young womanhood it was found that
she had a sweet soprano voice which
promised great things Encouraged by
the best teachers of Richmond, Va,
where they lived, the mother spent
freely of her small fortune to have
the voice cultivated.
My voice is / fortune" said Mar
garet we must make it support us
in the future" She believed that with
it she would be able to climb the hard
but golden ladder which leads to sue
cess on the concert platform or the
operatio stage.
When Richmond's teachers had done
all they could for her Margaret and
her mother went to New York and
sought an engagement where there are
SO many places to be filled and SO
many singers to fill them.
She made the round of the agencies.
She called upon the persons to whom
she had letters of introduction. She
steeled her heart against many re-
Bluffs, which often made her weep on
her mothers breast, and refused to
take mo" for an answer She was
tried by the Castle Square manage
ment and was rejected. She tried to
get an audience with Mr. Grau and
failed. At last she got the promise
OF a chance to sing in a church in
New York in case the soprano soloist
should be taken i'll But she was
healthy girl who went through the
season without so much as suffering
from a cough" says Miss Sanders, who
can smile now over those dark days.
Meanwhile the little stock of money
was dwindling The New York music
master was eating up the dollars in
huge mouthfuls.
Mamma, said the young Virginian
one day, 4 am going to do something
desperate We will go to London, en-
gage the best singing teacher we can
find spend our last dollar if necessary
and command Dame Fortune to be
kind. Make or breaks the motto. If
! can't become a singer I'll turn kit
chenmaid." They went. In her pocket
were letters which Albert G. Smith, a
young business man OF New York city
and fellow pupil here had obtained
for her from influential people She
engaged for a teacher an ex impresario
OF note in London. who brought out
the latent possibilities of her voice
wonderfully, and soon secured profit
able concert engagements for her. Mr.
Smith went to Europe last spring. He
met Miss Sanders at the home of a
friend in Kensington She thanked
him for the help that he had given her,
and told him that her professional flu
ture was assured She sang several
times that evening, and Mr. Smith lis
tening to the new notes which had
been discovered in the liquid voice,
grew strangely jealous of the public.
This story ends as all good love stories
should. But not until Mr.. Smith had
come back to this country and spent a
summer in the Adirondacks did the
answer come to the question which he
had asked the sweet Virginian in Lon
don city. They will be married in the
spring.

RINEHART'S INDIAN PICTURES.

In the summer of 1898 the Govern
ment Indian Bureau invited all tribes
Of Indians in this country to send dele
gates to an Indian Congress, and they
gathered from far and near with their
ponies and tepees and gaudiest trap
pings in the Exposition Grounds at
Omaha. Never before had there been
and never again will there be such a
gathering. There were about five hun
dred of them, some partly civilized but
the greater portion picturesque In
original savagery. Strange as 1t may
seem at this late day many of the In
dams declared that before coming to
Omaha they had no idea what multi
tudes of white men there were or how
hopeless it was to try to stand against
them. Fhis was probably the last time
that SO complete and spectacular
view OF the North American Indian
will be possible and those who had the
privilege of witnessing 1t are to be
counted fortunate. At the time of tho
Indian Congress prominent pho
tographer obtained permission to take
the photographs OF the most noted
chiefs present and succeeded N obtain
ing a collection which never will be
equaled. Mr., Rinehart, the photograph
er, copyrighted all these pictures and
placed in a few art stores some hand
colored proofs which, Notwithstanding
their high price, sold at once, and these
Indian pictures have become the fad of
the year. The Chicago Great Western
Railway has succeeded at large expense
in obtaining from Mr.. Rinehart the
privilege of reproducing the best four
of these pictures, Chiefs Wolf Robe"
'Louison," Hollow Horn Bear" and
Hattie Tom" and have incorporated
them in an art calendar for 1900, which
is pronounced the most artistic produc-
ton yet attempted. The heads are
6x8 inches, one on sheet, wonderfully
reproduced in all their original colors,
and when framed make most striking
and effective pictures particularly
suited for holiday gifts. Owing to the
expense but a very small edition has
been issued They will be sent, how
ever, while the supply lasts to any per-
son sending % cents in stamps or silver
to cover the royalty charges and the
expense of packing and mailing to r.

The Baltimore and Ohio South
Western Rail Road placed in service
several months ago five large ten
wheel compound passenger engines for
use on fast trains between Cincinnati

these engines has been eminently sat

engines which provide ample power
for the entire line in addition to what

engines were an experiment but hard

simple engines of the same type. Elk.

The tired head weakly nodded
She was a slender girl of perhaps
a dozen years. Her features were prom

tightly back from her face, and this
emphasized the sharpness of her fea-

neatly dressed and under one arm

Her breath was coming back now,
