HER VOICE
By MILDRED WHITE.
As the morning sunshine came slant-
I lug across the roof, John Darrow lay
back on his couch and listened to
1 snatches of song in a girlish voice.
I which came floating through his win-
| dow. If it were possible to fall in
I love with a voice, John loved this
| nier ry- hearted singer. Through his
i weeks of invalidism, it was not only
| her song, hut her merry chatter which
had cheered him.
He had grown to itsten for the
1 bright "Good morning." which this
| same sympathetic contralto threw hack
to some one in the room aerosa the
roof and also her evening salutation.
He wondered if it might be a husband
whom his admired one thus greeted as
he went away each morning to return
again at night. Rut because he pre
ferrod to think otherwise. John dis
missed the husband idea and satisfied
himself that a sister, or a girl friend
perhaps, was the recipient of the
greetings—he had never heard a man’s
tone in this same apartment across the
roof.
Convalescence was a tiresome thing;
reading or writing an exertion unbear-
able. The lonely young man amused
himself with pleasant fancies concern
ing the owner of the happy voice.
He knew that it must be she who
placed bowls of pansies and wild roses
upon the sill—she would be just that
kind of girl ; it was strange how
thought of her obsessed him. “The
foolish caprice of an invalid." he told
himself, even as he endeavored to
plan to meet the girl. An unknown
man may not present himself at the
door of an apartment with the simple
request to see its mistress, neither
would John Harrow be able to call
upon some mutual friend to arrange
introduction.
He was a stranger In the city and
had been overtaken by illness before
he had found opportunity to become
acquainted.
i
“It’s a long, long way to Tippe
rary" hummed the voice. “It is,”
sighed John. “It’s a long way to go.”
When he was strong enough to sit
in a chair by the window he was re
warded by a view of a blue-clad little
figure tripping down the apartment
house steps. John was excited.
“That was the girl,” he decided at
once, “whose merry voice so charmed
him."
Twilight was falling across the roof
one evening as he sat hopefully gazing
through the window which faced that
one opposite. Suddenly the air was
riven by a piercing scream followed
immediately by the demand : “Come
over here please. Please come over."
John waited no longer. Had the
plea not been prefaced by that des
perate scream he might have hesi
tated. As it was. he forgot his own
weakness and dashed across the roof.
The opposite window being open he
slipped through It to a wide living-
room floor.
“I am here," John cried. "Where
are you? How can I help you?"
Involuntarily he glanced about for
creeping flame. There was no indi
cation of fire or trouble. The room ap
peared to he peacefully homelike with
its clock ticking on the mantel.
• “Come here,” begged the muffled
voice. “Here!" John followed breath
lessly into an adjoining apartment.
This room was vacant also save for
the presence of a big green parrot fas
tened by its foot to a treelike perch.
“Come here.” the parrot repeated.
Immediately imitating its
former
scream.
As John sank weakly Into a chair a
ripple of silvery laughter came from
the bird’s beak quickly changed to à
softly hummed—“It’s a long, long way
to Tipperary.”
Speechlessly John Harrow sat star
ing at the feathered thing before him.
It was impossible, he told himself dis
gustedly, that this ridiculous episode
could ho the end of his dream. Impos
sible that the clever mimicking tones
of a bird could awaken in his man’s
heart real emotion. Then in relief
came the logical solution. It was the
bird’s mistress who had aroused his
interest and the parrot had become an
echo of herself.
And as John still Mt, a white-haired
elderly woman entered the room, paus
ing astonished hefore his intrusion.
When John had grimly explained the
situation the elderly woman smiled.
“I have seen your face at the oppo
site window.” she said, “and hearing
from the servants of your Illness, have
wished to help you." She laughed.
Being a lone old spinster with no one
but a parrot for company all day, I
have plenty of time on my hands. In
compensation for the fright Miss Polly
has given you, I hope you will feel fr^
to call upon me for reading matter or
any service that I may bestow."
“I thank you.” John answered dully.
Escorted by the gracious old lady
he made his way to an ascending ele-
vator. From Its doors issued the girl
of the blue suit whom he had watched
from his window.
"Good evening auntie," she called In
soft contralto greeting, while John's
depressed heart arose In quick re-
sponse.
“Come here,” came the
Polly, “please come here !"
voice of
“That bird!" the girl laughingly ex-
claimed, “she grows positively un-
canny."
"Perbaps Mr Darrow will be kind
enough to return with us and tell you
his recent amusing experience," auntie
suggested.
Ani joyously John fol-
lowed the two din th* hall.
