 Stranger he said slowly as he looked into the open fireplace medita- lively. This hyar pears to be kin O. bad business. I'm peaceable man aD don't want no trouble with nobody. Dad fust cum hyar when I war boy, an thar seemed to be heap of trouble bout the title. Fust an last, reckon thar war ten killed.

TnE NOVELIST.

The man with a head for tale,
 Who trusts to his fancy for bread, Will find even fancy bread fail
 When he hasn't tale In his head When he has, he must toll on his plot With an "Ah, but this writing Is wool" And envy his easier lot
 Who works on his plot with a hoe. What wonder an author should nope When (the metaphors simple and neat) He must "climb on his head' in the hope That he one day may fall on bis feeti If Fate on his hope never shines,
 In vain all his wrongs he may writes Though he skillfully puts out his lines, He will starve while he waits for bite. And if he succeeds-what is famef
 Though a lion he roars among men; At home he Is plodding and tame And goes like a sheep to his pen. A. St. John Adcock in Chambers Journal
