"The chorus may wait," he said, "Look at your scores meanwhile, meine Herren, meine Damen and notice the marks! "Ah, Madame." A slim figure with a cloak about her shoulders, bareheaded, approached from the wings; her curls, cut short like a boy's, sparkled and gleamed. The Kapellmeister surveyed her coldly as she drew nearer, and then he turned and seated himself at the piano.

"Get out of the way, you fool!" cried the Kapellmeister sharply, and he pushed the man back and strode forward: "The child has fainted! She lies here with her head on her arms, and her cheek is white as the moon itself." He lifted her gently and put his arm under her shoulders, supporting her: "Get some Kirsch at once," he cried to the miller, "Stop gaping, man!

Her throat was bare; it was white and full. The Kapellmeister held her gently and a film came over his eyes as he gazed: "How young she is!" he murmured, "like some beautiful boy. Her chin is firm there is will power there. Her brows are intelligent; her whole personality is one of feeling and temperament. It is a face in a thousand. What is her name, her history? How has she suffered?

That did not keep him from slapping his thigh a moment later and crying out upon the misfortune of having had to go away he who never went away just when the Herr Kapellmeister was coming. Schulz's telegram had only reached him that morning an hour after the train went; he was asleep when it arrived and they had not thought it worth while to wake him.

Not all the majestic harmonies of the inspired Kapellmeister could drown that terrible discord. The next day it was worse. There was a goodly number of South Tredegar people summering at the Inn, and hence no lack of companionship.

He might have retired now, as a good Kapellmeister should, and lived in obscure comfort for the rest of his days. The next Prince, another Anton, dismissed the band and singers, but to the annuity of 1,000 florins which Nicolaus had left Haydn he added 400 florins. The story of these thirty years is soon told.

The crackle of a leaf and they are off flying, with their muzzles high and their eyes wild. Na! I hear nothing but the wheel below grinding and squeaking, and the splash of the water." "He is coming up the stairs," cried Kaya, "Open the door for him, Marta, and let the Kapellmeister in."

The esteem in which he was generally held did serve to pass over the drunkard's freaks, and he used constantly to come to the aid of the household with money. Besides the modest pension which he enjoyed as retired Kapellmeister, he was still able to earn small sums by giving lessons and tuning pianos.

His father had been a soldier, but, owing to extravagance and folly, had left the career of arms, and, being an educated musician, had become by turns attached to an orchestra, director of a theatre, Kapellmeister, and wandering player never remaining long in one position, for he was essentially vagrant and desultory in character.

Kaya's eyes began to glisten and sparkle: "It is only the bird's part!" she cried, "and I am hidden in the flies, so no one can see me. Ah I am happy! I am well, Doctor you have made me well!" Presently the old woman brought in the soup and the Doctor rose: "Will you come with me, Herr Kapellmeister?" he said, "We can smoke below in the mill, while the Fräulein eats. I have still a few minutes."
