Richard Wagner vas not a man to

faculty of ready joking. 1t is not from
the creator Of the serious, somber,
Flying Dutchman" or the composer Of
the half mystical, half religious opera
"Parslfal," that one would expect
cheerful pranks at the expense Of 9th
Ell people. Nevertheless, an instance
is on record Of how the great tone
painter Of Bayreuth played a very
funny trick on a newspaper and prob
ably a good many Of the readers &C
customed to relying on what 1t said.
1t was in the sos. Wagner, then still
climbing the ladder of fame, was
conducting the Philharmonic concerts
In the British metropolis for a season.
Being, as he remained to the end, q
very ardent admirer Of Beethoven,
and, in fact, knowing that masters
nine symphonies by heart, he select
ed several Of them for performance in
the said series Of concerts. The first
time, then, that Wagner conducted a
Beethoven symphony in London. the
public received the rendition kindly
enough, but the next morning a GER
tain newspaper with a very large cir
culation came out with a rather severe
criticism. The author of "Lohengrin''
was In cold print, but in unreserved
terms, scolded for directing a SYM
phony by the immortal Beethoven
without a score in front Of him.
Such a proceeding, to which London
was unaccustomed, was sheer pre-
sumption, so ran the criticism. And
after further uncomplimentary re-
marks, the great and influential jour-
nal advised young Herr Wagner to use
a score when he conducted a Beethov-
en- symphony again. Well, soon Herr
Wagner did, this time with a book
Of music open before him ON his desk.

In the aforesaid newspaper, which

use of the score. Whereupon Wag-

do?
All day l worked with a fierce persist
ence which alarmed me. l looked at my
self In my mining suit, then recalled
Madeline as | had seen her that morn
lng-with her soft hands sparkling with
gems, and the black servant crouching at
her feet-and realized more than ever the
distance that divided us from one an
other. l returned home in the evening
and found the cottage much the same as
it had always been. Madeline was gone.
"She be up at Redruth House, Hugh"
said my aunt. "The avid missus came
and took her away, and right glad she
was to go, poor lass!"
She showed me FIVE pound note which
Madeline had given her, borrowing 1t
from her aunt to do so. She put the
note into an old work box where most
of her treasures were kept, and set about
getting the tea, imagining that the ro-
nance of last nights wreck had ended.

and among strangers here. You seem
like an old friend. If you will suffer me
to talk to you sometimes 1t will make
my stay here more pleasant"
Her pleading won the day, and we be-
came friends. 1 never went to Redruth
House, and she never came to the cot
tage. l never sought her, but quite in
n%ocently and frankly she sought me. We
often went on the moor when, after my
long days work, | was making my way
home, and l could not regard these meet
ings as purely accidental on her part.
She was always accompanied by the
black girl, until one evening, when she
appeared alone.
you are looking for Anitav' said
Madeline, noting my glance. "She has
gone to London with my aunt's maid,
and will not return till close On midnight.
My cousin counselled my staying at home
tonight, or allowing him to accompany
me. l knew l should not want for COM
pany, 80 refused to submit. l may not
enjoy these walks much longer"
What! are you going away?" l ask
ed, in some alarm.
She shrugged her shoulders. "Per-
haps! l do not know; certainly l shall
have to go sooner or later, but 1 trust
1t may not be sooner. When l was ship
wrecked here l was on my way to Lon
don, to take up my abode with some 9TH
er relations. They are troubling me
with questions, 50 I have sen Anita to
satisfy them as to my safety. Yet 1
suppose l shall some day have to CO."
She tried to speak carelessly, yet 1
fancied l detected a ring of regret in
her voice, and l Quailed before the feel
ing of desolation which her words
brought to my heart.
In that one sentence she had unwit-
tingly shown to me myself-revealed to
me the terrible secret which 1 had been
vainly trying to crush from my heart.
Even as she had influenced my boyhood,
she had influenced my manhood.
l loved her with the same unthinking
love which had filled my soul as a boy
loved her even while l felt that such
a love might be the means Of blighting
my life. l knew that no good could come
Of 1t, for was she not as far removed
from me as the moon was removed from
the sea? and yet I felt at that moment
that to love her so, be 1t only for one
hour, was worth whole centuries of pain.

Fitzsimmons' Return to the
Ring Interests PugiIists.
Battle With Jack O'BrIen will
Be Hard Fought.
PULLED OFF IN JULY.
Six Round Contest for PhiIadeI-
phia Before Long.
Opinions Differ as to Who VIII
Be the Victor.

Philadelphia, June 22.-The next
event of Importance in the boxing
line after the postponed Jeffries-
Munroe bout will be the six-round
contest between Jack O'Brien and
Bob Fitzsimmons, which is scheduled
to take place in this city early next
month. This is the match which the
lovers and patrons of boxing nave
been looking for ever since O'Brien
came into prominence. Before O'Brien
went to England he was looked upon
by those who knew him well in this
city as a boxer of very ordinary
quality, but he has gone along the line
and held his own with the best mid
dleweight boxers in the profession, IN
Guiding Tommy Ryan and Kid NC
Coy. O'Brien is today one OF the
richest boxers in the business, Tor al
though a liberal giver, Jack has taken
good care of his earnings, and is on
easy street financially. He has had a
good share of luck in his ring career,
and he has been accused OF Jobolng
several times with Walcott Ryan,
and Mccoy but if he has ever been
concerned or mixed up in any crooked
work he has never been caught with
the goods on" 1t is true that both
the Ryan and Mccoy matches, which
were fought in this city, looked very
queer to say the least but so far no
one has attempted to prove that
either of these contests was not on the
level.
In boxing Fitzsimmons, O'Brien is
facing the most difficult proposition of
his ring career, and if he can stay six
rounds with the grand old man of
the prizering." he will be entitled to
credit as being the greatest pugilist
ever turned out in Philadelphia.
Fitzsimmons is a bigger man than
O'Brien, he is taller, has a longer
reach. and believes that he can hit
harder than any man in the world.
His hands are reported to be not
quite as good as they were earlier in
his career, but he can still hit hard
enough with either one of them to
knock out most any man. The only
advantage which O'Brien may pos
sess over Fitzsimmons would be that
possibly he is a faster hitter than
Bob, and he may be quicker on his
feet. But if he has any of these ad-
vantages, Fitzsimmons has more than
enough points in his favor to overbaI-
ance them. O'Brien has figured out
the problem carefully, and he said
/ last week that he believed he could
defeat the lanky Australian. It won t
be very long till it will be known
whether or not his calculations are
| correct.
