arriving one evening from the
street, weary with his stniggte over
dollars, marks, guldens and pmnuU
sterling. Rudolf was thrilled by a vis
Ion In his vestibule a small, hlu
eyed creature saying "Darn!" as she
tried vainly with nail file and door
Key to iear an envelope from her
letter bo.
She colored as Rudolf came upon
her, but his dUarmlng smile and
friendly eyes sured h-r he liked
the "darn" and could ofTrr equiv
alent in a richer language If the
"vNIon" needed any more. Vexation
fudliig from her fa'. she said:
"It's ImpoKklble to ill,' anything out!
of these old -fashioned mall hove,"
"Hut It Iss oil fashioned houses that
most I like."
Rudolf was too overjoyed to care
about his Kngllsh, for he snvr that
thf Vision's mail box belonged to the
apartment whence Issued the 11 m r
velous music. Ills adoration shone In
his wide Saxon eyes.
Rudolfs dreams were now adorned
with hazy pictures of operatic heroines
that were won't to merge Into the trim
figure he had seen Ir, the vestibule,
ller playing spoke to his soul as her
eyis had spoken that evening, lie
did not know It ; but often those eyes
were Just behind his door ns she Ms
tenrd In ecstasy to his songs.
opening this door suddenly one eve
ning, Rudolf nearly precipitated her
Into his arms. It a si hard to say
which, Ann Fnrrls or Rudolf Straum,
was more astounded.
"Illmmeir cried Rudolf, "pardon,
Frauleln I forget I am you my
bell rlug and I rush"
"Heavens, I've been leaning agalnsl
the belli I'lease f 01 give nie It's your
rlorlous music I cept out here to
listen-" .
Ann broke off, staring. The velvety
tfiior continued. Khe repressed her
wonder.
Tou see, I love music sn. And
your voice Is was-so perfet that
l, who Is singing In your apartment?
A friend?"
Rudolf would have shed his blood
to claim the voice as his own.
"Krauleln, Frauleln, It Iss Caruso,
That Iss the end. I tu'n him off now."
Rudolf returned to (Ind Ann chok
ing with laughter.
"It Iss a joke, yes to one who
plays like you, I'rauleln "
Tin Ann Furrls."
"Mees Farrls, forgive; do not laugh
buf Ah, you are a musician It Is
natural you Inugh nt my phonograph
music. I live on music, Mees Farrls.
I listen to you always. " Rudolf
glanced reverently at Ann's hands.
The girl bit her lip; laughter left
nnd her face crimsoned. Then she
met the worship In Rudolfs eyes with
a sunny smile and said:
"That's the finest compliment I've
ever tin d. You see my music's a
player piano!"
The two stood and stared. Then by
mutuul Impulse they clasped hands
and broke Into peals of laughter.
