The Little
Authoress
By NVILLARD BLAKEMAN
Walter Ewlng had Just tbat kind of
suavity thut U required of the editor
of a magazine. When author* came In
with their manuscript* he would grasp
them cordially by the hand, smllo upon
them, nsk them to be Rented nnd listen
to their Ion# talks about what they
hud to offer.
One day the prettiest little girl In the
world was admitted to Mr. (Swing's
sanctum. She came In with a smile I
not only to beat the oue with which he
greeted her, but. In slang phrase, "to
beat the band." He drew up a chair
for her close to his rosewood desk and
relieved her at once of a package she
carried by which he knew her for an
authoress. Then he brought lib ex
pressive eyes U|k>ii ber as If to say:
"Do tell me what I can do for you. I
am dying to serve you."
Then she began to talk. About
what? Everything? her bashfulness
about entering the field of literature,
the great re>ij>onslbllIt.v that must nec
essarily rest u|kiii editors, what won
derful powers of discrimination they
must have, the characters in her work,
a novel; her difficulty in finding a motif
and the many times she had rewritten
certain parts. For half an hour she
talked, the editor listening rather to
her sweet voice than what she said? he
had heard It all a thousand tluies be
fore?sometimes fancying that she was
a bird that had fiown Into his sanctum
to rest him from the hardest work In
the world? that of rending one manu
script after another through the long
dM.
When she went away be find prom
ised her that In order to give ber story
especial attention he would take it
borne with him and rend It. fur away
from the Interruption* constantly oc
enrrli:- during business hours. For '
some time after she had gone he sat,
with her warble still sounding sweetly
In his ears, thcu l?egan to write in
Mue pencil the word "return" on the
covers of n pile of manuscripts on his
desk, ^throwing each into a imsket be
side him. such as is commonly used
us a receptacle for soiled linen.
That evening, true to his promise,
he took the luanuscript home with him.
intending to read It at un early dutc;
but. whether the little authoress bad
made a deeper Impression on him than
the bundle or whether Iv had been 80
taken with her that he was In no bur
rv to set rid of ber. he put off Its ex
amination from day to day. Now and
again she would cull U|miii hlm. He
would greet her with the same a (Tn
bllltj as iH'fore. telling her that he
was deferring the examination of her
novel lill he felt in a moo:l to appre
ciate Its merits. The more delicate the
style and sentiment in a story tbe
more dlllicult It wus of detection.
Doubtless within nuothcr week ho
would feel Inspired to reiul tbe manu
script and decide upon Its merits.
The patience, the good nuture, of tbe
little authored were luexlinustlbl#.
She appreciated the editor's kindness
to ber. u stranger, and hoped lie would
uot hurry. lie invited her to drop In
occasionally, slncc be would always be
glad to talk with her about her liter
ary aspirations.
One day when the editor felt "in
spired" to rend the manuscript be had
taken home be looked for It In bis
room and did not tlnd It. Culling his
landlady, he made Imiulrles and learn
ed that she had gathered up some "old
truck." among them a lot of paper
done up In a bundle, and It had been
taken uway by tbe scavenger.
The editor turned pale. The manu
script of the little authoress had doubt
less gone to the dumping ground,
whence It would not l?e recovered. He
wrote her at once to know If she had
another copy, since he wished a friend
on whose literary Judgmeut he greatly
relied to read the story and had not
yet finished It himself. She replied
that she bad given him the only copy in
existence.
The nix months that followed were
wearing on the editor. For thnt period
be put the little authoress off with ex
cases. Then, there being no other way
out of the trouble? nt least so he put It
to himself? he asked her to marry him.
When she refused him she took away
his last prop, lie had a Taint hope
that the estrangement which usually
comp* between a man who has been
refused and the lady who has refused
him would lead the little authoress to
keep away from him and the lost
manuscript would In time be forgotten.
But she continued to call for It in per
son. always with the same good natur
eil smile, never chiding him for the
delay, (tnd every time she left him be
assured her that by the time she came
again he would sorely be ready to give
her his literary opinion on her work
and did not doubt that it would bo ac
cepted by the magazine.
The lady's refusal of him made him
cognizant of the fact that she was
much more to him than he had sup
posed. After n month more of mental
distress he confessed to the loss of the
manuscript and that he couldn't pos
sibly live without her.
She clapped her hands In glee. "And
1. too. have a confession to make," she
said. "Friends of mine had sent you
manuscripts which they proved, by
sticking together certain of the leaves,
were returned without having been
read. It occurred to mo to try blank
pnper on you."
However, she concluded to forgive
him and accept him. And now she Is
helping him to git rid of manuscripts
without reading them.
