Director.

To sit, as did q Planet reporter few days
ago, in O very atmosphere of sweet har-
mony, created by DR.. VeIrindsrs magi-
cian-liks touch, was an experience that
might well be envied, and one calculated
to inspire the most sentimental raveries.
But sentimental moods finally vanish and
leave one facing the sober and practical
side of life. The music ceased and the
conversation took turn leading to the
real object OF the reporters call.
There are stories abroad" said the
newspaper man, regarding some extra
ordinary deliverance from death, which
you have met with recently, doctor.
Would you object to stating what founda-
tion there is for them. and. if any. furnish me
with the true facts foo publestionp DIR. Yer

newspaper notoriety, and ut fifty-hye years of
age it is not likely shall begin, and yet" said
the professor, after thinking moment and con-
sulting Mrs. Nerrinder. perhaps II is best that
l should give you the circumstances for use in
the f.anet. The story of my rescue from the
grave might fttingly be prefseed by alitte OF
my early history. We resided in England.
where, though was a professor OF music,
WAS not dependent on my art. as had acquired
a competence. My wife was on heiFess having
$4,000 In her own right. Through the rascal

her fortune. while by the Bank of Glasgow fail

necessary for me then TO return TO my profess

were a guinea a lesson, and il was no unoon-
mon thing for me to give twenty in q day. We
came 10 America, landing in Quebec, where |

residence in London, first filling an engage

accepting the position of oTganist in st. Peters
Cathedral. Ia those cities | made many warm
friends. and their tributes and gifts l shall ever
retain as among the most precious Of my posses

ing my art with much earn stness and labor that
received a stroke Of paralysis. Perhaps'-

three strokes-yes sir. first, second and third

seemed to have counteracting influence on
the disease which was dragging me down 10
death. My vile would sit at my bedside and
moisten my lips with diluted spirits, which
was all that could be done to relieve me. Be-
side three local doctors who gave me up, had
doctors from London snd Kingston whose skill
