Strikes a Rich Find. ••I was troubled for aeveral years THE HAND OF FATE (OrlcinaL) Mr. Creswell bad refused me bis (Uu^hter because I bad cboasw litera­ ture for a profession. I left biiu * satisfied. not only with Mtn. but with my choice. I’aaslng from tha library to tbe drawing room. I Informed Em­ ma Creswell of her father’s decision. Emma had no more confidence In the productiveness of literature than b- r father, but ahe loved me and wanti me, and me only, for her husband. She wai wealthy in her own right, but I had no intention of marrying a girl who would feel when ahe married me that ahe would be obliged to support U®. ••Abandon literature.” she said to me, “take a position In father’s office, and all will go well.” ••I love literature, and so long as i have hopes of success I would not be satisfied to abandon IL You and I would both regret such a course.” ••perhaps you are right,” ahe replied thoughtfully. “You had better test your ability to please the public.” I went away wishing that Emma was not so practical. Nevertheless 1 determined to abide by her wishes. 1 had finished a novel which I knew was as good a piece of work as I was ca­ pable of doing. It had the freshness of youth in It. and the plan afforded Just such opportunities as my abilities most needed. I determined to use every ef­ fort to secure its publication and stand or fall in literature on Its success or failure. I tried half a dozen publish­ ers before my work, “The Hand of Fate,” was accepted. Then I spent several weeks reading the proofs. By the time it was published 1 had spent a year writing it, six months revising it and the rest of two years getting it into print. If paid at the rate of $150 a month for iny labor. 1 would receive $3,000. Should the work be a great success I might make as much as $50,- 0U0. 1 had a strong conviction that it would be a success. The book was finally launched. At the end of the first month I inquired of the publisher what the sales had been and was told that 1,500 copies had been disposed of. My royalty on the proceeds was $225. I was very much encouraged. The second month the sales dropped to 500 copies. I was con­ siderably cast down, but my publishers told me of a number of novels that had paid largely after lying on the shelves of bookstores for a year or more. Then came January and Feb­ ruary, and my royalty for the first was $1.50 and for the second 25 cents. I went to Emma plunged in profound grief, admitted tny failure and was ready to take to tbe ignoble calling of business. Emma’s eyes filled with tears. “Wait," she said. “This is a very dull season for books, I hear. Perhaps the sales will be better In the spring, when people begin their light summer read­ ing." I was ready to catch at a straw and concluded to take her advice. One day toward the end of 5Iarch I was surprised to receive a note from my publishers that the sales of “The Hand of Fate” had suddenly picked up and a new editiou had been order­ ed. In May I was Informed that the second edition had been exhausted and a third was in press. I was delighted. “ ‘The Hand of Fate’ Is working out a career for me,” I exclaimed. “I shall follow tbe profession I love.” One thing, however, I could not un­ derstand—while one editiou after an­ other was being sold and I was daily expecting to be pointed out in clubs and drawing rooms as the new literary light I went everywhere without excit­ ing th« least attention. On the 1st of July 1 received a check for $1,243, be­ ing my royalties on 12,430 copies. I was wild with delight. Going to Em­ ma, 1 waved the bit of paper over her head triumphantly. Having done so well financially, I made up my mind to spend the summer in the moutains with Emma. After an enjoyable outing I returned to the city expecting to find some word from my publishers as to the sales of “The Hand of Fate.” Among the numerous letters at my rooms there was nothing nbout tbe l ook. 1 cnlled on the pub­ lishers. who looked the matter up for me and reported a sale of five copies since their last statement The in­ formation acted upon me like a cold shower bath on n winter morning. In November — Emma returned. Be- fore her arrival 1 wrote my publishers for information and received the fol- lowing reply: There have been no sales of "The Hand of Fate" »Ince Auxust. The very peculiar reception of thl» bock by the public ha» puzzled us beyond measure. In the case of new novels we usually sell from one to two thousand coplee when the work Is Is­ sued. Then If the book gains In favor the sales are coincident with more or less talk about the book. In no case have we sold HOW copies of a novel without Its becoming known and talked about by the public. I took this letter to Emma. She read It and turned to me with a great deal of sympathy In her kind eyes. "I am at least glad that you tried the experi­ ment You will be the better fitted to work In another field.” I entered her father’s counting room. That was fifteen years ago. He has re­ tired. and 1 atu at the head of the busi­ ness. Recently ray wife and I decided to move Into a larger bouse.
