pose hating and was as popular with
his associates in the literary field as
his stories were with the public. He
was forty-three years old when death
closed his promising career.
He was at work just before he died
on a play called The World and the
Door" and on his first long novel,
The Dream" He had intended doing

former crisp, snappy. amazingly dra-

Only few days before the end
came the editor of one OF the big mag

tum by a messenger. who waited for
an answer. The editor read 1t. laughed
and said, Its sgd Porter up to his old
tricks" The note was TO this effect:

money was sent. The writer could
have anything he wanted-and almost
any price for his stories-so well was
he liked and so great the demand for
his work. He received for, tales Of
1000 or 5000 words three or four
magazine pages) as much as $3.50 and
even $1,000.
But he wasn't easy" despite his
financial regardlessness. His friends
narrate an incident showing the mans
shrewdness. A magazine noted for
"slow pay" they said, contracted with
him for a three part story, for which
he was to receive $500. He got a
$500 advance before starting to work,

Essay on the Waist Line.

The waist line is an imaginary ring
around Rosie. For many years it lay
in a dormant state. So quiet and de.
mure 1t was that Rosie herself hardly
knew Of its existence. OF late. how.
ever, the waist line has deported itself
in a reckless and shocking manner. II
has twisted itself into curious shapes.
1t has scared to Rosie's shoulders and
swooped to her feet 1t has coyly hid
den In folds of bouffant drapery, sud-
denly to reappear and spread itself all
over creation. We predict that such
frivolous conduct on the part Of the

his salient points for a moment. He
belonged to the third type of burglars.
This third type has not yet been
recognized and accepted. The police
have made us familiar with the first
and second. Their classification Is
simple. The collar is the distinguish
ing mark.
When n burglar Is caught who does
not wear collar he Is described as a
degenerate of the lowest type. singu-
larry vicious and depEaved. ard is sus-
pected of being the desperate criminal
who stole the handouts out of Patrol
man Hennessy's pocket in 1878 and
walked away to escape arrest.
The other well known type Is the
burglar who wears a collar. He is al
ways referred TO as a Raff1es in real
life. He is invariably gentleman by
daylight. breakfasting In a dress suit
and posing as a paperhanger. while
after dark he plies his nefarious occu-
patton Of burglary. His mother is m

dent Of Ocean Grove. and when he is

territories. and the newspapers print

Ing been given up by five doctors. ex-
periencing great relief after the first
dose.
The burglar wore a blue sweater.
He was neither a Raffies nor one of
the chefs from Helrs Kitchen. The
police would have been bafiled had
they attempted to classify him. They
have not yet heard Of the respectable,
unassumlng burglar who is neither
above nor below his station.
This burglar OF the third class be-
gan to prowl. He wore no masks.
dark lanterns. or gum shoes. He car.
ried 3S caliber revolver in his pocket
and he chewed peppermint gum
thoughtfully.
The furniture OF the house was
swathed in its summer dust protec-
tors. The silver was far away in
safe deposit vaults. The burglar ex-
pected no remarkable "haul." His OBJ
1ective point was that dlmly lighted
room where the master OF the house
should be sleeping heavily after what
ever solace he had sought to tighten
the burden Of his loneliness. A touch"
might he made there TO the extent OF

pin-nothing exorbitant or beyond rea-
son. He had seen the window left
open and had taken the chance.
The burglar softly opened the door
of the lighted room. The gas was
turned low. A man lay in the bed
asleep. On the dresser lay many
things in confusion-a crumpled roll
Of bills. a watch. keys. three poker
chips. crushed cigars. a pink silk hair
