"There's your novel. I ’ve read I t ”
"W ell?”
"There’s no uae of my trying to let
you down easy. Jim m y. I may as well
tell the truth. It's only fitted to be
read by the occupants of a lunatic
asylum ”
Jimm y looked a» If hla friend had
thrust a knife Into hla boaom. He was
ons o f a lot of artists who Inhabited
the same rookery and every man of
them on the verge o f starvation.
" I tell you what, Jim ,” continued the
speaker, " I ’m a practical fellow at bot­
tom and have no business w ith either
a rt or literature. I have a scheme for
working off this stuff you’ve w ritten on
a friend who ,s a publisher. H e ’s prac­
tical too. I ’m going to see him.”
"Do you w ant the manuscript?”
"No.”
John Melcher, the merciless frlend-
crlttc, went to the publisher and made
a proixJSWon which Induced him to
publishC The Kiss of Fire." Melcher
,vs« to rake charge of the Introduction
o f the hook to the public In hla own
way. H e relied Im plicitly on the mem­
bers of his gang, who were to act as a
deq ue under hla direction. H ardly had
the »>ook been Issued whan all of
them, having been coached by M el­
cher. went In different direction».
Each »topped upon passing a stand
or store where books are »old and ask­
ed for ’T h e Kiss of Fire.” When told
that they had no copy of the book, the
Inquirer would be struck dumb w ith
amaaement and hurry away. Before
nightfall of the first day there had
been from half a dozen to a doxen
Inquiries for the novel In every book­
shop In the city. Melcher had instruct­
ed his band to work the trumpeting
and the Inquiries among the book­
sellers w ith equal seal, well knowing
that to "make a market” w ithout pro­
viding a supply would be useless.
The booksellers gave small orders
fo r the book, and occasionally some
one to whom the gang sounded Its
praises bought one. M eanwhile Melcher
was not idle. H e purauaded a friend,
Olcott, who was the leader of a literary
chib, to read the story. The reader’s
report upon It was, "F o r Idiots, fools
and lunatics, the moat remarkable
work of the century.” Melcher went
about telling all hook lovers th a t Ol­
cott had pronounced ’T b s Kiss of
F ire ” the moat rem arkable work of
the century, fallin g to mention for
w hat c la n of readers. Before Olcott
heard o f hla criticism and had cor­
rected I t a n u m b e ro f people who were
ambitions of being up In the literature
o f the day had read the novel. None
o f them could understand why it was
remarkable, but since Olcott said so
none of them dared say It was n o t
One Independent fellow pronounced It
"rot,” but the best “rot” he had ever
read. A ll young girls entering society,
bearing of the commotion It was creat­
ing and assuming for that reason the
hook must be a model of literary ex­
cellence, pronounced It “perfectly love­
ly." Then It was announced as “the
best seller of the week ”
Checks began to come In from the
publisher. They were sent to Melcher,
who apportioned them between the au­
thor and hla gang. Thus encouraged,
the claque worked on. But furth er e f­
fo rt waa not necessary. The flame had
been kindled, and If Melcher had led
them In an attempt to put It out they
could not have done so. I t must burn
till tbs fuel was exhausted. The crlt
lea abused the book. Inveighing against
tbs decline of literary taste, hut they
were not heeded. Every one read and
talked about ‘T h e Kiss of F ire.” Then
suddenly, at the end of three months,
the babel ceased. Everybody had read
the book and was ready for the next
wonder.
About this time the literary editor of
a prominent magazine fell 111, and Ben

of those lesser captains of
finance and moderately swol­
len multim illionaire» whom

word». In fact he waa so quiet and
unobtrusive In hl» way» that when
our W a ll street man came to me w ith
a tip on Shenatone be began by asking
I f I knew him.
The city editor o f a newspaper is
expected to know everybody, so that
question w ill serve to Indicate bow
inconspicuous Shenstone was.
I re­
sponded th a t 1 had never had the
pleasure of meeting that particular
pirate, but I had beard of his works.
“H e la the active agent In a big
speculative pool that Is being organ­
ized,” continued Miles, the W a ll street
man. ’T h e operations w ill probably
be sensational enough to call for a
spread story.”
Upon this hint I looked up Shen
stone in the “morgue,’’ ns we call the
great collection of clippings arranged
In envel<»pee and carefully catalogued
that every im portant newspaper keeps
for reference. There was an envelope
marked “ShenBtone, Edgar, Broker,”
nut Its contents were disappointing. I
was particularly grieved to learn that
we had no portrait, and a fte r various
unsuccessful attempts to procure one I
sent a photographer to snapshot M r.
Shenatone, but he failed.
In the course of that week a w riter
named Sidney Colbert called to see me
and asked for work. H e wa» a genius
to his way, but eutlrely useless on a
newspaper. His vocation was litera­
ture, and he had w ritten some very
good Btnff that had been printed in the
best magazines, but he bad no money
sense, no push and no »pJJiude for en­
during poverty.
I don’t ‘know how It happened, but
somehow In the course of breaking to
Sidney the sad news that be must con­
tinue to starve because neither the
Dally Record nor any other human In­
stitution had any use for him I men­
tioned the unsuccessful search for
Slteustone’s portrait. Thereupon Btfl
ney fell Into deep thought The fu r­
rows by which his handsome counte­
nance waa wrecked and riven became
positively palQfal to behold, and he
maintained so long a alienee th a t I be­
gan to think of ways to be rid of him.
Suddenly he said:
" I can get yob a likeness of M r.
Shenstone." And then, w ith earnest­
ness, “ I f I give you my word that I
w ill not fall w ill you—er—could you"—
E
The resemblance Is so close an to .be
really ridiculous, considering the d if­
ference In our circumstances.’
I [tald Nldney the additional $15, and
though 1 subsequently learned that
be himself bad posed for the picture
I never regretted the bargain
About two months later a somewhat
mysterious stranger called upon me
to Inquire for Sidney Colbert's a d ­
dress. Suspecting thia man to be a
collector, I declined to give the de­
sired Information. Ou the folk,wing
day a law yer from the W a ll street
district came w ith the same request.
U a assured ms that be was acting In
my friend’s Interest I told him that
Sidney was Just recovering from an
Illness and was In miserable circum­
stances and that I would make It
warm for any one who annoyed him.
Then I gave the address.
I was not altogether easy In my
mind, however, and consequently I
called a t Sidney’» lodgings one even­
ing In the latter part of that week. H e
w
not at home, and nobody had
seen him for two days.
Much dis­
turbed, I went to see Miss Dean In
the studio building, where ahe dw elt
in girl bachelor fashion.
Miss Dean was quaking w ith nerv­
ousness, though she tried to conceal i t
I was sure that she had been pacing
the floor, which was littered w ith all
the evening newspapers. She began
by telling me that ahe did not know
where Sidney was, but when I smiled
upon her sadly she abandoned that de
ception and admitted that she did
know, but waa pledged not to tell.
"H e has been so 111!** she cried,
clinching her bands distractedly. "H e
ought to be in the country, where he
could be quiet and baye pure a ir to
breathe.”
"Is he In any sort of trouble I ” I
asked, and she »aid no, except th a t he
was very weak from Illness and
needed rest
”1» be a t work?’’
“Yes.”
"Then he w ill soon have some mon­
ey and can go out of town,” said I.
"Tw enty dollars a week!” she re­
sponded w ith withering scorn.
T hat was all I learned about Sidney,
but Miss Dean consented to speak more
freely of herself.’ I thought it my duty
to Inquire, because for all I knew she

"Great Scott!" I cried. “Is Shenatone

But this waa lost Upon Sidney. The

ever, I met her on the s treet

which ahe lived was barely sufficient
for her support, ahe had never gone In
debt. Indeed she had for a tim e pre­
served some small savings, h ut these
ahe had spent for Sidney daring hla
illness. Sidney did not know this, of
course. I t would never occur to him
that little expenses for a sick man’s
delicate provender could have any con­
siderable total.
" I saw Sylvia quite frequently a fte r
that, hat did not aee Sidney nor coqld
I get track of him, though I made va
rioua endeavors. A hint from Sylvia
gave me the Impression that the myste­
rious work In which Sidney was en­
gaged might uot be viewed w ith ap­
proval by a stern moralist, and this led
me to believe that he was employed by
Sheuatone. I t wus possible, however,
that he might he serving Shenatone’a

to such dishonesty, but In the hands of
the shrewd and reckless men who were
fighting Rhenstone’s |>ool my friend
would be a mere child. I t would be no
trouble at all for them to make Sidney
believe that black was white.
Sylvia was as careless as most worn
eu are of the ethics of business. H e r
sole anxiety In this m atter was for Sid­
ney's health. 1 made out that she had
either very meager reports of him or

afterw ard that I waa going through the

paragraph typew ritten upon the thin,
dirty yellow paper that they use:

could get no word of her, nor was 1
