A reporter recently took journey Of
considerable length for the purpose Of
interviewing a rising literary light as
to his next novel. On reaching the
house he discovered the author seated
in his garden engaged in earnest CON

large towel pinned around his neck.
The author received his visitor cor.
daily, but seemed rather absentminded.
