SUBSTITUTION.

Matthew Elder. editor of The Inner
Circle. had gone out for half an hour to
synchronizc Lis watch. and his assistant,
]. Graham Champnics, rcisncd tempo
rarily in his stead.
y clerk had just laid on Champnies
desk the form which a visitor had filled
Up:
"Namc-Miss Cynthia Page To See
The Editor. Busincss-Privatc Date
3.J.99"
"Wcl. III see her." said Champnies
He had seen the name of Cynthia Page
in good magazines appended to curious
and interesting stories.
He was not i'll pleased when the clerk
showed her in to find that she had
youth and beauty on pale and mystical
lines. J. Graham Champnics found him
self hoping that Matthew Elder, after
syuchronizng his watch, would find it
necessary to go and see man about
dog-or, at any rate, would delay his re
turn.
u am speaking to the cditor?' said
Miss Page. Il little doubtfully.
''Thc actual editor, Mr.. Elder, is not in
at present, but have full power to act
for him.
Il see" She was still in doubt.
"Pray be assured of it. | can make
contracts with you, accept stories from
you. sign checks for you, so if you have
anything to proposc"-
"Oh, its not that. In fact, l came in
consequence of proposition which he
had already made to me-
"WCll, | shall be very glad to carry on
anything that he has begun. AS Il rule
he mentions these things to me, but this
time am in the dark"
She smiled mystCriouSly. but you
can't he sure that you would wish to
carry on what he has begun
AS Mr.. Elder is the supreme authority
here, | should nave no choice. But even
if | had, what you suggest is extremely
unlikely"
"Why unlikely? No two men can have
minds exactly alike. It's such funny
arrangement You have here"
at works well enough in practice. We
both know the character Of our paper
and what our public wants / say that
it is unlikely that l should be unwilling
to carry on whatever Mr.. Elder has be
gun. for this reason and also because l
know and admire your work"
"Oh, do you think it's any goodY
"Of course | do"
"Spcaking frankly"

away with you and got all over the place.
But it's horribly interesting all the same.
You sec. it's original"
