TIIE SCTCANTON TRIBUNE-FRIDAY MOTlNINGr, MATtCn l-'G, 1897. 0 Co'iyrljrlit, 1S07. by 0. F. Bussell. PART I. I vns not out from choice that nlRht. not a lilt of It. for it wuh one of thoo nights, Hint, when one has to, ho walk ing fihout outside, Ills prlnctpnl Idea. Is inset in analli, to tnku off hln wot .shoes and warm himself before the great lire. JJecause my work kept me out very lale, sometimes far Into the mornlnjj. I had, n abort time before, moved down town, so that 1 could walk home in Mead of bavliif? to depend on the uncer tainly of the nlKht ears. That Is the i casein, together with the fact that f hud my mackintosh lint toned up to my i yes, and my hat pulled far down, I missed the street 1 usually turned Into . . ,, , .. i.i..nt. in Ket to my rooms anu waiiieu u inuei out of my way before 1 discovered It. It was lout; after mldnlRlit. The street I did turn down was particularly dark and narrow and the houses were most ly small, two-and-a-half story affairs, of brick that had once been red, with dirty marble steps protected by rusty Iron ratlines. They were all eiiunl In Ki'liho and dreariness. As 1 hurried along, very much (11b rcustert with nivself for having bone out of my way on such n night, the heavy tones of a pipe organ suddenly made themselves felt under the nulso hi the Htm in, low and solemn. I stopped full of wonderment, I looked about for some structure large enough to contain the sound. There was no church of heavy masonry, with solid .Mono doorways, with strong arched windows, which would have properly framed the music, mid It did not seem possible Hint it could come from any of the small buildings ahead of me. A heavy rush of wind drowned the sound. It came from one of the little bouses. I stopped In front of it still more amazed. The sombre tones of the second movement In Chopin's famous sonuta his funeral inarch caino out to me. I got under the shelter of the tree and listened, leaning ngalnst the 1 1 unk. The shutters were open and thro were no curtains to the windows, hut 1 could sec no light. The last part of tin, march was being played. It swelled, it rose, it thundered and crashed, and then it thundered and rumbled and died down and ceased. I drew In a long breath and sighed, and then wondered why 1 had done so. For the moment I forget to be surprised that an organ was In such a place and that it was being played at such. an hour, bin instead Imply wondered w ho It was who could get such human tones out of it. I gazed at the windows i agerly, hoping to se the one who had been playing. A weazened face appeared at one of the windows that of an old man, with 'long, white hair that grew at the back and sides of his head only. Ills skin seumed almost colorless. He opened the window and pulled in the shutters; did it slowly.regurdless of the storm. I heard the bolt slide into its meket. and then ho appeared at the other window and closed In the shut ters there, but he did not seem to no tice me. Next niornlnir t began to speculate as to why he was playing the march at that hour, till I got my curiosity worked' up to such a pitch that I made up my mind to know all about the old man with the colorless face. Who upon as a miser. Tie lived with an old colored woman who did his work and had lived In his dreary llttlo house for a great many years. Ills name was LnnuiH, but It was not known that he did anything but piny on his organ lind nlanos it was said be had very many pianos. That was nil the Infor mation J could get. 1 made It a point, nfter the rainy night when I llrst heard him play, al ways to pass his house going to and from niv rooms, and .now and then when T would hear his organ, 1 would stop and listen to the nun eh. It seemed to be the only piece the old n new toy which some out1 has taken the pains to admire. "Don't sny anything," he said, "You know why 1 starve, nnd 1 know what you think." 1 asked him If he ever played outside, and where he played. 1 lind an Idea that he might be an organist at some church. "Why, don't you know?" he asked, appearing astonished, nnd then he said: "No, of course you don't know. I'm playing It for hermy wile they played It at her funeral. They say I, fainted odd. Isn't It V 1 used to be an architect; 1 wns a pretty good one, too. Yes, 1 was a good aichltect. 1 did that for her. Why, when I got married I was ten vears ahead of any mnn of my nge. I was thirty- live then. I'm not sorry she's dead, for she suffered it great deal. Her horse threw her two years alter we were married, ami sue was an Invalid for live years. 1 stayed with her all the time. There was noth ing to work for then, because 1 knew she would die." He paused for a moment, but did not take his eyes from the lloor. Then be went on again: "I spent almost all of my money for her, but I was very glad to do Hint, I had earned It for her. "Do you know," lie said, looking up ill me, musingly, while he spoke very slowly, "she Is ulways with me when I am playing, and 1 know she Is not suffering',' At llrst I'm afraid It had rrviiirt: Kill 1 HEMS' SOT" r 7 W" "t WJrff - 1 Amw nPt in ih I JHTm I iJ J HE PUT HIS FINGER TO HIS UPS. I STOPPED, FUTr; OF -woxdeu- J1KNT, was he, I argued, who could get such a feeling out of muslo that 1 should stop In tho rain nnd feel full In my chest? 1, who thought I cared nothing for mu sic, I, who thought I had no heart for anything but -my own work. I had heard the march many times before and hnd been Impressed by Its solemn ity, but that was all. I could even whistle tho second part of It but this old man: what was his secret? AVhfit was his sorrow? It was impossible for such a person to escape the notice of his nelghliois, but I was surprised to find how little wus known about him. He was louked Not everyone can go South for March, but almost every body can spend a dollar or two for Scott's Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil. If you have got a lingering cough or are run down; are weak and ex hausted by reason of the Grippe, ask your doctor if Scott's Emulsion isn't just what you need in the emer gency. The combined vir tues of the Cod-liver Oil, the Hypophosphites and Glycer ine as prepared in Scott's Emulsion will give you flesh and strength rapidly and help you back to health. man ever played. Being but newly come to the city, I had few acquain tances, and for that reason, If for none other, I derived considerable satisfac tion from the powerful piece. s One afternoon, It must have been about six months after I first heard hlm play, I was passing through his street whistling the middle part of the inarch when I suddenly looked up at his windows and saw the old man looking at me. 1 stopped short In my whistling and was ashamed of myself because I had an Indefinite Idea that the march belontred entirely to him and that I was doing wrong to whistle it, especially when ho could hear me. Hut lie looked at me so pleasantly that I smiled back and bowed to him, and he also nodded his head. A few days later he was standing on his steps as I was passing, and 1 nodded to him again, I should have gone on, but he looked as though he wished 'to speak to me, and 1 paused as I reached his steps. "You liko my march?" he asked. I said I did, very much, and won dered how he knew that I had heard him piny. "Come in," he said, after looking me over keenly. "I hope I'm not disturbing you," I snld, apologetically, "but I've beard your mutch several times from the outside and I felt It that I must know the man who played it." "Yes, he said, and then led the way to the parlor, for the urgan was built up to within ten feet of the windows. "Take a chair," he said, pointing to the onlv one in the room, and he sat upon the organ bench and eyed me crit ically. "You, too have a sorrow. I knew you would come! 1 saw you under the tree in the storm. Hut why didn't you come sooner?" "You knew I would come,!" I ex claimed. "Yes, of course; they nil do. They lind a crazv old mlzer, and then they forget the march." He laushed a low laugh at my as tonishment that he had seen me. I studied him curiously. He was very old, not In years, perhaps, but In misery nnd sorrow. His skin was wax-like and seemed transparent; I almost thought that 1 could see his skull through it. Hut the eves there was the man! the body vanished. it seemed that the soul was eating up tho body. What does a body amount to when one has a soul? I forget that 1 was slttlnz in front of him and was wondering why he was a miser when 1 realized that he was talking. "They do not know what love or sor row is; everything Is earth to them. They looked at my house and my body and said I am a fool, and they went away. My name Is LauUIs. What's yours?" I told hlm. "Perhaps you may understand." He swung around on the bench nnd started to play bis divine march. He straightened up and 'seemed to 111) out the clothes that hung loosely on him befote; h,ls arms seemed strong and ac tive. The player and tho emaciated old man were two separate and distinct beings. When he stopped playing nnd softly pushed In the stops, the spell wns not broken; the spirit of Hie march was still lu the room and when he swung round on the bench again, his face seemed to be encircled In a halo of light. I .forget that I was in a dingy little uoartment containing no furni ture but one chair and a stool, with one old engraving decorating the walls, the paper on which was stained and peel ing off. "Can you blame me for starving for that?" he asked, softly, when the time for speaking came. "No, I said, "1 do not blame you." There was another silence which ho disturbed by crossing the lloor and throwing tho shutters wide open, let ting the sunlight Into the room, I roused myself and tiled to say some thing In ptalse of his playing, but he cut me orf by laughing aloud, his face beaming, reminding me of a baby with a bitterness In it, for I could not be quite satisfied, though I knew I should have been glad at once she was in Heaven. I sold the house we had and bought this, because 1 only had two hundred a year left. They cheated me in both selling and buying. Hut I didn't care much. I had enough left over to get a pretty good piano after paying my debts. I've bought three more pianos since, and I've had this ornu put in. It is very beautiful, is it not?" I said It was. "It's very hard work, though, on two hundred a year I can't eat very much. Hut I'm saving up now for the last time, and then" He broke off suddenly, and asked me if I should care to see his pianos. I said I should, for C wanted to move around and shake myself together. The pianos were all over the house live of them and he played the march on every one, beginning with the old est nnd telllnir me how much starving each one had cost. Then he took me back to the orsran and played the march on It exerting himself to bring out the contrast. "He wrote It for tho piano Chopin did," he said to me, "but he did not know It as I do no one ever did. Some day I will write It down as I know It and it will not be played on the piano any more." 1 nodded my head nnd said "yes," but I could not agree with hlm. He could write It down yes; but who was there to play as he played It? Why else could sacrillce his world for the pleasure of one march? When I went to see him again about a week later I thought that he looked a little thinner, If It were possible, but he seined greatly pleased at sight of me. He did not seem inclined to play, but wanted to talk. He apparent ly had something Important to tell. He left me In the parlor and slipped quiet ly away after putting his finger to his nps cautioning silence. I v. as at my wits' ends to make out the reason for his mysterious actions. Something unusual had happened or was going to happen that was plain. Tho parlor showed that a clmurje for the worse had taken place In It. Where there had been a chair and a stool be fore, there was only a stoo! now and the one engraving was gone. "She's eating In the kitchen," the old man said when he reappeared, sneak ing in a whlsoer. "Who's in the kitchen?" I asked. "Sh! she'll hear , ou Millie's there, eating suusages. She says she won't starve any more. Hut she don't starve I could never keep her from eating three times a day. I eat only once now. She sells my things because I don't give her money. She shan't get the money, though, and I won't any of the things In six months." "Hut why don't you give her money to buy food for you both? What do you want to save for now, when you have such an oigan?" 1 questioned. He seated himself upon the organ bench and played a few bars. "Did you ever hear of tho organ In Albert hall?" ho asked, presently, his eyes glistening as he spoke. 1 nodded my ln-ad. "I'm going to London to ploy on It!" ho said, "and that's why I'm saving my money. It has ton thousand pipes ten thousand pipes! Think of It! And neatly one hundred and fKty stops. I will play my inarch on it. My ilPtir old march I hope some one will play It for me when 1 am dead. Think of U; ten thousand pipes! I will play on the big organ, and then I shall be ready to die."

John Tel for, who died at Mosehello, Annapolis, Nova Scotia, recently, at the nge of 70 years, was, pel haps, the most notable Instance of a hibernating human being of which there Is any record. Ft r the Inst twenty yeais of his life he had passed the winters lu , almost continuous sleep, and for fully llfleeu years no effort was made by his family to prevent hlm relapsing Into his iii'inml stilt or, bis case having been abandoned as hopeless. Many physi cians bad tried (heir hand with Telfer, and one after the other gave him up. The public curiosity which the case at tracted at llrst died awaj nfter two or tin ee years, and Telfer'a neighbors paid as little attention to his doings latterly as they would to any person In his hum ble station. When he died the news pain rs of the vicinity recorded the Tact brlelly. and only one gave my account of the strange man's history. Teller's people wet e ti"llph. Ills father had served In the Hritlsh aimy, of which he was u pensioner. The only evidence of heredity lu the sleeper's mental peeullailty Is Hie fact that his father, the old soldier, committed sui cide. The elder Telfer was a cobbler, and heroic he killed himself the son had begun to uct strangely. He would sit for hours' at his father's bench, laughing and talking to himself. At times be would break Into immoder ate llts of laughter, and again In light ing Imaginary foes he would work him self Into a frenzy of rage. SUHJECT TO TitANCHS. " Hefore his first entire winter's sleep, Teller had passed thlough ttnnce-llke attacks of several day? duration, and 'those who knew him were thus In a measure prepared for it. Hut the case attracted widespread Interest among selentlllc men. many of whom went long distances to see for themselves and make a study of It. None of them ever had any great success In attempts nt effecting a cure, although the cata logue of known treatments for ctUa leptlcs seems to have been exhausted, and lu some cases the remedies adopt ed were of so heroic a uatuie as to be dteldedly disagreeable, at least to the members of Telfer's family If not to the unfortunate sleeper himself. About the end of August Telfer would go to bed aftei eating his evening meal as usual and without exhibiting any thing out of the common In his manner, or e.lving any reasot. for supposition that he was out of sorts In any way. On the following morning he would not get up, nor would be show any more vitality than u sleeping man. Twice in every twenty-four hours he would be taken up, a person supporting him on each side. About 11 o'clock every night beseemed to show wither more'llfc than at other times, and advantage was tak en of this to pour a little thin oatmeal gruel, beef tea or soup down his throat, he opened his lips to allow the attend ants to do so and slowly .swallowing it. He took a very little each time, and'lf urged to take more simply kept his mouth shut. About once in every thlr t days, during the evening generally, he would git up, but soon' would return to but. THK DOCTOR'S STORY. One of the physicians who had tried his hand with Teller's case a Dr. Rob ertson of Annapolis gives this account of his experience: "My llrst visit to Telfer wus about twenty years ago, when I first came to live and practice In Annapolis, and it came about In tins way. Of course, then was a talk about tin! new doctor and what he could do. So I was called to see this queer care. I got all the particulars from the triends and neigh bors, and what means hud been tried by other doctors, and then T promised to try what I could do. On the follow ing day I went again, accompanied by my brother, also a pnysictan. we toou with us a powerful galvanic battery. One of the handles wus placed in each of Telfer's hands and bound closely to the linger with wet bamuuves. W e put on the full power of the instrument. "Poor old Jack was out of bed in an Instant, and I shall never forget his look of astonishment and horror as he yelled out 'Damnation, what's that?' 1 can also well remember my own feel lug of satisfaction and complacency when the natives congratulated me on my success in this, my first case. t walked off as if saying to myself: 'I knew I could do It.' Well, Jack re mained awake about three days, and then I got a message that my patient was off again. 1 went up and tried the battel y a second time, with only the effect, however, of making him open his eyes nnd grunt out 'I3h,' in a querulous manner, and, after looking about him for u half hour or so, he lapsed into his former condition. Next day I tried the battery, but without the slightest effect, so I gave It up as a haul ease." A LO.N'f, NAP. Telfer's sleep usually lasted fioin September to .May. During the sum mer months lie did exactly the work he was told to do, but he hud to be told over again every day. although the work was the same day In and day out. The only thing he did without being told was to get his meals. He would talk quite rationally when spok en to, and distinctly recalled most of the incidents of his childhood. lie would hold unlimited confab, however, with the cows, dogs, trees, or any oth er object which happened In be In his way, and might be seen at times lec turing a tree for hours together, break ing out occasionally Into uproarious (its of lausrhter. rll HrllteiJy m s 'i:ttiWtissAi slIM fe2S 124-126 Wyoming Ava, Spring Silks, Spring Dress Goods.
