not less than fUar dollars. For VIXEN the
publisher pays the author a fair price for his
production, then adds profit To his invest
ment large enough to satisfy himself and
compensate him, not only for his labor, but
also for the risk of pe.uniary loss which he
ASSUMES in taking the chances of the enter
prise proving "A success. and when thc State,
