After All It Was Not a New
Departure.
By F. A. MITCHE1.
"Mary," said Ernest Warfleid, "we
shall have to ignore Christmas this
year. I'm sorry, knowing as I do
how you and the children love the day
and delight in making preparations for
it, that such a course Is necessary.
But it costs money, and money I have
not. Indeed. 1 am afraid this Euro
pean trouble is going to throw me out
of business."
The words were spoken by the hus
band and father at the breakfast table
shortly before Christmas. He had
served an apprenticeship with a pub
lishing firm, saving his money, In
which he was assisted by a frugal
wife, until he had accumulated $10,000.
This he had used to set himself up
In business, relying for success upon
an idea he had conceived that he pos
sessed a faculty for discerning those
qualities In a novel which are calcu
lated to please the public. In this he
was disappointed. The public did not
seem to fancy the books he published,
and he lost most of his capital. Then
came the war, and no one had money
to buy books. The prospect looked
very gloomy.
"I am perfectly willing. Krm-st." re
plied his wife, "to do anything you
deem necessary."
"I know you will, my dear. It's the
disappointment to the <-lii dren that
troubles me."
"I will sec that the children are sat
isfied with what we may be able to
do for them."
The husband made 110 further re
mark. turning over the pages of the
morning paper listlessly. He did not
hurry to go to busiuess, for there was
little to do when he got there. Final
ly his eye struck an advertisement and
ho threw down the paper with a groan.
"That novel. 'A Mystery of a Mir
ror,' has reached a sale of 100.000 cop
ies. It was offered to me. and I de
clined it. There's not a particle of lit
erary merit In the whole book. What's
a publisher to do, I'd like to know,
when the public will take in such rot
as that ami won't rend real litera
ture?"
"The critics say that 'A Mystery of
a Mirror' is Ingenious." said his wife.
"What's ingenuity to do with litera
ture? I tell yOu there's no literary
taste any more."
The wife was thoughtfully silent for
awhile, then said:
"We have for centuries been judging
literature by the same old standard,
and I am beginning to think that we
are partly wrong. According to this
standard, there Is no merit in the work
of a detective story writer who has
made a great reputation and a fortune
besides. Our literary magnates say that
there Is no literary merit in these sto
ries. I once thought so myself, but X
am beginning to doubt it."
"There's money in them—that is, in
some of them—at least for the author.
Whoever wrote 'A Mystery of a Mir
ror' has made a small fortune. It's a
dollar book, and 10 per cent royalty on
a hundred thousand copies is $10,000.
If I had accepted the rotten stuff I
might have made that out of it my
"Never mind. dear. Better luck next
time. I think myself that publishing
a novel is like buying a ticket in a lot
tery. if you succeed in tiding over the
present trouble I hope you will put
your money into something that isn't
so risky."
Wartieid made no reply, but rose
from the table with a sigh, kissed his
wife and children and went to his busi
ness. As soon as he had gone the wife
and mother gathered her children about
her and. taking them into her confi
dence. told them that papa had lost
money in liis business ond had request
ed that they ignore tile coining Christ
mas. She had a plan that she thought
would make the anniversary just as
pleasant as usual. Slie didn't say what
it was. but pledged every child to make
no mention of Christmas till Christmas
came. They were all agog to know
what the plan was. but she would not
tell them. Nevertheless all agreed that.
011 papa's account, they would do Just
what their mother wished.
Whatever preparations for Christ
mas Mrs. Wartieid made she kept her
own counsel. If gifts came into the
house in advance she contrived to re
ceive them herself and hide them.
But. whether they came or not. her hus
band and c hildren were ignorant of the
fact. The husband being absent dur
ing the day and the children at school
there was ample opportunity to take In
articles without their knowing any
thing about it. The children, reposing
every confidence in their mother, made
no complaint at not receiving funds tc
•pond for gifts for each other, for mam
ma had told them that she would
provide presents for each to give.
When Christmas eve came the
younger children insisted on hanging
up their stockings. Their mother made
no objection to their doing so, for she
had told her husband that she had pro
vided a few inexpensive toys to fill
them. After the youngsters were in
bed she brought out the packages. Her
husband could not see that they were
Inexpensive, but made no comment. If
his wife was keeping a secret from
him he was keeping one from her. He
had lost every dollar of his cnpltal and
was expecting on tlie 1st of Jauuary to
close out his business. What he would
then do he did not know. The horrors
of poverty stared him in the face.
Before going to bed Mrs. WarfleKl
slipped back into the dicing room,
where the stockings were hanging, and
deposited a number of packages that
she took from hiding places marked
for and from different members of the
family. The dining room had been se
lected for these gifts because there
were in it a very large open fireplace
and an ample chimney through which
Santn Claus could get his fat body.
Besides. Mrs. Warfleid intended that
the family Christmas should begin at
breakfast time. It was then that the
gifts would be distributed, and it
would be impossible for her to conceal
any longer her plan for the celebration
of the day.
Christmas morning epened bright
and crisp. The Warfleid children were
up. as usual, at daylight pulling down
their stockings and diving iuto them.
Their mother joined them and forbade
I heir opening any of the packages ex
cept those that Santa Claus had
brought. A bright Are blazed and
crackled and snapped on the hearth,
joining iu the festivities and adding to
the children's happiness.
"Why, mamma." said one, "1 thought
we were not going to have this kind
of a Christmas this year."
"I didn't say that, i said that i bad
an especial plan for thte year's Christ
mas."
"What is it?"
"Walt."
Mr. Warfleid came down and in the
merry scene forgot for the moment
the troubles in which the merrymak
ers were equally interested, though
they were lguorant of them. He per
mitted little Billy to show him bis
jumping jack and consented to pull
the string that worked its arms and
legs He was obliged to kiss Molly's
doll and take uotice of how it closed
its eyes when it lay ou Its back. Mrs.
Warfleid was as cheery as the Chil
dren.
"She doesn't know the worst," said
her husband to himself, "or she could
not keep up this way."
The thought brought back the gloom
to his face, but his wife kissed it
away with a smile.
Then his eyes took lu the numerous
bundles she had stacked about the
fireplace, and he could not refrain
from giving her a look as much as to
say. "Why did you go to such ex
pense?" But she gave him another
kiss, and the children were constantly
forcing him to Inspect more gifts. And
so it was that he got through this
Christmas ordeal, with trouble at the
door, better than might have been ex
pected.
When the children had emptied their
stockings all sat down to breakfast.
Thus far it seemed that no gift had
been provided for papa. After he had
asked the divine blessing he said to his
wife: 1
"I am glad, my dear, that you have
acceded to my wishes in one respect
yon have not Inflicted a Christmas gift
upon me."
"Lift your plate." was the reply.
Warfleid did as he was bidden and
revealed an envelope addressed to him.
Opening it, he took out a check payable
to his wife and indorsed to him for
$11,655.
"What's this?"
"Stanford Bros.' check to me for roy
alty on 'A Mystery of.a Mirror.""
Warfleid looked at his wife inquir
ingly. He evidently did not under
stand.
"I wrote the novel." she continued,
"and sent it to you anonymously. I
received it back with a printed unavail
able card. 1 sent it to other publish
ers. and they all declined it. Finally
Stanford Bros, consented to bring It
out They are a new firm and have
adopted a new plan of judging of man
uscripts. They circulate them among
a large number of persons such as may
be expected to reatf them when pub
lished. Nearly all these approved.
They published the book on the usual
terms. This is my first remittance,
but 1 understand from them that the
hook is still selling and will sell for
some time."
There was so uiucli of mortification
mingled with this announcement that
the authoress arose fsorn the table and
put her arms about her husbaud's
neck. Then at a sign from her the
children followed her example, each
giving him a hug and a kiss and all
crying:
"Glad you got your Christmas gift,
papa!"
When he..bad Ixsen duly bugged and
kissed Into a frame of mind acceptable
to his wife and children be took up the
check again, looked at its face, turned
it over and looked at Its back and said:
"What do you propose I shall do
with it. sweetheart?"
"Whatever you think best"
"I shall do whatever yoo think best''
"Wrbat use should be made of It Is
for future consideration. For the pres
ent it is enough for us to know that
I have the wherewithal to give the
children a merry Christmas, and, as for
you and me. well, we kDow that we
have a new start"
Later Warfleld proposed that he con
tinue the publication of Action, leav
ing his wife to decide what he should
issue anij what decline. But she re
fused to make the trial and persuaded
him to confine himself to What was
less like a lottery. However, she de
voted herself for a time to hunting
for some field that was needed and
neglected and finally found one which
she recommended, and her husband,
following tier advice, succeeded ad
mirably.
Christmas day was thereafter in the
Warfleld family a double celebration.
It tvaa not only Christmas, but an an
niversary of their being tided over a
golf of poverty and th« beginning of
plenty.
