AUTHORS EARN HUGE SUMS

The popular novelists and tellers of stories often have a long and wearing struggle before they reach popularity and prosperity. Hergesheimer, for ex- fore meeting with acceptance from editors, and Fanny Hurst (Mrs. J. $. Danielson) also had a cruel fight. These are only two out of scores or hundreds of similar instances. Yet when the struggling author finally be- comes the successful author-that is, if he or she live long enough-the monetary compensations not infre- quently are enviably large.
 Mrs. Danielson, if reports be true. re- ceives a 4-figure check for a story. Chambers. Churchill, Curwood, Miss Lincoln, McGrath, Tarkington, Mister and Wright are supposed to be the American authors who are making most money or have made the most from fiction during the last few years With them also stands Edna Ferber Winston Churchill is a millionaire, whose Inside of the Cup rose to heights unequaled by any of his fel- lows except Harold Bell Wright.

Little Stories for Bedtime
JOHNNY cHucH GOES HIMSELF

JOHNNY CHUCH GOES HIMSELF
 T don't believe it. said Johnny Chuck.
 But tell you it is so," insisted Sammy Jay. T guess I can believe my own eyes. I tell you l saw your baby Chuck sitting on Farmer Brown s doorstep and drinking milk from bottle held by Farmer Browns boy.
 Johnny Chuck stamped a foot inn patiently and angrily. "Go home, Sammy Jay! 60 home." he stormed- Wasn't is bad enough to tell me that my baby had a chance to come home and wouldn without adding such story as this? Don't you suppose feel badly enough without being made fun of in this way2 Go home, Sammy Jay. You're bad.'
 Sammy Jays heart swelled with anger, and his eyes snapped Here he had been trying to do Johnny Chuck a good turn by finding out for him what had become of his baby Chuck. who had been carried off by Farmer Browns boy. and this was the thanks be got You see, Sammy had quite for gotten that people who have tbe nam. of being bad are seldom trusted, even when they are really trying to be good.
 Its no such thing. I'm not bad not now anyway screamed Sammy. .'Tll never. never try to help you again, Johnny Chuck, and I don't care now what happens to your baby or whether he ever comes home or not If you won't believe other people you better go see for yourself. You just don't dare to-"
 q will" shouted Johnny Chuck as Sammy Jay flew off to the Green For est to tell every one he met about what he had seen at Farmer Browns s.
 Of course Peter Rabbit was one of the first to hear the news. Late that afternoon he hurried up to the old or chard to hear what Johnny Chuck would say. Johnny was very glad, very gla, indeed. to see Peter.
 ..Oh, Peter Rabbit he cried, I'm going up to Farmer Browns dooryard to find out what has become of my lost baby and-and--I don't know the
 Peter looked a little bit startled When are you thinking of going uI there. Johnny Chuck ?' he asqed.

 Peter scratched his head thoughtful- ly That was really the safest time to go. and Peter had great faith in his own long legs to take him to safe place if there should be need. I'll go, said he.
 So the next morning when the firs of the dark night shadows slipped away Peter Rabbit and Johnny Chuck stole out of the old orchard and up behind the woodpile in Farmer Browns door yard. Bowser the Hound was asleep They could hear him snoring in hi: little house. They peeped out iron behind the woodpile.

Reverie absorbed me The kaiser's gemS! It seemed a thousand years since first I had learned that part of the Prussian crown jewels had been sent to this country in U-boat.
 Before the end of the war we had spent summer at Certeis summer home on the Atlantic coast. And the god of illluck had brought it about that I should learn of the vast treas ure hidden in a munition shell in a mysterious craft which slipped into our harbor on dark nights for fuel
 Months later the U-boat became a derelict on the sea bottom, abandoned by her crew, but hunted by score of adventurers. Eventually it had been destroyed by an explosion
 I could scarsely grasp the romance in its entirety. Whether the treasure had been sent here for safekeeping or to promote propaganda, was mooted question, but of it's fate, everybody in the secret felt sure. Even the detec- tives believed that it had been lost for ever on the ocean bottom.

Johnny Chuck hurried over to the box. There he found the hole made by Prick " Porky, just as Sammy Jay had said. A little feeling of shame crept over Johnny Chuck as he remembered how he had refused to believe Sammy Jay.
 Johnny Chuck put his nose in at the hole and called softly. "Go away said a little sleepy, cross voice,
 I've come to take you home" whis- pered Johnny Chuck
 q don't want to go home; I like it here better replied the baby Chuck
 Johnny Chuck just gasped Could he really believe what he heard? Then the baby Chuck told him what a good time he was having. what good thine he had to eat, how good Farmer Browns boy was to him. how he could dig in the garden and do as he pleased and how he had made friends with Bowser the Hound. And so,' conclud- ed the baby Chuck, T am going, to stay right here" And nothing that Johnny Chuch could say made hin, change his mind.
 Johnny Chuck and Peter Rabbit didn't say word until they had reached the doorstep of Johnny Chuck's house in the far corner of the old or chard but they were doing a lot of thinking.
 Perhaps said Johnny Chuck as he bade Peter goodby, perhaps Farmer Browns boy isn't so bad after all''
 Perhaps he isn't" said Peter.
