Was it because her soul instinctively

1t Is said that once when Musin
was touring the United States AT the
head of a concert company they all
got caught in a railroad wreck which
did not amount 10 much. When the
jolt came, Musin himself was eating
piece of pie with the aid of his
pocketknife. Naturally the Jolt
made the knife slip, and Musin was
cut-one of his precious fingers was
disabled. Nobody else was hurt. ex-
cept the business manager. who was
rather shaken up, but nevertheless
when they reached the city Musin
ordered everybody TO bed. Cancelled
their engagement and did his own
injured member up in an immense
amount of bandages. The only per
son left about was the poor business
manager, who had to do the work.
Musin himself secured $500 on the
strength Of that cut thumb. and ev-
cry member of his company got
$500. Pretty good payment for a
three days rest in bed. And IN the
end they filed their engagements,
too, and SO got that money ~ well.

TENURE BY WHIP.
Strange Ceremony by Which a Landed
Estate Was Held.


The picturesque church of the
parish Of Castor, in Lincolnshire.
says the London Golden Penny, is
remarkable for a peculiar ceremony
which used to take place there every
Palm Sunday as a tenure by which
a neighboring estate was held. The
tenant presented himself in the
porch, furnished with a huge whip.
having heavy thong of white leath-
er, called a "gad" from its length
probably the ancient CAD in Lin
cOlnshlre, being a measure Of ten
feet.
When the officiating minister
commenced reading the first lesson,
the man deliberately cracked his
huge whip three times till he made
the sacred edifce ring with the
sound, and then, wrapping the thong
round a handle and fixing a purse
containing a small sum of money
(24 silver pennies, according TO the
tenure) 10 the upper end of it. he
proceeded into the church and plac-
ed himself in front of the reading
desk until the commencement Of the
second lesson, when he knelt upon
cushion and waved the purse 10 and
fro over the clergyman's head until
the lesson was concluded. after
which he retired 10 the chancel for
the remainder of the service. The
whip and its appendices were then
deposited in a neighboring farm
house.
The clergyman TO whom the ac-
count of this curious ceremony was
recently related remarked that '1he
man would be a bold one who at
tempted to carry such a custom ont
if he were conducting the service"
This ceremony. however, was dis
continued after the year 1916.
