"In the mldde of Juno, lost rear, a few months before h.'s death, Tolstoy tame to staywlt!i nio at Merch prsU. lie came from Yuenuya, 1'oliana, weary In body and soul.

And then, suddenly, (he inspiration came, and quite unexpectedly for us, ho wrote this little sketch." j He returned home at aout 6 o'clock that morning, and went, as he always did, Into his dreseing room. But Instead of undressing ha dropped into an arm chair, and letting tils hands fall onto hi knees, sat motionless for five or ten , minutes, perhaps even for as much as ' an hour he did -not - remember. "I take the knave of hearts" and he i saw the twful relentless face before him with the faint gleam of satisfaction In ! the cold eyes. "Damn!" eild he, aloud. Somebody moved in the adjoining room, i and Ms wife entered. 8ha wort a muslin f cap, a nightdress smothered in laee, j and on' her feet little, green velvet slip pers.

Bhe feit sorry for him, but she was even more sorry for herself, because they would now be poor, and be cause she had lain awake the whole night worrying and waiting for him.

Ho ha said at least; but she saw that he bed doclded nothing, and that he was tn despair and ready to catch at any straw. She listened till he had finished, and then said, "All this Is absurd and disgusting. It Is Im possible to lose so muoh money acci dentally. It la too Idiotic." "Reproach me If you like do what you will with me." "I am not going to reproach you - or make ft scene. Can't you understand that I want to aave you as I have always done, no matter how pttlfuf or despicable you have ssmsd to me?" "Go on oh, go oni It isn't for long now."

Tell him you were driv ing to the Nlcolaevsky station no, better go At once to the police no, not now go about 10 o'clock. Say you were walk ing along the Nechaevsky Lane, when three men sprang ouC on with a beard, another quite young with a revolver and they got away with the money. Then go at once to Freem, and tell the same story!" "Yet, but " he lighted another ciga rette. "They might find out from Ne krasoff. Oh, I'll go to Nekrasoff and tell him first I'll manage all right." tflsoha grew calm, and by 1 o'clock wna sleeping Ilk a log, At 10 she woke l.im. Another 8oee. All thlg happened early one morning in an upper flat. In a lower flat of the samo block of bulldlnrs. In the family of ths OstrovsklB, the following happened In the evening at o'clock: Dinner waa just over, and young Princess Ostrovskl book oned to the butler, who had Just served everyone with the dessert an orange jelly. Ehe took a clean plate and turned to her children. They were two, the elder a C-year-old boy Buka and the younger a girl of H Tmniaehka both oharmlng children. Boka, a serious, healthy, sol emn little man, With a delightful smile which showed his uneven teeth, and Te nia, a dark lively and energetic- child, tnll:atlvc, amusing and merry, always good tempered and kind. "Now, children, who wants to take nurae some Jelly?" "To nurse?" aaked Boka. "I do." ' "No! Me, me!" shouted Tanlachka, and Jumped off her chair. "Who spoko first you. Boka?' said their father, who Invariably spoiled Tania and therefore always welcomed an oppor-J tunlty to prove how fair he could be. "Come, Tania, you must give in to your brother," he cald to Ills favorite. "All v?,nt, Boka, go I'm glad to let him. Crime on, Boka, you take it. I never mind giving Boka anything." Tempted Dual Fell. t'fual'y the children thanked their par ents for the meal before rising, and now everyono remained at table drinking cof fee and wuillni? for lioka to return; but some time passud ond he did not appoar. "Tania run to the nursery and see why Boku's eo slow." Tauta Jumped off her chair. Knocked a spoon off the table, picked it up, and pushed it on to the edge of the table. The spoon fell down again. -Tania began to laugh, and picking it up once more, flow off on her stockinged little legs down the corridor to the nursery, beyohd which was their nurse's door. Phe was running through the night nursery when she heard a rob behind her. Hhe looked around. Boka waa standing by hla rot, looking at a toy horse. In his hand he held a plate, and he was crying bitterly. The plate was empty. "Boka, what's the matter, Boka? And where i the Jelly?" "1 I I ale It accidentally on tho way. : 1 won't go I won't go back there! 1 j Tar.la yea, I did no I didn't mean to, jteslly I didn't only I ate It all up! First just a little bit, and then all cif lu What shall I do? I didn't mean to!" Tania looked thoughtful. Ank BluWa waa robbing his heart out. guddenly Tania brightened. "Look here, Boka don't cry you go and tell nurale. Tell her you did It accidentally. ond ask her to forgive you. And tomorrow let's give her our pudding she's so kind." Boka stopped crying. He rubbed his ees first with the palms and then with the backs of lilts handa. "How shall I tell her':"' he whispered in a trMnbltng I voice. j "Let's go logttiier." j The ran off together, and returned j present !, iulie happy and merry. And the'r nurse and tnelr parxnts were i also hippy and very amused when nurse, ,auKMit7, and yet with tender pride, told j tuein the w'tole story. I Free Lastd.

And It Is essentially true. - Klvc trinity lights our homes, toat" our bread, heats the Iron on Tuesdays, runs our motors and engines, makes our street cars a great convenience, rune our elec tric, care, furnishes power, actual power for various and sundry purposes. In fact one can scarcely soe what our forefathers did without It. H is one of our best friendct. It is great when we control It. As Profersor Grummann pointed out last Monday In connection with Lokl, In his remarks On dernonology, these beings gave good service when they were con trolled by the gods: it was when the gods lost control of them, or were tn their power temporarily, that they caused trouble. And so. In tho matter whereon we are speaking, these friends of ours are of service when they are controlled by us. When electricity. In the form of a light ning bolt, descends, it brings fire, destruc tion and perhaps death with It; It is then uncontrolled. When we read of some per son being electrocuted by having come In contact with a live wire we note that the friend has become a friend, that our best friend Is our worst enemy. Take the case of fire. It heats our houses, cooks our meals, gives us light, heat and comfort. It generatea our steam and makes possible the Twentieth Cen tury Limited or the Pennsylvania flyer, or the Overland Limited. And yet, houses are eaten up by ths flame, homes art destroyed, families made miserable, busi ness depressed, wareTiouseS reduced to ashes, men and women driven out of em ployment; yes, our good frtend firs is often spoken of as the flre-Oendt The railroad Is a great friend and one that does wondnrful things for us, ' it makes it possible for tts to visit friends at a distance, It annihilates space for us, and conveys us comfortably and safely, yes but there are sometimes bad railway wrecks, and then there are accidents of a fatal nature, and people lone their Uvea, and It seems as though ths friend had become an enemy. And money, what a friend In money. It makes us happy, to be . able ' to buy what wo want, and If one has mrfhey, man) people think that he Is rich. (But you can be rich without having money, and you can have money and not be rich.) Lots of people' wish for the friendship of thin friend, and when they get It they find that they do not get as much out of it as they thought they would. Money, after all, is purely a commercial proposi tion. It depends on what It costs: It de pends on what you paid for It, what you get out of it. It is a very good friend: it makes possible the trip abroad fop edu cation, ths trip for health, ths nurse, the tsaoher, the grocer and baker and candlestick-maker: It is a good friend this money. But remember it Is also an enemy. (Can't we hear someone say "Oh how 1 do love my enemies".) Money has been the enemy of many good people. Often have you heard ths remark "He would be all right if It weren't for his money". Many persons would be happier to-day if they had Just one-tenth as much money ss they bava, and this is no railing against the money power. Many of us think we would like a little mors of the friendly side, and risk the enemy pronost tion: But perhaps not, after all. Even in the musical profession many a piece of trouble or mischief has been cauaed through money as an enemy. The anxious grabbing for It eauees money to be an enemy. And so, money like the other things mentioned, can be a very good frtend and a very bad enemy. ' That wonderful analyst c-t human ha. turs. William Shakespeare, said some centuries ago: "He that wants money, means, and content, is without three good friends." (Want, here of course being used in, the sense of lack, not desire), But the same immortal seer also said; "Who should not wlrh to be from wealth exempt, 8lnoe riches point to misery and con tempt." It wan saki by One In old time "A man's foes shall be they of his own household.' And it Ib true very often today. A man's friends, the very people of his household are his worst enemies In many cases. They have ft wrong viewpoint. They are prejudiced it) his favor and they can not tell him the real truth because they do not see It. And then when someone does tell him the truth, the friend becomes in ulgnant and woe betide the truth-teller. Take the matter of playing or singing. It is usually the core that the members of one's houaehpld are ths most fervent admirer's of one's work. (It is not al ways so sometimes ths best critic of one s work are to bo found In the family circle, or in the circle of close friends.) But usually, the friends and admirers are fa the household. They always place a false value on the work of the one In Whom they are Interested. They never remember that they are of ths family and may bo prejudiced, in one's favor. In this column the fact has often been drawn attention to before that one should be careful about accepting the too glow ing praise of one's own family. It they happen to be wrong. It Is doubly bod for the one Involved, first because It la not true, and conauquently ths person over praised will believe that ths praise la a reward for work done, and will not feel the necessity of necossary work: and secondly, because when the rrttlo or the ouutiia friend tells the real truth about the person's work, he is not believed, and right here is a tide neglected, which might have borne the Aspirant on to succens am compensation. And that leads to another old raying: "Don't be I lavs anything you hear and only half of what you see." Many times does It happen that p-oopl who call themselves frlendn are really er.emlee. because they ore unable to tell the truth when they quote you. A trsltor Is abhorred In all nations, and betrayal ts an effonce which is not looked upon with fe.vor. Judas baa not yet become a popular character, tie wss a betrtye'. a traitor. In many armies, traitors have been shot. The punishment fits the crime. Now there Is not any other way In which a man may be described whs will delib erately betray or reveal ths private opin ion of a frtsnd. Ws art all human and we all disouas things In ths sanctity of horns which ws do not proclaim an the street-can er on ths broad highway. Kven In connection with our most Inti mate and best-loved friends, there ore little things which we do not like per haps, but which we would not mention to them for the world, for fear of burt pa n -rT.nf In their feelings, and making the mat ter appear graver than It really Is. And yet we discuss them perhaps at a men! together. Let us Imagine thst every one who reads this column to-day could have a parallel 'statement of what their best frlendn Sdy to them about their singing or playing, and what these same beat friend nay to their other best friends, about the name singing or playing, wouldn't It be an Interesting study? Ws can be perfectly honest In saying "I enjoyed your playing very much" and yet we may see much to improve and we may not Jtrres at all. In reirard to the Interpretation but refrain from saying so. We have all heard and enjoyed splendid speakers with whom we did not agree. But it is a dangeroua thing whan people carry back and forwiud things which peo ple have said. For example, If Jones dis cusses Hmlth with Green present. Jones takes It for granted the conversation la not for Smith's ears. It Is therefore betray ing a conversation for Green to run and tell Hmlth what Jones aalu about him. And such a person Is a traitor, wherever you find him, and as remarked before Judas . has not yet been accepted as a desirable character. Strangest part of all In tale-bearing Is that poopls always will jump with credul ity at a tale, no matter how they may distrust the person telling, and will relish It and enjoy It and dwell on It, and tell It over again, without ever going to per son-number-one and seeing If ths things will bear Inspection. Don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see. In all the writer's experience he has never yet "run down" a story or tale-bearer's gossip, without finding thst there was nothing, or at least very little, to ths whole matter. . Tares never d acres a In ths bearing, and gossip diminishes not In Its flight. Just last week' a man came to the writer with a "story" of what some one had said; the writer replied "Take me to him and I will explain the thing clearly". Hut nothing like that'Was done. The per son agreed however to. "get us together very soon". Which will be. ne-er! No. they do not want to get things straight ened out. However, this Is all due to the remark made over ths phone by a good and valued frtend, and as we sat together last Monday afternoon waiting for a lecturer to begin, these thoughts began to crystal lize. 'A man's best friends are often his enemies". "Don't believe anything you hear, and only half what you see". "A man's foes shall be they of his own household". And while on tho subject we might avoid misunderstandings sometimes by recalling the words of the wise king: "Wtiere no wood Is, there the fire goeth out: so Where there Is no talebearer the strife ceaoeth". THOMAS J. KELLY. Maslewl Notes, Mr. Mux Landow Is playing to two clasaes of twelve people esch who call themselves the "Music Htudy club." They meet on alternate weeks In Mr. Lan dow's studio st his home and liston to his Interpretation of the great com Dosers. taklna them In thotr historical order. Mr. Landow Insisted that these Internretatlons should be wholly by means of the Instrument, but he Is kind enough to add a fow words t illuminate the idea of the composition ho Is giving and also answers any questions the nlaa may propose, his next program win tie from iia.vdn and Moaart. when he will tlve a concerto by the latter, with Mr. lartln Bush at the second piano. The clasaes were made up almost entirely of people who are not themselves perform ers, but simply lovers of good music, and they feel they are deriving much pleasure, a well as benefit, from the course. Al though ths Idea did net originate wuu Mr. Landow and he had nothing to do with recruiting the clasaes, he Is much pleased with the interest shown by those attending. Mr. Siginund Lendsberg announces the annual nubile recital to be Riven by some of his advanced pupils on Thursday even ing, Iieonnvber l, at the First Christian ehurcii.
