 "You are a poet. That is not bad he continued. But that is all you are. A poet in these days must be poet philosopher. or poet Socialist. or poet colonist. etc. and must get into what he writes more philosophy. socialism. color. etc. than poetry. The people do not want poetry, but they will read it occasionally if. like the doctors pills. it has d coating that is palatable.
 "Your poems are therefore impos- sible. and that you should have writ ten them demonstrates that you-par- sible. Your poems are an insult to intelligent Paris. They will be laughed at by every man who reads poetry or reviews tt. You win be pointed out in the sheets as vary ridiculous figure. You have affronted all Paris by offer ing me these manuscripts. and I will publish them with our January works" !"
 Jules. who had sat spellbound during this talk. breathing hard. angrily, but gradually getting the spirit of the dis course. verify leaped from his chair at the unexpected decision.
 "And." continued the old man, ig- noring Vavin's excitement, "as you will probably find. Paris will not of fer you occupation readily. and, as you have no money, your father is dead and your mother has little money, do me the honor to call here on Tuesday and I will introduce you to the pro- lessor of Greek languages and Htera- ture at the Rouen academy, who is looking for an assistant"
 In his memoirs, yet unpublished, Va win has written:
 "That conversation changed my whole life came out gasping. He was an elder man than I, and there fore could ask no questions. He seemed to me the very embodiment of the Mephistopheles of the middle ages smiling. unbelieving, all knowing. all possessing. yet kindly. Only when read my own poems in print did real ize that he had gathered his knowl- edge of me from them"

the principal actors the next day he expressed his belief that the good things they all looked forward to would soon be realized.
 It was not until the end of the week that, while their expectations were still at the highest, they learned the truth. The big man from New York had de clared the play was rotten" and had refused to give it any more time either in New York or elsewhere, and the no- dce was posted on the call board. Company will close on Saturday night next"
 It was a bitter blow for Dora Full lerton. Hardly over twenty, she had fought out what to her was great resolution and discouraging conditions. Her mother she had never known. Her father, a kindly but academic man, had never quite seemed to under stand her. while his sister had insisted that all of her improper instincts were those of her mother. who, like herself. had longed for stage career against the opposition of her husband and to the disgust of her sister-in-law. As far back as she could remember Dora had been accustomed to being told by her aunt that everything she had liked to do was the wrong thing. If as child she was rebellious over a household edict she was told that she had the nasty temper of her mother; if she spoiled a frock it was a slipshod habit of her mother that she had inherited; if she took a mild, childlike fancy to some boy she had her mothers friv- olous disposition, and Aunt Cornelia was always with her to drive home her belief that the girl had no individual ity other than an inherited one, with no good in it.
 The winters were spent, of course. in Boston, where Aunt Cornelia's friends looked up to her opinion and encour- aged her prognostications that she was going to have trouble with the girl Their summers were spent in Lenox. and 1t was here. meeting Graham Win throp, with his sweet. good nature. that she won her first appreciation from her relative by consenting to an announce ment of an engagement with the young man.
 1t seemed as though great relief was in sight. for he had many qualities that delighted her. but it was not long before she realized that to marry
 would be a greater mistake than lo continue her present life. The invita- tion to spend the spring and summer with Graham's mother gave her the opportunity to carry out a scheme that she had carefully and slowly evolved.

Once more they would be get ting home: once more they would be back on their beloved ''thoroughfare of the theaters;" once more they would be before the public to which they loved to play. and, of course, the finan cial end of 1.-the fact that they could save money-that was not forgotten.

 "M. Vavinv' exclaimed Dora. 'sI di, not know he was to come so soon. A warm thrill went through her a the thought that once more she was meet the kind, distinguished gentle man who seemed always to have un derstood her, even more than her ow, father.

 The first night the company was full of excitement and joy. rumors and gossip. expectations and beliefs. When he curtain went down on the last act of the play for the first time every member of the company was quite sure that he or she had made a great hit. The author. who was travelling with it. was positive that his play was a masterpiece. The manager was pos tive that he would have three or four New York houses offering him time" Everybody agreed that the play had gone reasonably we'll Ludlow said he never saw so much enthusiasm in an audience.
 Holcomb alone was calm and ap- parently unaffected blythe general ex- citement.
 ''The play is bad" he said to Dora as he walked with her to her hotel "atrociously bad. and am afraid we will all be banned in the morning." a bit of theatrical slang with which Dora had become familiar by this time, understanding that 1t referred to an editorial rather than to a culinary process.
 Holcomb was right. Even the de- spised critics in this small town de- clared the next day that the piece was positively failure. The fact that they omitted all mention of Dora her. self was not as great blow to her as 1t was to Holcomb. He had declared to her that she had deserved favorable comment.
 Notwithstanding this the company's hopes were still high, for, while they all bought morning papers rapidly to get the opinions of the critics. when they had read them there was an sl- most unanimous outburst, What does he know about it anyway"
 The third day there was considerable excitement. for word had gone round that the "big man from New York"
 
 was coming up to look over the piece. and that meant surely that they would soon be ''back on Broadway" During the performances there was no talk about anything but how the big man was taking 1t. reports being brought back between acts by the treasurer of the company.
 'He says 1t is a knockout" was the first report that was carried from ear to ear. Nobody ever saw him laugh so much" was whispered about "We will run all season on Broadway" was the third electric charge that fired their minds and warmed their hearts and sent them galloping on joyously to the end of the play.

DOM

There are many colored families
who are living in crowded houses
on small plots of land in towns or
cities who want real freedom and
real opportunity for themselves and
for their children. 1t is very difficult
to rear children in a crowded town
or city. The place to rear children
is in the country.
In Macon County, Alabama, the
colored people have a rare and ex-
ceptional opportunity. This is the
county in which The Tuskegee Nor
NAL and Industrial Institute is To-
Gated. There is plenty of good land
for sale on easy terms. There is a
good schoolhouse, and the school
term lasting from seven to eight
months in every part of the county.
The white people in Macon County
are Of the very best class. There is
no disorder or racial trouble. We
advise coIored people who are now
living in crowded towns or cities,
in the North or in the South, and es-
pecially those who have children to
raise to come to Macon County and
buy home where they can get plen-
ty of land to cultivate and rear their
families in the county free from the
temptations of the cities and towns.
