$1,000 Awaiting Somebody.
From the Boston Times.

About five years ago, a youth, appar:
en- ly fifteen or sixteen years of age.
called at the publishing house Of John
E. Potter & Co., IN Philadelphia, and
offered a manuscript story for publica-
ton. Mr.. Potter, the head of the firm.
who happened to he in Mt the time,
smiled at the idea of one so youthful
aspiring to appear in literature as the
author of a. book; but finally, at the
urgent request of the boy, consented to
keep the manuscript q few days and
look it over. When he had done so. he
was convinced that the story, while
evincihg a lack of polished education
on the part of the toyish author, pos
sessed considerable merit as III exciting
novel, some of the scenes being de-
scribed with wonderful power: and.
after consulting with the other mem
hers OF the house, decided to publish it.
When the youth called u few DAYS
afterward, he told him Of his conclu-
sion, and it was agreed that the author
should receive royalty of ten cents a
copy ON all sold. The story was duly
published in book form, under the
title Of ''White Rocks" and since that
time 10000 copies have been sold.
Bnt what Is singular about it is. that
the youthful author has been seen or
heard of since, and there is now due
him the sum of ST., 600 as copyright on
his story.
