which the president was injured, 1t
can be stated positively that she is

it has not been necessary to dwell

Verdi. Although Sick, Got Good Price

'Nabucodonosor" was played with
the most brilliant success at the Scala
on March 8. 1912. Verdi was not at
the performance. He simply went to
the theater at the close OF the piece,
noted the success of his work, returned
to his garret and went to bed. He was
still sleeping when, at dawn, there was
knock at his door. Merelli entered.
Knowing that several of his confreres
would be sure to make propositions
to Verdi, he determined to be the early
vinced him that he had a first-class
chance to make a good bargain, and
he remembered that Donizetti sold his
"Elizire d'Amore" for 500 francs.
How much do you want for your
opera?" he asked. Thirty thousand
francs" said Verdi. Merelli started.
What did you say?" he gasped. II
said 10000 francs" replied Verdi. with
the greatest coolness, because you got
up at o'clock in the morning to come
to see me. This evening the price will
be $4,000. After some discussion Mer-
elli handed over his check. after which
he went home and took to his bed.
where he remained for two months
suffering from jaundice. On account
OF that jaundice he became the laugh
ing stock of all Milan, and old artists
still speak Of it. The rest of Verdi's
history is known. No one merited the
glorious triumphs more than he did.

character reached the heights of tai
