"Life there," I remarked, "amid new and rough conditions must be full of hardship and tragedy." This vague arrow in the air had the effect of sending the old fellow off at a tangent.
The titles, such as "Great Violinists," "Harmony in Thirteen Lessons," and "How to Sing," did not intrigue me, but in idly turning the pages of this "Popular American Composers" I came across a half-tone reproduction of a photograph of Paul Dresser, the only less celebrated brother of Theodore Dreiser, with a short biography of the composer of On the Banks of the Wabash.
In her excitement, Cicely had mistaken her distance; she had flatted by a full half-tone the final upper note, reducing the tonal climax of the overture to the level of a comic song. A few days later, however, Cicely was destined to make an impression upon something besides the nerve centres of her hero. As a rule, Mr.
