$50 IKOKO
BY n. n. HUDSON.

| He loved, music and his fellowman.
His mind had ever been thrilled with
strange and unaccountable melodies.
He wanted the world TO catch the
music which echoed In his soul. He
had hoped TO do this himself There
was wealth at his command, but this
was not enough. While he had train
ed under the best instructors, and his
dreams seemed about To be realized,
there had come the disappointment.
His vocal cords had become paralyzed.
The specialists gave him up. He
could never became a world renowned
tenor.
Despair and disappointment had re-
suited in q nervous breakdown. His
doctor had advised travel. Perhaps
wise providence had guided the stu
dents STEPS to Africa. He would soon
know the worst, for he had invested in
other talent. Patiently and secretly
he had carried on his work until the
bill-boards had at last announced that
Ikoko. the greatest OF all tenors was
to appear h New York.
IL was n trying moment for Sidney
Carter. III Ikoko failed. the disap-
pointmerh would be hard to endure.
He had spent much money on the ven
ture. IsoS number was the next on
the program. The audience was Gag
er. They expected something. They
did not even know how the tenor
would look. AS the Kongo youth
stepped fsom behind the curtain there
was a ripple OF laughter Ikoko smil-
ed, and his ivory teeth were as white
as the collar he wore. II was all like
a joke. There was the slanting fore
head. the thick lips. and fat nostrils.
Could this specimen be a musical
prodigy?
Ikoko didn't notice the audience.
This w9S the great occasion for which
he had 30 long trained. He tried to
forget ohe sea of faces. He imagined
that he was again among his people
by the Kongo. He would think OF
them and the friend who had done so
much DIR him. He waited a moment.
The great theater was as silent as
though 1t contained not a living soul
Then the hush was broken. The audi
ence suddenly beheld a black athlete

and power The effect of the singing
