against a stone wall"
Don't you see, the deeper the mys-
terry is the more powerful the attraction
becomes?"
The door to the lift opened and closed
noisily. and Hillard turned negligently.
A man sauntered through the room.
The moment he came into the light
Hillard's interest became lively enough.
1t was the handsome Italian with the
scar.
WHO is that MANI" he whispered.

him on coming out of the club
A swift glance, then her eyes grew
unfrlendly, her shoulders rigid and re-
pellent.
DO not attract his attention." she
answered in a low tone. Yes, ! know
him. and l do not wish him to see
me-
who is he?" he repeated.
"A Venetian officer, and a pronigate.
| entertained him once, but [ learned
from him that 7 had been iIl-advised.'
Hiilard saw that this subject would
admit of no further questions. The
man with the scar had committed some
inexcusable offense, and Mrs. Sanford
had crossed him off the list. He knew
that the Italian officer is. more or less,
a lady's man; n the supreme conf
dence he has in the power Of brass
buttons and gold lace makes hnn at
times insufferable.
1t was after ten when Hillard and his
friend took their leave. They would
not see their host and hostess again
till they reached New York. Upon
coming out on the Corso, Hillard whis-
tied merrily.
Pleasant evening was M~errihew's
comment.
Hillard continued to whistle.
Good dinner, too"
The whistle went on ~serenely. in spite
of Merrihew's obvious attempts to
choke 1t off.
you seemed to ave a good deal to
say TO Mrs. Sanford. She knows the
lady who was In the house,"
Still the whistle.
Say. wake up" cried Merrihew i'm
patiently.
I'VE shall leave in the morning for
Venice" said Hillard, taking up the
tuna again.
Venice? How about Rome and
Florence"
Which would you prefer: Rome and
the antiquities. or Venice and-Kitty

he Is a gentleman. Would IL be all

Their is M reason why YOU should

LECTURE ON PIANOFORTE.

The Economica Use of the Piano
forte was the subject of an interesting
lecture given last night in the College of
Music by Louis Arthur Russell. 1t was
illustrated by a number of selections
from j. b.. D~uvernoy's studies, rendered
by pupils. The variants and special
concert studies upon the Duvernoy
themes were rendered by Mr.. Russell,
and received hearty applause.
Prior TO the lecture there was an en-
tertaining program of ensemble music,
and Schumann's "Woman's Life and
Love" were sung by Mrs. Orrie Kinsey
Taylor.

Dear Margery Doom

Dear Margery Doom:
I am a grocer's clerk and met a young
lady through waiting upon her. l only
work in that store twice a week, so do
not zee her very often. Recently she
invited me to attend a social at her
home and I had a fine time. 1 am not
in love with her, but want to repay her
for being so nice to me. Would 1t be
all right to ask her to go TO the theatre,
and how shall l go about 1t? Thanking
you, HOBOKEN,
If o think you will not see her very
soon you might write a little note, say
Ing that you would be pleased to have
her accompany you to the theatre. Ask
her to name a play she desires to see.

Cloud Effects From Above.

It has been my lot to see in arc
tic regions some hundreds of thou
sands of icebergs close at hand, and
l have always believed them to be
the most beautiful objects on earth.
But the clouds of the sky close at
hand are almost as beautiful. If
you mount above one of these ma
jestic things, swiftly overlapping one
by one its folds and wreaths, and if
remembering how high it is you
look down and see only small green
patches of earth through holes in
the cloud carpet below, you have a
little thrill of conception of how
lonely a man would feel, falling
away down there and not being able
to see the spot where he must
alight. 1t is a safe little thrill,
however. You know that you are
not going to fall. Such dizziness as
some persons feel in standing near
great heights on the earth is almost
unknown in ballooning. - Success

SINGING BOYS or JENA.
Outsrowth of Age of Bacchantes or
Wandering Students.

outsrowth of Age of Bacchantes or
Wandering Students.
Hundreds of years ago the streets
of Jena and other German towns
used to echo to the songs of black
robed monks, who went from door
to door singing and begging aims.
Their example was followed by
bands of poor students, known as
bacchantes. These bacchantes wan
dered from one university to an
other in search of better instruction
or better means of support. Such
wandering life was favored by the
customs of times when people
thought it virtue to give freely to
all persons seeking help, but espe-
cially to monks and students.
The mechanics had with them
younger travelling scholars, known
as skirmishers, who were to receive
instruction in return for certain
services. The younger skirmisher
had to wait upon his bacchante,
beg and even steal for him, and for
the most part he was very tyran-
nically used. But as he was waif
without other protection he had to
make the best Of matters.
After the reformation in many
places these orphan boys, or waits,
were banded into organized choirs,
who received pay from churches,
but also were assisted by private
subscription. It was their duty to
sing not only in the churches, but
before the houses of their patrons
as well. Thus they ceased to be
beggars. Martin Luther himself as
a boy had been one of these singers,
and it was largely due to his infu-
ence that the old custom of begging
entirely passed away. There is a
famous picture of Luther as a sing
ing boy in Eisenach, where his song
attracted the attention Of the good
Frau Gotta, who adopted and edu-
Gated him.
Nowadays the old custom Of the
choir boys singing from house to
house is fading away. There are
only five other towns beside Jena in
the whole German empire where
this music can be heard. Once each
year the singing boys go to Else
mach and sing before the emperor
in the great hall of the historic cas-
tie of the Wartburg, where the
minnesingers held their music bat
ties.
There are just twenty of the Je-
ma singing boys, five each of the
ages eleven, twelve, thirteen and
fourteen years. They are orphans,
and the only qualifications for the
privilege of four years board and
schooling are good character, abili-
ty to sing and obedience to the laws
of the organization, one of which
requires them to sing before the
houses of their patrons.-St. Mich
olas.

From the Press:
While at Washburn the first of
the week, We editor had occasion to
visit with number of the county
officials at the court house in that
city. While roaming through the
corridors he inciden tally came ac-
cross Sheriff Happlc, an1 10 the
conversation which ensued the sheriff
solicited the pleasing information
that every boarder now under his
charge at the county jail was regist-
cred from bayfield, or Whereabouts, a
half dozen in all. We were rather
taken aback at this and refused with
alacrity Mr.. Happles kind invita-
tion to visiG the Jail, fearing although
we had been guilty of no misdemean-
or we could recollect, that if we once
got inside the Jail we might not get
out. But, speaking plainly, tits a
pleasant thought indeed to know
that the only bad ones in the entire
county are situated in the town of
Bayfield, but let US be thankful for
one thing and that is that all the
prisoners happen to be Chippewas.
It would be God send to Bayfield,

ment would come to it's assistance
and help defray the expense of caring
for these incorrigible children from
