Editor and Publisher.
 A Philadelphia newspaper man gives the following interesting account of his ex- perience in marketing a manuscript:
 'The story was. originally tale of love and adventure and contained about 5000 words. wrote 1t three years ago and persistently sent 1t the rounds of the magazines It always came back. Then l tried the class publications, changing it from time to time to conform to the re. quirements of each. Once I injected a comedy vein into it. and sent 1t to a comic weekly. On another occasion the atmosphere turned 1t into Christmas story. and some of that still remains. It has been every kind of a story that you could think of Finally sold 1t to the publication In which 1t has just appeared. 1t has dwindled from 5000 words to 1,500 words. and I don't suppose there are 100 words of the original version left; but got Sl5 for 1t, and l shall eat regularly for a while at any rate"
