Bcbanl mi swept down the straet wiu uu outers, at xeu upurtad, reborn and fiercely akin to this rabble. He stopped though as a cry went up. Then his eyes wld- enea. SKtlng In an open carriage near by was Carta Donner. A group of marcners naa already surrounded her. Schani pushed forward to the coach. He must get her out of this. "Walt a minute. Don't touch her. She's one of us, I tell you." He flung his arms wide. "She's Carte. Donner, a singer, an artist ones our uoaaess oz Uberty." It ran like wildfire through the crowd as they picked her up and carried her forward on their shoulders. She bent and whispered venomously to Schani, "You should stick to your music, Mr. Strauss." Now they were at Count Hohen fried's palace. Schani knew that he must avert more trouble. Rush ing through the door at the upper landing he grabbed Hohenfried. "Dont call to her. If they find .aut she's a friend of yours, they'll m her." . ' Everything seemed to happen at once (then. Struggling furiously he tried to put Schani out Then & young officer dashed into the room and went to Hohenfried's aid. Schani was breathing hard. Reach ing out he tweaked the officer's . nose. "Mind your own business." $ .The next few hours were like a bad dream. The uprising had been put down and Schani, along with all the others, was taken to .a tumbril cart to be driven to prison. A voice beside him spoke. It was Cartas She, of all .people, had been arrested. "Mr. Strauss, will you please get off my dress." Then she added shivering, Uoddftss of The eoaehiYian sent V sly wink to . Schani. There .are always the Vienna vwooas. a lovely .ridevv The , Vienna WoodsV Schani directed and the ' horses started.' Comfortable and warm beneath their robe Schani and Carta fell asleep. -The night passed and' the gray of dawn lifted. It was morn ing, clear, bright and sunny. The birds were trilling and everything Carls and Schani awakened at the same moment and with the realisation that they were in each outers arms moved to opposite sides of the . coach. .: The coachman said expansively. "Wit BT tvnw ' in - Ki . Vl.it. wooas. sou nave a long and beau tiful day ' ahead of yovu", ',: In burst of exuberance he cracked his - whip and his horse arave a little jump. The carriage jerked and Carta and Schani were thrown in each others' embrace asrain. What use, enmity, bitterness? They laughed together. Then Schani be gan to whistle with the birds. Presently he was hum ml nr. Then he stopped uncertainly. A melody was there. If he could only catch It Suddenly Carta's lovely coloratura rippled out con tinuing the music in his thouarhta. Now they all began to sing. Carta and Schani looked deep into each marching song. ThenKlensl -and Dudelman rushed at him and there was a violent reunion., They atop-' ped however, abashed at the sight Turning to Schani, KlenEi said heartuy, "Now that- you're " free, oome ana piy lor us."uuregard lng protests, . ha ' called . to the crowd, ''Here Is our.

That-was over now. When she was standing bealde him she began evenly, '"Tony, I'm sorry, but I'm not going back to Vienna with you." He was like a ramrod his slate gray eyes cold and hard. "Strauss is in mere, isn't he?" "Tea" An oath tare from him. Then. Liberty, Just what I' v always wanted to be.H '..- The tumbrils halted! A. bar ricade blocked their way. -Schani stared. In the light of the flares he could see Klenzl and Dudel man from the orchestra. Good Heavens, they were all in it to gether. He looked again. They were making signs. There was a plan afoot. Dudelman and Klenzl would start a fight so he and i 'aria could get away. Schani was about i to decline the offer when the men went into action. The fray was wild and exciting. Within sixty seconds, everyone, including the Uhlan guard were in a hand-to-hand scuffle. Schani lumped to the street Then he nut up his arms urgently. "Come on. m help you." ' She looked at him disdainfully. "Again?" "Hurry up, Liberty," someone n the tumbril said and gave her a gentle shove. In and out of streets, up an auey, across a courtyard tney ran. Once Carta stopped to pick cp her shoe. Then Schani saw a fiacre. "Hey. Coachman. Are you engaged?" "A man has to sleeo sometime," was the indifferent reply but the coachman's face lighted up as he V" d Carta. Ah, a pair of lovers. Thi: was different. He beamed. "Hrr. you two heard t hire's be.i i rcvciJtlon?" He started off uaci volunteered more infor mation. No h-! coi'H not go to Madame a adrcs. That street was barr'cai'ert. nd so too, was th.- Rontlemun'a street. Where to, th .-.? t.t.The Vienna? woods g J'4 ere alive with 1 1' melod. v fit. .LI.a'.1 .rrf Tr , , ! , others' eyes and something blared between them. They had been heading for the suburb of Grinzing just the other side of the Vienna woods. Arriv ing there, Schani and Carta dash ed straight for a piano and for two thrilling hours they worked. Dimly, Schani had decided that his new composition would be en titled, "Vienna Woods." Finally, Carta rose and went to the door. It was then that Schani became aware of her again. Out side, someone else was carrying on the song with a guitar. He rose and followed her. Without a word he grasped her hands and drew her out to the dance floor. Round and round they whirled until they were in a little arbor adjoining the garden. They were intoxicated, dizzy with a newfound rapture. Schanl's Hps pressed hers and ecstasy beat from one heart to the other. "Oh darling," she murmured, touching her breast 'Tm pounding so In here " "Mine has stODned." Then he tlhoved away. Poldi. He could see her trusting face. "It's Impossible Carta. Oh, my beautiful Carta." There was a long throbbing mo ment between them. She shut her eyes and thought "He has re membered his wife, the little bride that he married out of pique a few weeks ago. I thought I had made him forget. I love him so." Her lids flew open. "It's your marriage. Isn't It? But I think I could fight death himself if he came between us." A crowd of tattered men were forming Into the tavern ground. Happy shouting and s'nging filled the place. Schani could hear his "You're going with me now Carta or regret It. Both of you." There was Ice in her breast but she bowed before the Inevitable. She would return now. It was best to avoid a scene. Later, she and Schani would talk, together, make plans, see what their future held for them. "Very well Tony Shall we start?" , . Schani had Just finished".. the March when Mrs. Bruck, the Inn keeper's wife approached Tilm. She was fuming inwardly. How dared they have fooled her this way? And she had thought they were married. Hmmph. Fine doings. Coming here with one man and going off with another. "I just thought you would like to know, Mr. Strauss," she said maliciously, "that the young lady nas left" Schani looked at her dazedly. "Left? When? Where did she go? Quickly, tell me." Mrs. Bruck sniffed. "That's not my business, Mr. Strauss." In a heavy silence Schani left the stand and went indoors with Klensl and Dudelman. So it was over. Would he ever see her again? She had come into his life and gone out of It like a will o ' the wisp. Someone was holding up a beer mug. "Long live the Emperor," he cried. Schanl's gaze strayed to' the por trait on the wall. Then his eves almost started from his head. "You see that nose?" he gasped. "That nose on the Emperor?" Klenzl enroled. "What about It? It's a nosa." But Schani was remembering that vounsr officer who had Infprfurfd n m.nfc yearly xranuc with worry she had sat at the window until sunrise. And now all day, he: had been working like a madman, , re fusing to answer questions, taking his proffered food grudgingly. Even his mother had remarked upon it She glanced at the music. "It's beautiful Schani. What made you think of It now?" His words came In a shout "How do I know? Must I analyze every note? I write as music comes to me. Out of my life, out of my experience, my Inspiration, out of Heaven-knows-what" She ignored the outburst and poured the coffee. "You must be tired Schani." Gesturing wildly, ha sprang up. "What are you driving at? Why should I be tired? I think it's you who ought to He down. You look pale and tired." She spoke gently. "It's only natural that a wife can't sleep when her husband is out in danger maybe." Her serenity enraged him the more. "Then you'll have to stop mat. i-m not your prisoner that you must keep guard over mo. We're not chained to each other." All at once though, he broke. Cross ing to her he kissed her. "Forgive me for shouting Poldi. I don't know what's the matter with me." She cocked her head and said whimsically, "I wouldn't change you for the best-tempered man alive, a Knock at the door and the maid entered. A Count Hohen fried was waiting downstairs. Ho wanted to talk to Mr. Strauss. Poldi began to sparkle. Perhaps this meant a concert for Schani. She went swiftly to the door. "Now call me the minute he's Tone.'' Schani was standing stiffly erect as Hohenfried entered a moment later. His brain spun. What had ever made him think he could pull the Emperor's nose and not pay a penalty? His visitor looked around iron ically. "I'm sorry to interrupt your work Mr. Strauss but this is im portant." His eyes snapped. "Blunt ly, I suggest that you leave Vienna within ..forty-eight hours. ' Schani stepped back, shocked. "Leave Vienna? Is this a com mand?" "Please understand. Mr. Strauas that I am here unofficially. How ever, if you should think of refus ing you would find yourself under Immediate arrest" He started for the door. "I hope you will not And It difficult to forget Vienna.' Poldi was in the room before Schani realized it Dully, he told her about the order of exile. She clung to him. "But 3caauf, what will we do?" He flung his head back defiant ly. "We'll be happier. I don't need Vienna." He was talking more to himself than to her. "I can write my music where I am. All I need Is myself and my piano and you, Poldi. Don't you see?" . Of course, Schani." She laughed too loudly. "And In Paris TH spend all your money on clothes." But for a sickening seconu they probed each others' eyes and found the truth.. Then, "Come, oh Poldi. We'll go down and tell Mama. What a surprise this will be." large 7Mc;Vfew.7 7-8c 7 3-8; No. a,. l8c U few 5c.
