NCH upon a time there was a
youth who lay looking up at
the fleecy white clouds In a
blue sky in the land of Fancy,
when all of a sudden he felt
a most delicious sensation
upon his ears. JIo lay perfectly still
a moment, thinking It was a light
breeze, but soon ho felt It again. It
was a most unusual sensation. It was
warm, and cool at tho Bame time, dainty
yet firm. Inspiring aud yet barely sug
gestive of action, and withal so delightful
that the youth sat up amazed and looked
about him. Behind him to the left there
stood a handsome young man, smiling at
him. His dress waa very up-to-date and
he carried In his hand a most peculiar
Blender stick, almost like a wand, and
capped with a small soft tuft of some
thing that was full of bright colors and
yet not In the least bright Itself. He was
just about to touch the lad's ears with
this for the third time when he glanced
round and saw him.
"How do you do," said the stranger; "I
Sid not think you woro going to turn
round quite so coon."
"Who are your asked the boy, "and
what Is that little rod you ara carrylngT"
"111 tell you who I am and all about
ft. If you will do the same by me."
"Agreed?1 replied the boy; "I am
Everystudent"
"My name Is Opportunity," said the
young man." "You did not know when
you walked so far from home and threw
yourself down to rest upon this hill, that
you had crossed the borderland and en
tered the realm of Music, did you? You
are now In his kingdom and I am one of
his loyal subjects."
"Who Is MusloT And wh,at about tho
ItlckT"
"Musto Is a great king that lives high
BP on yonder mountain top. In a beautiful
eastle called Success. He has a beautiful
(laughter named Fame, and whoever
reaches Success may win Fame for a
bride. This wand Is a souvenir given to
nil loyal subjects of the king that have
ever been to the castle, and It Is on in
strument by means of which I can give
you that uplifting and yet Indefinable
sensation In the ears, ft Is called Tech
nical Ability and the stuff you felt was
the Expression. Fame sent me out, say
ing 'Seek Everystudent, tell him I love
Mm and wont him' to come and win me.
Give him Musical Knowledge, our best
guide, and have him start without delay,'
When you have your guide, cling to him
closely or you will never pass success
fully over Technical Trail nor through
the maglo gardens, in any of which you
may wander after having been to the
tastle, but not before."
At this the young man waved his wand
swd Musical Knowledge appoared, a
merry little rogue. Who dodged several
times before Everystudent could put his
hands upon him. and even then, when
tho youth did not look, he would slip
.way from him. In order to make Every
Btudent catch him. "Now I've got you
tost; stay where you are!" commanded
Everystudent, sternly, and soon they
Started out. Opporunlty waving at them
Until they were out of sight.
That the Journey waa hazardous was
oon evident, for even over the first few
miles of It there were many obstacles,
end Everystudent, though very anxious
to press forward, could not go far with
out fatigue. They often rested, and had
it not been for the hand of Musical
Knowledge, Everystudent would have
fallen over many a steep bank. Soon
they came to a great swamp, from which
many foul odors were rising. "That Is
the swamp of Don't Practice, where a
great many who start on the Journey
Ink," said Musical Knowledge, as they
paused a moment. Everystudent looked
at Its sickly green surface and clung the
closer to his guide. Let's go on
quickly." he said. 'Trn afraid I'll sink,
too." Many days they traveled, Every
student bearing up much better than
Musical Knowledge had dreamed possi
ble. In fact, he had become quite at
tached to the bright-faced lad. and it
vraa no longer necessary for the youth
to keep a vigilant eye upon his mischiev
ous guide.
They passed three lovely meadows.
one, "Finger as you please;" the next,
"Play whatever note you like," and the
largest, "Any old phrasing.' in pass
ing the last one It waa necessary for
Everystudent to ding firmly to Musical
Knowledge in order not to delay there.
"We are now approaching one of the
gardens," said Musical Knowledge. "It
la known as "Play by Ear," and there
are many beautiful melodies there,
clothed in most fascinating garments.
(They are the servants of the king's sub
jects that have been to the palace, but,
where people like you are concerned.
they are unprincipled sisters of the
Lovelier, and they will call out and try
to lead you away from the technical
trail and me."
Shey were soon there aad the girls ciui

and Musicians
tered about tho new prey, singing and
calling nnd oven trying to pry his hand
out of tho clasp with Musical Knowl
edge For hourn they strutted forward
step by step, balked by tho crowd of
laughing, singing maidens. Once more
on Technical Trail, EveryBtudont was
so exhausted that moro than onco ho
tried to turn back, but his liking for
Musical Knowledge hold him on.
Many days passed and they came to
another garden, called, "The Garden of
Technical Neglect" Hero a crowd of
merry people were about to sit dqwn to
a feast of viands and rich foods that
looked enticing to the weary travelers,
who were Invited to partake. Every
student was about to Join them, but was
held back by Musical Knowledge.
"Tou are not ready for these rich foods
yet; you cannqt digest them. Here dwell
the peoQlo who try to do what ihey have
not the ability for and make themselves
ridiculous. Look at their food. It is
good of Itself, but poorly prepared. They
will all be sick. Even one who possesses
a wand dare not stay In this irarden
without feeling Its enervating effect.
From here there is a direct slido to the
'Swapm of Didn't Practice,' " and in spite
of himself Everystudent was led onward,
although he struggled to get some of the
food.-
"What is the next gardonT- ho asked
after they were safely by.
"Oh, that Is the Garden of Popular
Music, which I fear the most." cold
Musical Knowledge. "Popular Musto Is
an unscrupulous princess, who holds a
sort of court, where she makes It so
lively that many are detained from fur
ther progress. In the eyes of those that
know Muslo and Fame she usually ap
pears shallow and uninteresting, but to
those who do not she is very attractive."
When they entered this a delegation of
the best people met them and led them
to a restful nook. As they went along
Everystudent noticed how many colored
people, Italians and Indians there were
on tho street. They all seemed poor
and were dressed In rags, although here
and there a sweet, refined person might
bo found.
"Hang tight to me or you will fall
under the spell of Popular Muslo and her
handmaiden. Syncopation. She will turn
you from Fame, if possible, and when
you are tired of her and her bold, reck
less, sometimes indecent, court, you can
not get away."
When they reached the court. Every
student cast one admiring look at Popu
lar music's dashing appearance and suo
cumDea. with a mighty wrench he
pulled himself free from Musical Khowl
edge.
"I go no further," he cried. "Tell Fame
a bird in the hand suits me. I shall wed
Popular Muslol"
"Think well," said Musical Knowledge.
"Tho time will come when you will noed
and long for me, and you will not hayo
me ana Fame, the most beautiful of all,
awaits you."
"Oh, I'm tired of thinking and climbing
over rocks. I am content."
Poor Musical Knowledge, defeated,
sought a secluded spot in which to rest
over night before going on alone. Scarcely
was it dark whtn he heard a youth's
voice calling, "Musical Knowledge, I
want to go onl"
"I thought you would come back, but
not so soon," he answered, Joyfully,
"Lot us go right on now," said the
youth, eagerly
"In the dark?" asked Musical Knowt-

had
"Yes, ycsl" came the answer, and they
started.
"We cannot talk much," said Musical
Knowledge, tersely. "Wo must scale the
aides of many canyons and follow many
a fugue's flight"
All tho night they climbed, and the
guide marveled at the lad's swiftness and
endurance, for never had they gouo so
fast before, and by morning they were
in sight of the castle of Success, and
soon in the presence of Varna.
She gave one joyous glance nt the lad
and started forward, stopped, stared and
turned to Musical Knowleddre In dis
may. "Now see what you've dono," she
cried. "This is not Bverystudsnt you
have brought me. This Is not tho one J
love. I want Everystudent!" and she
burst into tears. The guide looked and
saw it was true.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"I am Tho Exceptional Student be
causo Syncopation could not win me In
the Garden of Popular Muslo sho ran
off with my guide Industry and I did
not know how to go on. When I saw
Evorystudont cast you off I determined
to ask your guidance and hero I am."
"Did he do that?" aeked the slrl.
"Then Everystudent was not worthy to
win Fame."
She looked again at the well developed
youth In front of her and with a glad
cry opened her arms.
Several years aftorward, when riding-
in an .automobile through the outskirts
of the realm of Musto they came upon
a 'little moving picture, and as a storm
was. approaching they took shelter within
where a man was seated beating the
piano.
"Do you know the musician?" said Tlw
Exceptional Student
"Decidedly not" said Fame.
'That Is Everystudent who dropped
Musical Knowledge in the Garden of
Popular Muslo."

The twentieth annual meeting of tho

held at the Poxton hotel Wednesday.

eral plans and purposes of the society for

The report of the state superintendent
Rev, E. P. Qulvey, showed that the work
of the society was going forward in a
highly satisfactory manner.
The society voted to approve the amend
ment to the constitution and bylawa of the

amendment consisted In inserting "Na
tional" in the name of the society, the
society having hitherto been national in
character but not in name.
The following resolution was offered by
Dr. Nathaniel McGttfln and unanimously
adopted by a rising vote:
"That this association vote its highest1
appreciation of the loving and devoted
service of Mrs. E. P. Qulvey, who for
twenty years has spent so much time and
sympathy for the homeless children of our
state, and that we live In hopeful expec
tation of her continued and loving In
terest In this great and needful service,
which the Nebraska Children's home so
ciety Is giving for the kingdom of the
children's Christ."

responded and told some of her expert
ences during her twenty years of field
work for this society.
The election resulted in the selection of
the following board of trustees for tho
ensuing year: Hon. IL H. Baldrlge, Rev,

that you will never see a picture that you

He's a youngster who surely qualifies to
como under the head of "juvenile prodi
gies" and although he has been heard
at numerous prlvato funotlons and pos
sibly at one or two of the suburban pic
ture shows, not until today has he had
an opportunity of being heard in a regu
lar theater. Manager Johnson has Im
ported him direct from the north side of
the city and says the youngster will
ouroly "put It over" every tlmo he sings.
His name is much longer than ho Is tall

in conneotlon with tho unsurpassed dis
play of movies which, in their perfect

interesting features booked to comprise
today's btg program Is none other than
another wonderful "101 Btsoh" two-reel
production, "The Northern Spy," a thrill
ing, hlghty dramatlo story, containing
enough action and pulso quickening epi
sodes to supply half a dozen melodramas
of the now extinct type. Hundreds upon
hundreds of horses and men nro employed
in tho story, to say nothing of a pretty
love tola being Interwoven. And Cyro
will sing, too. The entertainment is con
tinuous from noon to 11 p. n.
