in bed while was worrying about the impossibility of going on with the tale, the solution of my difficulty suddenly occurred to me. 'I'll make the hero mad,'I cried to myself. That will put everything right So the next day I wrote the introduction, explaining Peters madness, and after that went on with the work to the end without any more trouble"
 'I've often wondered" said, as Du Maurier sat back in his chair, smiling and running one hand through his hair, ''how you happened to think of the theme of Peter Ibbetson% Then, too, 1 remember your saying in the story that anyone could cultivate the power to dream as Peter did, and at the time I felt a great curiosity to know if this had any scientific basis"
 "No," Mir. Du Maurier replied, "that statement of mine was merely part of the story. And as for the theme, that had been in my mind for years I've always had remarkable dreams, and these, I suppose, first suggested the idea to me. I used to wonder if it might not be possible for two people to have the same dream. Of course, don't pretend that this is in the least probable; indeed, the possibilities are dead against it. But the possibility in- terested me, and on it built the story"
 Perhaps the most remarkable fact in connection with the writing of Peter Ibbetson" was the ease with which it shaped itself. Mr. Tu Maurier had not been trained as novelist. yet he took up the novelist's tools and used them with the skill of professional. "While I was at work on the story" he said, "a friend of mine, an author, came to see me, and told him how

 And he liked itP"
 "Yes, he praised it very generously. We'll said, you may have the idea and work it out to your own satisfac- tion.' But he refused to accept it. You must write it yourself, he said. I'm sure you can do it, if you'll only try But I insisted that I couldn't, and so we left the matter. But that night after going home it occurred to me that it would be worth trying to write, after all. So, on the impulse, I sat down and began work"

It's utter rubbish Then took up the sheets and was just about to throw them into the fire when I thought I'd keep them for another day and think the thing over. That night

ties, and it is this .artlessness that makes us love the spirit behind it.
 So it was with an especial pleasure that took advantage of an opportuni- ty to meet the creator of 'Trilby" at his home in London. I say fin Lon don," for Hampstead, where Mir. Du Maurier's house is situated, forms a part of the city, though it is remote from the more crowded districts. In America it would be called suburb, and very delightful suburb it is, by far the most rural of all the outlying districts of London. "New Grove House." where Mir. Du Maurier has lived for several years, is within short walk of Hampstead heath, that fine tract of open country which gives one of the most extensive and splendid views in all England. For generations the heath has been the resort of liter ary men, notably of Coleridge and Keats and Leigh Hunt. Lovers of the place for its historic associations as well as for it's beauty will tell you that on the little pond at the top of the Steep hill which you have to mount to reach the heath Leigh Hunt used to help Coleridge's children sail their toy boats. Near by is the celebrated Jack Straw's castle, now one of the most picturesque inns left in London, where Charles Dickens used to come and where Sir Frederick Leighton, Lord Randolph Churchill and other celeb rities often come now for few days of rest and quiet. New associations are gathering about the Heath and in years to come people will speak of it as the place where George Du Maurier took his daily walk.
 The afternoon on which l made my way to Hampstead was dull and the

There is probably no living writer in whom the public feels so keen an inter est at this moment than Mir. George Du Maurier. For many years MT. Du Maurier's rank as an artist has been unquestioned in England or America; but when his first novel, "Peter Ibbet- son." appeared, the popularity he won as a writer leaped bound past even his popularity as an artist, and since the publication of "Trilby' this pop ularity has become a personal affec- Ition. Few writers have been able to make their characters so vital as the chief personages in ''Trilby" are; none has produced life with so little artifce
 Indeed, the very artlessness of the story gives it it's most charming quali-
