literary career is sufficiently pictur-
esque For some time he had picked
up a precarious livelihood by doing
'odd jobs" including such prosaic oc-
equations as that of bootblack and
casual porter on the Quai Marseilles.
One day he was engaged by a gentle
man to carry to the railway station
heavy trunk. Arrived at the station,
there was an instant mutual recogni-
ton. They were old college chums.
what are you doing here?' asked his
friend. Carrying your trunk, I be-

this?" Because 1 must where
do you live?" "Come and see," re-
piled Richepin.
The future dramatist took his friend
to his dwelling-a miserable room in
an attic in the poorest quarter of the
town. Upon the table lay scattered
heaps Of manuscripts-Jean' incur.
sions in the realms of poetry when
the more prosaic duties Of the day
were over. Looking through them, his
friend was astounded at their quality.
"Why do you carry trunks and blacken
boots when you can do work like
this?" he asked. Richepin had never
given the matter thought He had
never deemed these products Of idle
hours worthy Of publication. Pub

few weeks and created an immense
sensation. From that moment Jean
Richepin never looked back.-West-
