The indianapolis Journal prints
this interesting story concerning ex.
President Harrison forthcoming
book: General Harrison has lust
completed the revision of his arti-
clcs which have appeared IN The
Ladies Home Journal, making ex.
tended notes and additions to them.
There is little story in connection
with both articles and publication.
w hen the arrangement for the arti-
clcs was made with General Harri-
son by Edward w. Box, editor of
The LADIES' Home journal, the
General was paid for them, with
the understanding that when they
were put into book form the maya
zine was to share the royalties ac-
cruing therefrom. Mr.. Box, how
ever, of his own accord, generously
released General Harrison from
paying him any royalty, for the
reason, as he states, that by the
publication of the articles by Gen.
eral Harrison the subscription list
OF his magazine was enlarged many
thousands. The profits to the La
dies Home Journal were more than
the publishers anticipated, and IN
view of this Mr.. Box asks nothing
further. General Harrison placed
the disposition of his book in Mr..
Bok's hands. The best offer came
to the editor from the Scribncrs.
and to them Mr.. BOX gave the book
Tor his distinguished contributor.
General Harrison's revision Of the
book has just been completed, and
the volume will appear in the au-
tumn."

seemed to scurry away from both sight

thrown over her shoulders, calm and
dignified, her silvery hair iluttering
about her temples, and the lines OF
care seeming even deeper in the sad,
c]ear-cut face, stood Mrs. Walton, lean
ing on the stout cane which had dealt
such trenchant blows the night before.
With a voice that trembled just a tr:fle
despite her effort at control, she slowly
spoke:
"You mean to be courteous, sir, in
your inquiry, and for this I beg to
thank you-to renew my thanks for
your prompt service of last night. But
now may I say, once for all, that we
need, and can accept, no further as

desire to be courteous, you will not

Serene in the consciousness that he was
doing a perfectly conventional and
proper thing, he had bounded lightly
up the broad wooden steps and knocked
ut the door. It was opened almost in
stantly by the colorcd girl whom he

apostrophized as "You Elinor." The
eager expression in her eyes gave way
at once to something of disappointment
