the baby in the woman's arms, asking
her to look after it a few days. Mrs.

pened to see the child and seemed
to like it whereupon they decided
to bring it to the Hassell home here
The aged couple were taken in tow
at the depot and they then told the
above story. In the meantime the

ing the same date as the one referred to
in The Enterprise of last Thursday and
the same "artist's" name appears on it
Antonius Stradinarius Cemenensis, at
one time Italy's greatest master of the
violin-and the same date, 1863. There
are several others in this section with the
same inscription. We purchased ours
from an old gentleman who deals in GU
rios. old money, Indian utensils, musi-
cal instruments and his name, too, was
Barney. 1t seems that it was easy to
have tickets printed with the above in
scription and asted to old violins. The
type used is rather too modern for 1853,
too. We thought fortune was awaiting
us and had it sent to New York under
registered express and instead it was
found that the old violin was worth
$l.98, and that the great Italian master
workman had nothing to do with it's con-

more years before our violin was made.
