Stands For Parliament.

In 1892 fate finally decided that AM
thony Hope was to be a, man who
writes and not a man who talks. He
made a great bid for pre-eminence as
the latter "That year was occupied
with my parliamentary candidature
for the Southern division of South

candidate against Viscount Curzon.
had visited the division in the autumn
of 1891. preparing my candtdature
The greater part of the following year
was similarly taken up. I remained
in London writing and working at
law, and in the evenings would take
a train down to Bucks, address some
noisy meeting and get the last train
back to town. We had some very
noisy meetings but nothing striking
or eventful occurred in connection with
this campaign. In the intervals of
briefs. which had then become rather
more frequent, I wrote my stories. My
defeat was a foregone conclusion, and
so 7 was not in the least surprised
when I learned that I had been de-
! feated by a majority of 1000 votes. 1t
was an interesting experience and give
me many good friends tn that part OF

EsThe Prisoner OF Zenda" and the
"DoIIy Dialogues"
In the meanwhile Anthony Hope had
struck out in an original line. Mr.. Os-
valid Crawford was at that time edit
| ing the Illustrated weekly paper called
! Black and White, and had introduced
! as a novel feature into this paper a
weekly story, told in the form of a
dialogue He relates that one day he
received from a writer such a dia-
logue, which, when he had read it, con-
WINGED him that there was for this writ
er, whose name was unknown to him,
| a brilliant future in literature. He at
once wrote to Anthony Hope, that was
the writer's name, and asked him to
| continue sending contributions of this
| kind.
"After I had written Half Hero I
wrote The Prisoner of Zenda,' and,
history having always fascinated me, I
fashioned it in the form of a, historical
novel-that is to say, historical in one
sense, for it is really a modern story of
incident, the scene of which is laid in
an imaginary republic. 1t was pub
! lshed by Arrewsmith and at first went
very slowly. But the reviews were
very favorable and did very well for
I 1t, and once it had got a start it went
ahead. I think that there were sold
fourteen thousand copies in England
and nearly twice as many in America. /"

goes Ito his head for his repartee, to
his imagination for his plots. He
moves largely in London society but
he closes rather than opens his ears.

quietly at home in London to going
about the country on circuit. l was
not very successful at the bar and FOR
the first two years got very little work,
so that it impressed itself upon me
that I must look to some other source
for increasing my income 1t was then
that l began to write. l never wrote
for the papers, because I had no eX-

although I had no experience in writ
ing, and without feeling any particular
effort As did not hope to be able to
find any publisher to take the risk of
publishing the first work OF an I'M
known writer. I produced the book at
my own expense and published it on
commission. 1t was a. story about
swindling company transactions and
the scene was laid in one of the South
American republics. It was fairly

Of the critics praised it; others at
tackled it bitterly. l cannot say that,
apart from vague hope, had at that
time much expectation from literature
as a profession, and indeed [ wrote
more for amusement than anything
else. I looked on the bar as my career
in life.
after writing 1.-THE Man of Mark"
1 began writing short stories which
1 sent round to the magazines. AL
most all of these came back. Very
few, if any, got published. Many of
these early efforts I afterwards tore
up, because I recognized that the ed
itors who had rejected them were
quite right-that they we're not worth
much. Nobody helped me. My fight
was a single-handed fight. I was all
alone I was living at home, making
a small and varying income at the
bar My average earnings from my
profession during the first two years
were very small indeed, but then one
mustn't expect to make much as a be-
ginner"
