Popular ballads-and folk songs. such as the walls ‘of the inn had often echoed when a 'merry conipsny was present. wsrs'now.bei'ng -played, delightfully uid in peviect tune. Who was the musician? A lady tip- ieed _'softly from an adjoining room a__.\ld'mads her way quietly over to the _dark corner. A moment later she was heard to exclaim; "Why, lt's Kalman!" _ But the little boy who had caused _this surprise seemed not to hear. He played, with a rapt, far~avi'ay look in his eyes, as though in a dream. When the last strain had died away, Kaiman’s sunt examined the musical instrument. She found that sn. ear of mails had been hollowed out to fornl o. rhourailng box like a violin, and that ther; was ll crude bridge and bits of string. This, together with B, bow, laid been fashioned by a tiny boy who was ecarcely 4 years old! All so it came about that the aunt of the baby musician took him away from the (rm of the hamlet of Putza, Hun- gary. In Budapest she taught him to play the violin and; the plane. Oile day, when lie was 7 years old, she went with him to the great master, Honey. After a, long talk with the aunt, the great musician took s. violin, tuned it carefully and gave it tu thu boy to play. Kalman pinched the strings. and said: "It is not tuned rightly." The master frowned, but he took the FRON 'a dark recess of tha little MEETING 'WITH HUB.-‘xY violin from the lad. and after trying lt. reviled: - "You an correct; the 'A' is a little low." "No, it is `s little high," said Kalman, with assurance. Thereupon hs tuned .the instrument properly. And then he played with all his skill use ‘sn his heart. , Hubay ssld nothing. Ls'-ter he talked with Ks.lman's aunt, finally annpuncing that he would take the boy,arld make a great vloliliist of him, without charge for tuition! This was the real beginning of Kal- nlan Hev's education. Today, at 12 years of age, he is playing in London, where multitudes go to listen and won- der at this remarkable boy who can make his violin say such marvelous things. Kalman studies hard, but he enjoys it. He plays from seven to eight hours a. dey. and would play even more wene lie permitted to do so Weird, dreamy lullables he can improvise. Some time he will compose in real earnest. But to do this he says ive. must go to the wild forest of Hungary, whens the great, gnu-led trees and the rugged cliffs will tell him secrets which he will give to thc world through his violin, However, this tall. lithe gypsy lad. olive-skinned and with a thoughtful brow, full red lips and lustrous eyes, does not live for music alone. He de- lights lil roller skating, and is oven not ashamed to admit a great love for dolls. He would like to spend hours dressing and undresslng these playthings, wash- ing them and putting them to bod. The wonderful boy musician is very much of s. child, after alll Historical Tale The Beardless Admiral Ohilli bold pirates once took two S English inercllant ships, and Ad- miral Koppel was sent to Algiers, where the pirates lived, to get back the ships. When he got to the place he went up to the palace of the king of the pirates, tallllil with him only another English ofacsr. and boldly ilenianueil back the ships or full payment in money. The pirate king. who was ii wicked msn and had killed hundreds of people, was very angry. "l wonder." he cried. "that the English king should be, so Delish as to send li. beardless boy to me!" Hs said this because Admiral Keppel had no whiskers! But the admiral made such a bold re- Dly that the pirate king was furiously angry, and he threatened to have the dev-ing nngllshmiin killed. Not gt all frightened, Admiral Keppel pointed to the English shipsgn the harbor. ' Then he said calmly, "There are Clough Englishmen thers to blow .your palace to bits!" The pirate king said no more.

So for several days the body of the poor general lay unbur- ied on the ground.

Here very best lie knew ho`w-prosper ity.oame.not to the country, and timee were over troubloul. “Why i`s it that my -kingdom grows neither rich norlpuwerful, as do the _domluions of my' neighbors?" mused the king. "Nor is it ‘spemly that I should be called ‘the Greet; when I _have done nothing for my people to deserve the title." The king pondered long upon the subject, until hc decided that he would remain inactive no longer. "I am satisfied," eaid he, "that if the wrangling and strife would cease ln my land and the people were to become happy and contented, pros- perity would come also." ,Bo he vowed that lie would travel among th`e _nations of the world, tc discover how peace was belt main- tained. In order that it would be impossible for hlin to be cs.llii_d back to attend to matters of state, e ban- ished himself for one whole year. As an exile, tile monarch must needs travel alone without a retinue. Bilt there being no telegraph or telephone in those days, he devised tl. plan whereby he might be kept in touch with matters concerning hill king- dom and by which he could exchange messages with his queen whenever it was desired. 1-‘allowing the king. within earslict. was ll courticr, and behind this courtier was another no- bieniall, at like distance.

"O Bphinx, what shsll l- do to se- cure tlie happiness of lily people?" he asked. And a. voice issued from the im- movable iips of the Sphinx, saying: "By turning away from thy people when occasion demands lt." King Ksnish was considering how he could possibly do good to his sub- jects by/turning away from them, when news, which had come from the queen and passed from courtier to cour- tier, was delivered to him. "The queen wishes tha king to know," shouted the nearest xiohle- man, "that in the,line which now follows thee are all the noblemen. tradesnlen and men of lmportanos in our land, so that busiiiclv-a ill at g standstill and the affairs 0( the king- dom may not be conductsdd' “Ah!" exclaimed the lti,7¢_with .a pleased smile “then if tl " are no men left in the land, than ‘lertainly is no quarrellng.
