Then he sits down OF his typcwritc,
and there Is not Il pause in the click
ing Of the keys until the story is writ,
. ten or the hour arrives for the closing
OF his desk.
p He has a study in his home. Here
7 he works every day from in the
morning till noon. Nothing Is ever
allowed to interfere with this work.
Mrs. Cobb assured me that her vig.-
! lance outside her husbands study
never relaxed. She permitted no in
/ typewriter keys.
She has never known him TO write
II story until he has worked II over in
his mind for a couple OF months or
I more. He tells her that he has al
ways a hundred germs dcve!opiEc AZ
a time, and that ne will not live lon,
enough TO write all his stories.
A year before he wrote THE Belled
Buzzard" he was visiting with Mrs.
( Cobb at her old home In Georgia The;'
| were sitting on n front porch one
morning and huge buzzard few past.
Mr.. Cobb recalled a Southern story
about n belled buzzard. and rcn,arke 1
that he guessed he would weave plo'
round IL. Just one year later he fi,i-
! ished the developing and wrote the
story.
! lie is a keen observer. When he il
out with his wife he secs ten timcS

IL seeing all there is to see. When
he was writing The County Trot"
: Mrs. Cobb marvolled at his lifeiike pic
! lures Of tho Kentucky characters, all
of whom he had really known. She
, asked him how 1t was possible for him
to remember their faces and manner
| isms after the lapse Of 40 many years.
He said:
why, can close my eyes and see
the kno,holes that were in the fence
around that Playground"
Mr.. Cobb does not believe that any
man is a genius. He declares that all
/ success must come through hard work
, He believes that a writer must handle
only subjects with which he Is well ac-
+ ouainted. He says the public cannot
, be fooled.
! You know" Mrs. Cobb confded,
"our daughter. aged IS. Is fond OF writ
ing. But he destroys her little stories
and admonishes her for trying to write
| about things not Of her world. lie
tells her to write about her dog or
canary or tho trees In the park"

That" said my little hostess with a

! Mr.. Cobb treats writing as a business
and works at II as steadily and regu-
larly as IL he were q merchant.
| When writing story his object Is
to draw sharp pictures that will never

his greatness again and told me about
his work. Thus Il was that dug
deeper into the life OF this writer
through his charming wife than ever
! could have done through Mr.. Cobb
h.mself. That modcsty which he is
known 10 scss-that rare virtue in
, authors-wou,d have kept from me
the intimate little facts that n proud
wife delighted in telling.
First Of all ] learned that one haunt
ing regret OF Mr.. Cobb's life Is that he
did M: have a college training. He
went To work on II newspaper In Pa
. du"ah. Ky. at the ag" Of Ii. and Il
was through his experiences as n Pa
dIcah reporter that ne stored up a
fund of knowledge about such charlc-
,crs as Old Judge Priest.
When first he came 10 New York
city he went To- work on THE SrN.
Next hc became affiliated with the
Er.ninD World And all tho time he
was piling up germs for future writing.
lie was then, as he Is now, an indefat-
| .sahlc worker.
"IIe always talks over his story
plots here at home said Mrs. Cobb
with a great deal OF tenderness, land
usually the day before he begins to
write II story he tells Il 10 me from
yeginning to end. In this way he
learns how the story will sound II read
aloud"
lie keeps no notes save word
scrawlcd now and then in "A tiny red
book which he carries In Il waistcoat
pocket. Mrs. Cobb has never seen him
write a connected sentence in It, When
IL l. full the little book contains moth
ing but random words which would
convey no coherent meaning to any
one but Mr.. Cobb.
Why" enthused the little lady IL
the big chair, 1--WE gone tramping
through the woods with him where
there was nothing particularly un-
usual. and I've seen him take out his
little red book and jot down word
/ dreamily. as though nr expected 1t to
recall volumes some future day when
! he should refer to IT,"
Mr.. Cobb works twenty-four hours
a day. according To his wife, who says
: he Is forever living a story or dreaI,-
Ing il. He can be in 4 crowd without
heirg Of Il. And because his mind Is
always developing germs. Mrs. Cobb
walks with him or rides with him
sometimes for hours in absolute
J silence.
| Il never break in on his thoughts.
| When he wishes TO be silent | know
he Is working, and I wait for him to
speak first" As my hostess said this
! I wondered how much credit the pub
fishers and the reading public gave to
| this little helpmeet.
Mr.. Cobb Il not n playfellow. lie
does not care for golf, tennis or any OF
the sports particularly. but he Is n
boy IN his unspoiled modesty and lack
of sclf-assurancc. lie always acts 10
| II each story were his first. and sends
II out with the expectation OF gettiri;
It back. and is always equally sur
prised when the check arrives. He
seems to he unable to believe that his
success Is assured. a thing to depend
on.

as the beginner is 90 often advised to
do. He works II up mentally uato n
