"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

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

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

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

to," she went on as he stared bewil.

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

without it they were worthless. (

But the rest of the sentence was
left unfinished as the girl and the big
white apron were drawn into the easy
chair.

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

At last she said: "I heard a noise
