ment. There was no chance, he told
her. of his magazine accepting a serial
from a new contributor, as they had
such matter arranged for years in adj
vance The young woman was not dis
mayed, and reiterated her intention of
remaining until the manuscript was
read. The editor protested but finally
agreed to hurry the manuscript to a
reader. The result was that three days
later, when the author called to know
its fate, the contract was signed and
all arrangements completed, perhaps
more to the astoniShment of the editor
than to any one else. In this way Mary
Hartwell Catherwood's Romance of
Dollard" crept into print. Thanks to
its excellence and the gentle persistency
of its authors methods it won quick
recognition, and it has not been neces-
sary for Mrs. Catherwood to personally
escort her later manuscript to the pub
fishers
But let no one infer from the fore
going that success in the world of let
tiers is easily won and waits the knock
of every eallow newcomer. Far from
it. The making of a great book, like
the making of a great painting, de-
mands not only talent, but long and
patient preparation. Success came to
those 1 have mentioned because for
years they had been ready for it. In
literature. as in all other callings, the
laurels are won and worn only by those
who deserve them.-St Louis Globe
