Maeterlinck was an old man with one
foot in the grave. What was her sur

ing took place. to find that he was
''young and strong and beautiful"
The lady ran toward the poet with
a cry. But the poet bashfully re-
coiled. and little wonder, perhaps, for
listen to Nine. Leblanc's own words:
Il was like Il little tigress. NY heart
was terribly excited. my cheeks burn

there is no armor against fate, es-
pecially when fate takes the bizarre
but alluring form OF "little tigress

WAGNER AND THE CABBY.
A Bit Of Consdy That Won ! Good Tip

From the Composer.
"A story of Wagner known to very
few Is brought to the light BY the vos-
sische Zeitung. When the composer
was In d really merry mood, the right
mood for story telling. he used to say
that. being Id Berlin on very hot
summers day and finding himself In
the Donhotfxplatz, he summoned one
of the FIRST class droshkies that were
still fairly numerous at that time and
told the driver where to go. His des-
fination was at the very farthest point
of a district within which only the
lowest fare could be demanded.
1t struck Wagner immediately that
his driver was taking a very affecting
leave of one of his fellows, as though
he were starting on life or death
journey. "Guodby. William" he said:
1--WE shan't see each. other again for
a long time.
After the carriage had ratified ON for
a good while 1t came suddenly to q
standstill. The driver got down from
his box on the right hand side, opened
the carriage d0or and banged It to
again; then he went round to the left
side and repeated the performance.
climbed up on to his box and resumed
the journey At the end of the drive
Wagner asked him what this dumb
crambo show meant. The driver. with
sly look. nnlde answer: II just want
ed to baniboozie my old nag. He would
never have believed that the whole
drive was for Il minimup fare and
would have refused to go on But by
banging the doors got him to imagine
that one fare had got out and another
got in
Wagner laughed heartily over this
explanation. and the driver. in spite OF
his greed over which the composer
made very merry in his letters. real
