Ho departed nervously on his errand and knocked, as 111 luck would have It, at the wrong door. "How long has your poor husband boon dead, my good woman? What number of children have you? Aro any of them working? If so, wlmt amount of money are they earning altognthcrV" were the questions he flml. like shots from a revolver, at the slatternly woman who answered his summons.

Here Is a story that Frederick Doug lass used to tell about himself: Once when hi! was in Dublin he fell very lonesome, lie was wandering about' the streets when he was attracted by! two Iolins in the window of a second-! hand denier. Frederick entered and asked the price of one ol the Instru ments. "Five shillings, sor." said the Irish dealer. rrederick tuned Hie violin and began to play "Uoek.v Koad to Dublin." Soon the proprietor's wifo heard the music and entered the rear door. Then Fred erick started In on "The Irish Washer woman," and the couple began to dance for dear life. When the music and dancing stopped Frederick ten dered the dealer 5 shillings, but his performance on the violin had greatly enhanced Its value in the mind of the storekeeper, and as lie hurried away to a plaee of security he exclaimed: "If a black nagur can git such chimes out of that fiddle I'll never sell il at any price, begorrah!"
