It was Hapgood of the Musical Review, who had told him about the camp in the Adiron- dacks that would simply breathe into his listening ear all the melodies and shy whisperings that any music lover needed. It took Colgate less than a week to make all preparation and locate him- selt among the songs of the moun- tain’s glory. He moved about as a man in a dream.

LITTLE FIRST FOOT By MOLLY M'MASTER. “lost” very long. (Copyright, 1915, by the McClure Newspa- paper Syndicate.) | Upon the first morning of the New Year Dean Richmond had awakened to find a small black kitten prowling 'nquisitively about her studio home. “Good luck!” was Dean's first thought. They were friends at once. Dean lived alone in the Bohemian section of the city. She was an editor on one of the better magazines, and left her studio each morning sharp at 8:30 o'clock. The kitten, which Dean called First foot, was sleek and a daintily clean vou out of the difficulty. ined free.

The little collar with which Dean n | Immediately made her ownership cer- tain was black leather. The name in- scribed on the tiny silver tag was “First Foot,” since she had been the first little visitor to put foot over Dean's threshold in the new year. First Foot had been a part of the studio life for some five weeks be- fore she brought down the wrath of her mistress upon her own sleek 1| head. Upon picking u; the kitten for her evening nap in Dean's lap the girl had smelled tobacco. Upon examination she made the discovery that her pet was reeking of the noxious fumes. n “You disgraceful little lady,” ad- monished Dean while she went to the is | kitchen for brush and soap and tollet water. “You have been visiting the den of some gentleman.” That proved to be only the first of the visits, for each night Dean found %er erstwhile perfumed pet reeking of tobacco smoke. There was no good In scolding. Dean finally accepted the 's | tobacco as a part of her troubles. She 1. | did, however, tie a huge pink bow on the neck of her cat and saturated it with Wild Rose scent. “The guilty man may take a hint,” was her inward hope. But the guilty man did not take the hint. Each day when the small black cat came silently into his den he ©- | arose, stroked her head and felt that the day was well begun. When John Rogers finished a par- ticularly good story and determined to try it on the editor of the “Good- if | year Magazine,” he dipped First Foot's paw into the inkstand and made her imprint on his manuscript. So that when the story passed through the hands of the readers and found its way to the editor of the “Good- year,” Dean Richmond found herself ERS’ HARDWARE.
