Ignaz Pleyel, musician held in high
rcpute in his day and Viennese by
birth, was appointed kapellmeister at
Strassburg in 1888. During the trou
bled times of the French revolution he
lost his post, and his life was in grave
danger.
He escaped death and satisfied his ac
cuserS that he was not an aristocrat by
writing music to some most revolution
airy stanzas which were placed before
him for the purpose. while beside stood
two gendarmes with fixed bayonets.
Another instance, proving that "mu-
sic hath charms to soothe the savage
breast" is that of Alessandro Stradel-
Ia, an Italian composer of the seven
teenth century, who carried off lady
named Ortensia from the home of no.
bleman of high rank. Two assassins
who were hired to kill him followed
them to Rome. Entering a church
where an oratorio of his was being per-
formed. they were so moved by the mu
sic that they warned Stradella of his
danger and allowed him to escape.

THE NEW TEN COMMANDMENTS.
Devised for Sunday School Children
by Italian Socialists.


by Italian Socialists.
The city of Reggie Emilia, whose
administration has passed into the
control of Socialists, has adopted the
following ten commandments for
school children to memorize:
Love thy schoolmates. for they
will be thy co-workers for life.
Love knowledge. the bread of in
tellect. Cherish the same gratitude
toward thy teachers as toward thy
father and mother.
Make every day thou livest the
occasion for some good and beneficial
deed; always SOW the seeds of kind
ness.
esteem all men as equals, bend thy
knee to no one.
DO not bear hatred to anybody;
don't insult people. The word re-
venge shall not be in thy vocabulary.
but stand up for thy rights and resist
oppression.
Don't be a coward; stand by the
weak and respect and love justice.
Remember that all goods of this
world are the products of labor.
Whoever takes the good things of this
world without giving their equivalent
in labor robs the diligent of their
just dues.
Exercise thy mind; observe and
think and try to ascertain the truth of
all things. Believe in nothing mys-
terious. in nothing unreasonable; use
no deception either toward thyself or
others.
do not assume that to be patriotic
one must hate other nations or glory
in war. War is relic of barbarism.
let it be thy purpose in life to
hasten the day when all men, as free
citizens of free state, live in peace
and happiness, in true brotherhood"

nat evening Mutterelll was HISS

that he would be gone all night, and
intimated that he might have some
thing to tell me in the morning. | did
not like the new aspect of affairs
since | had learned that Malignis
brother was the prefetto. But | was
not daunted. l had come so far. and
nothing would deter me from pushing
my plans to successful termination
or utter defeat
With this determination | went to
bed.
In the morning had my breakfast,
and, strolling out on the broad piazza,
met Mutterelli coming up the steps.
"Ah, signor, good morning." he said,
smiling.
GOOD morning. Mutterelli," re-
turned. Did you enjoy a pleasant
EVENING""
He looked at me in a significant
way, and led me to far corner of the
piazza, where, in the seclusion af-
forded by huge pillars and matted
vines, we could talk without moles-
tation.
Il spent very pleasant evening.

full of meaning. 81 have learned
something"
And what have you learned?' l
asked, eager for news of any kind.
"Pacho Maligni is now in his broth
er's house-the guest of the prefetto.
Nita Barlotti is there also, and is, to
a great extent, kept a prisoner"
"Of course, l could have told you
that" l answered. HE would not
give her chance to escape"
And preparations are being made
at the villa for great event, signor,"
said Mutterelli.
''Ah! What is it?"
Tomorrow the wedding of Nita
Barlotti and Pacho Maligni is to take
place"
Tomorrow"
Tomorrow. The closeness of the
time is evident in the great pleasure
to be seen in Maligni's face, and the
great sorrow to be seen in Nita Bar
lottis. She does not love him, sig

and fears him. But this wedding

"Prefetto or no prefetto, that we'd
ding shall never take place. l must
see Nita to-day"
Tonight. l have arranged
You know the ground. Could it
be made possible for Nita to escape
and to accompany us away from the
grounds?"

You will visit the villa in disguise.

That is it, signor."
l grasped his hand.
you are true friend. Mutterelli,"
I said. 1T is gratifying to find man
so ready to assist who is willing to
face the danger. and also able to plan
the affair. | thank you"
Mutterelli laughed.
You have yourself named the
price, siGnor," he said.
''Is there anything to be done to-
Gay?" | asked. 81 ought, perhaps, to
take a look at the place and get my
bearings in daylight"
True, signor. have arranged. We
will start at nocn."
After ainner we stepped out on the
piazza. A closed carriage, drawn
by two small but sturdy Spanish
horses, stood at the curb.
Come" caid Mutterelli; 1T Is

He spoke a few words to the driver.

After an hour of smooth rolling en-

followed him into the inn, and he
led me up a flight of stairs to room
in the rear. Taking key from his
pocket, he unlocked the door. Inside
was a collection of garments-part of
hunting garbs-uniforms, grotesque
jackets, trousers. leggings. Two guns
stood against the wall.
What the deuce is all this, Mutter-
elli?" asked in surprise.
"It is part of our plan, signor. You
wish to view the country near Ma
ligni's country villa. If you went
there as you are now, you would at
tract attention. On the road past
Maligni's many moufion hunters pass.
We are now mouflon hunters. Do you
understand. signor?"

Mutterelli smiled. and began at once
picturesque Sardinian garments that
he had provided. followed suit.
When | had finished was clad from
my feet to my thighs in leather leg
gings. A red and black velvet jacket
fitted over my shoulders and waist.
A more or less faded and dirty sash
went around my waist over the Jacket.
A three-cornered hat. with small
plume in it, replaced my own com
Portable tourist cap. Mutterelli was
attired in a similar fashion.
Mutterelli took up the two guns and
handed one to me.
But where is the ammunition" l
asked.
1--WE don't need any ammunition"
replied Mutterelli. These guns are
only for show, to make us look like
other people who will pass. Come.
our horses are waiting"
At the door we found two horses,
saddled, and Mutterelli mounted one.
leaving the better looking one of the
two for me.
Leaving the inn, we rode out into
the smooth road and started toward
the north. In a short time we came
to fine villa surrounded by a high
wall of rock, the gate of which was
a splendid work of massive masonry.
There were signs of activity about
the place. Workmen hurried here and
there. Two priests, clad in somber
garments that completely enveloped
them, walked slowly from the house
toward the gate, their shaved heads
under their broad hats bobbing and
nodding as they conversed.
Mutterelli gave me n few minutes
in which to drink in the beauties of
Sardinian nature.
THAT is Malignis villa. signor," he
said. pointing to the fine estate l had
noticed.
"Ah!" replied. "Then that is
where the Snowman has Nita Bar.

THAT is the place, signor. Let us
move on a little. lest those priests
see us and remember our faces. l
am not a Sardnian, signor. There
are priests in Sardinia who are good
and holy men; there are Others
He said this with a shrug of his
shoulders that was very expressive.
This is fine estate in the val
ley" l said, pointing to villa and
spacious grounds not very far from
us. But it looks neglected. 1t is
sin to let a place like that go to
rum"
Mutterelli frowned. and muttered
something that sounded like curse.
THAT place is the Villa di Thor
lano," he said. "It is fit example
of the peculiar condition of Sardinian
politics.
