VANITY FAIR
~
By VIM. M. THACKERAY
Condensation by
Miss Carolyn Wells

Twice In his later years did William
Malxepeace Thnckeray seek temporarily
another career than that of authorship.
Shortly before writing "The Virgin
ians" he tried uDsuccessfully to cap
ture a seat in parliament. Politics had
always attracted him, although his
temperament was wholly unsuited to
popular demands.
He was radical, sympathizing with
Richard Golden In his anti-cOrn law
fight. 81 would like to see all men
equal" he wrote in 1910, "and this
bIoated aristOcracy blasted to the wings
of all Winds" He was nevertheless
absolutely opposed to any attempt on
the part of the people to win their
rights by force. His attitude Is in
teresting In the light of today's radi-
calism, as is also his firm advocacy of
IreIand's right to have home rule.
After finishing "The Virginians,o
Thackeray became the first editor of
the COrnhiIl Magazine. His own wide
popularity practically insured the
initial success of the venture. Of the
first number 10000 copies were sold.
The most distinguished writer's of the
day were attracted as contributors
through the editor's prestige, and the
COrnhill furnished magazine readers
with better fiction and articles than
can be found today in any successful
English periodical.
Although Thackeray was good
editor In many ways, he was handi-
capped by too tender a heart. He could
not refuse poems and articles, however
uninspired and even maudIin, If the
writer's needed money. So few months
later he gladly resigned his position
and returned to novel writing.

he broke her heart afresh by pretend
ing not to admire It..
But on Christmas eve he was de-
layed at the mine and Cherry, smitten
suddenly with the bitterness Of having
their first Christmas spoiled in this
way, sat up for him, hudded in her
silk wrapper by the air-tight stove
She was awakened by feeling herself
lowered tenderly into bed and raised
warm arms to clasp his neck and they
kissed each other.
The next day they laughed at the
clock together and after that peace
reigned for several weeks. But it was
inevitable that another quarrel should
come and then another; Cherry was
young and undisciplned, perhaps not
more selfish than other girls Of her
age, but self-centered and unreasOn-
able. She had to learn self-control
and she hated to control herself. She
had to economic when poverty pos
sessc9 neither picturesquoness nor in
terest. They were always several
weeks behind In the payment of do
nestle bills, and these recurring re-
mindegs of money stringency mad
dened Cherry. Sometimes she summed
it up, with angry tears, reminding him
that she was still wearing her trous-
seau dresses. and had no maid, and
never went anywhere!
But she developed steadily. AS she
grew skilful in managing her little
house she also grew in the art of
managing her husband and herself.
She became clever at avoitling causes
of dis0gr cment; she listened, nodded,
agreed with a boiling heart, and had
the satisfaction of having Martins
viewpoint veer the next day, or the
next hour, to meet her own secret
conviction Martin seemed satisfied,
and all their little world accepted her
as a matter Of course. But under It
all Cherry knew that something young
and irresponsible and confident in her
had been killed She never likedy to
think Of the valley. of the fogs and the
spokes Of sunlight under the redwood
aisles, Of AIiX and the dogs and the
dreamy evenings by the fire And es-
pecially she did not like to think of
that eighteenth birthday, and herself
thrilling and ecstatic because the
strange young man from Mrs. North's
had stared at her, in her sticky apron,
with so new and disturbing a smile
in his eyes.

sioepily now, although even this long
day had not paled her cheeks or visi-
bly, tired her.
AT ten they stumbled out, cramped

foreheads with rush of icy mountain

"Is this the placer yawned Cher"

"This is the place, Baby Girl; FL
