No leN interesting is the story OF the
late T.. y. Roe, whose stories arc stu
remembered by those OF middle age. A
wsrderirc preacher and lecturer. he was
in Chicago at the time of the great fire.
So strong was the impression that the
calamity made UPON him that he wrote
Barriers Burned Away" II won in
stant success and was followed by sew
eral other popular novels which are still
on sale.
Marion Crawford owed his success to a
chance remark OF an uncle, Returning
from India downhearted and discouraged
over the failure OF his efforts TO establish
n newspaper there. his uncle asked why
he didn't write his adventures in the
East. MIR IsaacS" was the result, which
was followed by a long list of popular
books.
Even Bret Harte's frst success could
be attributed to chance. He was editor
of the Overland Monthly and like Mr..
Egglcston filled in for a delinquent con-
tributor His story was The Luck OF
Roaring Camp
The success OF the beloved Frank
Stockton on the other hand was the re-
suit Of painstakinS effort and hard work.
He was a wood engrayer and illustrated
stories written by his wife and II re-
CURED a long struggle before he got his
charming stories before the public. so
was Elizabeth stewart phelps's efforts
In producing Gates Ajar." 1t took her
two years to write the story and two
more years to find Il publisher.
Joel Chandler Harris OF Uncle Re-
mug fame said 1t was purely an acct
lent that ne became a writer. Born and
reared in the South, he had heard from
plantation "uncles' and "aunties" the
myths and stories he later made such
good ure of. He became aware of the
value of the material he had uncon-
sciously absorbed only when he read an
article in the old Lippincou's on negro
folklore.
The same element OF chance holds good
with our present day writer's and prac-
tically all OF them have been diverted
from the paths Of their chosen life work
II was never intended. for instance, by
those who had them in charge when they
were youngsters that Thomas Nelson
Page or John Kendrick Bangs should
write novels or humorous stuff. They
had been trained for the law and the

WRITERS SIDETRACKED
FROM OTHER CAREERS

There II perhaps no profession IN
which the element OF chance enters more
strongly than that OF the writer. II u a
slippery road tn travel and only a few
are sure of even a temporary foothold
that may or may not lead them into tho
realm OF the best sellers"
An interesting phase o. those who be-
long 10 u so-called literary world OF
the past and present generation In that
few Of them started In life with the
thought of becoming professional writer's.
They were trained for other professions
or business careers and 1t was by chance
that they discovered their abilities to
write a readable tale,
There are those too who fairly blum
dered into literature and awoke to find
themselves famous over night. A etrik-
ing instance OF this was Edward Eggles-
ton, o successful novelist OF n generation
ago, who figuratively fell down the
stairs into an income of $4,000 n year.
Giving up the life OF a Western circuit
rider he came TO New York to become
, the editor OF Hearth and Home. A reg
ular writer OF that periodical failed on
one occasion 10 forward a story and Mr..
Eggleston volunteered to "hll in" He
wrote his experiences as a wandering
Methodist minister in Indiana. The
story struck n popular chord and his
readers wanted more. To supply the de-
mand he wrote THE Circuit Rider
THE Hoosier Schoolmaster'' u other
popular stories that are sim on the book
shelves,
