HALEVY'S SURPRISE.
Opera Air WhistIed on the street He
fore Its Production.
TO BE CONTINUED

When Halevy, the noted composer Of
1.-THE Jewoss' and othor successful operas,
was ccOnOmizing strictly Just before the
production of The MuSketoers of the
Queen" at the Opera Comique, in Paris,
n singular incident occurred, according to
his own story. His bank account was all
but exhausted, and he walked back and
forth between dwelling and theater to
save expenses
He was counting heavily on a big sue
cess for the new opera Everybody Mt the
rohearsals was enrapturcd with the music
and propheSied great popularity for it.
One day after leaving the thenter Hnlovy
was walking along tho boulevard and no.
ticed presently that IA man "a few steps
ahead of him was whistling loudly-an
objectionable sin among well bred people
in Paris. The air the man was Whisting
struck him ~ familiar at first Then sud-
denly it dawnod upon him that it was the
principal melody of his new opera.
The composer quickened his pace and,
oyertaking the whistler, SAW that be WAS
u woriingman He accosted him, saying
quietly
My good man, do you know what you
are doinRy Do you know that there are
not two men in Paris that can whistle
that melody
Tho stranger looked at Halevy with a
puzzled expression and asked simply
"Whyy"
"Simply because no one else knows
the song rs yet,
as that So? How do you know"
at is true. 1t is part of the new opera
which is now being rehenrsed in the Opera
Comique. Now won't you be good enough
to tell me whore you heart it,
