the white slavery" traffic was car
ried on among the poor. The condi.
tons appalled, him, and he put the con.
ditions before the public in 1.-THE House
of Bondage"
With that duty off his mind Mr..
Kaufman has recalled his original
purpose and has settled in his home
town Of Columbia, in Lancaster. Pa,
to work out his fiction series plans.
The real apostle of the wanderlust
among writer's is Edgar Beecher Bron-
son, who has just been elected to life
membership In the Geographical So
ciety Of Ecuador, a mark Of distinction
that has been accorded very few for
eigners. His election was celebrated
with a banquet that was attended by
the most distinguished men at Quito,
the capital.
The career of Mr.. Bronson, who has
recently come into prominence as an
author Of true stories of travel and
adventure, has been literally crammed
with excitement. He began life more
than thirty years ago as a reporter on
the New York Tribune. He had charge
OF the staff Of reporters who covered
every word of the Beecher trial In
Brooklyn, and in getting this report
to his office n night he scored a
great beat" and gave an early exhibit

boats could not run, so he crossed the
stream by jumping from one ice foe to
another and swimming a part Of the
way.
This experience shattered his health,
n he went west to recuperate. In
Wyoming he established his famous
Dead Man ranch and had many fights
to maintain 1t. He has told Of these
days in his "Reminiscences of a Ranch.

chapters.

incomplete by his sudden demise.
Curiously enough, it was a vision
that inspired Belasco to write 1.-THE
Return Of Peter Grimm" 1t was the
death of his mother, and the incident
Is related by the dramatist in these
words:
when my mother died FIVE years
ago l had not seen her for some time.
I was kept here in the east by my
affairs, but l knew she had been in
poor health. One night-the night she
died. suddenly was awakened as
though some one had touched me, and
there above me I saw in the darkness
my mothers face. I heard her whis-
per: DAVE, Davie, I want to see you
again. Davie, Davie, l wanted to say
goodby.' And she slowly disappeared.
:" received a telegram next morn
ing telling me of her death. She had
died at the very minute she appeared
to me in the vision.
"The thought of this remained in my
mind. Two years later I was aroused
into activity when Cecil Dernllle came
to me in New York with what he
thought was a good idea for a play.
The idea was the one had held in
mind so long about my mother"

Mr.. Kaufman graduated from the
newspaper field into that Of the maya
Eines and within a year became the
editor Of one Of the leading monthlies.
But that did not serve his purpose,
which was to write a series Of novels
which should penetrate the crust Of
American life. So he and his wife
did a daring thing. He resigned from
