110.000 is a right tidy - little sum of
money if devoted to th ordinary uses

terrible lot of money wherewith to
gratify a passion for horse racing.
- "Virtually all of thl writing young
man's 110.000 royalty money on his first

us, too, you are to understand, yet we
had a fair right to presume that a book

months would. ven if th sale were
Jetting down some, go on winning out at

"Oh, yes, he was wiUlng to admit that

"And yet' said L "when you sold out

that lyou had mad ' th better of th

"Well, he'd thought at th time of

would b a fair shake alt around, he
said, but a th sales had turned out
so big since, why
"His attitude wa so childish that I
became a bit warm Over it la my
warmth I fell into parabl.
" 'Look her,' I said to th young
'author, you know a good deal about
horse racing, don't your
"'l wish I didn't, he replied, some
what mournfully.
" 'All right', said L "Now. supposing
that last fall you had sold ma a 1-year-old
colt that had won a number of big
take for you, but had gone a trifle
lame from over-racing eo lam, in fact
that you had concluded that th colt
wouldn't develop into a good 1-year-oJd.
and so wer perfectly willing to sell to
me at your own flgur.-
" "Supposing I had taken that colt and
patched him tip and sent him to the
races this spring, to find that he made
good for m right along and won "quite a
lot of money for me. Would . you. In
such a case, com to m with a booby
face and ask m for a share of th
profits earned by th colt you had been
o willing and eager to Mil m laat yeart
" "Would you consider yourself In any
way, even morally, if not legally, en
titled to any of that money r
Tfou'r right and I'm a cry baby,'
said th young man to that his game
neas asserting itself then. 'I hadn't
looked upon the matter In that light, but
I can s that it's th sm 'thing. Only
thing for m to do. 1 to writ another
book and then hang on, ehT
"I told him' to peel off his coat' and
go right at that other book and deliver
It to m at th earliest possible moment
gnd I gave him a check for advance roy
alties on th atlU unwritten book, at
that .
"I mention th case of this young au
thor because It is a typical on. With
respect to a book, no matter which way
the cat of popularity jump, most au
thor are Inclined to be 4laaatiaf!ed and
develop the notion that they are getting
the worst of it -. r
"You see, few of them are what you'd
call good gambler. They want a sure
thing every time. .
"Now, any publisher will tell you
that nowaday every book 1 mor or
lass of a ramble,, a every book by an
unknown writer I an absolute out-and-out
gamble. Th author In nln cases
out of ten expects th publisher to do'
all of th gambling and take all of th
chances. ' Th averag author I a strong
believer In th 'head I win, tall you
lose' system. , ... , , . ..
"Th majority of new authors want
th publisher to buy their bonk out
right They've heard that only about
one book in a hundred ever pay for th
printing, alectrotyptng and binding of
th first edition, and they don't Ilk
the -tvl shots. So they want to
ell outright - '
"If the book looks pretty good, and w
buy It aiitrlaht paying what w think
If worth which I always a rry Urn
enfc Indeed from what th author. think
It worth and th book is a go right
from th start, why, the author Is sulky
and disconsolate over It, ' He' fiad that
his book la a success, of course,- but he
has a chlldist feeling that his publisher
have don him, and hi pouting 1 aome
thlng dismal to contemplate. -
"If. on th other hand, th new author
give ear to th publisher' oounsel and
dispose of hi book on th royalty basis,
and th book fall dead, the writer not
getting anything Ilk a much out of it
a he would have got had b aold It out
right" Why, there again he has a griev
ance, and be fare forth into th high
way and byway and telle everybody he"
meet what a crafty, close-fisted Old
Scroog lot th publisher are.
"Occasionally there' an author who
take a sporting view of -all of these
thing, and in dealing with a man Ilk
that we' re a great deal mora inclined
to treat blra generously than with on
who doe th booby act and fill th air
with lamentations. -
"On of th most successful men now
on our list of author knew how to take
hi medicine when he first brought hi
ware to us. and he ha assuredly loet
nothing by it .
"The first book h gav to us on th
royalty basis. It wa a far sollder
plec' of notion than the averag. hut it
had a still birth. Couldn't give it away.
"ItTsam along at th wrong hour, or
omethlng, but anyhow he never got a
can) out of It. for we didn't- get back
th first cost, of putting th book on
th market ' and there wa th : usual
stipulation In th contract that 4.000
copies of th book had to b aold before
th author royalties ahould begin, W
couldn't get rid even of that first edi
tion of 1.000 cople. and o th author
didn't get a nickel out of hi book.
"But he didn't mak any complaint at
all. Said that he'd been taking chance
all hi Ufa, and that he never looked
for th color of money until h saw it
in hi hand. '
"But th next book he submitted to
u he said he'd rather sell outright be
cause he wa brok and had a family,
and needed th money. Ha named th
modest sum of 1(00, and w bought th
book at that figure. W had a good deal
of respect for thst writer on account
of the gam way he'd taken his failure
to mak th cost of hi pen and ink and
paper out of hi first book.
"Well, that second book wa th big
gest kind of a winner from th first
day it appeared on th counter. 'After
th first fortnight w wer browbeat
ing our binder because they couldn't
let n hav enough cople of th book.
"Th book started right off among th
six best sellers of th week, and in that
particular case w wouldn't havs felt at
all put out much less surprised, had
th author turned up and suggested that
he thought he ought to hav a lopk-ln
for soma of th big profit.
- "But he never cam "near us. - Didn't
emit a whin when all of - th news
papers. In their literary , review, wer
cracking hi book up to th aklea, and
when th publishers trad paper war
commenting upon th big aal th book
was having.
"If he had taken th usual petulant
and. peevish part of authors In such cir
cumstances, th fKOO for which h had
old th book would certainly hav been
all he'd ever have gotten out af it But
when th book had leaned past th (0.000
mark Inside of klx week, I held a little
conference with my partners, and w
sent for th author. . ' .
"It took him three or four day to get
around. t that although he waa right
in New York, and when he did appear
he looked to b wondering what I wanted
with him.
