Saltwater, Minnesota, Thursday April 10, 1923.

AS his guests departed at an early
morning hour, Bill strobe about his den,
where the fragments of the feast still lay
scattered about. Stopping suddenly, and
placing his chubby index finger to his
brow, while a smirk of shrewd expression
encompassed his massive features, he ex-
claimed "by heck! Eve got it." Seat
ing his bulky frame in a great leather
upholstered chair, he snatched writing
pad from the nearby table and feverishly
wrote a few lines. Then grasping the
telephone, he ordered an "A. D. T." to
Parlor B at once. The messenger re-
sponded promptly, and Bill, answering
the tap at his door, passed the messenger
the slip of paper, now sealed in an en-
velope, and with it fve-dollar note, say
ing pompously, Tribune Office, and get
it into the morning edition, kid" The
lad beamed with pleasure at the sight of
his sudden wealth, and, with "Sure
thing Boss," started OH run for the ele
vator. Bill closed and locked the door,
addressed, and, clad in a gorgeous bath
robe, prepared for his ablutions, after
which, he donned his pajamas, and, with
a bound, tumbled into bed.
At the fashionable girls boarding
academy, an instructor in elocution and
dramatics, young woman of refinement,

before her. Suddenly her eye caught a

for a moment, then, carefully tearing out
the cad" she slyly tucked it into her
bodice, pushed back her chair, and left
the table. Hurrying to her room in the
faculty apartments, she spread the item
upon her desk and read again
"Wealthy middle-aged business man
wishes to meet refined, charming, and edu
Gated lady of twenty-five to thirty-fve
years, respectable and matrimonially in
clined. Address X, care of Tribune"
Miss Lucy Wells carefully penned few
words in reply, sealed them in an envel-
ope, and mailed it to the Tribune Office.
The same afternoon brought messenger
from the Tribune to her classroom door
with "a message. Handing the boy
liberal "tip," she opened and read : "Meet
me promptly at eight o'clock, Thursday
evening" at Broadway and Fifth Avenue.
Wear white ribbon, and I will wear a
red rose" Signed, "X."
Blushing quite perceptibly, Miss Wells
fastened back to her waiting class, and as
she tucked the envelope into her bodice
for safe keeping, she inadvertently
dropped its contents, .unnoticed, upon the
floor. The girls, scenting romance, ex-
changed sly winks, read it with a giggle,).
and slyly passed it around. The entire
class were now .straining to stihe their
glee, and the teacher, unaware of its cause,
finally remanded the tittsring goods to
their seats for further study.
The girls made full use of their infor-
nation, and that evening plan was
evolved for playing practical joke upon
the teacher and her prospective beau. So
it transpired that the following Thursday
evening, as VIM. Blunt paced to and fro
about the intersection of Broadway and
Fifth Avenue, anxiously and eagerly
watching for the appearance of fem
inine charmer bedecked with white rib
bon, he thrust out his chest and adjusted
his red rose and necktie of maroon and
gold for the twentieth time.

MODERN WRITERS

By Mr.. X. L. NJ.

HE man who enjoys corking mys-
terry story can also enjoy book that
probes deep into unknown or little
known phases of the soul if ably and en-
tcrtainingly presented. Woodrow Wilson
is said to be an invcterate reader of de-
tective stories; it is also said to be the de-
sire of every writer to turn out at least
one novel of this type. When the brilliant
@. K. Chesterton and the dramatist, A. A.
Milne, turn their abilities into this line
we must accept the statement as a fact.
Edgar Allen Poe was a master of the
gruesome tale, and he' is classed among
the literati. The Open Sesame to the door
of public favor and the inner circle lies
within the command of every sincere
writer who will conscientiously endeavor
to present a work that is faithful in treat
ment; the success from a commercial
standpoint should be considered but it
should be secondary.
A book does not become literature sim
ply because prejudiced critic acclaims
it as such. There is a quality that estab-
fishes it as above ordinary books, and
this is apparent in all the works of every
great writer. In Joseph Hergesheimer's
colour and form. Each book is a master
piece, work of art, and the creator is
an artist with an exigent discrimination.
His technique is perfect, his sense of in
tegrity unsurpassed.
We know H. L. Mencken better as
associate editor of that sutra sophisticated
periodical, The Smart Set Magazine, than
as an essayist of distinction. The average
American reader would not care for
Mencken and his works, as he is not -un-
duly salacious, neither is he prude. He
writes sincerely of matters that are of in
tcrest to intelligent, well educated persons.
He coins many new words, trick that ap-
pears cheap for the average writer, but
there is spark of originality about
Mencken that relieves any sensed tardi
ness. Whatever may be said for or
against him, we must recognize him as
brilliant thinker and writer who is en-
tirely free of hypocrisy.
Mencken is a literary radical, and al
ways has been. No person is above being
made the target for his relentless attacks;
he casts reflections upon the moral char
acters of men whom we have accepted
as national heroes; he terms the Bible
the greatest sideshow on earth. Washing
ton was drunkard, a profigate and
libertine if we are to accept Mencken's
written word. Any writer can ridicule
a religion or an individual who cannot
retaliate in kind, and get away with it.
Mencken does No matter how we feel
along these lines we will concede him
verdict of extenuating circumstances foI
his sincerity in expressing convictions that
he harbors is evident
When II. L. Mencken is mentioned we
Immediately think of George Jean Ma
rhan associated with him in the editorial
Offices of the same magazine. Nathan is
primarily dramatic critic, and, in the
estimation of the writer. the most able in
the country. He is also an essayist, but
he does not rank with Mencken. Nathan
is one critic who under page eis.Col. 81

wv real estate Qealer, ana mdn-aOOut-
town, stood at window of his
suite of rooms, described as "Parlor B."
in the Merchants Club, and gazed Ian
guidly out upon the street below. "Bill,"
as he was familiarly known by the jovial
denizens of his habitation, all of whom
were his bosom companions, was true to
fiction, being "fair, fat, and forty"
"Br-r-r-r-r-ng!" sounded the telephone
in an adjoining room, which Bill called
his "den." 1t was quite literally appro-
priate for within its confines, there were,
in addition to a varied collection of al
legged art pictures done in oil, number
of ivory images credited with Chinese
origin. Rugs made from the skins of wild
animals were on the floor and the heads
and antlers of moose, deer and antelope
hung on the wall.
"Br-r-r-r-ng! Br-r-r-r-ng!!" came the
insistent call of the phone, and Bill,
reused from his dangerous mood, testify
tossed his half-smoked cigar into the dead
ashes of the open fireplace, and strobe
to the telephone.
"Hello! Blunt speaking!" said Bill in.
to the transmitter. "Say, you old geezer,"
answered laughing voice, "come on
down to the buffet. We've got Smirk
coralled down here, and the sly old wea-
sci has been caught red-handed! Yep
swiped prize chicken from the society
roost, and is going to ring the wedding
BELLS" Without reply, Bill slammed
the receiver upon the hook, crossed the
room to the doorway, pushed button ex-
tinguishing the lights, entered an elevator,
and was whisked rapidly to the lower
floor.
AS Blunt entered the buffet with his
usual brisk, swinging stride, a trio Of
convivial friends greeted him. "Oh! Ho!"
cried Bill, as he beheld the coy hammered
Smirk, who stood between a tall dapper
looking young lawyer and his companion
DR.. Price, an M. D. of athletic build.
Smirk smiled helplessly, and seemed only
to be awaiting fate that was ineluctable.
"Our prisoner pleads guilty to the charge
of kidnapping maiden's heart and hand,
to say nothing of the purse that goes with
them," announced the lawyer in profess
sional tones. "Read the law to the migrate,
for his surreptious and clandestine trea-
son !" ordered Bill in brusk and author
tive voice. "Yep-Treason, and deser-
ton to the enemy, call it," added DR..
Price.
Attorney Lewis arched his eyebrows,
cleared his throat, and, assuming the
august and dignihed manner of Judge
about to pronounce sentence, said, "It is.
the Judgment of this court that the defen
dant, James Smirk, shall, for his high
crime, be punished by providing ban
quet for the plaintiffs, VIM. Blunt, DR..
Price, and myself at date not later than
one month hence, and that the costs of
fhis present session. of Justice be also
fquidated by him!" Smirk glanced fur
lively upon each of his captors, and, turn
ing to bell hoy clad in tight fitting blue
uniform and visorless cap which sat upon
his head at a rakish angle, ordered
sumptuous repast to be served at once in
Parlor B.

ne Cnl1neS over Tie door OF an dQJa-
cent jewelry emporium finally rang out
eight strokes. The anxious Blunt had
not long to wait for the appearance of
his Juliet" In fact a score of them ap-
peared, seemingly from nowhere, and
every one of them wearing a conspicuous
white ribbon bow. To the amazed and
chagrined Romeo" it seemed that the
entire membership of the "Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union" had responded
to his call for helpmate. On they
came! All shades and sizes of feminine
beauty, giggling, winking, and titteripg,
straight for him. Hastily discarding his
red rose, he sought safety in flight, but
escape seemed impossible. Walking rapid
ly in an opposite direction from the ap
preaching host, he turned suddenly into
various establishments, only to be closely
followed therein on each occasion.
The crowd was constantly being augu
mented by more arrivals, and these were
joined by an ever increasing assemblage
of curious onlookers attracted from the
teeming thoroughfare. Blunt, leading this
impromptu procession of white ribboners,
had just emerged from large haber-
dashery where he had sought to lose his
when. directly in front of him very beau
tiful young woman sank to the sidewalk
with groan. The chivalrous Blunt in
stantly forgot his troubles, and went gal
lantly to the aid of the luckless charmer:
Assisting the lady to arise, he said, "Par-
don me Madam, but are you hurt?" Lean
ing heavily upon his strong arm, she
gazed gratefully up into his face and re-
Piled "1'hank you, very much indeed"
Then "Oh," she groaned softly, dts my
ankle 4 must have turned it. Please
call taxi; / must get home."
Bill realized, at once, that here was an
for escape. Beckoning cab
man, he handed the stricken lady into the
cab Then, obtaining her address, he
directed the driver, and stepping in, was
whisked rapidly away from his tormen-
tiers. Little was said between the two,
for Blunt was engrossed in deep thought
over the events of the evening "Ye gods
What will my chums say if they hear of
this! And the newspapers Horrible
thought Even now he could see the head
lines, featuring him, a wealthy batchelor
and clubman, in what not sort of tale
for the amusement of the public.
The cab rolled up aside the curb and
stopped with sudden lurch. Bill step
ped out, instructed the driver to wait, and
assisted the lady to the door of her modest
home. He remembered now that the lady
had informed him that she was a widow,
and the pair had even exchanged cards,
but, the cab being unlighted, neither had
been able to read them at the time.
Waving aside the widows cffer of taxi
fees, Bill politely bowed himself out,
leaving the lady in charge of an elderly
" oman who shared her home. Reentering
the cab, he called, "To the Merchants
Club please" and was soon alone in his
Gen. Withdrawing the lady's card from
his waistcoat pocket he read, ''Mrs. Jane

fingers through his, hair he exclaimed,
