Chicago, May 6 After a year of rainbow chasing, harrassed by hardships and disappointments, Warner Miller, son of Jay D. Miller, attorney for Sprague, Warner & Co. has returned to America with the pot of gold he sought almostwlthln his grasp. When he arrived In New York, a first cabin passenger on the Kronprinz Wilhelm, the youth who rode brake beams and tended the living cargo on a cattle boat to win his way to Paris

and the career of a musician, was on the high road to the fulfillment of his ambition. , To his father and mother, who met him at the pier, young Miller told a story of a 6,000 mile journey on three ten-dollar bills that will read like romance to the placid people of Geneva, HI., Wahner's starting point and the place where he spent his boyhood. Wanted to Be Violinist. It had been the intention of Miller's father to educate, his son in the law, but the boy who is now 20 years old, was determined to become a great violinist. He already had absorbed the knowledge of the instrument possessed by teachers at Geneva and looked forward to student life In Paris. On March 21, 1910, after he finally had given up hope of going to Paris

with his father's sanction. Miller started for Paris with $30 in his pocket and his violin under his arm. He reached Pittsburg by jumping trains. He pushed on to Harrlsburg. There he was arrested as a vagrant and sentenced to ten days in jail. The judge's heart was softened by Miller's pleading and he reduced the sentence to a small fine. Of $12 he had on arriving in New York the wanderer was obliged to spend $8 for the "privilege" of working his way across the Atlantic on a cattle boat. Efforts to increase his resources by fiddling in saloons failed. When he set sail'the $30 had been reduced to a few pieces of silver. Shipwrecked on Atlantic. The ship that carried Miller out of i ew York was the ill-fated Minnehaha

of the Atlantic transport line. She went ashore on the Scilly islands on April 18. Miller saved the precious violin, i Ashore, the Islanders stole some of his clothing. Days of hardship and privation were spent in London and Brussels. At last the violin that had been carried so far was sacrificed for $3, the fare to Paris. The flame of ambition had been stamped almost out when Miller, bedraggled, footsore and discouraged, ar

rived In Paris. He appealed to the United States consul for aid, expecting at best to get passage home and a severe reprimand from his father. Instead, when word came from home it was one of cheer. Miller was provided with funds to carry on his studies and obtained as teacher Professor Oberdoerffer, a noted musician. After visiting his home Miller will return to Paris, his teacher, and the path to the pot of gold.
