upon was ] frame a line The novelist
straightway hunted up an old man OF
lCttcrS-the unknown collaboration OF
many more famous authors who
agreed to write the story for - cen
times Il line. When the work had
reached its second part in the course
of publication the novelist learned that
his o'd client was seriously i'll. Hasten.
ing to his bedside. he found him dying.
In a"ony for the fate Of his story, the
novelist rushed to the office of the
newspaper, got hold OF some back
numbers in order to pick up the
threads of the romance and brought
it to Il speedy end in few brief
ChHptcrS Then he went to the office
with the manuscript
"Whats thatT asked the editor.
''Why, the continuation and end of
my story"
'Oh, then, you want to change 1t,
suppose, because, you know, you sent
in the last chapters three days ago"
Admirable self possession on the
part of the novelist prevented disaster,
and he finally found this explanation:
The old man, whose price was % cen
times Il line, had himself Sublet his
task to Il third writer at 10 confines,
and thus the work had been finished
