WAA AIRY STONE was walking down
the street. returning to her
home after a visit made to some
u little girl friend The day was
very cold, and Mary held her
mum close against her face as she hur-
ried along the almost deserted street.
Just as Mary turned corner she saw
n little kitten run from an old, unten-
anted house, going across the street
towards small park. The poor little
animal looked cold and miserable, and Its
thin body spoke of starvation and abuses
In moment Mary's sympathy was en-
listed. and she turned across the street.
going in pursuit of the kitten. She had
conceived the idea of carrying tine
wretched little thing to her home, where
1t should have food and warmth and
loving care,
When Mary had almost reached the
Kittens side. and had stopped over 10

kitty, come here" the frightened animal
ran off down an alley-way, for kind treat
ment had never been bestowed on it,
and It did not know that the little girl
who was trying to capture it had good
intentions. Rather did 1t think there
was more torture for it to suffer should
it fall into her hands, SO it ran off as
fast as ever it could, hiding from sight.
But Mary had seen the kitten disappear
behind an old barrel in the alley, and
thither she went in pursuit Of 1t, calling
gently, 'Kitty-cat, kitty-cat, come to me.
I'll not hurt you. kitty-cat!'

work for me, I'll see you again. and
thank you thousand times more"
Then the old man, repeating the name
"Stone" an the number "eleven," went
of round the corner of the block. and
Mary continued looking for the kitten.
She went on down the alley, and just as
she was about to give up the search
for q second time, che came full on the
kitten, crouching against fence while
some boys from across the alley threw
stones at It. 1t seemed to have lost
all its strength, and crouched there In its
misery, waiting for death. Mary. shaming
the boys till they sneaked on behind
barn, stopped down and stroked the kit
ten tenderly. Then, as the little thing
did not try to get away. she picked 1t
up In her arms and went homewards as
fast az she could run.
When she entered the living room she
was a little surprised at the sight she
beheld. There, seated in a comfortable
chair. his hat on the floor beside him,
was the poor old man she had befriended
in the alley, and talking to him as

Rubinstein composed many symphonies.
overtures, operas and sonnatas, all Of the
rarest beauty and highest grade Of merit.
Once when some friend was advising
him to write music to be ''better under
stood by the common people," his reply
was: LET us not minister to the crav-
ings Of the ignorant for foolish amuse-
ment. What satisfaction can there be
for a mujik to pay ID kopeks to see on
the stage the same drunkard In sheep
skin whom he meets each day in the pot
house? If the theater is to be a medium

find such pieces dull and embarrassing;
but believe me, 1t will not be very long
before they will have learned to appre-
ciate their beauties, and will seek the

civilization for the Masses"
And in that little paragraph just quot
ed was expressed the character Of the ar
tiste, Anton Rubinstein. During his more
than busy life he worked for the highest
that he might attain, never once allow
ing himself to drop to the level of the
masses. Not only did he carry himself
upward and onward in his art, but he
helped to lift those around him. for he
placed music on a standard so high that
to understand It one was obliged to as

But either must be INDUCED In with
caution The coasting hill must be care
