On DR.. Felkin representing that the
treatment was not finished and that If

death the latter granted him re-
preve until he was quite recovered.
Then. however. nothing avniled. and
the execution was determined upon.
Emin Pasha. who was a friend of
Dr. Felkin. had instructed him most
accurately about the state of affairs III
Uganda and the court of King Mtesa
and had revealed TO him an important
state secret-namely. where Mtesa's
powder store was hidden. DR.. Felkin
remembered this at the right moment
and us Il last resort threatened that if
Mtesa killed him he would bring down
Il flash of lightning upon his powder
store Mtesa replied incredulousy.
Tell me where it is" whereupon DR..
Felkin whispered in his ear. 1T is
concealed under your harem."
Mtesa turned pale and allowed Eel

Engagement In Paris.
Paderewskfs first really important
engagement as a, pianist was in Paris.
He was engaged to play In the draw
ing room of a lady famous for her mu-
sicales, and his fee, which seemed to
him enormous, was $50. He managed
to persuade the humane agent to pay
him in advance, and when Paderew-
ski had redeemed his dress suit from
pawn and paid for shoes, gloves, tie
and other essentials he had no money
left for cab hire. so he was forced to
walk to the scene of his engagement.
The music loving audience inspired
him. He played with feeling. passion
and mastery of his instrument as new
er before. His success was instant
and unmistakable. The poor player
had suddenly become the lion of the
hour. his dream had become reality.
and fame and fortune were assured
him.
At last after disengaging himself
from his admirers he turned to leave,
when his hostess. remembering with
regret the smallness of the foe for so
marvellous n performance, offered him
her carriage for his return home. But
Paderewski's pride came to the rescue.
In his courteous yet reserved way he
made Il formal bow. and, saying, NO.
thank you. madame; my own is wait
ing" he stepped out for his long walk
homeward. d.-Pearsons Weekly.
