The gray-bearded sage of Slabsides
had just remarked that lie couldn't al.
ways remember how many books he
was the author of, and had told this
story:

and when l made that remark, she
spoke up, saying:
"tOh, know You have written
Just thirteen, for have them all here
in my library

play, and 1t has all been done so grad,
-ually that can scarcely realize how
many there are. There will be four.
teen in all when the one on which /
am now working is finished in June.
But, then," he continued, comforting

as have, you will have something to
show for your labors. New York
