THE
ORGANIST OF
SULZBACH
Bp FRED R. WEBBER
( by Short Ntury PuM. Co.)
IN TUB lltUe Oeriuan town of Suls
bacb, Joaef Itudolatidt wa an Im
portant man. for mora than fifty
years be bad been organist of the
village church. And to be the organlat
of the village church of Sulabacb I a
distinction second only to that of be
ing burgomaster or pastor. Hut both
organ and organist bad become so
Vd that even the ultra-conservative
townspeople saw that a change wa
uecvaaary. To buy a new orgau wa
not a difficult matter, but to discharge
tha old organist, now too feeble to Oil
tha poelUod, was another thing.
A popular subscription was taken,
and tha townspeople saw visions of
an organ that would b the pride of
the lower Khlne-couutry. Itullder were
called from Urusaeli, and In the course
of time the orgsn wa built, brought
to Kulibacb and let up.
On tb day that tha work wa com
pleted, tha question of the old or
gaulst' dismissal was settled, for It
was learned that Josef Itudolstadt had
died during the night.
Now another question arose. Who
wnt to play the new organ? Such
position of honor could not be given
to tb first man who applied for It
True, Sulsbach had a doten aspiring
orgnnlts,.yet only two seemed eligible.
One was Kerr Esquerr and the other
waa Karl Itudolstadt, eon of the old
organist.
I'lerre wa a Frenchman, and bad
lived In the town for year. Ilia house
waa In the lower part of the town,
near tha Ithlna. Thla, together with
tb fact that llrrre waa a musician of
exceptional ability, waa all that the
people of the town knew about blm,
for be wa a mu who kept much to
himself. Ooaalp had never bit upon
any explanation of bta past. Just why
so talented a man should he content
to live In a village and teach music
waa a matter that bad never been
explained.
Karl Itudolstadt wa man of con
siderable popularity, lie had spent all
his life In the town, was well known
and well liked. Karl had Inherited hla
musical talent from his father, and
had apeut yesra In training, under th
direction of the old organ master.
Such man was fitted for th posi
tion, hi friend Insisted, tint there
were other who were determined that
th Frenchman's great skill should not
he Unored. Tb question agltatec
Bulshach fur day. It was, discussed
with much vehemence by the towns
men, and whenever a group of people
were seen on the street. It was rea
sonably certain that the tuple of con
versation wa tli Ksquerre Hudnlstndt
controversy.
Finally a ptao wa evolved and
agreed upon. It was decided to hav
trial day, and th rival musicians
were each to play. The tow nienpl
were to be the Judges, snd th selec
tion of th organist wa to be by
popular vol.
For days tha rival musicians prac
ticed on th big organ.
Finally th trial day arrived, tt
had been declared a public holldny,
and every man who could brought hla
family to th church to hear the candi
dates play.
The pator of th church announced
the conditions. Eacb organist waa to
hsv th privilege of playing what'
ever he wished. If either of the two
refused to compete,' th choice wa
to go to hi rival. Every person above
th age of eighteen wa entitled to one
vote, and their choice would decide
th question of such moment.
The nam of I'lerre Ksquerre waa
announced. TJiere waa much sup
pressed excitement when the French
man took hla place a( th organ and
arranged hi stops.
Th people of Bulthacb bad never
beard aucb playing. Pierre bin! choaeu
only on number. II started wltb
the aot toned (top of the organ,
gradually added to hi registration.
building up hi them a he weut, un
tU be reached the climax In thunder
of diapasons that brought th entire
audience to their feeL
He left tha organ bench flushed, and
with ft look of conscious triumph. Th
peopl were speechless for a time.
Then they, looked at on another In
amusement, for when had any of them
heard such playing I They discussed
It In suppressed whispers. It wa
wonderful! Hut other Insisted that
Karl Itudolstadt could outdo the
Frenchman.
The nam of th young Gorman wa
announced, and th people were all
attention. Hut tb rival candidate did
not appear.
Five, tun, fifteen minute passed,
tben half an hour. Tb people grew
restless. Tben It waa luggosted that
I'lvrr be elected, for by th term of
th trial, Itudolstadt' elisenc mad
him Ineligible. Th Uonnan' friend
protested, because they knew that Karl
was no coward, and that h wu not
absent voluntarily. Messenger were
sent out, but the man could not be
found.
A vot wa taken and th French'
man elected.
Day passed, and Karl Itudolstadt
did not return. Th town wa agitated
for ft whllft, for It wss not usual for
ft man to lesv hi family and friend
In such manner, especially In com'
niunlty wlier generation live and die.
and no on think of moving away,
Gradually th matter wa forgotten,
and In th course of time It became
a tradition of tb village.
Tli organ and th organist wer
famed throughout th region, and
many tale were told of the wonderful
(kill of tb organist.
Finally, before a fest-day, It was
decided to repair th organ. The
French organist, now grown old, bad
kept It lu repair, but now It needed
thorough overhauling, and the
builder wer aent for and arrived. '
That night 1'lerr Ksquerre wss seen
entering th church.
On tb following day tb master-
builder wbo wa repairing tb organ,
left th church In greut excitement
and summoned on of th town of
ficials. Hi builder led th way to tb
cburch, and motioned (or tha select
man to follow blm to tb organ loft
Tut your foot on that pedal," tb
builder said.
The selectman obeyed, but there wa
no sound.
'What I wrong wltb th organ 1
Why will that pedal not sound r
"Follow m snd yoo'll tee."
Tb master-builder hurriedly led tb
way to tb back of th organ nnd up
a long Udder to platform. Heion
war th row of great, open pedal-
pipe.
Th builder lowered bis Hitht Into
on of them and motioned for tb town
official to took.
"A man' feet I" th (electaoaa cried.
After hurried discussion, number
of workmen war called, and th big
pipe wa lifted out and Inld on tb
floor of tb organ loft. Then the
workmen draw from th lesid of tb
pll th body of tb old Frenchman.
Th men wer horrified. No one cared
especially for tb sinister old organlat,
but tb manner of hi death wu ter
rible. On of th men, sroaiixring tb body,
govs cry, and called tb attention
of hi companion te rope clutched
In th band of th dead Pierre.
Tbey pulled th rope out of tb pip,
and at Ita end wa bundle. Tb
selectman' eye Hashed meaningly.
"I hav always suspected," he aald;
"now w shall see."
11 rut th leather thongs and un
rolled ft faded coat of peculiar make
that even th younger men remem
bered aa belonging to tb missing or
ganist Inside of this wss another
bundle. In which wa wallet, watch
and severs! smaller articles of Jewelry.
In th esse of the watch wa engraved :
. "Karl Itodolatadt, Bulabach, 181T."
Th story waa clear to all. Before
th trial tb selectman explained to
the or ran builder, the Frenchman bad
killed his rival and bad made way with
bta body, possibly (Inking It In th
river. He bad hidden In th organ
pipe tb dead man' coat and valu
able, w hich would hav Identified blm,
should th body be found. When the
builder cam, tjis Frenchman, alarmed
at th possible discovery of bis crime,
tried to remove the Incriminating arti
cle from th organ pipe, had lost his
balance and bad fallen In himself to
terrible death.
Tha excitement In 8ulzbach, when
the new waa learned, wa great, and
many reproacbea wer heaped on the
memory of th dead Frenchman.
Th organ I tb pride of th vll
lajrn, even today, and th townspeople
never grow tired of telling the occa
elonnt visitor of Ita nnuaual story.
With Prey in Gratp, '
Tiger Sensed Danger
Moat wild animal are specialists;
that la to aay, they are highly devel
oped In on particular direction. The
tiger I great a atalker. His feet
seem to be shod wltb sllenc. A gen
tleman, for many year ft resident of
India, cites an experleoc of on neigh
bor Ulustratlv of thla point
II bad been much annoyed by
tigers, and at last tied ft bullock out
In clearing and took up his own po
sition In a tree to wait Ull th tiger
should com after the bait The
ground waa covered wltb dried leaves,
which In hot weather are ao brittle
that even th walking of a bird over
them can be beard for good distance.
In no very long time a large tiger
lipped out of tb forest and slowly
edged toward th bullock. Ill method
waa ao elaborate and careful that the
man who aaw It used to declare that
It would have been worth a thousand
rupeea to any young sportsman to
hsv witnessed It
So carefully did he put down eacb
paw, and so grsduatly did he crush
the leave under It that not a sound
wa to be beard. Iletween him and
th bullock waa stump about four
feet high, with long, projecting sur
face roots. Thla, plainly, th tiger
looked upon a godsend.
He got upon on of the roota bal
anced himself carefully, and so was
able to walk quickly and silently a)
far a th tump. II approached ao
gradually and nolsalestly, and his
color agalnat tb brown leave waa
ao Invisible, that he waa close upon
the bullock before be waa perceived.
Then, Instantly the bullock charged.
Th tiger eluded him, and In mo
ment more had hi pawa on the bul
lock's neck, ready to drag him down.
Tben, Ilk flash, he caught sight of
th rop by which the bullock was
tied, and sprang nto th forest
Mythological Lore

phrase. Why 1 fat so sure! Th

her shears. They alone dared oppose
tb sovereign will of th gods, and tbey

college. And some poultrymen. they
say, try to mak themselves believe
that they have flock of good-slxed
pullets by weighing the largest ones.
Tha only persons tbey fool ar them
selves, and that to no avail,
A pullet which Is nnderstxed or Im
mature will not lay enough to be pro
fitable. And wbat one man consider
small pullet may be considered large
enough by another man. It Is not
wholly matter of opinion, however,
