manuscript and the floor was strewl
with scraps of per-rejected ex

Some one entered the room and sale
that dinner was ready, but he paid M
attention. Evening found him still
seated at the table. He stopped lone
enough to light lamp, but disregard
ing a summons to supper, he BEN

would scratch out word-a line, and
then, after finishing page, he would
read it, tear it into little bits and
throw it on the floor When the sun
came up and made the lamp-light look

"You do not know. Your belief is
in me, and your love for me gives you
good opinion of the work; bat truly

publisher"
"Now, Tom, for ply sake, keep on
trying. 1t will be success. !"
"How can it? The world is full of
books"
'.But none like the one you will
write"
''None so poor, probably"
"Oh, don't be discouraged.

"Tom, you are respondent to-day,
You have worked too hard" putting
