1t happened quite naturally that in the
old days he often absented himself in
imagination from the home fireside and
was away playing the part or an exiled
prince or swinging the cutlass Of n
pirate Ito music). He liked history then,
as he does now History and music arc
his favorite subjects. And this devotion
to history. sincere and honest, brought
from his father the only approval he
received.
At II he was student in the Western
University of Pennsylvania. Of morn
ings he went 10 his classes, and in the
afternoon he clerked in his fathers law Of
fee About that time he had seen enough
plays and operas 10 want TO try his hand
at making one. Opera, being full of
plot and music naturally claimed his at
tention.

one of the reasons why "Thc Legend" has
no triangle in it.
Breil rehearsed the orchestra and the
singers, and the opera is to this day treas
ured BY his mother out in Pittsburg She
was keeping it, she always told him, TO
show him when he wrote his masterpiece,
MS she always had confidence that he would
write one.
Breil laughed very much the afternoon
when he was telling about all this.
"Therc are parts of that Orlando,
he said, that I'm not ashamed of yet"
And he went TO the piano and played
quintet distinctly r1elodic, one Of the fine
parts of the opera.
In 1883 he persuaded his father that he
would gain much by going abroad 10
finish his studies. He would take up law
in the University at Leipsic. So he spent
that year and the two years following.
not, as he had said, with the law, hut
with Adolpk Brodsky. When he returned
TO Pittsburg if 1891 he had tolcrable
knowledge of musical theory, singing and
playing the piano, and knew nothing at
all of the law.
This he Immediately demonstrated to
his father. He was given three cases
which any person of average intelligence
could have won. He lost them. Then his
father, looking very noncommittal, gave
him two more in which it was just a mat
ter of seeing the magistrate first. This
he forgot to do, as he was interested in
something else.
His father called him into his own of
flee and told him that henceforth he could
consider getting along in the world as
best he could, by his own purse and per
spiratiOn; that he had finished with him.
Breil came Immediately 10 New York
without dollar or friend. In that year
he knew what il meant to be stranded in
many cities of the country, including
New York. Louisville and Savannah.

Wrote Music and Dodged Law.

He would come into the Office carrying
his books and some blank sheets for music.
His father was frequently ont, and Brell
wrote most of the music for his first opera
by going at it hard willie his father was
away. When he heard his step in the
hall he would fall To reading Black stones
commentaries" He read with an alb
sorbed interest which would have deceived
any one but his father, who regarded law
as the most Interesting and important
thing in the world.
At that time Brcil knew nothing about
writing music, but by playing over his
compositions on his Gddle he was able
10 remedy defects which might have had
the effect on the audience which Rous-
seau's first attempt did.
The name OF the piece was Orlando,
the Bogus Duke" Cbook and music by j.
BreiI. Jr.l. He showed this great work 10
his mother with the proper amount OF
huurishcs. He played il all to her, and
she agreed 10 let him produce it in the
family drawing room.
Aided by friends who had leaning for
carpentry, he built Stage at one end of
the room, thus reducing once comforta-

ruin unhallowed by historic association.
Whether this was the tru" root for his
fathers active disapproval Of the prac
.ticc of composing music is Il question in
Breil'S mind But it afforded suitable
ground, and the fathers hatred Of the
profession was sustained through his life
Otherwise the piece was Il great success.

him, as he had been accustomed to live
the life of regular human being, eating
food and sleeping in bed as matter Of
course.
Finally he was engaged as tenor in
the Emma Juch Opera Company, which
had much talent and no business manager.
