I HIS LITTLE I
MASCOT
By BELLE MANIATES
Copuriffht, J904, l>u IUUe Maniatet
Bradley paused at the door of Miss
Kane's studio, listened a moment to
the sound of smoothly Struck chords
and then gave an apologetic knock.
The music censed*- and the door was
opened hy Miss Kane, teacher of vocal
music.
"You know better," she ?snld forbiddingly.
_
"Yes," he said with penitent air, "but
I am not n visitor. I came on professional
business, really," and walked on
Into the room."
"Do you want your voice tried?" she
asked sarcastically.
"No, I don't want you to score another
point against me, but I called to
see you In regard to your pupil, the
little girl Pntti. 1 understand she is
to make her debut at the charity concert
tomorrow night. 1 want to write
her up." f
"Oh!" she exclaimed, Interested, bxit
still skeptical. "And since when did the
city editor himself take to writing 'In
a Minor Strain' column?"
"Miss Fleming Is ill," he replied,
"and we are all helping her out. I
volunteered to take this part of her
work. I thought, Miss lvano," he said
earnestly, "that It would he to your
advantage and to that of the child to
get satisfactory press notices, and I
will write whatever you wish."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Brad- j
ley," she replied, her little air of reserve
melting for the once. "I shall }
he very glad if you will do so."
"Now, what kind of a voleo lias j
she?"
"High soprano. Iler voice is perfect- i
ly placed. When I discovered her pure j
tones?I heard her first in a school?I j
had her come to the studio. I sounded !
low C on the piano and asked her to
sing the note. She did, with perfect j
attack and pitch. Then she kept on :
with the successive tones and half ;
tones until we came to It flat. I he- i
gan to tremble, for there begins the :
middle register, the stumbling block of
nearly all singers, but the right quality ;
came into her voice?that imperceptible i
shading of the chest tones as they J
emerge into tllb smooth waters of the
soprano's realm. The tones kept coming
clearly, sweetly and with a silvery
ring until I didn't dare take her any
further."
"I suppose it's all right," said Bradley.
with a perplexed sigh, "but it's all
tlreek to me. If her voice was perfect j
by nnture why are you giving her les- .
BOIVS?"
"1 "r-'rVt '-v>v str<VMf?>r "v' '
more flexible; have taught 1km- phrasing
and enunciation."
"I think you had better write a little
sketch of her personality and voice and
I will publish it."
There came a light rap at the door,
and a slender little wisp of a girl with
big brown eyes and golden hair came
Into the studio. j
"This, Mr. Hrndley, is my little song
bird, Louise Ilarvey."
Itradley was very fond of children,
lie* shook hands with the little song- |
stress and. turning to Miss Kane, said: |
"Is it possible that this microscopic !
child can sing so gloriously as I have
heard it intimatedV"
The little girl drew herself tip with ,
a suspicion of hauteur.
"I am in my teens!" she protested.
"That does give one an old feeling,"
he said, with a laugh. "I haven't forgotten
the llrst day I could say so
proudly, 'I am in my teens.' "
"Have you been out of them long?"
Miss Kane could not forbear asking.
The bright eyes of Iyouise sparkled
ndtl. .tifftli
1U11> U Hill 111.
"Miss Louise, yon mustn't mnke fun
of me. I have the power to make or
mar public personages. I am going
to put your picture in the paper tonight,
and (he day after tomorrow I
shall tell how well you can sing."
"Thank you." said the little girl simply.
"Hut I must grt now. I came to
return this music, Miss Kane."
"I will go with you," said Itradley.
"We will stop nt the florist's and order
some llowers for you to carry at
the concert."
Ixmlse flushed with pleasure as she
left the room In company with Hrndley.
"I like Miss Kane. She Is lovely to
me," she confided when they were out
on the street.
"I wish she would bo lovely to me,"
he said ruefully.
"Is she mad at you?" asked Loulso
Ingenuously.
"Yes, music mad. Hut unfortunately
I can only appreciate music from a ragtime
standpoint, so I can't creep into
the circle of devotees Miss Kane draws
around herself." r
"Why don't you Jump, in?" asked
l-onise. -
lie stopped abruptly nnd looked reflectively
nt her.
' That's n very good Idea, Miss Louise.
Thank you." ^
When they readied the florist's nnd
Louise had selected the rows he was
to send to her on the morrow, dradley
said:
"Now I will make my first Jump
nnd send Miss Kane some roaes too."
"Send her violets," replied the little
girl earnestly. "They are her favorite
flower."
"Thank you again, Mlas Louise. You
are certainly my mascot."
lie ordered n huge bunch of violets
to be sent to Miss Kane on the evonIng
following And left his card to accompany
them.
When Beryl Kane was dressing for
the concert a box from the florist's
was brought to her. A little thrill of
pleasure went through lier as she lifted ***'
the cover and saw the violets; another
when she read the card.
"I thought," she mused, "that he held
me In disdain as 'one of that musical din
crowd' who nro so uninteresting to tri'
him. He addresses such curt, eyuicul tlo
remarks to me when we meet. I al- the
ways begin to get a retort ready as ac<
Boon as I see him approach. rVonder ?
how ho came to send me these! I sup- j^n
pose because he was giving Lou some."
She sighed as she finished her toilet. cu<
Iler carriage stopped nt the home of a '
her little pupil, ami Louise, radiant **
with excitement and pleasure, came su'
out, carrying her roses. mn
"You got the violets Mr. Bradley sent
you, didn't you?" asked the young girl *8
ns she took her seat beside Miss Kane.
"I must tell you what he said about
you. lie said you were music mail 's
and you didn't care for him because ho ^or
wasn't musical and he could never, get cn<
Into your circle, and I told him to jump Pn
In." lns
Beryl listened to this voluble confldonee
with the feeling that she ought wa
to check or reprove the little tnle bear- Pr<
er, but she didn't. She felt still another
little thrill and thought what a
lovely night it was. If only Louise a
would do her best!
Louise did. She ennie out upon the 818
stage clad In the white robes of u 11
chorister, her fair childish face brilliant ^ 8
with excitement and expectancy. Ilor
eager, searching eyes caught sight of pei
Bradley in one of the boxes. She flush- 8's
ed happily while the dimples came and nel
went. The prelude to her number ended,
Bradley, the crowd, every one, van- ^
Ished from her thoughts. She forgot ^
herself in the grand music of the "Ave *
Maria," and she surpassed in its delivery
the highest hopes of her teacher.
Then followed a wild ecstasy of np- |u
plausc from an enthusiastic audience, |ni
and she reappeared, this time attired *
in a pretty white frock. She sang
"Home, Sweet Home," into the hearts nni
of her hearers. Applause, calls, recalls n8>
and flowers followed.
When the excitement had subsided ?
and the next number was on Bradley J4
found his way behind the scenes.
"Miss Louise," he said, bowing low j cn'
to the happy little girl, "when you are 041
a great prima donna don't forgot that g *
I gave you your lirst flowers."
"May I thank you for my violets?" .
said a soft voice behind him. :
lie turned, and ids face glowed with Tl1
pleasure when he saw Miss Kane was
carrying his flowers, lie noted how *
happy she looked, but attributed the nis
fact to the success her pupil had nn
_ ? oil
scored.
"Even I know that .Miss Louise made
a lilt. Every one Is wild over her sing- ex
lug, nnd they say she is tlie perfect ex- tlj<
ponent of your teaching." nei
"Then my ambition Is satisfied mu- an
slcnlly," she replied. "I wanted to he UP
recognized as a successful teacher." to?
"And have yo\i any ambitious other BUI
than nv'slcV" , . ... .
"Why, of coarse," she laughed. "Mu- "n
sic is only a part of my life." tin
"Every one lias an aim," said Louise ,n<
precociously. "Mine is to he a prima cni
donna, Miss Kane's to lie a teacher, tin
What Is yours, Mr. Bradley?" tin
"To make a scoop," replied Beryl. Wf
"That Is only a 'part of my life,' " lie
quoted. "I have another, n great aim en
and hope." let'
"What Is It?" asked Louise artlessly.
"I am going to toll Miss Kane some P'1
time If she will let me. Then I will tell in
you." 1
Some one called Louise away Just
then. th<
"May I come nnd see you soon?to- eal
morrow night?Miss Kane?" he asked fn;
In vibrant voice. In*
"Yes," she replied softly, screening 'at
her face with the violets. su]
"I always thought you were bored ?tl
by people who were not musical," lie a '
said. ga
"And I always thought," she retort- rel
eu, ' uiai you wore Dored by people a 1
who were musical." 1'?
"You were mistaken." ?(
"So were you."
Louise ran to them.
"Our carriage is here. Miss Kaue. ^
Are we going home now?" i
"Certainly not," replied Bradley
quickly. "Prima donnas always have a 1 ,nti
supper after they sing. I am going to be]

PROFESSIONAL EATERS. <
tllnna Employ Snbatltntea to Conanme
Pood KOr Thom.
)ne of the most striking customs of
> past that nrc preserved l?y the Inins
of today Is found among the (
bos 011 the Devils Lake reservnn
In North Dakota. An official of
s Indian service gives the following
:oinit of this peculiar practice:
'From time immemorial the Devil's ,
ke Sioux have adhered to an old
stom in regard to the treatment of
;uest. According to their etiquette, 1
is the bounden duty of the host to
;>ply his guest with all the food he
iy desire, and as a rule the appornment
set before the visiting Indian
much in excess of the capacity of a
gle man.
But by the same custom the guest
obliged to eat all that is placed bee
him, else he grossly insults his
tertniner. It was found that this
ictice would work a hardship, but
itead of dispensingVwitli the cusn
the Indian metlicH of reasoning
s applied, and what la known as the
ifesslonal eater was Brought to the
'lit. ft.
While the guest is supposed, to eat
that is placed befor^him, It serves
> same purpose if hjw^ielghbor asts
in devouring the bountiful repast,
i main object ^elngj to have the
ite clean when the meal Js tlnlslied.
It is not always practicable to deal
upon a neighbor at table to ast
in getting away with-a large dlur,
and in order to insure the final
lsumptlon of the allotted portion
iting Indians call upon tnese proisionnl
enters, whose duty It Is to
beside them through a meal and
I what the guest leaves. The proisional
eaters are never looked upon
the light of guests, but more as
iveling companions with ji pnrtlcuduty
to perform.
'These eaters receive from $1. to $2
d even $3 for each meal where they
dst. It is stated by the agent of
> Devil's Lake reservation that one
the professional eaters has been
own to dispose of seventeen pounds
beef at a silting. That they are
pable of eating an almost fabulous

NEW ZEALAND GEYSERS.
Among Tbem In Sftlil to He the lllg.
gent Spontor In the World.
Yellowstone park Is repjted to have m
the inest magnificent geysers in the g]
world, but tlieir reputation is based
upon the statements of travelers who
have never been to New Zealand and ei
who know nothing of its natural won- si
dcrs. *
leaving Aucklrtpd by a fast; express
train, a Journey. of eight hours brings
one to Rotorua, where may he seen the
most splendid geyser which is probably
to bo found anywhere in the world.
To give one some idea of the magnitude
of the geyser I need*mention only
the height of some of the surrounding
objects. Over the "Inferno crater,"
which contains a Booth intake of wa- 4.
ter, is a small shelter shed 450 feeJL 5
above the plain. The surface of -tire*
water ill the geyser basin when at
rest^lO- about forty feet below this
plalA ^i'lje height of the eruption ^
niusr often be about 000 feet. This j,
is by no means exceptional. Higher
"shots" have been recorded. I liavo
myself seen a shot computed at 1,200 ^
feet. Some months ago the area of B1
the basin was measured in a small 0
boat by a Mr. Buckorldge and a guide.
They found that the area Is about two
and a .half acres, from which it may tl
be Inferred that this geyser may well tl
be called the largest in the world.
The geyseryplays about twenty-two
times each mQqth, is very erratic and d,
gives no wnmiug when it Is about to p,
erupt. The.jfehcorv Is advanced that
the basin 1* RoSawlia? like a funnel

are ejected thtrfljjfcer stones ruUtitiffl "f

fanciful, '
Tills geyser is not'tfie only one to 0
