A gentleman who has just returned
from six months residence in Lon
don, where he spent much of his time
among the literary men, has some in
terestng gossip to tell concerning one
or two of the novelists which will
bear repeating. Speaking of David
Christie Murray, the author of Wal
Strange, Joseph's Coat and number
less other stories, he said: Murray is
one of the most interesting men in Lon
don. He has had the hardest Of work
to attain his present position. From
boyhood he has made his way unaided
and like many other writers of fiction
he came up from newspaper work. and
his early journalistic training has
been of inestimable value to him.
After working for long time on The
Birmingham News, he resolved to see
London, and arrived in the city with
but little to keep body and soul to-
gether While casting about some
road to fortune he wrote an article on
'lmpecunious London" which was
printed in one OF the weeklies and
served to open new field of work to
him. The paper, it need hardly be
said was founded upon his own eXpe-
TAnces, and its success encouraged
,ilm later to set out on an extended
tour as an amateur tramp. To put it
out of his power to enjoy creature
comforts he mailed bank note to the
care Of Il post office nearly 100 miles
away and started to walk To it, He
had not penny to buy lodging or
food he stopped ut many of the poor
house hotels which lay on his path,
worked bit when nothing else would
secure food in true tramp style, and,
arriving at the longed for postoiiice,
secured his money and reveled in lux
urious comforts. He is a member of
the Savage club, London, and one of
its shining lights, philadelphia
