Pableta sat on the stairs and sang.
The songs that she sang were ditties
of the street, or songs that she heard
at the theaters where she and her
mother went as often as they could
afford. Pableta was eight years old,
but instead of the thin and piping
treble in which most children of that
age sing, she had a voice. Pableta's
mother, coming up the stairs with an
elderly man, paused to tilt back the
little pointed chin and kiss the child's
singing lips to silence. Pableta went
on up the stairs with her mother and
the man. In the sitting room of the
little fiat she sang again, presently,
and the man took her between his
knees and pushed the hair back. from
her brow and kissed her. "She has the
divine gift-the little one," he said.
"You really think that she will be
singer?" Pableta's mother asked
TREMENDOUSLY. And the great master
answered.: "She has the divine gift.
There is song bird in the little
throat" He laid his fingers softly on
Pableta's throat as he spoke. He gave
her mother many directions before he
went away-how to care for Pableta's
voice, when the training should begin,
how she must take care of the child's
health and keep her we'll and strong
to stand the strain that falls upon a
singer.
Pableta and her mother lived alone
in the little fiat. Of her father Pab-
leta seldom heard. Her father and
mother had first known each other at
a little lake resort in the north. Her
mother, who was only lonely girl,
was ION the STAGE" a disgrace i'll the
eyes of Pableta's fathers people, but
an added cause for infatuatiOn on the
part of the boy himself. He was the
son of southern planter and he mar
ried the little actress before the sum-
mer was over. But the marriage was
not a happy one and before Pableta
was born the two separated, each 60
ing their different ways. Pableta's
mother and Dick Worley were d.
vorced and the child was left with the
mother. The father was not anxious
to gain possession of the baby, the
mother was, for Pableta had become
the one tie that held Mary Worley to
life and the mother loved the baby
devotedly.
So Pableta grew up hearing little of
her father. Mary Morley liked to
think that the child belonged wholly
to her. And every penny of which
she stinted herself in order to give to
>Pableta, every sacrifice that she made
for the child's sake made the little
daughter dearer to her.
The day that Pableta sat on the
stairs and sang, when the great mas
ter had praised her voice was years in
the past and Pableta was grown. The
song bird in the slender throat sang
more sweetly than ever, for the years
had strengthened it, and careful train
ing under the best of teachers had
developed it and had taught
Pableta to use her gift wisely. And
tonight Pableta was to make her de-
but. Her mother was far more excited
over the event than was Pableta, for
the girl had grown up strong and
healthy, while the mother was old be-
fore her time.
The papers had been full of the an
nouncement of the young singers de-
but, and far away in his southern

and hustled off to a hospital and cut

This you may learn by reading Lon
den Lancet. But, of course, you won't
read it, for it is purely medical pub
lication. DR.. Pond writes for it.
He has discovered that in most
cases of appendicitis, including those
in which the operation is successful
but the patient dies, antimonial poi
soning is found. This he traces large
ly to the general use these latter days

In the child's life he did not stop to
think.
He came to the little fiat to see Pab:
leta and the mothers heart was sick
with fear. Just before she went upon
the stage to sing on the night of her
first appearance, he came to her Dress
ing room. "Pable;a," her mother was
pleading, latter you have sung for the
audience, if they call you back, as
know they will, will you sing a little
song for me? I want you to sing it
just for me, my darling. so that may
feel that I have some part in your tri.

NARROW ESCAPE

Angelo De Tullio, a we'll known con.
tractor Of this city, narrowly escaped
being ground to death under the
wheels of a Santa Fe switch engine
yesterday morning about $3.50 o'clock
at the Tijeras avenue crossing. says
the Citizen.
De "ullio and two companions, Le-
andre Dionisio and D. s. Bucklin,
were driving to the home of De Tullio
on North Arno street. In crossing the
tracks on Tijeras avenue, the men in
the buggy failed to see a rapidly ap-
preaching switch engine and before
they could get clear OF the track the
engine struck the buggy in which they
were riding with great force.
: The horse, buggy and men, with the
exception Of Mr.. De Tullio, were
thrown clear of the track. De Tullio
was not SO fortunate. He fell on the
running board Of the engine and his
clothes became entangled in a silver
on the board, which probably saved
his life, as 1t kept him from falling
beneath the wheels of the engine and
being ground to death. As 1t was he
was dragged a distance Of thirty OF
forty feet before the engine could be
brought to a stop.
The shock Of the collision and the
distance De Tullio was dragged bruis-
ed him considerably. nut beyond this
he sustained nc other serious injuries,
He was removed to his nome, where
he is under the care OF DR.. E. Osuna,
who reports him considerably improv'
ed this afternoon. with the chances in
favor Of his speedy recovery.
The other two occupants of the rig
e not injured beyond a severe
shaking up. The rig was only slight
ly damaged, the shafts being broken
! off. The horse also escaped without
a scratch.

One interesting fact Is this: Jose
