Moxart.s Musical Memory.

Mozart had wonderful memory of
musical sounds When only fourteen
years Of age he went TO Rome to as.
sist in the solcmnities of holy week.
Immediately after his arrival he went
TO the Sistine chapel TO hear the IA
nous "Nliserere" of Allegri. Being
aware that II was forbidden to take or
give copy of this renowned piece of
music. Mozart placed himself in cor
ner ami gave the strictest attention to
the music and on leaving the church
noted down the entire piece. A few
days aftcrward he heard il 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 "Niserere" at a
concert. accompanying himself on the
harpsichord. and the performance pro-
duced such sensation i'm Rome that
Pope Clement NV. requested that this
musical prodigy should be presented
TO him at once.

When the Lion
Reared
BY JOHN BRLSCOE
Copyright. 1903. by t. &. Mcclure

How Cynthia Davis. daughter Of
Farmer Davis. got her romantic no
tons was puzzle Ia her parents and
lots of other folks. Her .sther's hired
men began TO fall in love with her at
sixteen. At seventeen she broke the
heart of wire fence agent. At eight
cen she could have had her pick of half
a dozen men ranging from farmers
sons To reaper and mower agents. She
was nineteen when Jed Williams. n
young carpenter from the village. came
out to rebuild barn and reshingle the
house.
Cynthia didn't want the impossible
but she had certain fixed ideas. She
would never fall in love and marry a
man unless he had saved her life. All
of her would he lovers were anxious to
toe the mark. but opportunity had new
er presented itself. She wouldn't break
through the ice on the horse pond in
winter. and she wouldn't tumble into
the well in summer. Her father owned
a savage bull but she didn't go pick
ing daisies in the field where the bovine

highway she was sure 10 he in the

and had knocked $12 off the regular
price TO make himself solid thought the
golden hour was at hand. He drove up
one day and found tramp ''sassing"

the rescue and win her gratitude she
had taken the fellow by the ear and

and Cynthia's only excuse for turning
them down was that each and every
one of them was as commonplace as
pumpkin pie. Jed Williams had had
his warning. but he straightway fell In
love just the same and was taken on
probation. That was one good thing
about the girl. She always gave a man

A church may become a very death

had to capture Cynthia's heart within
four weeks or not AT all. A man VIII.
uses the rule and compass and squar
has a head for circles and angles. and
Jed was no sooner in love than he re-
moved the shingle nails from his mouth
and sat down TO ponder He knew
where the others had failed. They
had waited for opportunity. He would
make opportunity.
The first move Jed made along the
new line was TO take Cynthia to the
circus. He was particular To point out
the lions to her. especially one big fell
low. and TO recall To- memory the fact
that this Numidian had killed no less
than seven keepers. as stated in the
newspapers. The same lion had also
escaped from the circus on several oc-
casions and devastated a dozen barn
yards. He told his story glibly and
carelessly. and aside from a shudder or
two Cynthia was not much affected. II
the lion escaped during the next three
months. as was possible. she would be
away Off in Ohio or Indiana, and she
would be safe.
Then John Burns came out to paint
the barn a fiery red. He was friend
of Jed Williams. and he brought out
the news with him that the lion had
escaped while the circus was leaving
the village. He was one of 200 men
who had spent the day with some cir
Gus people looking for the monster. and
the search was being continued. II
was startling news for the farmers.
They might not meet the beast in their
rornfields by daylight. but when dark
ness came he might pick them up even
on the doorstep. Jed didn't boast OF
what he would do IL he met the beast
face TO face. and Cynthia mentally gave
him a credit mark. In some mysteri-
Gus way the barn painter kept track Of
the lion and gave others the news. The
Numidian was seen here and there
Here he had killed a COW: there
horse. In one case he had attacked
farmer and broken his back. and all
efforts TO recapture him were futile.
In the midst of these wild alarms
Cynthia had 10 go Ia neighbours Of
an evening. and Jed was courteous
enough 10 offer her his escort. Some
laughing remarks were made about the
