and no So Pinkney, who holds
a well sAlaried and responsible position,
gave him board, lodging and pocket money.
McCord, who is anything but a hand.
some lad, just out of his teens, shovel his
gratitude by making love to Mrs. Pinkney
or perhaps she made love to him. At
any rate the woman of t~wenty-six and the
raw lad of twenty grew violently attached
to each other. The household expenses"
swelled in volume-that is, the wife got
extra funds from her husband which she
lavished on the boy, and together they
plotted how to get rid of Tom"
They thought that If he was melted to
within half a decade, but that date seemed
80 far distant that they decided to elope.
They took about everything save the stove
and the larger articles of furniture, and
fed to the United States. The wronged
husband caused their arrest at Detroit.
MeCord cried and put all the blame oil
his companion. She walled, and just then
CHANGED to remember that she had aban'
doned her children, whom she expressed q
violent desire to see.
Pinkney developed an unusual amour,
of soft heartedness and refused to prosecute
his faithless wife, and what the upshot Of
the affair will be is doubtful. As the cast
stands, McCord has ruined his chances Of
becoming the husband of a Toronto heiress
to whom he was all out engaged; Mrs
Pinkney has blasted her hitherto goot
reputation and Mr.. Pinkney has a desolat,
future to anticipate, no matter whether OIL
not he is weak enough to "make 1t up
with his faithless wife.

"a male Bernhardt-all nerves and art"
That is the way Ignsce j.. P~aderewski, the
Polish pianist, was described by an Eng
lish critic.
The advent of this red haired, blue eyed
Pole into the musical world Of England
n America has caused a veritable sensa.
ton this year. Critics and public alike
have raved over his achievements, some
even going so far as to pronounce him a
successor to Rubenstein. This estimate OF
his ability has been questioned by many,
but the undoubted fact remains that he is
IA pianist of remarkable skill and power.
He was born in Podoria, Poland, thirty.
one years ago. As soon as he Was able TO
reach the keyboard Of a piano he began to
play, and gained some local reputation as
an infant prodigy. As he grew older he
turned his attention principally TO com.
position, and achieved a really notable
name for so young u man. He studied I'M
der Leschetitzky, the husband OF the IA
nous Nine. Essifoff, and played at a con-
cert or two. His work was 80 enthusiast
ticslly received that he gave up compost
ton for the life of a piano virtuoso. Since
he began his concert tour of the great
cities of the world each new appearance
has been a new triumph.
His earliest real successes as a virtuoso
were won in Paris, where he played with
the LamoureuN orchestra and at the Con-
servatoire. By no means the least notable
feature of his work is the extent of his rep
ertory, which includes pretty nearly all
the great pianoforte classics as well as
numberless compositions of his own Int
many productions OF composers little
known on this side OF the water.

Edward Atkinson sentt o Senator Ho NJ
ard, the labor leader of Massachusetts,
for q trades unionist's definition of q
''scab," and the following definition was
sent:
A scab is to his trade what a traitor is
to his country, and although both may
be useful to the party in troublesome
times. when peace returns they are de
tested alike by all; so, when help is needed,
a ''scab" is the last to contribute assist
ance and the first TO grasp a benefit he
never labored to procure; he is only for
himself, out he sees not beyond the tx
tent of a day, and for momentary and
worthless appreciation would betray
friends, family and country; in short, he
is a traitor on a small scale, who first
sells the journeymen, and is himself
afterward sold in his turn by his en-
ployer, until he is at last despised by both
and deserted by all. He is an enemy to
himself, to the present age and to Pos
terity.-Standard.

man skyward and let him down again
without hurting him. He fooled nearly
every big newspaper in the country into
printing "a fake account of a trial of this
remarkable machine, and it is said the

as to whether It might not be useful in

told about his experiences as an angler

But 1t was as a joker that Florence shons

He was a partner Of the elder Sothern when
the famous Inner was given TO Philip
Lee, the English husband OF Adelaide Neil
son. Lee knew little about America, and
was somewhat surprised as he saw the
guests, when they took their seats at table,
each lay down a big revolver or a bowie
knife beside his plate. Its only a custom
of the country" Florence whispered in
Lees ear. Later in the evening, when
Sothern gave the signal secretly, a mock
quarrel was begun between two of the
diners. The fight waxed fast and furious,
and nearly everybody at the table was in
volved. The revolvers were discharged
they were loaded with blank cartridges,
of course, but Lee didn't know it), bowie
knives were brandished and the air was
filled with wild whoops and blood curdling

fusion died away Lee was gone And he

for the signal to come out. 1t never came.
