AUTHOR MADE A HIT.

One of the most popular novels OF

books are always sure Of certain de-
gree Of popularity finished all but the
last few chapters of novel. Try as
to complete the story atisfactorily.
So he put the book away and for two
years it lay unfinished on his desk. al
though the author thought of the
work from time 10 time without be-
ing able 10 get any nearer the solu-
ton of the plot, says the New York
Sun.
Finally he lost all hope Of ever COM
pleting the work and decided TO end
it at a point several chapters in adj
vance of that at which he had ceased
TO write. With this abrupt and unex-
pected ending the novel went TO pub
Usher. was accepted and turned out
one of the most popular novels this
author has ever written. One OF the
most praised features OF the book is
its unconventional ending, which Is
said to be just explicit enough 10 sat
isfy everybody without going into ar
tistic detail. And the author was at
one time so discouraged about the end
ing OF the book that he had almost
given up the idea of submitting il TO
any publisher.
