When the vessel reached quarantine the bright spot disengaged itself from a group of passengers and the 'peerless tenor stood revealed in all his splendor. Robust and in tine spirits Caruso re turned for the opening of the Metro politan season. He was not inclined to talk o t'the stage or to discuss his voice, but took delight in relating an experience he had this summer at his villa. Bellogarda, with chickens. "It was terrible," said the tenor. "My poor nerves. I had, you see. a number of choice fowls, so as an experiment I chose to raise and breed them. At first all was well, but soon they would awaken me mornings. "It was terrible. I coud not sleep. Day after day it continued until my nerves \yere worn to shreds. Just at daybreak they began, thus"— Here Caruso imitated loudly the crowing of the cocks, the cackling of the hens, separately and in chorus, to the delight of the ship's passengers. 'Finally I could stand it no longer," said the tenor, "I arose and took my revolver, I l°aned fro mthe window and tired. "Blooie, blooie! At each shot off came the head of a chicken."
