The wisp of humor seemed
wasted on the young man. Mr..
Baxter, if you don't start now,
you'll be late for your broadcast" ;"
'Oh, bother the broadcast =

he's in the 500 at Indianapolis.
But tell me now Il insist =" for
suddenly he had to know What
do you think of Moondays'? And
Fathers House? And Second
Harvest? And - what is your
opinion of the body of my work?
of my place, shall we say, in
American letters?"
HERE was a long and (what
used to be called pregnant pause.
mfr. Baxter, since you insist on
my telling you this Il do not
think you have any place in Amer
lean letters"
On Kenneth Charming Baxter's
face there was no mark, but the
look was that of a man who has
been sharply flicked by a leather
whip.
MY dear boy. -"
Il think you are the most over
rated writer in America today"
the words of Sheldon Dicks poured
through the vents that suddenly
had been opened after having been
sealed for years. Every age has its
forgotten heroes and its renowned
nonentities. Their pan is their own
lifetime or a part of it and they
fash in it with the spectacular i'm
permanence of freflies. When Mel
vile was a neglected customs
Inspector, for instance, there was a
whole covey of lady writer's being
discussed in the serious reviews as
if they were the female counter
parts of Tolstoy and Tngenev."
Except for the fact that his teeth
clenched around the bit of his pipe
more severely than usual, Baxter
managed to look like the poised,
confident Man of Letters who has
received not one but a brace of
Pulitzer Prizes.
'At least / admire your frank
ness. Naturally your -uh - sub
normal estimate of my literary
powers will not have the slightest
bearing on our professional rela-
tionship."

THE CELEBRITY
Continued from page fifteen

of the wing chair and the mild
hammered ghost of a secretary
bending over him in attentive sub
mission.
As Baxter signed the first letter,
thanking a reader for calling him
''his favorite writer since Gals
worthy, an impulse prompted him
to realize that in all these years,
nearly ten it was now, Sheldon
Dicks had never volunteered an
opinion of any one of the five
novels he had typed and proof
read 50 conscientiously.
'By the way, Sheldon" Baxter
said without looking up, what do
you think of the new book?"
Sheldon Dicks sensitive, bird
like face betrayed no emotion. Il
don't feel it my place to comment,
sir" he said.
Baxter frowned. 'But after all,
Sheldon, we're = we're more than
author and secretary now. I would
say we've gotten to be friends" j"
It was true that Baxter had
advanced Dicks as much as five
hundred dollars on occasion, to
meet such emergencies as the death
of his mother and the collapse of
one lung. And during the last year
or so. Baxter had fallen into the
habit of lunching with Dicks at
the cottage. during which time he
would relax from the rigors of his
work by chatting with Dicks of
politics, the state of literature,
modern art, the aerial ruts of tele-
vision and other subjects of the
moment.
OFTEN he found that Dicks ideas
and phrases could be fitted quite
neatly into his own work in prog
ress. Dicks has nice mind"
Baxter had conceded to his wife.
II would sooner talk with him
than with half the writer's and pub
fishers | know"
So now Baxter looked up at his
secretary and repeated his ques-
ton. Seriously, Sheldon, what is
your honest opinion of Moon
days'?" When he noticed the
younger mans hesitation, he
added, go ahead, l won't bite
your head off. I'm not insisting
you tell me it's better than War
and Peace.

another T. S. Eliot or William
Faulkner or even poor K. c. Bax-
ter, I say that is splendid = pro-
vided you do not cultivate this
ambition on my. time or with my
knowledge. In other words, no
grubby little manuscripts showed
under my nose with a sniveling If
you like this enough l wondered if
you'd be good enough to show it to
your publisher"
Sheldon Dicks did have a manu-
script, a number of them in fact.
and he couldn't help wondering
how Kenneth Claiming Baxter
had got his start. Had he sprung
fully blown as a Famous Novelist
out of some publishers brain? But
he put the question and the imper-
tinence out of his mind. A room of
his own in the writing cottage and
seventy-five dollars per week
seemed a perfectly good reason for
saying, Il promise not to infiict
any manuscripts on you. Mr..
Baxter"
SOMEWHAT to Baxter's surprise,
Sheldon Dicks turned out to be the
most satisfactory secretary ever in
his employ. He was efficient. He
was unobtrusive. He was resource
full. He was able to answer the fan
mail without even bothering to
consult the author. And Baxter
had to admit that the letters were
every bit as good as if he had com
posed them himself.
Before the end of the first year
young Dicks, on his own initiative,
was writing Baxter's lectures for
him, and even magazine articles.
It rather gave Baxter a start to be
told by a friend of his at the Lotus
Club that his article ON What
Think Of Our Younger Novelists''
was one of the finest bits of critical
work the author had done. Quite
frankly, old boy" his friend had
said with an ingenious twinkle, Il
was beginning to think you were
going to seed, but this piece proves
you have wit and vitality and ideas
to spare"
In ADDITION, Sheldon Dicks had
rare gifts as a typist. In the course
of transcribing a Baxter manu-
script, he would tighten the. SEN
tences, improve the syntax, judi
ciously change a word or sharpen a
phrase 80 that when the finished
copy was submitted to Baxter's
publishers, the editor wrote that
he was happy to see that the old
master, like fine wine, is definitely.
improving with age"
One day after Sheldon Dicks had
been with Baxter for a number of
years and was so firmly established
in the Baxter menage that he was
referred to by Mrs. Baxter and the
household staff as The Shadow, he
came into the authors study to in
form his lord that it was time to
