A Chatham Miracle

(Chatham Plauet.) In a Raleigh street residence there lives with wife and one child - a little ten-year-old daughter - a musieian known throughout Ontario, if not thO vhole Dominion, as a prince among pianiste, organista and choir ma stens - a veritable maestro and "Wizaa-d of the Ivory Keys," aad no one vfho has ever listened to his m.anipulation of the great organ in the Park Street Muithod'ist church, or heard hiiin evoke ■niairic music's mystic melody" fram the maguificent Decker Gra.nd in hte on di'a.wing room but wiU declare that his eminence ie well deservt'd, and li is peera can be Jrat fey a.ntoiiíí the professois oí DiTine Art.

But sentimental moods fimally vanisli and leave one facing the eajber and practical side of Ufe. The music ceawed and the conversa t ion took a turn leading to the real object of the reporter's cali. "There are storie abroad," said the newspaper man. "regarding gome extra-ordimary deliverance iroia death, whith jku have met with recently, dlojíor. TVcmld you object to stating what íoundlaftion there is for them, and, if any, fuirnisli me with the true Saots flor publication." Dr. Verrinder shrugged his ehioulders ainl laughed. "I liaxe not," he replied, "been given to eeking newspaper notoriety, and at íifty-five yeare oí aige it is mot likely I filiall beig-in, and yet," eaid the processor after think ng a moment and consuíling M.rs. Verrinder, "perhíips it is best tliat I sliould grive you the eireuTOstances for use in The PlanT et. The etO'ry oí my rescue f rom the grave might fittinigly be prefaced by a little of my early hisitory. We resided in Enjíland, -niiere though I wías a; professor of muísic, I was not dependent on my art, tus I had aequired a competence. My wife was an hieiress, having L50,000 in her own right. Through the rascality of a broker she was robbed alniost of all hier fortuine, wliile by the lïank of Glasgow toiluire, my money vanished forever. It became necessary for me then to retuTn to iny profession in ordie-r to liv-e. I do not wpeak of it boa.stimgly, but I tood wéü a.mong the mmsicians of that dey in the oíd land. My teee were a guinea a Íesson, and it was no uncominon thing for me to p,ive twenty ín a day. e carne to America, landing in Quebec ■vhere I anticipated getting an en gagement as oilganislt in the cathed ral, "but I was disappointed. Sub sequently we moved to St. Catha riiifis, in whfch city I procured an organ and choir and soon had a large clientèle. Later, in order as I thouftht to bertter my fortune, I took up mj residente Ín Iondon, Hwrt iillintr ai (mu'agvímcnt with a Mi'tlindist ohurch and aft-erwardtj aeeeptinff the posi tion of organist in St. Peter's Ca thedral. ín those clttes I made manj wanm fricndw, and their tributes ant gifts I tdiall e'r retain as amonK the most predoue of my possessions [t was while livins in Ijondon and Hirsuiníí my art with mnch earnest iv-s and labor that I recelved a stroke oí jparalysiis. Perhaps," - here the speaker rose and stretcning himelf to his full height, thus displayng liis well-built and well-nourished ráme - "I do not look like a p&ralytic. But the truth I have hati t'hi-ee etrotes- yes, sir, íirst. seconc and third. and they say the third s fatal, ninety-nine tinww out of one miMli-ed.
