Yellow Cab Co. “Phone 24. Any Hour of the 24” ( 1177-1178 if it’s Busy By JANE GORDON (©, 1923, Weatern Newspaper Union.) HE WAS a sleek black cat, the* companion and solace of his young mistress. Gay was the mis taken name her parents had given her, for gayety of any kind yvas a rarety in the, girrs"li£e., ( ' M,; H6rs the constant problem: |jc:: making ends meet in the struggle for existence. • But in her happy heart, for it was a happy heart, Gay carried a secret—the secret of j a great am bition for which no sacrifice could be too much. In order to bring about this desired achievement Gay taught In a small town school. Every week Gay put aside a part of her salary toward the trip abroad, whieh should, some day, lead to the road of fame: ,, In the morning when she climbed the crooked hill to the schoolhouse Bobby would follow. He liked to hide behind the bushes to jump out at her surprising!^ And when Gay returned, in the afternoon—he seemed to know the hpur of her coming and wait In the narrow hallway to greet her. But when: the bell of the white church tolled in the valley Gay could not trust her pet to follow on to the house of worship. Bobby was piously I inclined or he had not forgotten a soft-cushioned seat whereon he had napped, after seeking his adored one. Certain it was that though the black cat might be sent on his homeward way each morning, fie could nojt be forced back on the Sabbath. So Gay locked him for safe keeping in the sunny room. , _ Every one knew Bobby; Barnes, the butcher, hoarded against the cat’s coming choice bits of meat; the mil liner kept for him a saucer of cream. When Gay at her piano practiced those sonatas which were one day to prove her talent, Bobby would jump up to walk boldly across the white keys; And when his mistress would ruthlesly push him aside, that' was the beginning of a game. On a certain morning she arose early to tint the old white organdie a delicate pink, in preparation for the event of the evening. It was through his friendship for the school princi pal that tlie great mhsician Was com ing to Lindenville to give a recital in the church. Gay had confided, In an ticipation, her future ambition to the school principal that again he might use his influence in persuading this friend of his college days to pass judgment on ’ her 9>ssible musical promise. The principal, ‘sharing her secret, intended to ask* Grant Sinclair to give the young teacher a hearing. A grand piano had been placed on fhe 'church platform. Gay went, in joyous anticipation, toJd,t in the front of the au’ditorium'. ~ T j Grant, pausing In his opening intro duction, looked over the house for his Inspiration, it was his custom to seek out a sympathetic listener, and in a manner play to that person. Tonight his.gaze fell upon Gay’s uplifted rapt face. He smiled as he turned back to the piano. Grant Sinclair began to play a spring song. He had foygotten himself in the rendering, his audience listening breathlessly,1 then, rudely, it .came to him—low, unmistakable laughter. The ; unaccountable thing continued. , Unconsciously, in his hurt indigna tion, he looked down at the girl. The blue eyes of Gay were wide with hor-1 ror. Everyone knew Bobby , and everyone must smile. She had 'for gotten that he would follow to church, and now she knew what was going to happen. The black cat, walking leisurely about the platform, would soon spring to the piano keys—which is exactly what Bobby did. The spring song was rudely brbken. And when the affronted musician attempted to push the cat from before him, Bobby, with all the enjoyment of his, favorite game, was swiftly back across the keys. ^ With a breathless rush, Gay wa$ upon the platform, the cat in hei arms. sorry—sorry—' sne .murmured confusedly, and hurried out through the church door. k. Later, at the home of the school principal, Grant Sinclair was called to the telephone. Gay, in the telephone booth of the comer drug store, re peated her abject regret. The mu sician’s voice came back, cheerfully reassuring. “You are to give me a hearing In the church tomorrow ai three,” he told his troubled listener Your principal has been telling me about you.’* And when, the next day, Gay wenl diffidently toward him down the church aiSle, the man whose skill wae known and heralded, came forward to meet her. And when she had played for him he was kind. For he knew that though Gay could play, the master-touch would neter be hers. So, to her, Grant Sinclair said: “Go on, as you are doing. Teach your school, play when you w{li. ,1 will send you music, and I will stop from time to time, when I am near, to mark your progress.” / And it was, not many months aftei when the musician walked at Gay’s side, up the erooked hill. “May it not temper your disappoint ment, dear one,” Grant Sinclair said, “to know that you shall at least be the inspiration v of your ‘husband’* music?” ' > “With you always near,” Gay satis fyingly replied, “there can be no dis appointment anywhere I” House orderss weeping investiga tion Shipping Hoard.
