The studio was just around the corner
from the main business street in the
thriving western town where our story is
laid. A side street seems just the proper
place for a studio, quiet and secluded
from the noise and hustle OF the hurrying
Westerner but sufficiently central to be
accessible; but such was not the condi-
ton OF this side-street, where wagons
ratified over the asphalt pavement all
day long and the changing Of the bell on
the cable car added to the general confu
sion and made 1t seem just the place
where a studio should not be. 1t was

noon to Malcolm Eberhardt on the third
floor of the tall brick building and
seemed to break the peace and harmony
of the beautiful spring day, striking his
throbblng temples and aching head like
a blow. This has been an unusually try
ing day, circumstances and pupils have
seemingly conspiTed to make life a bur-
den. While he Is striding up and down
the floor in vain endeavorlng to ease
that aching brow and waiting the arri-
val OF the next pupil who is always late,
let us take o peep into the studio and at
the Professor. There is little ante
room through which you pass into long,
narrow room with low ceiling and many
windows Many rugs OF artistic designs
take the place Of carpet and there Is
not an inch Of wall space that Is not COW

Guitar" you can read on the neatly
printed sign which hangs just outside the
door. But to return to the appearance OF
things in the studio. OF course there Is
piano, and numerous other instruments
of lesser magnitude are scattered about,
while sheet music galore has fiuttered
from the stands to the floor giving
quite "musiciany" air to the room, and
imparting quite a foreign appearance.
And Malcolm Eberhardt in no way les

rich complexion and sparkling eyes he
looks much like handsome Italian and

he has but just "come over" But he Is
not an italian or German or anything

proud he is of the fact too even II the
path to glory Is a little hard in dear old
America. And those flushed cheeks
grow redder and redder; even the cool
breeze waited through the open window
fails to cool them, for he is thinking Of
his mornings work and its tribulations.
First there had been lesson to give the
Jones boy at nine o'clock. His loving
mother permitted him to be excused from

nervously waiting his arrival. His feel

FOR his club was the best in the city and
never failed to give enjoyment wherever
they played.
"Whew, boys, this has been a cracker
of day." said Eberhardt when he was
again out on the street.
why, didn't the young doves make
love to-day? Too bad, you ought to en-
courage them a trifle," answered Frank.
"Oh let up Hal, I'm tired of girls and
pupils i'm general" and Eberhardt gave
him poke in the back with his man

"Come in boys, let's have some soda
and smoke" said Harry, who played
the violin in the club, "this Is on me for
that break made in the Wedding
March," and Harry led the way into a
downtown drug store. And they jolly
well enjoyed the rest Of that evening,
Malcolm Eberhardt going home late too
tired to think of anything except that
he hoped tomorrow would not be an
other ill-starred day in the studio.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be con-
stiutiOnal disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constltu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses Of from 10 drops to
a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials. Address
