and consideration. He observed thai
the man, although thinly and poorly
clad, was scrupulously clean. his hair
and heavy mustache well tended, his
hands white and delicately formed.

stranger, pushing away his plate and
nodding toward the piano and violin.

The second violinist handled his bow
mechanically and even listlessly. Once
or twice he so far forgot himself as to
draw the attention of the conductor,
who raped with his baton and glared
at the offending player.
The violinist was tired, and when he
was tired, which was often the case,
the music that danced round his brain
was quite different from what he hap
pened to be playing at the moment.
When the musical medley was over,
the conductor came up to him.
'I'm sorry, jack" he said, but If
you don't pull yourself together we
shall have to put some one else in your
place.
II was tired tonight" he replied.

was met by q girl, who chung close to

A few minutes later he left her at
the door of small house in side
street, and then, crossing to the main
thorougnfare, he struck into similar
street on the other side. AS he opened
the dingy door of his lodgings tall
man in a fur-lined overcoat passed.
A simple supper was laid out upon
his table, which he hardly touched.
The room was poorly furnished, though
comfortable and clean enough. Across
one corner stood piano. His violin
ana piano were Jacks chief treasures ;
they represented possibilities which
kept hope alive in him. With their
aid he could conjure up visions far
more beautiful than anything which
reality could show him; they enabled
him to express himself-the inner SELF
which shrank from contact with the
world. He drew ruled paper toward
him and began to cover 1t with those
symbols which sometimes mean so
much more than words.
But after time the creative inn
pulse left him, and he turned to an
almost completed portion of his work.
Parts he tried over on the piano, for
other parts he took up his violin, after
each trial altering note here and
there. The time slipped on. Hardly
a sound reached him from the dwlnd-
ling traffic that passed the end OF the
street.-the street itself was perfectly
still. With that silence there came a
sudden impulse to him to play. Il
wonder whether could manage that
sonata to-night?" he said, aloud.
He sat out the music, tucked his
violin under his chin, and began 10
play. The instrument throbbed under
his fingers with the acute sympathy
and consciousness which only yio-
linist car understand. He knew that
he was playing finely, he knew that
the music was good, and he. was the
maker OF both. The thought nlled
. him with exultation. Yet even ut that

What is known to plant science as
Wieneria Is the result of hybridizing
dog fennel and common pig weed. This
peculiar plant has the unique charac-
teristic in the vegetable world of pro-
ducing two distinct food products, upon
single stem-the toothsome sausage,
and dog biscuits-one of heterogeneous
or uscle-forming nature, and the
other fat-producing.

The startling results Of the science
of animal and plant life are graphi-
cally portrayed by Artist McCOrdt, of
Newark, New Jersey. This expert be-
lieves, from results already accom-
plished by cross fertilization, that in
the very near future it will not be
necessary for the clearinghouse keeper
to separately prepare corned beef and
cabbage, as the plant psychologist will
have combined the two into single
garden product.

most astounding results have been ac-
c0mplished with bacteria. Bacteria
enter into every form of life, and not
