It Was Rut Away to Root A ft or tho
Muoio Teacher's Request.
In old times our music loving an­
cestors had to become performers
themselves or go without music.
Not unnaturally, the ambition to
possess a fine musical instrument
occasionally outran a discreet judg­
ment of the prospective owner’s
ability to master it.
It is related that Air. Prince, one
of the rich merchants of old New-
buryport in the opening years of
the last century, became the owner
of a fine piano. He was also the
father of some charming daughters,
and a gentleman who in youth
a frequent caller used in age to re­
late tnat he “ never heard but one
tune played on the piano there, and
that was ’Charlie Over the Water,'
with one hand only— and I have
waited hours to hear that!*
Captain Fans of the same old
town used to ffclate that a few years
earlier, in the days of the French
revolution, he had occasion to put
into the port of Marseilles. He was,
like many other seafaring men to
whom on their long voyages the di­
version and delight of melody was
especially precious, an amateur mu­
sician with a modest pride in his
powers. His instrument was the
fiddle, and his teacher had been a
wandering French fiddler of much
skill, who bad once passed some
months in Newburyport.
One evening, as he was rowing
from shore to his ship, his boat
passed close by the side of a French
prison ship, where suspected and
condemned men were confined by
direction of the leaders of the ter­
ror, then at its height. Suddenly he
heard his name called and rowed
up to the porthole whence the voice
had come and where he could dimly
discern a face looking down upon
him. It proved to belong to his old
music master.
“ Can I do anything for you ?” in­
quired the captain, much concerned.
“ No,” responded the gallant lit­
tle Frenchman, with a cheerful
shrug. “ I die tomorrow. But, cap­
tain, there is one little favor I ask
of you, and it is this: if any one
asks who taught you to fiddle pray
do not give him my name.”
The captain never learned the
ultimate fate of the musician—
probably he was executed, as he ex­
pected— but he accepted the criti­
cism implied in his parting request
He hung up his fiddle and never
played again.— Youth’s Companion.
W h o wouldn’t be delighted to get a Victor or Victor-
Victrola for Christmas!’
' It's a real pleasure to own such an instrument; to be able
to enjoy the world’s best music whenever you want to hear it.
T h e Victor is truly the ideal gift for every one.
And
it is a lasting pleasure— an unequaled source of enter­
tainment throughout the year.
Come in and hear the Victor and Victor-Victrola. Let
us show you the different styles— $ i o to $2 5 0 — and
explain to you our easy-payment plan.
