Anne and Eleanor returned to bow again and again, but the audience refused to be satisfied, until Anne, in her clear, musical voice, made a little speech of appreciation, which was received with acclamation.
The concert drew to a triumphant close.

After Eleanor's second solo, she repaired to the dressing room, where she was immediately surrounded by a group of admiring girls and kept so busy answering questions as to how long she had studied the violin and where, that she did not see Grace Harlowe enter the right wing with Miss Nevin and a tall, dark-haired stranger who glanced quickly about as though in search of some one.
"Where is she ?" he said.

"Find her at once.

But, no, wait a moment.

She shall hear me play! I will win the heart of my child through the music she loves, I may add one little solo to your programme ?" he turned questioningly to Grace.
"Well, I should rather think so," gasped Grace.
