THE STORY-TELLER.

PAGANINI’S OLD SABOT.

(Concluded)

Paganini’s labor was rewarded. He gave the old shoe a soul, and the world was to hear the result.

Soon blue bills, placarded on the walls of the Villa Lutsetiana, and liberally dis tributed all over Paris, announced to the •world that a concert would be given in the large saloon of the villa on Hew Year’s Eve, at which Hicolo Paganini would make his first appearance after his serious indisposition. The popular artist promised to play ten pieces, five upon an ordinary violin and five upon a wooden shoe. The price of admission was fixed as,high as twenty francs a head, but it was added that the proceeds would be de voted to a charitable purpose. The good news of Paganini’s recovery and speedy reappearance spread like wild fire in Paris. For three months past hardly a soul in Paris knew what had be come of the illustrious artist. The whole musical world indulged in transports of joy, and it is needless to add that a few hours after the announcement appeared, not a ticket for the concert was to be had for love or money. Paganini had given strict injunctions that only a certain num ber were to be sold. The largest theatre in Paris could have been filled over and over again, but he had set his heart on playing in the Villa Lutsetitiana. There was an element of what we should call “sensation ” about the whole freak of the artist. A concert in an elegant establishment like this villa, given by one of the most distinguished of all artists after, a three months’ absence— variations first upon a violin, and then upon a shoe —these were the items of gossip discussed over and over again until the long looked-for Hew Year’s Eve came at last.

The carriages of all the notabilities in Paris thronged the gates of the Villa Lutsetitiana, and amidst a hush of breath less excitement Paganini, violin in hand, made his appearance in the room.

There was not a trace of his recent ill ness left. He looked as young again as when he isolated himself from the world. With one bright smile at the recognition he received, and with but little preface, he dashed at once into a brilliant fantasia, and, quite lost in the fury of his art, he literally intoxicated his audience with his magic power. “He cannot impvove that,” they said. “ He never played better in his life.” Prepared, however, for any prodigies of skill from one who had previously done what no living man had accomplished on the violin, the dilettanti waited in an agony of excitement for the variations on the “sabot.”

After a short interval Paganini reap peared with the treasure in his hand. A silence that was almost terrible, and then from the new instrument poured forth sounds so sweet as to draw tears from the eyes of almost every one in the room. Tfee artist seemed to be carried away by the excitement he was causing, and put his whole soul and grand intelligence into the musical drama he was reciting. There could not be a doubt about its meaning. It was the return of the conscript. There was the roll of the drums, the excitement of military life, the pang of pain at the soldier leaving liis companions, the loneli ness Of the journey, the approach to home, the meeting of the lovers, the tears of joy and ecstacy of indissoluble happi ness.

A burst of wild greeted the last'almost superhuman effort. Again and again did the villa, ring with the ex cited cheers of the audience. The ladies flung their bouquets at the artist’s feet, and the men rushed up to him and seized him by the hand. Even the four old ladies who had com posed a certain whist party to which allu sion has before been made, could not refrain from the general excitement which was around them. “It is simply magnifi cent,” [they Baid ; “we should not have judged him so harshly. He must have a good heart. ” Up in the corner of the saloon, half hidden by a curtain, stood a simple little girl. She was crying as if her heart would break. It was Louisette.

The drains of the conscripts return had gone straight to her heart. The concert was a magnificent success, and when it was over they totalled the receipts. They amounted to two thousand francs. And then Paganini called Louisette to his side.

“ My little friend,” said he, “ we have been lucky enough to obtain five hundred francs more than was required to obtain a substitute for Henri. Take all the mo ney. What is over will do to defray Henri’s expenses on his way home.” . Louisette could not keep back the tears which came welling to her eyes. But Paganini took her kindly by the hand, and said—

(C You have been an affectionate and faithful little hand maid to me, and you too must have your reward. I will give you something to start life with. This old shoe—perhaps you will like to call it violin now- —is yours ; I always intended that it should belong to you. You can dispose of it how you think fit, and I can not help thinking that it will realise suffi cient to give you a handsome dowry.” Paganini, was quite right. A wealthy Parisian amateur purchased the instru ment of her, and the price he paid was six thousand francs.

And so Louisette got back her lover from the wars through the instrumentality of Nicolo Paganini. The kind part this famous violinist played in the matter must ever redound to his advantage how ever much it may be considered “An Artist’s Freak. ” CONCLUDED.
