fI|K~MNA was very pleas
kssBs.&S."J ant, and the early
@s-Y morning u IN
brought out in strong relief the fresh
greenness to the trees that now had
on their early spring suits of foliage.
Mr.. Ringamy had Eeen a busy man,
but now if he had cared to take life
easy he might have done so, for few
books had had the tremendous sue
cess OF his latest work. Mr.. Ringamy
was thinking about this when the
door opened and a tall intelligent
looking young man entered from the
study that communicated with the
library. He placed on the table the
bunch OF opened letters he had in his
hand, and, drawing up a chair, open
ed Il blank note book that had be-
tween the leaves a lead pencil sharp
ened at both ends.
Good morning, Mr.. SERVER" said
theauthor, also hitching up his chair
towards the table. He sighed as he
did so, for the fair spring prospect
from the library window was much
more attractive than the task OF
answering an extensive correspond
ence.
SIS there a large mail this morning.

"A good sized one, sir. Many o
them however, are notes asking fol-

intimate friend could not tell my
version ofyour autograph from YOU

As he said this the young mai
showed towards the author a lettel
which he had written, and Mr.. Ring
amy looked at it critically.
Very good, SERVER, very good in

witness-box / am not sure that
would be able to swear that that
was not my signature. What
this you have said in the body o
the letter about sentiment? No

don't want the newspapers to get

into ridicule. They are too apt t.
that sort of thing if they get halt {

said the young man; still | thought
it best to submit it to you before
sending it off. You see the lady who
writes has been getting up a Ring
amy Club in Kalamazoo, and sh,
asks you to give her an autograph,
sentiment which they will cherish al
the motto of the club. So | wro.,

"Oh, that will do first rate-firs
