was open and littered with a heap of papers of all kinds. Near to her a pile of music sheets Vil- lth Lines of dancing notes with an eager pen. she turned the pile over. "Mazurka," she read, by Gamer “,[.u-go," by Garner Owen. “spring Dance," by Gerber Owen- she read through some of the music the tunes dancing in her brain. but they were uninspired and impos- sibly amateurish, she thought.

she had almost reached the bot- tom of the pile when she came upon a piece-—"\/alse Surprise." by 9”‘ ner Owen.

A casual glance and her attention was rivetted. Twice she ran through the piece of music in her mind. it bore a recent, date. Almost at the end she read, pencllled on the mar- giu——~“Ihsplred by Howard Ashley. Uood."

sheila rolled up the sheets 01 music and thrust. them into the th- ner pocket of her fur cost.

When she left. the house In Gar- ner Owen's car, with the steady and staid Jackson driving, as Usual, she

carried it with her. And that night in her studio she played in over nor. once or twice, but several times upon the Guamerlus. Then she locked the piece of music sway.

THE SECRET

A week later Shelia gave Cezanne his answer finally and irrevocably. He seemed a little shaken.

“Why?" he said. "Was it because of the trick of the scalded hand?"

"Not altogether. Paul, you made me believe you gave me the Guar- nerlus."

He looked at her for a long time without speaking, his eyebrows drawn together anxiously.

"I was Jealous. At first I did it for a Joke. Tilen, when 1 had let the joke go too far, I thought it might help me to marry you if you thought I had given yo_u the violin. No. ‘I did not give it to 5'0“. Sheila. though, all the same. I wish I bad."

He begged her to spend one last evening with him and she did dill- lng at the flat and wishing him good luck and good-bye when at last sin.- left him.

He kissed her hand.

“I shall always mink of you ten- deny, Sheila,’ he said. "You are the only woman J. lmve ever loved. ’

The next day be vacated his flat and within a week he had llowu from Croydou to Paris by air liner; he was on his way.

Shells felt a little sad. She had not heard from Howard for some

time. The winter days and nights were cold and dark and wet. But

Howard would be home for Christ- mas. ‘

In the meantime Sheila had agreed to appear as soloist at a symphony concert at the Queens hall, in the second week in Decem- ber.

Martonettl, the celebrated conduc- tor, was in London and the concert. had been arranged for his benefit. Sheila had been engaged as an ad- dltlonal attraction at a big fee and Clayton was responsible for the agreement.

_l.lu, by train, leaving his car.

She submitted her selection and also agreed to play Mozart's Con- certo in A Major with the orchestra. This second appearance would hall- mark her fame, Sheila knew.

The day after she had signed the contract sheila went for a walk, feeling the need of the exercise and wanting to be in the open air. she did not wander aimlessly, but with a purpose. Her steps led her through pleasant places to the tail mahogany doors of 3. I-lampstead Bank.

she entered, sent in her name,

and asked to see, the manager. He was courteous and pleased to see her. He had been present at the Albert Hall and heard her play. Fur- thermore he had been told a great deal about her by his client. How- ard Ashley.

They talked commonplaces for a while and then, "Can you tell me where I can find Howard?" she adr- ed. “I've mlslaid the address he sent me."

The Bank Manager was sorry. Mr. Ashley was at Brussels, but he had gone on to the Hague, then to Ber- I-Ic intended to visit Paris before re- turning home. but the Bank had received no communication from him for more than a week.

sheila took the blow smllingly.

Asking to be forgiven for his pre- sumption the Bank Manager com- plimented her upon her playing. He had been charmed by her bril- llence at the Albert Hall, he said.

“It. was my wonderful violin," said Sheila.

"It has remarkable depth of tone." the Manager agreed.

“But it was reckless of Howard to give so much for it," said sheila. "Five hundred Kuineas is a lot of money to give for a vlolln."

“Well. he can afford it," replied the Manager.

Not a muscle of Sheila's pretty face moved, her eyes were big and innocent.

"I tell you what," she said. "I would like to have the cheque. Wills’ must have cashed it long ago. lwould like to have it framed. Could you give it to me?"

The Manager smiled.

"it would be against all the rules," he replied. “and besides it was sent to Mr. Ashley with a statement of his account long ago."

Sheila hurried from the bank. She did not go to Garner Owen‘; by inn and tube, but tsxied there.

He was delighted to see her, as always. The sight of her radiant face and shining eyes told him that she was supremely happy.

"Well. what now." he asked.

She gripped him by the front of his coat and looked up into his grave

l'0I’|-lllhly.

“You and your secrets you must keep," she taunwd. "Why couldn't you have told me that Howard bought that violin and gave it to me,"

He pulled a face. "Well, as long as Wllls‘s told

ergd. "I haven't been near their

:5... I went, to I-lowmi’s Bank and t_.. t°‘1‘l3:,°y‘ou did. all? Tooled the ,1 pposc?" ‘

Oévllen decided that Paul Cezanne was not the only person up to mm. but that s mlshty lot 01 diflercnce existed between the two triclcstsrs. Sheila looked down. per- haps because her lips trembled_a little and she did not want him to see.

ENCORE!

Even the Ashleys did not know I-loward's address, and after trying in w ‘W1: up the attemp. ut e ten stating definitely that he 7.- be home some time in Christmas week.

sheila prepared herself for the Queen's Hall concert, going again to Mario's music room in C‘ -' Road for guidance.

He was astonished at the renewed delight with which she Dlfled the precious violin, for she had told him. after she had lost her faith in Paul Cezanne. that she would not play upon the Gusmerius any more. Now it was with reluctance that she put down the instrument.

she has mastered all the move- ments of the Mozart concerto. and spent the day before the concert in idleness.

The bookings has been heavy and the hall would be clicked. Clayton told her. All her friends would be there, including Garner Owen and the Ashleys.

Sheila left the house in Pleasant Place for the concert with all the eagerness of a schoolgirl going going home for the holidays. She had the precious violin in its case beside her, and her father and mother accompanied her. and Maria me maid, as a rare treat, was cum-1 lug to hear her play in public. w

Sheila were a new dress of blackl velvet with just a touch_ of silver and a spray of orchids as a relief and it pair of small silver cinder- clla slippers made for the occasion.

In the dressing-room she met[ Marlonetti. who beamed as he i shook hands.

“They have led me to expect something exceptional, Signorlna," he said graciously.

Sheila rested until it was time for the concert and when all was ready she wa’-kcd on to the big stage 3'r.::sf\llly and to a hurricane of ap- plausc.

Murmurs of admiration swept the big hall as she raised the magic vio- lin, for she looked very pretty and very young. The rich varnish of the violin seemed to glow in the bright light.

She began the first movement at the concerto with a surety of touch that satisfied the critical audience and at once she conquered. She made never a semblance of a fault right through the long and inspired composition and all the time her eyes roamed along the lines of seam before her, searching for her friends. She could do this without destroying concentration.

She found most of them and she smiled happily as they rose to clap their hands and shout out their braves.

She rested sparing a little time for the friends who came to con- Bratulate her. And then she was on again, to play two delightful “Rom- ances," whilst she reserved her specialty for an encore.

If the audience should fail her she hardly knew what she would do, for she had laid her plans.

But the audience did not fail her. There was no doubt as to an en- core. They literally shook the hall with their applause, and Sheila re- turned to take her stand far away from the music rest, her violin ready. The cheering died and a hush followed.

Garner Owen was lolling back in. his seat. with legs crossed and eyes half-closed. suddenly he sat boll; upright. Then he sprang erect, wav- ing his hand, his Mephlstophellah face lengthened in surprise.

“No, no," he cried out. "Achl No!"

“S‘sh!” said some who were seated near him. and he sank down him his seat again. shaking his head from side to side in mote protest.

Sheila went on playing with ex. qulslte touch and easy grace, the lovely melody of the light but charming composition creating a deep impression on the listeners.

This was something new. What was it? Nobody had ever heard it played before. Habltues of the concerts turned to one another, asking questions, What was it? Charming, utterly charming, A new vulso, but such alluring, haunting melody.

It was by Strauss. No. it was by Franz Lehar. It was by Drigo, Pol- dlnl-—. No. it was not by any of these. Then, who the deuce had written it?

Towards the end. when the valsc swung back again to the delightful Opening movement. with a. little added emphasis in the playing. a ripple of delight ran through the hall, and the applause was deafen- ing when she had finished.

Instantly Garner Owen was out of his place and pushing his way towards the platform, Shelia step- ped iarward, violin tucked under her arm, bowing gracefully. Garner Owen called out something and shells laughed as she looked down at him. '

"Ladies and gentlemen," she said as the clamour began to die away,

“the lovely melody is ‘Vslse Sur- prise.’ It is entirely new. and I played it to-night for the first time m public. It was composed by Mr. Ronald Garner Owen."

Garnet Owen gave her one long look. his jaw dropping and then, waving his arms above his head like a drowning swimmer, as the audience applauded him and laughed, he made a bee-line for the exit, his cheeks flushed crimson. Through the door he flung himself. and there he ran full tilt into Marlo Caslnl.

"what a girl! She ought not to have done it," stammened Garner Owen.

"And what a va.lse."returned Mm-lo, his face one great spreading grin, “And you composed it? Ronald. go back and make your bow."

Sheila was still acknowledging the applause and bouquets of flow- crs were being handed up to her. Amcng them was I! great bunch of long siem roses, whose sweet scent was familiar and pregnant with 1)l(':\sanI‘. memories.

she hugged them in her right arm. touching her cheek to the prtals of the ‘glorious blooms. v,-lulst she held the Guarnerlus and the bow under her left arm and in her left hand.

The rosm made a patch of lovely color against the black of her -imnle dress. Her eyes fell on the card ntiachcd to them.

"With love. Howard."

And somehow, us if her eyes were made of steel and a magnet drew them. she looked across the hall and saw him.

Howard was there, standing up a little distance back nnd applauding, looking at her with the old fond smile she knew so well. He was sun- tanned and looked very handsome.

She left the bouquets and the baskets for the attendants to carry after her. and with a final bow left the stage.

Gamer Owen came to her.

"Sheila," he said. shaking an ad- monlshing finger, "you stole my composition. You had no right to play it without. my sanction. You-—"

She gave him a peck of a kiss.

"Nonsense." she said. "It is done. I have played it. but I can't fight your battles with the music pub- lishers. Ronald. be a dear, and go and find Howard."

He looked at the bunch of roses and he glanced at the violin. Then he turned and hurried away.

It was lucky he found Howard, who was about to leave the hall and had donned his overcoat and opera hat.

"Wait a minute," said the sma- teur musician. gripping him by the arm. “you can't slink away like that. Shelia wants to see you."

"Not now. To-morrow——"

“Bahl" said Garner Gwen," she knows all about that violin come on."

"Willis broke his word and told her." he said angrily.

"Willis did not. Shelia fooled your Bank Manager,‘ ‘informed Gamer Owen. "Don't be an idiot and come on."

They found sheila alone with Mario when they reached her dress- ing room. Howard flushed so their eyes met.

She went to him. blushing a deep red. and kissed him.

“Why didn’i. you tell me where you were staying?" she asked. with o reproschiul glance. "I did not know where to write or how to find you."

His face cleared and a happy smile curved his lips.

“Well, I've come back.” he answered;

"You missed my debut at the Albert Hall," she said severely.

“I did not. I listened in in Brussels,’ ‘he answered, "You were wonderful, Sheila. If only you could have heard what they said about you over there."

Undisguised admiration shone in his deep blue eyes. He was very greatly proud of her.

"The year of probation will soon be up. Shelia.‘ ’he whispered.

"ft is up," she answered, and her eye; held a soft luminous light. It expired to-night. It was ‘eclded by a gift of roses."

Garner Owen had gone out. Now he came bustling in ggain.

"Get on your wraps, Sheila," he said. “The flowers can go home in a taxi with Maria. You are all coming back to Wessex Gardens with me. Howard as well. I'll take no refusal. I want you to give me back my composition. Shelia. And you'll
