The Opposition .He Encountered and
His Friend the Tailor.


Among the condolences that J. M.
Barrie has made concerning the
early years Of his career there is
none more intimate or more enlight-
ening than this bit, which adds the
pathos Of story strangely in con-
trast with his own:
The malignancy of publishers
could not turn me back. From the
day on which l first tasted blood
In the garnet my mind was made up.
There could be no hum-dreadful-
drum profession for me. Literature
was my game. It was not highly
thought of by those who wished me
well. | remember being asked by
two maiden ladies about the time
I left the university what ! was to

hands, and one exclaimed reproach-
fully, "And you an NJ. APP My

be a minister-that she thought was
among the fairest prospects, but she
was a very ambitious woman, and
sometimes she would add, half
scared at her appetite, that there
were ministers who had become pro-
fessors, "but it was not canny to
think of such things"

man had heard of my set of photo
graphs of the poets and asked for a
single sight of them, which led to
our first meeting. I remember how
he spread them out on his board
and after looking long at them
turned his gaze on me and said SOL

What can I do to be forever known
And make the age to como my own?
These lines of Cowley were new
to me, but the sentiment was not
new, and I marveled how the old
tailor could see through me so well
So it was strange to me to discover
presently that he had not been
thinking of me at all, but OF his
