princess was not altogether angry. and
assisted us somewhat in taking the boy
to Odessa, when he was 5ha. He was
taken to Mlynarski, who was at the
head of the conservatoire there. Mischa
was so excited that the first thing he
did was to fall fiat over the plano
stool. He also informed Mlynarski that
he was months old, and that he had
played the violin for FIVE and half
years He did not know at all what
he was doing or saying"
Soon afterward. Prof Auer became
interested in the boy and as no Jews
wre permitted To come to live in st.
Petersburg except such as We're born
there the professor had to get special
permission from the car in order thai
his protege might come 10 the Russian
metropolis for the finishing of his mus
ical education point that was
reached at the mature age of fourteen
After that, the boy set forth into tho
world and the rest is history.
QUEER SUPERSTITION.

Mischa is bound TO have some narrow
escape on his way TO America, for
every big new chapter in his career has
been thus opened. On his way to st.
compartment was desperately crowded,
and Elman .pere SEE forth nj the first

ranged for an empty compartment and
hurried back to get the hoy. But the

he could not be awakened, and IL seemed

The next step was when Mischa loft

Berlin. The night before the concert
the gas In his hotel bedroom was only
partially turned Off, and the boy was
so nearly suifocated that the doctors
had TO work on him till II 80 the next
morning to bring him round. He was
due to play before the critics at noon,
ana Insisted on going, although he was
scarcely able to stand. He arrived on

pieces aud then tainted, but woke next
day to find himself famous.
The next event was his London debut,
