great interest in seeing the story
there" He dismissed Martha with q
slight inclination of the head.
Martha was torn between pique and
elation over the story. She went d.
rectly to her studio and worked the
rest of the day. When the story was
finished Martha reread and polished
It, made an extra copy and sent 1t to
the editor Of Sunlight.
Ten days passed before Martha
heard from her story. Then she re-
ceived note saying the editor wanted
to speak with her about few changes
IN the story, and she went to the office
Of the Sunlight Magazine.
John Durant arose from the editorial
chair to greet her. Martha was so tax
en- aback when she recognized the
young man of the restaurant that a
quick color sprang into her cheeks.
"Oh !" she exclaimed. $50 you are

meaning behind his serious eyes. "That
was my reason for Withholding my

frankly into Martha's eyes. "And now

she found delightful; s'this story is

giving her careful detail as to the
changes. When he had finished he
said softly. You know have watch

"Well." said Martha, "you have been

MiRTHA's MENU
by DOROTHY DOUGLAS.

Martha was sitting In the small res
taurant on upper Broadway having
luncheon when plot registered itself
In her conscious mind. It was not an
extraordinarily good plot, yet, since
she had so many stories to write, each
one was worth remembering for fu-
ture use.
It was seldom that Martha found
herself without her notebook.
However, Martha soon supplied her
lack by asking for a pencil from the
walter and by making use of the menu
card.
The waiter brought In a savory crab
Martha and SO delicious was its favor
that plots and the writing of plots were
entirely forgotten. She ate quickly.
paid the waiter hurriedly and went
swiftly out of the restaurant and along
Broadway.
The rather serious-looking young
man who took the chair vacated by
Martha was interested sufficiently In
his menu card to glance at both front
and back Of 1t. On the front he saw
names Of dainty edibles from which
he made q selection and on the back
he found Martha's hurriedly written
plot for q story.
'sThis is more than ! prayed for"
murmured the young man, and pro-
ceeded to read all that he could Of
Martha's almost illegible writing; "a
story to read and good lunch all for
forty cents"
He had scarcely finished the story
and decided that 1t wasn't bad. but 1t
could be wonderfully improved. when
a stormy-eyed girl came into the res
taurant and stood beside him. Look
ing up, John Durant questioned with
his eyes.
May I please have the menu card
you just put In your pocket7" Martha
demanded. II left 1t here but . mo-
ment ago."
.Sit down." suggested Durant and
stood mp as If welcoming friend. II

II 1t really belongs to you."
"Yes, thank you," she said in an
swer to his request that she join him
in cup Of coffee.

Martha comfortably established behind
the coffee and a small sherbet, II
want to tell you that while the story
written on this menu is rather well con-
ceived can give you far better mate
rial for the ending" He proceeded to
outline the story, but brought won
derful climax into 1t that quite aston
ished Martha.
"Ohl That is heaps better" she ex-
claimed Enthusiastically.
'sRather good" assented Durant,
thinking of the eyes. "Now II you

and send 1t to the Sunlight Magazine

get nice check In return. 1t looks to
me as II that story is just in their
line"
