PART - 'By ANNIE (Copyright. i:9:. by Ass "Our partnership must end." The girl spoke decisively. "I don't see the reason," objected the man. "We have been writing together very successfully for several weeks," she explained. "But we have reached a point in our work where each one can do better alone. If we stay to gether our influence on each other will be a real detriment to success. My work will take on the quality of yours; yours will become like mine. Our talents will develop if we work separately." In spite of the hurt In his eyes Gra ham Ford's lips twitched. "Perhaps I seem ungrateful." Nor ma Atwood went on. "I am really your protege rather than your part ner. I caie to the city with the in tention of devoting my life to newspa per and magazine work. All my ar ticles and stories were refused. When I met you I was utterly discouraged. I told you my dificulties. You read my stuff, showed me how to alter it into salable matter and introduced Ine to editors. Success came Immedi ately. I am selling eyerything I write. We have been working to gether. You write your things and I. write mine. Every morning you come here to my flat and we go over stories and give each other advice 42i suggestions. We have called our lelves literary partners. 'Yesterday the Arcade asked me to furnish them a daily story. These stories and my work will take all my time and these morning hours to gether must be given up." Ford's brows drew together. "I un derstand," he said briefly. "You offer two good reasons; you are so success ful. that you haven't time for me, and we can do better work without the as sistance of each other." Two weeks later Norma Atwood Weit to the office of the Arcade. "Mr. Mills." she said to the man aging editor, "you promised to pub lish a story of mine every day for an Indefinite period. This morning you sent back to me a bundle of my stories acconlanied by a letter tell ing me to write better ones if I allgupge. I ll1rrow. ~-J HJn VP ' "I Can Be a Partner--" wished the Arcade to use them. I've come to ask you what is the matter with them." The editor was a direct man and a frank one. "They lack snap and point. Your earlier stories were clever; these are flat. Write as well as you did a few weeks ago and no story will be returned to you." I few days later another bundle of stories was returned to her. One evening Graham Ford came to the little flat, It was his first visit since the dissolution of the partner ship. "How are you getting along?" he asked abruptly. "I am very busy," she began brave ly. "Are you selling much ?" "E~very writer has periods of fail ure." "What is the Arcade doing with your stuff?" "Sending it back to me." After a moment she added, "So is every other editor." "Brutes," he anathematised. "Let me see your stories," He went through them, cutting, transposing and adding whole para graphs. "These are good stories," he commended. "Try them on those editors again.' They will buy. You write well." She shook her head. "Norma, let's go back to our part nership. WViII you? I'm lonesome and unhappy. I can't write alone." "Every big magazine in the country is buying your work. You don't need me. You never needed me. But "I'm lonesome and miserable. I (10 need you. I want a literary partner and~ I want the other kind of partner, too. I want a wife, Norma. I love you, dlear, and I can't go on without you." "You will have to. I shall neither marry you nor resume our literary partne'rship." The next day she took the revised stories to the editor of the Arcade. He glanced over them. "Good stuff," he announced. "You've touched uip thean stnriena nds unt the re-aub 00LQ0 L 0 4 NE RS IINRICHSEN iciated Literary Press.) stance into them. I'll publish these and all others as good." A She gathered them up. "They are not for publication. I wanted to know something about them, and you have told me what I wished to know." Three months later, in response to a charmingly worded note, Graham Ford came to Norma's flat for dinner. The living-room had been refur nished and was a harmony of dull woods and soft colors. Before the grate fire was a small table set for two. Norma wore over her pretty, light gown a white apron. It was a well cooked dinner which the white-aproned hostess served. Gra ham Ford ate steadily and appreciate ly through the course. When the t meal was finished they carried the 0 table into the tiny kitchen. Graham looked about for the cook, but saw no one. f Norma pushed an easy chair before I the fire. le dropped into it and light- f ed a cigar. Norma, still wearing her V apron, sat on a small chair dnawn I close to his. t "Graham," she said in a low voice, "how do you like it-my little flat and t my dinner?" "It is a domestic paradise," he sighed. "Would you like to have it C all the time? You can if you want f to," she went on as he stared bewil. dered. "I refused you a literary wife. Will you take a domestic one? Sit still while I tell you about it. I was b so spoiled by my literary success that f I thought I had real talent. I ended i our partnership. After that I could t not sell a story. The only merit my stories possessed was the revision you gave them. With it they sold; without it they were worthless. ( "After we separated I realized that -that I loved you. When you asked -1 me to marry you I wanted to-I want ed to with all my heart. But I could not do it. I had nothing to give you in return for all you were ready to give me. I refused you and-and-I U went to school to learn to be a good h home-maker. I learned to cook, to ar range rooms, to shop economically. 2 I've practiced here in my little flat. trying to become proficient enough s to-to make your home comfortable and happy. I'm a literary failure, but N I am a good cook and now I can be a real partner-a useful one-if you-" But the rest of the sentence was left unfinished as the girl and the big white apron were drawn into the easy chair. a HOW TO PREPARE SPEECHES r s John Bright Considered What it Was I That He Wished to impress c Upon His Audience. h "Don't speak unless you have c something to say. Don't be tempted to go on after you have said it," wasn e the advice of John Bright, the greast 11 orator. His biographer, Mr. R, . B. O'Brien, says that he took great pains t< in the preparation of his speeches. He e thought the subject over night and v day, and sometimes committed the peroration and other important pas sages to memory, although in the main he trusted to the inspiration of t the moment- for the words in which u to clothe his ideas. Writing to a cor- f respondent in 1888, Bright said: a "As to modes of preparation for t speaking, it seems to me that every s man would readily discover what r suits him best. "To speak without preparation, es- o pecially on great and solemn topics, i is rashness, and cannot be recomn- f~ mended. When I intend to speak on t anything that seenms to me important, I consider wvhat it is that I wish to impress upon my audience. "I do not write my facts or my ar- r guments, but make notes on two or ii three slips of note paper, giving the e line of argument, and leaving the ii words to come at call while I am t speaking. There are occasionally short passages which for accuracy I v may write down as sometimes, almost i invariably, the concluding words or y sentences may be written." Upon one occasIon he gave Mr. (1. W. E. Russell some hints about speech making. "Of course," writes Mr. Russell, "I h cannot recall verbally what he said. y but It was like this: "'You can't prepare your subject o too thoroughly, but it is easy to over- E prepare your words. Divide your sub jects into two or three, no more, y main sections. For each section pre pare an "island." By this I mean a il carefully prepared sentence to clinch a your argument. Make this the con clusion of the section and then trust yourself to swim to the next island. Keep the best island for the perora- h tion of the speech, and then at once sit down.' " Just Baby's Size. In a car filled wvith ladies, a 96' e. pomnd dude sat wedged in tightly. Al o a street corner a fat woman, i'and- e somely dressed and with a baby in her arms, got in. The little dlude strug- ~ gled to hIs feet and touched hiis hat, politely, remarking facetlously: "Madam, wvill you take this seat?" The fat lady looked at the crevice lhe had left andl thanked him pleas. ant ly. "You a re very kind, sir," she said "'I think it will lust fit the baby." Anid it did.--New York Evening. SEVEN YEARS OF MISElY 11 Relieved by Lydia E. Pink am's Vegetable Compound. Sikeston, Mo. - "For seven years I iffered everything. I was in bed for four or five days at a time every month, and so weak I could hardly walk. I cramped and had backache and head ache, and was so /a nervous and weak that I dreaded to -see Anyone or h ve anyone niiv6 in the room. The doctors gave me medicine to ease me at those imes, and said that I ought to have an peration. I would not listen to that nd when a friend of my husband told im about Lydia E.
