SUNDAY Leader" Shaped His Career.
Along in 1865 BARLEY Campbell was about
as awkward reporter as there was on the
| Pttsburg press He was bright enough
and was then reputed even better than he
was bright He was modest, and realized
his awkwardness and ACKNOWLEDGED it frankly
but he also thought there was something in
him, and wondered how it could DO brought
out. He wrote fugitive pieces; he acted as
reporter for the daily press when he could
got job, and about this time conceived
and carried out the idea of writing novel,
which he retained in manuscript
In 1866 John w Pittock started Tho Sun
day Leader, which James Mclver, bright
man as editor. In about month h, went
on one of his periodical sprees and Fred
Watson took his place. Then, in about a
month, Watson followed suit BY this time
McIver was ready to go to work, and so
they alternated for many months At
lenghth however, 10th got drunk at the
same time, and Pittock was at
his wits end TO decide how
to get out his paper In his
extremity, on next to the last day Of the
week he ran across BARLEY and engaged
him to get out the issue. Write as fast AS he
could, yawning columns of emptiness con-
fronted him. What should no do: The
paper must be full Of original matter. He
could not have re curse to reprint That
novel occurred to him He filled a page or
SO with the initial chapters and the paper
went TO press on time.
BARLEY tinidly inquired of a few of his
friends what they thought of his story, and
even venture to ask some of them to read
it the next day. Within "A day or two orders
for extra copies Of the Leader containing
hartley story came in thick and fast Then
the newspapers criticised 1t favorably, and
IN short time BARLEY Campbells name
was well known. Tue story was continued
for weeks, and to the end, III the Leader,
and it was its favorable reception by the
public which induced its author to enter
upon his career as dramatic author.
There were intermediate steps, of course,
but these are the plain facts in the case,
written by one who knew him well N those
days, and has had frequent acknowledge
ments of their truth from genial BARLEY
