Cantor Roblnoicita has trained his lon.Jakie, to sing the Hebrew song* of the Synagogue. On the Eve of the Day of A'onement he finds Jakie tinging ragtime in a “beer garden." He whips the child and Jakit ran* away Ten years elapse. Jakie, now Jack Robin, a jaxs singer, down on his luck, meets Mary Dale, a dancer, who obtains a part
Looking about him Jack saw ■ many people of his own race; well dressed music lovers who could ' afford to spend the afternoon at a cone nt.

"The next and last number to be sung by Cantor Rosenblatt,” e gentleman in afternoon clothes was now announcing from (be platform, ‘‘will be the famous ‘Eli, Eli’.’’ The

that he should be sitting here now. He had never told his associates in the theatre of his home or his parents. He had never talked of the years of training given him by his father that lie might be a Cantor. He had felt (that he was a part of the theatre —that the old years had been comI pletely lost to him.

Jack nodded, but Buster’s words were email comfort. For the first time In years he began to feel actually homesick. Down in his heart there came a longing for old, familiar ground; for the comfort his mother bad always afforded him whenever he had been hurt. He wanted to bury his bead In that expansive bosom and sob out his troubles. Instead he forced himself to walk stolidly along the Avenue, keeping pace with Buster. As they came to a tall, modern building Jack's eyes caught sight of a lobby display announcing a apeclai matinee concert given by Cantor Rosenblatt. The placard brought him to a stop, for the moment. He glanced hurriedly at hie wrist watch. It was just four thirty. The concert would be over In another quarter of an hour or so. That would give him lima to cntch the last numbers of the musicale. He turned to Busier as ae eaw the Utter watching him questioning. “I—l forgot something at tho thentre, Bneter," he said, hesttatingly. "Suppose you run along. I'll meet you at the hotel I’d be
right over."
“Sure, kid, that’s all right. See you later." Buster waved end sauntered on along the street. He had hie own ideas as to why Jack waa returning to the theatre, but he asked no questions. Buster's Ideas were, however, far from right. For Jack turned as thougu to retrace his steps, but the moment be saw that Buster was lost In the crowds he stepped hurriedly Into the lobby of the concert hall, dashed to the box office and purehaaed a ticket for the perform•nee. The Cantor had Juat flnIsbed a song and had disappeared Into the wings. In tbe semi-gloom Jack found his seat and waited for tbs reappearance of the pertorQtf,
"Ell—Eli.” the Cantor’s voice rolled out over the auditorium The great Walling Wall of Jerusalem with Its cold timeworn stones wanned with tho pressure of human forms Women with allenveloping showle of soft, warm (Colors leaning their foreheads against the bulwark. Bemded rabbis with the Talmud before them reciting prayers. ’’EU—Ell,” the cry from the heart Jack eat staring, hts eyes fixed hypnotically on the singer. To all outward appearances Jack was a well dressed, good-looking young man, spending an afternoon in a Chicago concert hall listening to a group of Hebrew songs sung by a great Cantor. But to himself Jack was once more a child, waiting in the Orchanl Street Synagogue for his father's voice. The form on the platform had assumed the shape of another person; faded in shivering vibrations into the figure of Cantor Rablnowit*. The expensively dressod people about him became one with the familial figures of bis own temple. Now he stood on the platform with the other bbys of tbe School to sing tho songs his father had taught him. He saw the Cantor’s tali figure draped in the Prayer Shawl giving the signal for the beginning of the chant. He heard his own young voice surging forth. He raised his eyes to the balcony and caught a glimpse of his mother’s shawled figure swaying among the women. He heard the Rabbi preaching the word of God. And then the lights were bright and Jack was wiping the tears from his eyes. The audience was stumbling towards the doors, struggling with bats and coats. Seats were being pushed up, and the noisy call of the streets vied with the bustle of the auditorium. Slcwly Jack rose and followed the crowds out Into the darkening evening. Mrs. Rabinowltz moved hurriedly about tbe apartment dusting, brushing the floors and carpets, and tantalizing something In a big pot with a big spoon that sent pungent odors throughout the house. "Home In s few days— home In a few days,” she kept repeating to herself again and again. A knock at the door sent her scurrying. "Achi Hello, Clarence," she said disappointedly. A young man clad In linen knickers and vivid golf socks, topped by a blue and white blazer stepped Into tho room. "Hello, Mrs. Rabinowltz," Clarence entered carrying a bundle under one arm. “I took the after- i noon off. It’e the Cantor’* birthday j so I called a meeting of the choir—" ’’S-sh! The Cantor's asleep,” Mrs. Rabinowltz cautioned. "So tired h« is today from teaching.” "Well we all contributed toward a little present, Mrs. Rabinowltz.’’ Clarence held out his parcel. "So will you please present this to tho Cantor with our beet wishes for his continued happiness, peace, prosperity, longevity and the consistent and increasing use of bl* vocal chords!" The young nun took a deep breath and deposited hi* bundle In the waiting arms of hie hostess. (To *>• continued)
