Systematic Hunt for
Priceless Old Papers

Quit recently a London workman
was cutting out piece of old parch-
ment into segments for making into
a lamp shade when he noticed some
old and faded writing on the piece he
had cut. A close examination re-
vealed the parchment to be a deed
Of the period Of James /. Here was
valuable old document that should
have been preserved in a museum be-
ing ruthlessly cut up to crafty the
passing whim Of fashion, and when it
had served its purpose to be cast aside
on a dust heap, a loss to history and
the severing perhaps of valuable link
with the past.
Hundreds Of priceless old documents
are being cut up in this way, but
thanks to that distinguished scholar
and antiquarian, Mr.. William lie Hardy,
a public appeal has been made to end
this needless sacrifice of historical
documents for the sake Of a craze. He
is asking to be allowed to examine the
archives Of old-established solicitors
Offices in London, where many of these
old documents are to be found, in the
hopes Of discovering deeds that will
throw some light on the history Of
some famous county families. One
firm has already given Mr.. William lie
Hardy permission to so through their
archives, with the result that many
important facts concerning the his
tories of ancient manors have been re-
vealed.-London Mail.

But among them, with the exception Ct
Edith, who was too -oung to reckon
with, not one of the girls or boys had
exhibited outstanding musical talent.
Bertha's idea, however, was founded
on this rather casual musical equip
ment Of the family.
Father must form family orchestra
and they could practice evenings.
Mother at the piano, the three boys
at the violin, flute and viola respec-
lively, Bertha and Mathilde at the
harp and cello and little Edith, who
was now eight and taking her first
lessons, at the violin.
Well, somehow, the idea caught with
Klinger like wildfre. and catching,
did some tantalizing things to family
life, curtailing the outside activities
Of the grown boys and girls to such an
extent that their souls or their eve
nings could no longer be called theft
own.
Bad as was the evening after eve
ming practicing Of the group, under
the surveillance Of Klinger, it was
offset by the fact that once more
clenched by an interest, something Of
the old good humor, and normal
gen,ality of the man revived.
Life in the Klinger household was
once more livable, as the Ringers
put 1t.
And then there began to develop
the aspect of 1t all that made the
idea Of Bertha seem to blossom into
something that was nothing short Of
genius.
Time and time again, conducting
this little group Of his family or
chestra, Klinger began to find himself
amazed and delighted by the musical
precocity of the mite of a girl playing
the third violin.
Within two months, trying to keep
down within himself the rising hope
and the rising excitement that here
in this child was talent, he saw the
thin little wisp Of a girl superceding
her delighted first violinist brother,
playing in his place.
Six months later, by arrangement
made 'y Klinger, Edith was taken to
the C. Hservatory, there to play before
the G" 1T Eicher, who pronounced her
Of on landing and amazing virtuosity.
Thu busted up the Klinger orches-
ira, So to speak.
Six hours of each day, Klinger, who
has no more time for his family Or
c1estra, interested to his fingertips,
tender Of her youth, adoring of her
talent, teaches his youngest, and plans
for her musical future.
