From wlntrj gray to summers mystic

Out of the south you send your breath to

With Memory's waves
And In the incense of your flowing hair
My spirit laves.

Throbbing for me.
There in the south, as trembles the maiden

Van Valkenberg
in Literature $) $)
By HAYDEN CARRUTH
YOUNG Mr. Schermerhorn Van Valk
enberg’s attention was first attract
ed to literature when a melancholy
young novelist superseded hint in the
esteem ol' a certain lady. Young Mr.
Nan Valkenberg survived the defec
tion of the lady, but it set him to think
ing.
"A fellow doesn't seem to be worth
30 cents nowadays." he observed to
his friend, Fitzmorris, "unless he
writes."
"Going to try it?” asked Fitz.
"Not much. I can’t. What, do you
think l m going to sit up nights and
grind out things and have these beastly
editors send them back with one of
those printed slips saying how good the
story is, but how awfully sorry they
are that they can't print it? Well,
hardly.”
By which Fitz knew that Van Valk
euberg had tried it. or how did he knowr
about the beautiful slips? But Fitz
kept still; he was a sort of a pension
er on Van Valkenberg, and had learned
discretion.
"No," continued the other. "I know a
a better way than that. t‘s the name
of writing that counts doing it doesn't
matter. Something like What's-his
name—that fellow in What-do-you-call
hiin’s book- who said that it isn't heat
but the appearance of heat that you're
after.”
"Going to hire some clever chap to
do your writing?"
"No; though I thought of that at
first. Clever chap would build me up
a nice reputation, and then blackmail
me for the rest of my life. I know
these clever chaps. No; my plan is
this: I'll go around to two or three
of the leading magazine offices, and
just exchange checks with the cashiers,
and then, you know, it might happen
that some folks would just chance to
see the checks I got and that would he
pretty good proof that 1 was writing
for the magazines, wouldn't it?"
"Best in the world, l should say," re
turned Fitz. But aren't you going to
have trouble in getting the cashiers to
make the exchange?”
"Oh. I'll fix that somehow." an- j
swered Van Yalkeuberg cheerfully "You
just lie low and don't sav a word about
it and you'll see."
Youhk Mr. Van Yalkeuberg found ii
rather more difficult to carry out his
plan than he had expected. But through
a slight acquaintance with a clerk in
one office, and with a substantial bribe
to an a as!;! taut in another, he managed |
to get hold of two checks. The cashier
of a third leading publisher remained
Impregnable to a frontal attack, so the
ingenious Van Yalkenberg executed a
flank movement by arranging with the
advertising department, for a certain
amount of space, sending his check in
payment for an even hundred dollars
too much, and appearing an hour later
to apologize for the mistake, saying
that ho had carelessly left his check
book at homo, and so could not draw
another check for the correct amount,
so wouldn’t they plea e give him the
firm s check for tht .irac. which
the obliging advertisermanager did.
and the young man with the desire for
the appearauce of authorship departed
happy,
The next day at the club young Mr.
Van Yalkenberg took some letters from
hie pocket, and a little slip of paper
flutetred to the floor, quite by chance.
The friend with whom he was dining
picked it up and caught the name of the
publishing Arm as he did so.
‘‘Hello, t an," he commented, as he
returned it; "got a job with these peo
ple?"
"Oh, no,' answered Van Yalkeuberg.
slightly embarrassed; “no, not a Job
exactly, If you'll keep It quiet, though.
I don't mind telling you that I’m going
In for writing a little, JuBt to pass away
the time, you Know. That’s for a little
story I threw oft the other evening.”
’You don't say so! 1 didn't think
you had it In you," said the other,
frankly.
"Oh. it's nothing Easiest thing In
the world. By the way. here are a
couple of others—I’ve felt that I ought
not to (Minflne my work to one maga
sinp. you know. No more than right to
give 'em all a chance,”
“Certainly—be fair to them all. Van,”
said the friend, evidently much Im
pressed. “I suppose the next thing we
know you'll bare out a book."
‘‘Oh, time enough for that—Lima
enough for that.” answered Van Valken
berg. easily. “But, say—not a word
of this, remember. This thing of writ
ing is all right, you know, in a way—
great fun and all that—but I don't want
to pose as an author. Just think what
the fellows would say if they got
onto it!”
"Oh, you can depend on me. old man.”
was the reply, and Van Valkenberg felt
that he could. Nor was his trust mis
placed; inside of 24 hours every friend
of his in town had heard of what he was
doing, and he had blushingly disj.la. <d
the checks a score of times. Ueiufe a
week had passed the newspapers uad
items about the wonderful success in
literature of young Mr. Schermerhorn
Van Valkenberg. the son of—and so
forth, worth so many millions—etc.
It happened a fortnight later that
Fit/.morris was calling on his friend. ;
Van Valkenberg. "By the way.” he re
marked. “1 saw you driving in the park |
yesterday with Miss Skadbach.”
“Oh. yes; we're chummy again. You j
see. I’m an author now. as well as that |
other fellow.” answered Van Valken- I
berg .complacently.
"How your plan did work!” said Fitz.
admiringly.
"Oh. 1 knew it would."
"But won't folks begin to expect your ■
stories to appear in print soon?”
"That's all settled. I've announced j
that I'm writing under an assumed !
name, which I refuse to reveal. They
will have to pick out rny stories from
among those by new writers which ap
pear. My friends can each make his
own selection—it won't matter to me.” \
Just then a serving man appeared ;
with a letter. Van Valkenberg tore it j
open and read wit h an expression of ris- !
ing astonishment.
“Good heavens:” he said, at last. |
"here's a letter from the editor of Dod
dler’s Magazine saying that he has
heard of my recent success in writing,
and won’t I please let him see a short
story for Doddler's. I hadn't counted
on this. What can I do?”
Fitz having no available suggestion
to offer, Van Valkenberg arose and

paced the floor. “You see." he said,
“the Scadbaehs happen to know the
editor of Doddler’s. They’ve told him
of my wonderful success, of course. I
can’t give him a story to save my life.
He’ll expose me. What can 1 do?”
Fit/, remained silent. Van Valken
);■ took a half dozen turns about the
room, then his face lightened and he

TALE OF SCi TCH DESERTER
Promotion Being Too Slow Decamped
in Fv.Jl View of His
Regiment.
Gossiping about King Kdward's deer
stalking excursion to Glen Quoich.
a writer in the Tatler says: Quoich
near by is chiefly famous through its
small island being the residence of the
wild outlaw, Ewen Maephee. When
quite a youth Kwen had joined the
army, but promotion being too slow
to meet his ambitious ideas Kwen one
day coolly left the ranks and deserted
in full view of the regiment on parade. |
Ewen took to the hills, but when
his whereabouts became known a file
of soldiers went to arrest him. He was
captured and marched, heavily hand
cuffed, to the steamer. The vessel
had barely started when Kwen sud
denly bent down, throwing aside his
captors, and then, springing overboard,
bounded away with the bullets whist
ling about his ears. By leaping a
precipice he got clear away and burst
his handcuffs upon a rock.
After a time he built a hut upon th»
island in Loch Quoich, opposite the
lodge, but finding his life rather lone
some, he crossed the hills to a neigh
boring glen. He spied a buxom lassie
of 14 whom he already knew, and with
out more adt> he popped her on his
back and ran off with her to his island
home. Here they were married; she
bore him five children and proved a
second Helen Macgregor. Ewen was
monarch of all he surveyed; he never
paid rent, so a neighboring farmer
seized his stock. Ewen's wife was
equal to the occasion; she got hold of
a gun and drove the party away.
Later on messengers of the law ap
proached the Island to capture her hus
band, but they were ignomtniously put
to flight by a few- of Mrs. Macphee's
well directed volleys. But the devo
tion of no avail; poor Maephee
died in prison.
