A Strange
Meeting
it Proved an Eventful One
By ARNOLD TREAT
Though we lire apt not to realize it
we are very much hedged abSut. Those
of us who are pleasantly situated are
like one lu a garden from which there
Is no egress unless he chooses to step
Into a jungle to be devoured by wild
beasts. Women are more subject to
this confinement than men. because
they have not the same physical
strength.
I will illustrate by a story—a story In
which I liore a subordinate part.
I wan in m.v younger days a pedes
trian ^lobe trotter. I presume that If
the bicycle had then been invented I
should have traveled on a wheel or
later <>n a motor, but at that time no
one had heard of either of these modes
of conveyance, and. being fond of
walking. 1 walked. At the time of uiy
story I was making a pedestrian tour
in (ieruuuy. The country, is thickly
settled, and there are many towns
quite war together: consequently 1
found tu.i method of progression easy.
piens.-Hit and healthful.
1 started one morning from Dresden
on the road to Leipzig and was trudg
ing along merrily when I met on the
road a girl about twenty years old
whose appearance struck me the mo
ment I looked at her. She was of tiiv
German type—h-iir very light, eyes
very blue. Her apparel was that of a
lady, oiilv very lauch worn and soiled.
Her shoes scarcely protected her from
the ground, certainly not from the
jdampnest.. Ou her ftni» was a look
weary and sad. Indeed, she was it pic
ture of atliueuce turned to poverty. I
addressed her. taking care to do so re
spect."uliy, with my hat in my hand,
aud sympathetically. Kvldcntli she
had not been used, at least not recent
ly. to being thus addressed, for she
took uiy speaking (■> her kindly.
I "Cood morning, fraulein," 1 said to
her. "It seems to tue that you should
lie riding rather than walking."
"Alas, iierr. 1 have not the means to
! pay for riding."
"Have you far to go?
"I am going (o Dresden."
Slit* seemed to need sustenance.
There coil 111 l>e no impropriety in my
offering Iter food, and I had. besides the
leather bag strapped to uiy back, a
basket satchel slung to my waist con
taining a luncheon. *
"I have come from Dresden this
morning." 1 said, "and the distance is
at least live miles. You cannot do
that without being fortified."
I uuslt'ng my lunch basket, opened
it and saw by the eager look in her
eyes that she was very hungry. Look
ing about for a seat. I espied a flat
stone by th* roadside and led the way
thiiber, the girl following me half re
luctantly. There I took out tlie sand
wiches. sausages, cheese and such oth
! er articles as are provided at a Uer
j man inn aud oiTered them to her. She
ate as though she had had no food
for some time: In the basket also was
a pint bottle of wine, of which I took
i a sip only and Insisted ou her drlnk
I ing the rest.
During her refreshment I gave her
J every opportunity to tell me the story
which 1 lelt sure was conuected with
her being so far out of her natural
sphere, for not only her dress and ap
pearance but her lauguage bespoke
th<s faiiy. This I was able to Judge,
for f had studied at Heidelberg and
sp(.'ke German quite readily. But she
disregarded my hints and could not be
induced to speak of the past.
As to the.present she was more com
municative.. She told me that she had
been a mejnber of a little strolling
band that gave performances, her part
being to sing. But they had taken all
the contributions of t':ose before whom
they performed to themselvvs aud
gave her nothing. She had ou.'y just
left them and was going to Dresden to
look out for some other way of making
a living.
"I can suggest an employment," I
said, "by which I think you can earn
money, l'ou have a very beautiful
head, neck and shoulders. There are
artists in Dresden who would pay you
to pose for them."
"Do you tbiuk so?'1 she asked, quite
interested.
"If my artistic perceptive faculties
are of any value they surely will."
This seemed to encourage her. When
we had finished our luncheon aud she
had been nlso fortltied by the wine
she said to me:
"The only way I can make a return
for what you have given me Is to sing
for you."
"No return Is needed, but I should
be happy to hear you sing."
She sang for me a German ballad.
Her voice was without cultivation and
came out. so to speak, by tits and
starts, now lneffeotl\ e, now gushing
forth like a spring of abundant clear
water. At such times I was aston
ished at its volume. When she had
finished I said to her:
"T'raulein. It Is not as a model yon
should spend your time, but as a stu
dent of music. You have a voice that
If cultivated will make much more
money 'for you than posing for artists."
"Why do you say that?" she asked,
looking at me eagerly.
"Because there are both richness and
volume in your voice."
"But." she continued after a thought
ful silence, "to study music under th«
masters require* money, #nd that »
have not."
I should h<ivc been only too glad to
help her In this respect bat'there Is an
unwritten law that a man cannot give
to a woman except under certain ex
ceptional circumstances.
"1 will uia-tie another suggestion to
you.": I said, "supplementary to my
first.. Suppose you pose for artists, and
lit you .make more than you require
for your living you may give the sur
plus In exchange for Instruction."
Her face lit up with hope- "Ach,
herr. you have given me a valuable
plan! And If It is successful I shall
owe everything to you. You have told
me that there is a value to artists in
my head and neck, and you have told
me that I have a voice. Neither of
these things I knew before today.
Goodby, and God bless yon!"
"One moment," I said, "before we
part. I should like you to carry back
this basket affair in which I carrlod
my luncheon to the landlady of the ■
inn from which I came. She furnishes
these receptacles to travelers as an
advertisement to her hostelry."
I showed the girl -'.he name of the
Inn sewed lu worsted letters on the bag.
While she was not looking at me I
slipped a piece of gold into It, then
handed It to her. I knew tpy landlady
well and was sure that if vbe found
the money iuside she would compel the |
bearer to take it, having no right to It
herself. It could not very well be re
turned to me. Hegretting that I dared
not do more for the poor girl, I bade
her goodby, she appearing grateful
for my sympathy.
Five years had passed. I had settled
down a married man and had given up
traveling abroad on foot. But 1 had
not given up a taste for the One arts to j
which I was born. One after another !
prima donnas were visitlug New York.
I went one ulght to the opera In New
York when the Academy of Music was j
still the only opera house In that city.
When the prima donna came upon the
stage h#r face seemed familiar to me.
and when she sang 1 recognized In her j
voice certain qualities that ^had heard
In that of the girl 1 had met between
Leii>zlg and Dresden five years before.
Perha[>s 1 might not have recoguized
the face alone or the voice alone, but j
the two together convinced me that
the lady on the stage was the girl I
had met abro.id.
I kept my seat till the end of the last
act. wheu. taking out my card. 1 scrib
bled beneath my uame in pencil. "On
the road to Dresden; luncheon, with a
pint of German wine," and sent it to j
the prlmn donna behind the scenes. It j
was not long before I received an Invi
tation to meet the lady, whom I found
waiting for me before driving to her I
hotel. The pressure of the baud with
which she greeted me told me how
well she remembered and how appre- I
clative she was of the trifling favor I
had doue her.
"This Is no place to talk?' she said.
"We people of the stage always sup
after our work, and you must come
with me for a return of the luncheon
you gave me when 1 was famished."
I eutered the carriage with her and
on arrlvlug at her hotel found set out
In her private parlor an elaborate sup.
per. We sat down to table together,
and I nsked her to tell me what bad
happened to her since we parted on
the road five years before.
"I will begin back of that," she said.
"I will tell you how I came Into the
condition you found me. But I tell It
to you only because 1 consider that my
being In my present position Is due to
your friendly advice."
Before proceeding further she show
ed me on a cbaiu about her neck the
gpld coin 1 had slipped Into the lunch
basket which 1 had sent to my land
lady.
"1 am the daughter of a German
baron. I was brought up, as most Eu
ropean girls are, to understand that
my parents would choose the man I
should marry. My father chose for me
a man about his own age who was
very wealthy and as disagreeable as
he was wealthy. I was not In lore
with any one else, but I rebelled
ugalnst marrying a man I loathed. My
father told me to submit or leave the
home in which 1 bad been carefully
brought up, not thinking that I would
do the latter. That same night when
all were In bed 1 left in the clothes in
which you met me and with what
money I could scrape together.
"Whether my father tried to find me
or not I do not know. I think he has
considered me dead to him. At any
rate, I have never beard from him
since I left home. As for my mother,
though she might yearn for me, she
would be too submissive to my father
to oppose bis will In anything.
"After leaving you I went to Dres
den, where 1 posed for artists, as you
suggested, and, getting a little money
together, began the study of music. I
did not need to make a living that way
long, for my voice proved so promising
that I was taken up by one who was
glad to pay for the finishing of my ed
ucation. I mnklng a contract to sing
under his management as soon as I
had completed ray studies."
I spent a pleasant hour listening to
her recital, during which time she
told me that she was wedded to her
profession and would never take a hus
band. a resolution she kept. On the
following day my wife called on her.
Invited her to our house, and she after
ward spent the most of her leisure
time there. She always wore the gold
piece I had surreptitiously forced her
to accept when she was without a
kreutzer in the world. - -
Soon after my prima donna became
famous, after one of her returns from
America to the fatherland, she visited
her parents. She found than quite re
duced from their former grandeur. By
this time their daughter was becoming
rich, and she continued bc long as they
lived to poor gold into thoir lap*. •*
DRUGS AND CRIME.
A pew species of offender is
making his appearance In our
prisons as u result of the stead
ily growing drug tin bit—those
who steal iii order to buy drugs.
They come to us ns men and
boys charged with petty larceny,
but they are victims of drugs,
for If they di(J» uot indulge the
chances are that they would not
steal Few of us can know the
extent to which the use of drugs
has spread. Mothers write to
me by almost every mail for ad
vice as to measures they may
take for the saving of their sons
and daughters. They face, as
we do, the fact that heroin is a
drug to which nearly every one
may have access. It is under no
ban, and because of that 1t has
become the most generally used
of ail. We wre seekingnow to
secure at Albany legislation
which will put heroin in the for
bidden class.—Miss Ivatherine B.
Davis. Commissioner of Correc
tions, New York City.
SCHOOLS FAILURES.—HILL
Inaccuracy and Impracticability Are
Chief Charges.
St Paul.—"Our common nnd high
schools are dismal failures. Accuracy
Is not taught in the schools, and accu
racy is the main essential to success."
said James J. Hill nt the annual ban
quet of the Northwestern Vale Alum
n! association. Continuing he said:
"The time must come when public
educational Institutions must be more
practical. My first public advice to nil
schools would be to simplify the cur
riculum by separating all "facts that
are so' from 'facts that arc not so.'"
