Stranded, pennilefss, this once-soshy youth, made hold by desperla? tion, strode into the office of Fisk and "asked For-the head of Klip nnlsic de- j ? partment.

Robinson, a lump in her throat, . her eyes bright with--?unshed tears, motioned for another song,- The nlaintive mglodv oPT'SteWf away to Jesus" /illed the little room with all the pathos of an alien iWe?in?a__ strange land. Roland Hayes, through the irr$rre of his golden voice, won permission to stay at Fisk temporarily, A month's trial proved .nnn to ne a worker as well 'as a singer. The ^nonth lengthened into four years?years packed Svilh~'1uml work and faithful study; with study not only of music, ? but also ot literature; wntii -worn?oh-: all kinds; his regular job of wart rng on the tables being supplemented by any odd tasks that came to Ivand. engagement offered.

' . ' But his way did not at onee become smooth. For three years business by day alternated with concerts by night.: Then musical critics began to hint at the necessity, of "European prestige." Undaunted', the^young. singei went to London and took the last of his savings to reqt. a hall.

He wag sumnioiied- to JLiekinglnun Palace to sing for King Georgts^and jueen Mary. What came after thgt^ all the world knows. Roland Hayes captured the musical circles of Europe and won for himself fame and a fortune great wTiousTi, to permit him to indulge in his lone-cherished wish to help aspiring boys oi his own race. Not the leant of his happiness came Irom )n.mother's pride in his achievements" For w-hen she read the account of how 1>e, her shy little country Lad, had . sung.-without a tremdr before royalty, njer last vestige of prejudice against the "singin' perfession" Vanished.
