AN AUTHOK'S IKROB,
Raymond Bose sat jn. hia eonifortabla
after breakfas'". ch,a.:jr Treading his after
breakfasf; ge^gpaper. All his surroundings denoted comfort.. Be was a, bachelor of 85 years.. His dark and rather-
large face heamed; with the kindliness
-which comes of being thoroughly comfortable. He was neither thin nor stout.
His frame had just contrived to hit that
happy medium which is styled "comfortable."
-He felt himself "a success—in literature. At Stj Ms position was,assured,
so "3§ junst, at" any rate, have been a
•moderate success. He wrote when and
what he pleased. Jnst now he had completed a volume of short stories.
In. fact, Eaymond was one of those
feligiton? men who have in their life everything that they want—save one thing,
and they don't know what that is.
So Eaymond Rose read his morning
paper, glanced around his own comfortable apartment, sighed and frowned.
Then, bethinking himself of his volnme
of short stories, he turned again to the
newspaper and studied the advertisement sheet.
Typewriting done for authors and others at
the rate of 8d. per 1,000 \5-0.rds; paper found.
Apply Miss G. Eamsay, 3 Nothercourt Ter^
race, N. W.
"Cheap j" muttered Raymond. "Distinctly •cheap! Think I'll try it."
Then he began to wonder in his nsnal
way as to what Miss G. Ramsay looked
like, and whether Nethercourfc- Terrace
was shabbily genteel or dirtily slumlike.
"B's almost like 'sweating,'" he
murmured. "I suppose she is hard np.
Wants work badly perhaps. The price
does seem fearfully low all the same.
Ah, well, 'tis the same for me as for
any one else."
Pxom whieh it rn.ay- bo deduced that
if Raymond's, talents were a little above
the ayerage his philanthropy was quite
normal. Not that he was mean. No She
ever thought of calling him that. Only
his enemies dared to hint that he was
"close." He was merely the ordinary
English business man.
He sat him down before a desk and
penned a note; which be addressed to
Miss G. Ramsay of Netherconrt Terrace.'
T*ie missive contained a request to he
informed whether Miss Bamsay conld
undertake to typewrite Mr. Rose's
"Volume of Short Stories" for immediate publication.
Then with eased mind he proceeded
to forget all about Miss Ramsay, Nethercourt Terrace and the ^ exigencies of
the hard pressed typist. Some letters
had to be answered, proofs corrected
and one newspaper article written.
Having accomplished theso various
tasks, he partook of a light luncheon,
walked a little by way of exercise,
smoked, and finally, as evening drew
on, settled himself comfortably in his
comfortable chair and looked over his
manuscript stories.
One or two required more alteration
and addition than he had given, thero.
One, he thought, woulc( haye. to be rewritten. ■ The rest were good enough for
his purpose, which, after all, was to
mane an lucerne, so he tqld himself.
ffbey were not great worts. Critics
would style them "fair, wholesome
mediocrity," Friends would smile and
prophesy their deservedly popular reception.
Then Raymond Rose went to hed and
slept the sleep of the highly respectable.
As has been'before observed, he was a
comfortable man, reciting little of the
future and not at all "of the past. Unrealized hopes, ambitions, aspirations
were nothing to him. "They are fulfilled," he would have told himself bad
he recalled, them, which he didn't, "and
because they are not fulfilled in the
precise way in which I then hoped that
they would be I cannot sincerely grieve.
Circumstances mold the man. He is a
mere puppet, swayed by their force. If
I am less than I should be, blame flattery aad fortune, not me. I am but an
instrument in their hands." Which is
the way in which many sophistical persons avoid'similar conscience priclring
difficulties.
The next morning he got up, breakfasted and read the morning paper, as
was his wont. Then he turned once
mora to his short stories.
Did'he feel seedy this morning? Had
the weather depressed him, or what was
the matter? Certainly his work seemed
far less satisfactory than he had ever
previously found it. To his senses, refreshed by a night's rest, these stories
appeared weak and dull. Why had he
never noticed these things before, or,
rather, why should he have noticed
them now, at the eleventh hour? This
sudden consciousness was most inconvenient.
"Miss Ramsay,'sir,'.' suddenly said
his housekeeper from the doorway.
Raymond Rose turned in his chair,
none too pleased at the interruption.
"Thank you," he said, and stared—
stared at his'visitor, wondering for the
moment what her business with him
could be. Mechanically he placed a
chair for her.
"Ihave come about some typewriting, " said she hesitatingly.
Raymond started. He remembered
now.
This, however, was not the kind of
typewriter with whom he usually dealt.
Two women who had done work for
him were angular and hard featured,
abrupt in manner and as careworn as
they could be. Miss Ramsay was a mere
girl, well dressed, slight of figure and
prepossessing of face.. Her complexion
was good, her small mouth prettily
formed, her eyes large and lustrous, her
hair a pretty brown color. Raymond
found himself noting aH these points
about his new typewriter.
Suddenly he awoke to the fact that
she was waiting for him to speak.
"Yes,." he said, "I require a volume
of short stories typewritten. Unfortunately, '' he added,recalling his thoughts
of a few minutes ago, "they are not
quite ready. More than one will want
doctoring if not rewriting."
"I might take them one by one," suggested Miss Ramsay. "Thatwould save
time. If you have one ready"—
"Yes, thatwill be our best plan," interrupted Raymond.
"And shall I do the work here or at
home?" she asked.
'' Which would he the more convenient
for you?" inquired Raymond, trying to
stifle his personal inclination as regards
the matter.
"If you will show me your writing—
that is, your MS," said she frankly, "I
can tell you. If it is difficult, I would
hetter come here.   If easy"—
"It is rather difficult," returned the
other. "Perhaps you would better come
and do thework here," he added, with
quite unconscious eagerness. "The
mornings would suit me hest.''
"Very well," shesaid. "Good morning. I will be here tomorrow."
The doorclosed behind her. Raymond
Rose tried to settle down to work again,
but he failed—miserably. Thoughts
would not come. The pen scratched and
spluttered like a thing in a bad temper.
Each story, as he tackled it, grew worse
under his alterations. However, he
made a desperate effort and- completed
one ready for the morrow's typewriting.
Then he got tip and went for a walk,
wondering what had come to him. The
visit of the morning would recur to his
mind. Nevertheless, as became a bachelor of 30, he refused to acknowledge
that his comfortableness had been in
any way disturbed by it.
"Absurd!" muttered ha "The fact
is, I want a little change—change * of
air, change of scenery, change of people, change of life." The last was quite
an afterthought.
The next morning Miss G. Ramsay
arrived, typewriter and alL Raymond
gave her the story. She read it through
and prepared to set to work
"What do you think of it?" asked
Raymond.
She laughed—very pleasantly.
"At any rate, it is not'sex maniacal,' " she said.
"No," replied he. "I am glad it is
not,'' and began his own work.
He thought that she did her typewriting very welL "When the story was
finished, he took the liberty of telling
her that the work was more than satisfactory.
She only replied that she was pleased
to hear him say sa After her departure
he found himself wondering whether
the Q before her surname stood for
Qraea or Georgina.
In the days which followed he learned
a good deal of her history. She had
come to London with her "brother, who
was a clerk in a broker's office and received an annual stipend of £80. On
this and. on. what she could earn, they
were dependent for their living, for the
parents had died, leaving them penniless. It was a common enough tale, yet
Raymond Rose considered it remarkably
interesting.
He always asked her what she thought
about a story. "Miss Ramsay often
gave Min valuable suggestions," so he
told his friends.
"I think that your stories improve,"
observed Miss Bamsay one morning.
"You seemtp probe human nature more
than you d.;dj- and your sentiment is not
so artificial."
"That is due to yonr influence," he
replied gallantly and sincerely.
The dark, lustrous eyes looked up at
him and her face assumed,a half frightened expression. Perhaps she caught the
true inwardness of his words. At any
rate that glance threw Raymond Bose
into ecstasy. No longer did he doubt his
own feelings.
The same evening he pondered deeply. Here was a man, with everything to
recommend him—a large income, an unimpeachable character, a kindly disposition, a heart filled to the brim with
love. And she—a typist in straitened
circumstances, of quite unknown origin,
so far as the world was concerned. True,
her brother presented rather an obstacle,
hut then—
The picture of the brother faded from
his mind. He saw himself wedded to a
pretty wife, his old rooms cheered and
brightened by her presence, the stale
order of things abolished, the opening
of new pastures warmed by the dual
warmth of kindred souls. Then, moved
by a sudden impulse, he sat down and
wrote a story.
He wrote of a man, noble and good,
to whom honor, fame, riches came like
the sweet rain from heaven. The man
lived, prospered and was comfortable.
Ho felt, however, that a void existed in
his life. He knew not its nature, nor
how to fill it.   Then came a woman,
