Such sentiments, whether expressed

tragedies are stronger with the gallery

Leave it said the chief.
For the next few days Otis sat at his
desk surrounded by cyclone. From
what he overheard he judged that Fox
had confessed that he had hired Il lit
erary man who had done some good
work to write the story at cents
word. The author had been taken i'll
and died when the work was about
two-thirris finished. Fox had hurriedly
written the last chapters himself.
"Would you like. sir Mr.. Foz's novel
continued in the same vein as the ear
licr chapters?"
Like it? We're i'll the biggest hole
He stopped short. He remembered
possibility.
Was there any understanding with
Dir. Fox as to the length of the Storyf'
asked Otis.
Farnham looked ut the young man
with amaZement. None of his en-
ployees had ever dared ask him about
the terms of his contracts before.
DO you know your busineSS!''
Yes, sir. But
well do it. and let other peoples
business alone"
I've understood that MI Fox was

There was a dead silence in the edi-

And that's how Arthur Otis got his
