while playing his instrument: Then
the 'Kreutzer Sonata began, and l
looked ut Ysaye as he stood, an al
most shapeless mass Of flesh, holding
the violin between his fat fingers aud
looking vaguely into the air. He put
the violin to his shoulder. The face
had been like mass of clay waiting

came IN invisible touch seemed to
pass over 1t, the heaty mouth and
chin remained firm, pressed down on
the violin, but the eyellds and the eye

saw the sound and were drawing 1t

ecstasy, as one draws In perfume out
Of flower. Then, in that instant, a
beauty which had never been in the
world came into the world; new
thing was created, lived, died, having
revealed itself to all those who were
capable of receiving It"

PencocIrn' Feathers.

Peacocks' feathers have been handed
down to us from the ancient days Of
mythology as emblematical of treach,
cry, evil and misfortune, The origin
of this strange superstition is founded
upon the following classical story:
Osiris, king Of Egypt, upon starting
on his Indian expedition, left bis
queen, Isis, regent, with Argus, his
minister, as her chief adviser. Argus,
with his hundred eyes, or rather his
spies, soon made himself so formula
Bile and powerful that he seized the
queen regent, shut her up in a strong
castle and proclaimed himself king Of
Egypt. Mercury was sent against him
with strong army, took him captive
and cut of his head, whereupon Juno
metamorphosed him into a peacock
and set his spies in his tail. From
this legend and the various additions
made to it from time to time the be-
lief has arisen that 1t is unlucky to
have peacocks' feathers inside house.

a heavy iron ball and chain dangling
at his feet, will vouch for the good
work of Detective Howard Smiths

Nose" The prisoner who is big
negro, weighing $50 pounds, made the
remark several days ago that he
could escape from the hounds II he
was given good chance. The street
commissioner took the ball and chain
from the negro and told him he would
give him one.half an hour start and
then put the dogs on his trail. Mr.,
Negro took a short cut around a cor
ner and then for the cemetery. After
a limited time had expired the hounds
were given the scent and in a round
about way at last reached a sewer on
the cemetery hill where the negro had
mysterlously hidden himself, when he
heard the yelps OF victory. When the
dogs were pulled from the opening Of
the sewer where they were just in
reach of the prisoners hair, he
crawled out of his retreat and told
Detective Smith to take them away
and he would be more than willing to
go back to work on the streets. The
man told Detective Smith 81 sure did
