A CLEAR G*iSE.
Frank Vanbmgh. held a good appointment on the staff of The Daily Argus,
and always had more literary work on
hand than he knew how to get through.
He might therefore be considered a "rising" man. He had written a little book
of essays, and the critics had told him
that he had a style, which is perhaps the
highest praise that critics deal'in nowadays. On the other hand, his onevolnme
novel had been pronounced crude, morbid and overanibitious, and had gone into three editions, whence it may easily
be seen that he was on the road to a
popular success. He had begun to know
this, chiefly by the kind of circulars
that now reached him in halfpenny
wrappers. They used always to be advertisements of patent fuel, new stoves,
or outfitters' warehouses. They now
proved to contain notices of press cutting
firms and booksellers' catalogues—a significant change. "Is this fame?" he
once asked himself when he was requested to send his photograph and a sketch
of his early life to an American newspaper. On second thoughts he concluded
that, although' it could not be called
fume, it might mean success, and he
went on his way rejoicing.
But even a moderate success like his
has its drawbacks, as he discovered to
his cost.
Like most journalists he was not a
very early riser, and it was with a feeling of distinct irritation that he heard
one morning while he was still in his
bath the announcement of a visitor.
"Coming," he roared through the
door to the adjacent sitting zoom, and
proceeded to dress himself in a leisurely
manner, wondering meanwhile whether
this early caller were a printer's devil
or a dun.
He looked a personable young fellow
as he came out of his room, of middle
height, muscular, brisk, erect, with a
keen hawk's eye, dark hair that curled
wherever it was long enough to get a
chance, a nnick. bright manner, antf a
smile that was very attractive. His air
of health, strength and joyousness made
him a curious contrast to the stranger
whom ho found in his sitting room, a
man who might be any age between SO
and SO, sallow, worn, indescribably
fatigued looking, with a long, fair mustache, a downtrodde^look and decidedly
shabby clothes of somewhatforeign cut.
He made a profound bow when Yan-
brugh entered and stood clasping his
picturesque felt hat to his side in an attitude of humble expectancy, while his
host, glancing at him carelessly, asked
him to be seated, and himself took his
usual place near his desk.
"I am ashamed to intrude upon you,"
said the man, speaking in a low, fluent
voiconot unpleasant to the ear, "but
the fact is that Messrs. Mailing recommended me to call upon yon"—
"Eh ?" said Vanbrugh. He suddenly
remembered* an account that he had
lately seen in the papers of a man who
visited authors with false testimonials
and messages from publishers, and he
wondered if this were the man. Certainly Messrs. Mailing &■ Son were his
publishers. "Have you: a letter from
Mr. Mailing to me?" he asked rather
sharply.
The stranger lifted his hand deprecat-
ingly. "Not from Mr. Mailing," he
said in a gentle voice, "but I have a
letter to show you. Mr. Mailing said
that I ought to show it to you. He was
very kind, but of course he could not
find me work to do. It is work that I
am in search of, sir, and unless I find it
I dare not think of what will happen to
my wife and children."
He paused and put one long, lean
hand over his eyes, as though to keep
out the picture.
"What sort of work do you want?"
said "Vanbrugh, fidgeting with his papers.
"Copying, typewriting, shorthand
from dictation. Anything to keep the
wolf from the door. My poor little girls
—sir, on Christmas day I had nothing
to give them but bread and cheese—I
could not bear to see them crying, and I
locked myself in my room away from
toem. But why should I tell you such
pitiful details? Read this letter and yon
will see that it is no fault of my own' '—
His voice choked a little, and he held
out the letter with a shaking hand.
Frank looked at him doubtfully. Either
he was a splendid actor, or his emotion
was sincere. Vanbrugh had learned by
bitter experience to be suspicious of
strangers,- but he was inclined to believe
in this man's veracity.
The paper in his hand "bore an engraved crest, an address with which he
was well acquainted. He turned to the
last page to see the signature—it was
one which he knew well, and the letter,
addressed to Mailing, the publisher,
gave a glowing account Of the bearer's
abilities and past achievements.
"Your name, then," said Vanbrugh,
keeping his eye on the letter, "is Charles
Simmonds?"
"Yes—yes—at your service, if there
is anything I can possibly do for you. I
have had nothing to do for the last three
months owing to an illness from which
I have only just recovered. If you have
any copying"—
"But I don't want anything copied,"
said Vanbrugh in rather a perplexed
tone. "I do all my work myself. And—
I don't know, but perhaps—if you called at The Daily Argus office tomorrow
about 1 oi* 5 I might have heard of
something"—
He was almost abashed by the man's
eager gratitude. "You give me new
bone." he cried, startinir uc. as. if he
could no longer endure to remain seated.
Then his face fell, the fire died out of
his blue "eyes and his hands fell helplessly to his sides.
"My poor wife—my children!" he
muttered. "Must I go home empty
handed once again? Sir, if of your great
goodness you could hut lend me a poor
half crown.    I will faithfully"—
"Oh, good Lord," said Vanbrugh,
shocked more by the smallness of the
request than by anything else, and
touched also, he scarce knew why^
"here's a trifle! If you can make any
use of it—you needn't mention it again
—it is nothing"—
But they were two sovereigns that
found their way into the visitor's long,
lean hand.
"I suppose it's a genuine case," said
Vanbrugh to himself rather ruefully
when the impecunious literary man had
taken his departure and the donor of the
sovereigns had had time to reflect upon
his gift and the very effusive burst of
gratitude that had followed it. "It
sounded real enough. And that letter
from James Desmond. That was certainly in his own hand. However, when
I've time, I'll go round to Mailing's
and see what they know about him."
He had light on the subject before he
went to Messrs. Mailing. He turned
into his club that afternoon and met
Desmond, a writer of some repute, upon
the steps.
"Oh," said Vanbrugh, after greeting
him, " what about that man Simmonds
you sent to Mailing"—
"Simmonds, my dear boy? Capital
fellow; "very clever; died a year and a
half ago."
"Eh?"
"Oh, I see!" said Desmond, falling
into a roar of laughter. "I've heard
something of this kind'before. There's
a man going round "begging under that
name, isn't there? And you've been hit?
How much did he get out of you? Motley gave him £5."
"I didn't lose so badly as that," said
Vanbrugh trying to laugh too, "but he
had me I must confess. Then he didn't
come from Mailing?" _ ..
