At times a girl would throw piece OF

MARVELLOUS MUSICAL MEMORY.
Such Was Possessed by the Great
MendelssOhn.


When Mendelssohn played on the
piano or the organ, the listener felt the
great musician and composer in every
bar. The mans musical memory was
marvellous. Sir Charles Halle, who, in
1912. spent several weeks with Men
delssohn at Frankfort, describes, in
his Autobiography" three instances
of the composers memory. He writes:
The greatest treat was to sit with
him at the piano and listen to innume:-
able fragments from half-forgotten,
beautiful works of Cherubini. Gluck,
Bach, Palestrina and Marcello. 1t was
only necessary to mention one of them
to hear it played to perfection, until
came to the conclusion that he knew
every bar of music ever written, and.
what was more, could produce it imme-
diately.

A CASE IN EQUITY.

Having set out in haste, he had am
pie time to repent in leisure. The road,
little used at any time. and practically
abandoned since the opening of the
railway, soon led away from the valley
and ran in tortuous windings and in
genious doublings over spur of Johns
mountain. At the top of the spur it
speedily lost it's identity in Il succession
of wood roads, and. after following sew
eral of the latter to their vanishing
points, Philip gave up the struggle and
determined to let the horse find the
way if he could. In common with I'M
equestrian mankind i'll general, Philip
shared the belief in the inerrant path
finding instincts of horse; but after an
other hour of hesitant wandering, dur
ing which time he had been thrice gar
roted by low-swingirg branches, and
impartially bruised about the legs by
the efforts of the horse to squeeze be-
tween close-growing trees. his conf
dence in the sagacity of the animal be-
gan to waver. From doubt to GER
tainty is but a step, and Philips faith in
horses went the way of all decisions
when the clumsy beast stumbled on the
edge of a ravine. slid helplessly to the
bottom, and ended by throwing his
rider into heap of stones.
Philip was half stunned by the fall.
and when he came to himself he found
that he had gained sprained ankle and
lost a horse. Remembering ruefully
the maxim about great haste and small
speed, he got up with some difficulty
and continued his wanderings afoot un-
til the pain in his ankle became unbear-
able. After that there was nothing for
it but to sit down and wait for daylight,
and he was about to resign himself to
this comfortless alternative, when he
heard a cock crow. Chickens argued
inhabitants. and Philip dragged him
self painfully in the direction of the
sound until he came to the log cabin
of a mountaipeer. 1t was but a miser-
able howell of n single room and a loft.
and it's indwellers were doubtless
Bedouins in other respects than in their
hospitality; but of the latter Philip
soon had grateful assurances. He was
taken in and cared for; the man making
up a fire in the crumbling stone fire.

place while the woman bathed his swol-
len ankle and called a half-grown boy
from the loft to SO out after red clay for
a poultice. And afterward they would
have made him take the only bed in the
cabin if he had not insisted upon sleep
ing on the floor before the fire.
When Philip awoke the next morning
he found himself as completely pris-
oner as even Sharpless could have de-
sired. Walking was out of the ques-
ton, and his host had neither a horse
nor the disposition to go to Glenco to
procure one. though his offers of hos
pitality were as generous as he knew
how to make them. Philip guessed a,
the mans reason for not wishing to ap-
pear in Clcnco when the mountaineer
offered him a potation from q jug
drawn from its hiding-place beneath the
