"Gentlenen!" cried the landlord, in
some alarm.
Montgomery stood. his red face some
what vacant and srinning broadly,
while lis sallow faced victim. who had
got upon his feet, g~esticulated and slut
tered under his nose with a show Of
passion that was not quite English.
and at this moment, when it seemed
as if some retaliation was to be ex-
pected and a fracas precipitated. an
impulse took me, and l myself inter
yened.
Il think, sir" said l, addressing
Montgomery. you will admit that you
have used this worthy gentleman very

youth and spirit at my back. l would

On that he stared at me for some sec
onds, and then, Pumping the empty
glass on the table, he broke into a
sheepish laugh.
"All right" he said; very sorry. 1

indistinct apologies la resumed his
seat, sitting somewhat silent for 4 good
time afterward.
But that was my Introduction 10 the
lad, an introduction none too favorable,
Of which he began at once TO make use.
for he crept close to me. moving from
chair to chair. when a chance served
him, and. being emholdened by the
liquor he had drunk, struck up a lively
conversation with me. In the end he
was exceedingly merry, and was shak-
ing me heartily by the hand, and invit-
ed me to drive out to his farm in the
Gwent with q good deal Of unusual
warmth and vehemence. but 1 managed
at last to make my escape, and that
without giving him offense.
1t was yet early, but the taproom
had lost its humors for me, and 1 was
for bed. In my room I spent an agree
able hour. idly considering my guide
books and determining a date for my
return to town. Upon the map I made
out the site of Ivor castle, of which
there had been talk. also of Mont
gomery's farm, which he had described
to me. They both lay in the Gwent, as
that great reach Of forest in the
marches is called.

lence, but rather with a savage air Of
curiosity, at myself. He was of a rudy
color and quite young, and something

marked him out from the rest of the
company. But above all his great size
and muscular appearance We're notice

FIDDLER FOUND KEYNOTE.
Story of a Pittsburg Suspension
Bridge That Was Made
to Dance.

The old Sixth street bridge was a
suspension bridge, and in connection
Herewith a story used to be too.
Everybody knows, says the Pittsburg
Gazette, that soldiers in crossing a
suspension bridge must break step and
bands are not allowed to play marches,
because Of the cumulative force of the
vibrations, which are apt to either de.
stroy the bridge completely or crystal.
lie the iron cables. Now, sound is vi
b~ration, and this explanation, not very
scientifically put here, is the basis Of
the story, remembering that every 90
ject is supposed to have a keynota
which, when struck on a musical in
strument, eyokes responsive vibrations
in the said object.
The story goes that many years ago
an old man, carrying a fiddle in a case
once started across the bridge without
paying toll. He was called ba.k by the
toll keeper, protested his inability to
pay, but was not allowed to cross.
Threatening vengeance, the old fiddle
seated himself on the wharf under The
Allegheny end of the bridge and began
to scrape away on his fiddle for hOuss,
apparently trying all sorts of notts,
half notes and combination Of notes
and chords.
Suddenly he seemed to find what he
sought. for his face lighted up and NJ
began to scrape steadily on a certain
chord. A moan went through Nc
bridge. Faster played the old man, and
the wire cables fairly sang in response
to the wild notes of the fiddle. Furious.
ly the old fiddler sCraped away and th3
cables began to yibrate, slowly at first
the vibrations growing stronger al the
keynote sounded on the violin. The
bridge began to tremble, then to sway.
BY this time the toll keepers saw
something was up, for the pedestrians
on the bridge began to run, drivers
whipped up their horses, men and wo-
men with blanched faces declined %
set foot on either end of the structure.
A messenger ttheTe were no telephones
them was dispatched for the superil-
tendent, and he came running. The
old fiddler was pointed out and a con
stable was ordered to arrest him, but,
there being no suspicious person law
then in existence, the officer shook
his head.
The bridge was cutting up all sorts OF
capers swaying back and forth like a
swing, until at last the superintendent
in desperation ran to the fiddler and
promised never t o demand toll from
him. An agreement was entered into,
the fiddler p~ledging to keep secret 20
his dying day the keynote. so that no
revengeful musician ever again could
place the structure in jeopardy without
studying out the keynote himself.
