A PRETTY ROMANCE. A Gifted ton I’mwUM T,un, Woman Artist Had aa Interesting Start. People who noticed in The Examiner window a splendid cast of the head of Sitting Ball will he interested to hear the pretty romance of the yonng artdet whoae work it was. . 1 It was modeled bx Mia Alice Ride- oot, a young lady of leas than 18 years o# age, who has jRhady shown such tal- ’ \ ent that ehe bids' fair to take front rank v, among the host of artiata that the Pacific ■dope can claim aa Us own. Her first start in her chosen profession can be directly traced to a large English mastiff owned by her family, although her artistic aspirations date back to her early childhood. One day, while accom panied by the mastiff, ehe passed the open door of a sculptor's studio. Tbs animal nuhed in and, with apparent de liberation, knocked orer the pedestal upon which was placed for exhibition the artist's latest work. An arm and leg were shattered, and the piece lay a seeming wreck on the floor. The at tendant was’ wild. The girl endeavored to make excuses for the dog, but nothing would answer. Offers were made to pay for the damage, hot to no avail. The man, dreading that upon the artist's return he would loee his position, was inconsolable. The girl begged to be allowed to repair the piece, and after repeated entreaties the man consented, with the remark that while he did not believe it could be fixed, he was very certain she could not injure it. .He mixed the clay for her, and watched with interest the unpracticed fingers doing the work that the accomplished artist had so lately finished and taken so much pride in. An hour passed with moat gratifying results; the arm waa re stored and was perfect; the attendant was happy. Another hour the leg approached com pletion, when lo, the artist appeared on the scene. He took in the situation at a glance, and unnoticed by the occupants of the room watched the work. Fin ished, explanations are in order and given. The artist is charmed, declares tho work of restoration has added new charms to the piece, and having beard from the girl the great ambition of her Jtth, went with her to her home and in sisted that her parents shonld allow her an opportunity to learn the art for which she evidently had so much inherent tal ent—San Francisco Examiner. artificially drained.
