ters. He needed the money, too, presume,
which the novel would net him. but I'M.
fortunately he fell seriously i'll ami vas una
bic to do any work at all. As soon as Black
heard Of the misfortune Of his friend Gilh0n
he at once hurried to his bedside and in spite
Of Gibbons vigorous protest Black insisted
that he should he furnished the scheme Of tho
novel, which it seems Gibbon hal already
outlined.
The generous Black would listen 10 10 ar.

umph with the skeleton novel, and although
he had on hand more work than b. coJld
well attend to, he went 10 work ON that skcl
cton and in short time returned to Gibbon a
complete novel, AMI to this dav no one out.
side Of small circle knows of Blacks kind
hearted action. Gibbon is Il warm personal

life. suppose, of course, YOU know that the
novel, "The Strange Adventures of a
