In appearance and has very sandy complexion
His work table is usually Uttered with papers and
uncorrected proofs. He is one of the few famous
men that success has not spoiled, and to this day he

always religiously acceded In manner Mr. Locke is
evening is to him distinction which is almost akin
to pain
A very distinguished American artist tells the
following story of him Locke" he said, was the
guest at reception evening and was due at the

rich. We moved to this apartment further down
town. The house is called "The Lady Jane Grey

left Lowell and Molly behind, but brought Mar
