written in inde1ible ink:

to open it. No professional author ever

Whatever hopes the writer may have

Mr.. Blanchard was impressed by his
manner, for Gregory was generally very
slightly interested In the affairs of the
house. You ara no fool In such mat
tiers, Gregory" he said seriously: IF
you say so, Ponsonby must read it, and
eventually Ponsonby did. The manu-
script ran the gantlet of several ex-
perienced readers, and though the Oldest,
wisest and saddest of them declared that
it was too good for the general public,
who wanted trash, it was decided that
it should be published if the writer would
accept certain terms.
The address given was mountain
village called Pohatcong, and Gregory,
making no secret that his motive was
admiration for the author, declared his
intention Of interviewing him himself,
of going to him in his mountain seclu-
sion and there adoring him.
Blanchard the elder was pleased that
his son should have become enthusiastic
concerning the affairs of the house, but
he laughed over his fancy.
"When you are older, you will know
that publishers need never go to au-
thors.' he said. "They come to US at a
whistle.
Then Gregory grew a little excited
and spoke of the unknown writer as
''great" and '.above them all in being so"
He had come to the conclusion that he
was an old man. even a venerable man,
who had consolidated the romance of
his youth, the strength of his middle
life and the philosophy of his years into
this one work. His wife perhaps had
wrapped the packages up for him, or
even a servant or housekeeper What

donned a beggar's rags, he would still be

Tassel that he had discovered his genius
and started on his sentimental journey.

hall ran through the middle The doors
at both ends were opened and exhibited
its black, uncarpeted floor. Two trees,
on which no foliage of their own re-
manned, but which were amply draped
in ivy vines, which covered all their
trunks and branches, stood opposite the
house. Between them swung a ham

Native Courtesy of Women,

Ledyard, the great traveller, says that among all nations women adorn themseves more than men, but that whenever found they are the same kind, civil, humane and tender beings, inclined to be cheerful, timorous and modest. He has found the women on the plains of inhospitable Denmark, through honest Sweden, frozen Lap land, churlish Finland and unprinci- pied Russia more hospitable and gener- ous than men, full of courtesy, fond of society, but industrious, economical and ingenious. And whenever the traveller, in the language of decency and friendship, has asked question of any woman, civilized or savage, he has always received decent and friendly answer, while with men it is often otherwise.
