The Pianist's Vacation.

An interesting story has got into
circulation concerning q famous pi-
anist. Unable to tear himself al
together away from his art while
enjoying rest in Switzerland, he
had a piano taken to a secluded
chalet in a wood and every day
went there alone to solace himself.
By chance one day some one strayed
into the wood and, hearing the
music, spent pleasant hour drink
ing in the sounds from the closely
suffered chalet. Next day he went
again with some friends. At the
end OF week the yirtuoso discov-
cred that big crowd was ENJOYING
his performance. At first he felt
inclined to blame this intrusion on
his solitude, but better thoughts
prevailed, and during the remainder
of his stay he threw open the shut
tiers and played his very best.-Lon-
