Seemed as If my heart broke with it. I speak not of the money value of my violin, handed down by my father through his father in Austria, mellowed by time and by tiie playing of masters and held by me through lean days and lean years. For, after all, what Is a box of wood to a broken heart, like mine even a marvelous box worth maybe thousands of dollars, like my violin. Jarnock, the great teacher, had made his decision, unmaking me. lie had sent me home a note this afternoon. He wrote: "You will never be a player. I have decided. It Is no use. I believed I am very sad. Good-by.- " him. How could I do any other thing? He was my god of gods in music. He was a mean man, a bad man, but he was wonderful a master. But he could not lie about music; that was his god, and he was true there. He knew well that for years, and every day of those years, I had dreamed and worked, and he would not have written If he had not been sure. But a man's soul is his own. I would live; and I would not destroy myself. I could work and, maybe, sometimes even laugh again and I would work, being" a strong man. But, nevertheless, after picking up the pieces of my violin and throwing them under the bed out of sight, I sat down astride the chair upon which. I had broken It, and, with head down on my arms, wept out In the anguish that only the disappointed artist knows the torture of the soul, the bubble of ambition burst and gone, terrible, unspeakable.' While I sat there sobbing, the thump, thump and grind of the Sixth avenue "L" past my window a devil's obligato, Tkey Barney, a pianist, came, Ikey, with his long nose, eyes and oil black hair, smooth and sleek and quiet like a snake. "My poor Louie!" he cried In high crescendo, "what trouble is here?" He put his arm about my shoulders, but I shook off his touch and sat upright. "Jarnock wrote me a note," I said. "It is there." Ikey went to the table and read my note, lie shrugged his shoulders, and turned with tears In his eyes. "O, Louie!" he cried, outstretching his arms. "What will you do now? Jarnock knows. Oh ! it's awful." "Work," I said. "I will do anything. I am a man, strong an artist no longer, but a man, Just. I will vL'; I shall never play again never. But, first, ikey, I will drink beer-gal- lons shoe-butto- n !" money. Yes?" I looked into the eyes of the master. I saw a queer light back In them deep. And suddenly I knew I was above him like almost God. "He bust it!" screamed Ikey, and I heard him weep bitterly in my ears. llerr Jarnock stood like a stone. His face changed Into that of a demon. He. raised his two fists into the air and shouted at me. "Swine! Swine! Foul pig. begotten of the foul ! A thousand deviis ! I tear out your heart and squash it so!" lie stamped and shut his fingers. He stepped away from the bar and pointed a terrible finger at Ikey behind me. "You say, you dog Ikey, that you go at once before he could sell it. You betray me!" In that instant I saw. Itage took me into possession. Like a tiger, I leaped upon Herr Jarnock, great as he was. He had planned to rob me. I bite, I kick, I tear. 1 am a devil. But llerr Jarnock was a bull of a man, and in his embrace, one hand on my throat, I lost sight of everything and felt myself sinking, sinking oh, millions of miles. When I knew anything again, I was standing before the bar, and Fritz was holding me up with one arm about my shoulders and bathing my face. There were many men dozens of them standing before us, watching me, but 1 could not see Jarnock or Ikey. I cried out bitterly and wildly, but Fritz held me. t ""You fellows go away," he said, and the good fellows, went back to their tables in the clean place. "You come aud see Otto, Louie," said Fritz, and he led me In back of the bar and up to Otto's office. Otto is a big man, big and fat. He doesn't know music, but he is a good man. "Jarnock is a good teacher, Louie," he said when I had sobbed out nil my story about how he and Ikey were going to rob me, "but he is also a skunk. He 'most killed you but for Fritz. Now, Louie," he, leaned forward and put a bologna finger under my nose, "old Hartman out in my orchestra is going to leave Saturday night. Now, you are good enough to play second fiddle, ain't you?" "Yes," I said, trying not to faint. Oh, my God! think of what "Then you get a union card as soon as you can, Louie," said Otto, "and you come here and play. I try you." "Good!" cried Fritz, who stood at the doorway rubbing his hands on his apron. ''Louie is a good fellow. I can help him get in the union. I know how." "Well, Louie?" said Otto, rather soft, turning his eye away from me. I swallowed my tears. I knew he understood how I suffered and felt deep sorrow for me; and my heart went out to him and I felt pity for him, 'cause he knows nothing, nothing ef music. "I will get that card, Mr. Geiser," I pioiuiued, and he turned around with a groat Smile and shook my hand. "Food and lodging for you, Louie," he said. "Not much more, but they ain't much more anywhere or anyhow. You come around here Sunday?" "Yes," I told him, and, sore and bruised, but almost beginning to be to them, my happy, I said good-bgood friends, and went out Into the street and back home. Music? Ah, I love it! But in my heart I knew from the first that Jarnock, that scoundrel, that thief, had told me the truth that I was not to be a great player, a great artist. I'm not unhappy. And, yet, I love music. I have played in Otto Geiser's cafe how! many weeks in, old Hartman'a place. And I had .rather play second fiddle down ia Otto's clean place than sit" In a mahogany swivel chair in . , Wall .street,. ! "Down to Otto Geiser's clean place," put In Ikey, wiping his tears owny. "He has almost like real beer, what? Yes?" Down to Otto's, yes," I cried back, "Let us go!" "My poor Louie!" cried Ikey, chokingly, "come on !" He linked his arm In mine, and then we went down the stairs together and down over to Otto's respectable saloon, where four In a corner gave miserable fefit-wout miserable sounds they thought was music. And Ikey and I drank beer at my-,- , expense one seidel, thtu two and then another. Yes, It was almost like real beer. , Together we told Fritz' my story and how j had. worked for, years and how Jarnpck had broken my heart. And I told th'eiji about breaking it. Ikey shrinked out like a pig when I told that, imd it touched him so deeply that he'threw some beer In my fuce and klckejl mj: legs ; ad said many made Eastern Art Treasures angry thiijgs. lite ' heart-feelin'' ' me weep again. in Old London Street I think that while' we were on our Camomile street Is called the "sabeer Vas 'almost fourth seldel-th- 'e like good jieerfigit'lh Fritz had" tears cred street" of London, according to which describes it as the running down his fat, good face.
