Mr.. Anthony Hope Hawkins, the author
of THE Prisoner of Zenda," proves, on
the closer acquaintance which his visit
to this country is now yielding, no less
attractive as q man than as writer.
His public readings from his own works
seem to give his large audiences the high
est satisfaction; and in the busy course
of friendly dining through which he has
been put since he landed he has shown
himself the kindlicst and most unassum-
ing of guests of honor.
Mr.. Hawkins is now 81 years Old He
began life as a lawyer, and in 1892 he
made a vigorous but unsuccessful canvass
for Liberal seat in parliament. While
waiting for clients he began to write
stories. He made his way but slowly at
first; he had been writing four or five
years before he achieved pronounced
success in the Prisoner of Zenda."
THE Dolly Dialogues" followed and con-
trmed his popularity. 1t is an interest,"
ing fact that While he is visiting in this
country an American magazine will be-
gin publication of a sequel to the story
which was his great success. McCiures
Magazine for December will contain the
opening chapters of Rupert of Hent-
zau," a new Zcnda novel which continues
the history of the love of Rudolf Ras-
sCndyll and Princess FlaVia. They were
extremely engaging people as they pre-
sented themselves in THE Prisoner Of
Zenda"; but those who have had the
privilege of reading the new story say
that they are Still more engaging in it,
and that the series Of adventures through
which it carries them is one to keep read
ers sitting up all night. The story has
been illustrated by the authors personal
friend, Charles Dana Gibson.

Il cannot remember when | did not

prove of my writing. One day after

studying the historic period of the

so strongly on my mind that | felt
impelled to write about it. ! was about
half way through when my mother
came in, saying q young friend had

tea with mo. In great distress / called
out: "Oh. mother, can't she wait a
little while?' My mother, thinking |
was solving a hard problem in arith-
metic, said she would amuse my friend
until [ could leave. At last | finished
it and nut it away
Two or three years later 7 wanted

paper to which ! had been in the habit
of contributing short poems gratuitous-
ly. | was unable at the time to write,
as usual, and, On looking over my pa
pers found this one, which | decided
to send, though doubling it's accept

later | received note from the editor
