MONROF ST . CHICAGO right arm and fingers for a king's ransom. One evening Abraham came home fu!l of irossip. "Guess who I saw? Solomon Ginsberg, the fellow that used to sell me brasses in .Allen street.' As his father prattled along of Berg, Leon listened attentively, eagerly awaiting a word of Gina. At last it came. "And that daughter of his that's studying music, he says, she will come back soon. In the fall she goes to sing by the stage, maybe." Leon pretended to be highly abstracted. Hancock betook himself to Kansas and the old farm home for the summer and the Kantors went to a cottage resort in Maine. It was not a success. In that cynical community Leon alone was socially welcome. Then came the thunder clap of war in Europe. To Leon came only one thought — Gina was in Vienna — how would she get away? The papers printed sensational accounts of the difficulties of American tourists. Europe was a boiling chaos. Hancock came rushing East. He was full of the anxiety that beset everyone. The Kantors gave up their Maine cottage and hurried back to the Xew York suburb tliat they ca'led home. Leon was glum and silent through the days. His heart was heavy. At last in an afternoon paper he found the paragraph he had been seeking for days. Gina Berg, the singer, was safe aboard ship and coming home. His face lighted up. There was no need to tell his mother; she read it in Leon's face. "Money, money, it does anything? What's a thousand for a steamer tot for Sol Berg?" When the great boat docked Leon was in the crowd that stood about the pier, eagerly looking. But Sol Berg had used his open sesame of wealth. Gina was one of the first to touch foot on shore and swiftly she was borne away in her father's car, while Leon vainly waited. When evening came Leon wandered disconsolately home. He found the house bubbling with talk. Gina Berg and her father had been there, and she had seemed disturbed not to find Leon. "What did they want?" Leon could think of nothing else to say. "Why you, of course." His question had carried no cover for his feelings. His mother knew him too well. Then Leon motored alone out to the great home of the Bergs in Morristown. Gina came down to greet him. Their hands met as the hands of those who understand. "And now you're back Gina — what will you do?'' "I shall go on with my work — of course.'' There was a note of surprise in her voice. "I think if you have any sort of a gift and keep at it long enough you will succeed." "But it's not necessary, is it, Gina?" There was pleading in his tone. '"Not for my worldly self, Leon, but for me it is." "Gina I" Leon's voice was vibrant and low. "I've been hoping ever since those days in Rome that you'd change your mind. 1 have never changed since that day of the ))icnic, (Jina, and all the lime I want you. Always I want you.'' "Oh Leon I You mustn't talk that way — you make it so hard for me." ''But, Gina. I can't help myself." Leon stood up with his hands held out to her. She faced him with tears in her eyes. "Leon. I can't — not yet." Whin, (Jina?'' '.Afler the war, Leon.'' ' Then you care — a little." Gina s eyes drooped and he drew htr lo him. The girl raised her head. "You'll not ask me again until then?" Leon promised and went home — praying for the end of the war that had hardly begun. "How lonj; rlo you think it will last?" he asked Hancock, to whom he looked for everything. Hancock could offer little encouragement. The news was all against it. Then deveopmenis followed faster and faster. There came the unrestricted submarine warfare. The parleying of diplomats and then the last word. The United States was in the war. Preparations came fast — the draft. Hancock came to say goodb)°e to Leon. "Sorry, but j'ou'll have to get a new manager. I am not going to wait to be drafted. I'm going now."' "We'll be waiting when you get back, Mr. Hancock," spoke up Mrs. Kantor. As Hancock departed the mother looked at Leon. She made bold to ask the question that she feared. ■"Leon, you wouldn't think of going?'' "Mother— I— I think I'll have to go. ' She shook her head. "Xo, not with vour talents. It wouldn't be right." ■'My son, that he should fight for Russia -that's folly ! " shouted Father Kantor. Leon played through a prosperous season to big successes. The Kantors took a house of great elegance on Fifth avenue. They were getting on. All Spring and Summer Leon played with growing popularity. Each day his mother was wondering when he should lay down his violin and take up the army's rifle. A great day came. Leon played a concert benefit for his own peop'e. It was such an audience as even Xew York seldom sees. It was a tremendous success. Fifteen times the audience recalled him. At the end of the concert .Abraham burst into his son's dressing room. "It has come Leon — it has come. Here is Mr. Elsass, the big manager, he wants to pay you two thou.sind a concert." Leon choked. "Xo papa, I can't.'' Mrs. Kantor, standing in the door, swallowed hard. She knew the meaning of it. Elsass, white-haired and dignified, entered. Leon nodded a greeting and took his hand. "It's generous of you — but I can't take it."' "Would you mind tellin" me why?'' "Xo — I'm going into the army." "Yes,'' said Els;iss slowly. "If I were younger I'd go too." SO Leon enlisted and went away to the training camp, a private in Uncle Sam's , rmy. And sailing day came with its tearlul iioodbye. "Remember, when ihe war is over I shall iiavc something to .«ay to you," Leon said to Gina Berg. The weeks that came dragged slowly !• ' in aching suspense for the Kantors and the thousands of other families like them, with son* overseas. Xo news for weeks. Xow and then a card from Leon, s;iying that all wa<; well and chafing at the del..yed prospects of action. And then, suddenly, things began to happen. The German armies rushed the .Mlies. There was Chateau Thierry, St. Mihiel and the .Argonne. .A master stroke from Foch, and then the .Armistice. That night of the .Armistice there wa« no sleep for the Kantors— they wtpt and laughed and waited. Surelv Leon must be safe. Kverj adrcrtlnMiiciK In rHf>T'>rLAY XfAOAZINE 1» euirftntceO.
