n will doubtless be asked by those who are good enough to be interested In the following personal recollections of most distinguished parsonage in the worlds his- tory precisely how the manuscript from which these anecdotes are taken camt into my possession. It was simpl ]. enough incident that made me the favored vehicle for their publication.
 had attended one of the performancea of "Parsifap' at the Metropolitan Opera House, and when MT. Conried's capable orchestra sounded the dinner hour at the close of the opening session, rather than brave the storm without, having provided myself with chicken. ham pie and bot tie of ginger ale I sat in the murky dark ness of the upper gallery and consumed my meagre repast in solitude.
 The last vestige of the pastry washed down by the ultimate drop of the ginger ale, settled back in my armchair to re fleet upon what had heard and seen ant to get my agitated mind refreshed ono more into a receptive condition for the best appreciation of what was to follow. Whether it was my impatience, now that I had been fed, for the opera to be re stunned, or for some other mysterious cause know not, but whatever the req son the hours that hitherto had simply flown now appeared to drag and ultimate ly to stand still. and during this latter moment there rose up indistinctly before me the figure of no less a person thar Father Time himself. armed as usua. with his Bcythe and hour glass;
 "I thought I'd stop just moment" sai' he. "to ask you if you didn't want to do me a favor"
 Command me- sir" replied. eff yol will only accelerate the next three-quar ters of an hour so that may again be enchanted by the dulcet notes of Wagner I'll do anything you ask"
 "It is a bargain" said he. "Ill make the coming hour look like thirty seconds if you will take this manuscript of mine and have 1t published. don't know where got 1t, but have lately suffered from violent attack of the cacoethes scribeudi, and I am told that the only cure for that is to see yourself iI print"
 That depends said I. Sometimes publication of one's stun aggravates the disorder instead of curing it,
 "Pli take my chances" returned the old gentleman, hurling a huge package 0 closely written pages into my lap and dis appearing as mysteriously as he came.
 True to his word the following hour sped so fast that had barely time pack the bundle away in my dinner bas- ket before the audience came hocking back, and the mysteries of the Farsi far motif again began to unfold them- selves from below stairs.
 In payment for this redemption of his promise I have gone carefully over Fa- ther Times manuscript and taken real pleasure in presenting therefrom the ex- tracts which follow, trusting that they will find in the readers mind the same response in appreciation that they re- ceived from my own-Editor.

A Story of Whistler.

One day Whistler entered the atelier
Of his class in Paris and found that q
red background had been arranged be-
hind the model. At once he directed
something of duller tone to be substi-
tuted, and he scraped the red paint off
the canvas of one of the pupils, putting
In Its place another background. But
the red would show through He scrap
ed, studied and worked laboriously to
get something that pleased him. The
rest OF the class surrounded the easel
and eagerly watched the master. He
looked up finally and said, II suppose
you know what I am trying to do?'
"Oh, yes, sir!" they all chorused. "Well,
It's more than do" he replied grimly
and left the place.

Mozart had a wonderful memory of
musical sounds. When only fourteen
years Of age he went to Rome to as
sist in the solemnities Of holy week.
Immediately after his arrival he went
to the Sistine chapel to hear the IA
nous "Miserere" Of Allegri. Being
aware that it was forbidden to take or
give copy of this renowned piece Of
music, Mozart placed himself in. cor
ner and gave the ssrictest attention to
the music and Oh leaving the church
noted down the entire piece. A few
days afterward he heard it a second
time and, following the music with his
own copy In his hand, satisfied himself
Of the fidelity Of his memory. The
next day he sang the 'Miserere" at
concert, accompanying himself on the
harpsichord, and the performance pro-
duced such a sensation in Rome that
Pope Clement XIV. requested that this
musical prodigy should be presented
to him at once
