THE LASS OF RICHMOND HILL
CTIAPTKH V.
When, wasted and worn with fever.
Jessie awoke to reason, it was to ilnd
her cousin haggard and aged by anxie
ty, and bitterly remorseful for bringing
her to such a pass. The pure sunshine
came through the quaint diamond-
Eaned window and lighted up the som
re room, as Rex, in an aeony of re
pentrmce, knelt by the bedside and im
plored her to give him inst one kind
word for pity's sake, but the memory of
her wrongs came to her qulcklv and
raising herself feebly upon her pillows,
ehe said scornfully;
"So I am still in captivity, still In
your power, and I have Wen so near to
God, Oh, it is awful! Leave me, there
is no need of your face to remind mo of
the despair that has struck at my life,
and nearly lost me my reason. Go; li
I hated you once I hate you doubly now
that I have suffered torment here.
AN hat have I done that you should bring
such surpassing misery upon me? Go,
you madden me. Go, I say, in pity,
He-x. roused out of his stupor of de
jection by her fierce reproach, rose and
staggered to the outer room, where
Flora sat doing some homely needle
work. ''Go to her, Flora, she is sensible now,
but do not let her talk."
Flora rose and went swiftly into the
sick room. Jessie was sitting up in bed,
tears streaming down her white checks,
her bands pressed frantically to her
throbbing forehead..
"llow long have I been here?1"
".Near upon a month, ma'am."
"A month: (rood (rod! what will
people think has liecome of me'?"'
"What does the world matter, my
dear, if you have your husband?"
"My husband! Do you mean to sav
he has kept up that cruel farcer" God
help me. how can 1 tight against such
relentless cunning? Oh, why did I not
die. and so end all this perplexity."
"Hush, dearie, it is shocking to hear
God's name invoked with such ungrate
ful words."
"lint can you not understand how
miserably I am placed, in my cousin's
power as I am, and every one by this
time imagining us man and wife, as he
has made you believe we are. "What
can I sav or do to convince you that I
am speaking the truth in telling you
there is no tie between my cousin and
me except our consulship. '
"Trv to rest. dear, and no one shall
disturb you, I protni.se. wife or no wife-.
I'll stand bet ween you and th mun you
(Ireful m much until you are strong and
well ;"-;io). l t that content you, for I
can s.iy no more."
J-,:,ie sillied nvA turned bi-r face to
the wall wearily. Tli summer sun
beams rejected in a glass of water
made dancing waves of 11;' la upon the
wall, and caught Jessie's ey.-s.
While she watched the gulden waves
on the wall an idea came to her to coax
Flora M.u-kay to post a letter to Dr.
Kayuor," and so summon him to her as
sistance. After pretended sleep she roused
herself and asked for her tea. Whilo
taking it she. prevailed upon her nurse
to got her writing materials and con- ;
Sent to post her letter. 1
She was persuaded only 011 one condi
tion, that was that the letter should lJ
adili vs-'ed to a lady.
This eoud.tion rather bailled Jessie
at first till shu thought she could send
to Dr. Uavnor through their mutual
friend Audrey Fisher. Jessie wrote a !
letter to that "lady desiring her to give .
the enelosed long and troubled let- ;
ter to Dr. Kajnoi, and entreat him to
come or send at once, as she was In dire '
ext remit v.
The letter to Dr. Haynor fully ex
plained her position, and the compro
mising nature of her surroundings;
very humbly and lovingly she pointed
out the scandalous construction the
world would put upon her disappear
ance. anl witli a gentle pride she as
f u red him that, should his love not bo
proof against the unfortunate compli
cation of events which had made her
the victim to her cousin's unscrupulous
conduct, she would release him from his
engagement without further delay. It
was a touching, womanly letter, full of
heart broken assurances of her love
and chastitv.
Flora despatched this epistle by a
trusted a!lv, and .Jessio. with anxious
looks, daiiv waitd a reply. Flora was
as good as her word and kept Ilex away
i from her. representing that she was
' still too ill to bear tho excitement of
1 seeing him.
At lust the much-desired letter came,
j Flora gave it to her. amazed by the in
' tense relief the sight of it afforded.
1 Jessie, reeogniz.ifig Audrey's writing,
felt sure the letter contained a prom
' ise of spo(lv rescue, but her face grew
' whiter as slio read its contents which
! were as follows:
; "liFtit .!ixib:-I rwlvrvl your lettiT nnd
' forwarded the enclosure to Dr. Knyiinr ns di-
Hlrod. He bin met wtth an accident while rul
' i'nr. and .as tracttiied hi- l ir. o that I could

i brought me the reply, which wa brief nnd al
i ii'ht cruel. I cannot think what you havu
done to deserve It. He Paid. "Tell Je?ie, I am

herself or me, put herself in her cousin's
power. Tell her 1 send bor my best wiwhes for
bur future happinens. and rcfrrct the oauno of
her broakiiur troth.' Violet toid me. with
tears in her oyw, that her brother was terribly
cut up by your letter, and had sternly forbid
den he over to mention your name airain to

and intends to o abroad uutil his health

ujiiln as I miirht not oret the letter. With i'm
pathy and (rooil wi-hi-s for your future happl
liess," I remain, yours truly,
"ArnnuT Fisher.
With a cry of agony Jessie fell back
In a dead faint.
Ilex, who w,n killing time by sketch
ing the view from the sitting-room win-
dow. heard t!:o cry. and
rushed
111 to
Flora
see Jessie apparently
ad and
wild With anxietv.
(uicklv taking in the whole situation
lie laid Jessie more easily, and dashed
water in her fn.ee. and trying to chafe
h-r hands he discovered the letter
Clem bed tightly between her lingers.
lie drew it out with an evil look at
Flora, nnd pnt it in his pocket.
When the dark eves unclosed to life
again, he left Jessie and eagerly read
tlie letter.
An exultant look Hashed to his eyes,
his lips curled scornfully as he said
with wicked triumph:
"The game is mine; Audrey has kept
her promise. Now to get the girl away
from here. Ihiynor will be here as fast
as love, can speed him. What about
that accident though? That may give
me time. 1 fancy there is truth in that.
Well. 1 won't trust too much to the de
lay that promises. I can afford to lie
more t'-nder with my wiiful little gipsy
now that she is mine."
"Where is my letter. Flora? Oh.
where is mv letter, I had it in my hand
when I fainted? Find it for me. please,
I am anxious to destroy it at once."
"I can't get it for you. Mr. Venni
more took it out of your hand. Ask
him for it, not me." answered the wom
an sullenlv, for she knew her lover
would be "bitterly angry v. il'i her for
ni'owing her charge to received letter.
Her half imbecile oid father called
her awav now, and as she passed through
the sitting-room. Ilex sa.d:
FBREMAN WHOM THK THCTH MAKES
T8 A
EBENSBURG, PA.. FRIDAY. JUNE 11, ISSG.
"Can 1 g in now, 1 want to speak to
my wife?'"5
"Yes, fiir, you can; but I entreat you
to deal kindly with her, for she is too ill
to Ix ar anv more trouble."
Jessie lihed her heavy eyes scornfully
to her cousin's face as lie entered, and
took the vacant chair beside the lied.
" 'Tis a manly thing to do. Hex, to
force your wav into a sick woman's
room, when you know w hat a dread I
have of your unwelcome visits. You
have read my letter, I suppose, and
have come to gloat over my suffering,
my shame, my bitter humiliation, and
cruel disappointment. The worst you
can do is easily borne now. for I have
suffered the cruellest stab fortune could
afflict me with, and I still live to endure
the torture you can intlict.
"Cheer up. little woman, I'm not quit
the wretch you imagine me. I love you
too well, poor darling, to exult over you
now. Try to think a little better of me,
dear; indeed I deserve it. llemember
'all's fair In love and war,' and many a
man has perilled his soul to win a
weak woman. Get well, Jess; show
your pride is above succumbing to the
pain this man has brought you. He
ought to have known you txj well to
have allowed anything to lessen his
love and trust in you. Forget him and
make me happy; we will be married in
Edinburgh directly you can bear the
journey. Mv mother will meet you
there and see that the marriage is ortho
dox. Only cheer up and try to get well.
Y'our illness has been a bitter reproach
to me. I long to carry you off to sun
nier lands, and see the change bring
back your old bonny looks. I would be
good to you. dear, and make you happy,
if vou would let me; indeed I could, for
I love you, and love is strong to con
quer." "Ilex, if you have a spark of love for
me, leave me. I am wretched, resent
ful, and despairing. If it please God to
restore me to health, I shall In? able to
face my position and understand things
better; just now I am worn out in
mind and body. You have brought this
misery upon me. the least you can do is
to let matters mend themselves, if they
are not beyond mending. For me, I
have only one desire, and that is to hide
my poor "head from the world, if I am
not allowed tho blessed relief of dying.
Go, please; I promise one thing, that
Is. vou shall take me to your mother;
she is all I have, the onlv friend in all
the world now. and she lias failed me
like all the rest when I had most need
of her."
Ilex lifted the little hand to his lips
and left her, feeling anything but vic
torious. lie fore the week had gone the cousins
were m their way to Edinburgh. Jes
sie was but a shadow of l.er bright,
bon.nv self; Ilex, with a dissatisfied,
worried look in his bold, handsome eves,
for sure as he pretended to lie. the de
lay bothered hhn; the game was not
i plaved out et, and w ho could tell w hat
; turn tickle fortune might take to defeat
him? So far he had been successful,
! but looking into Jessie's changed face
he felt his success had been bought at a
cruel cost, and hard and relentless as he
was. he could not stitle a feeling of
keen self-reproach, for he spoke truly
when he said he loved his cousin.
He dil love her to the best of his i
black heart's ability, loved her and !
sinned against all that should apial to
a noble nature; sinned against her
helplessness, her innocence, her happi
ness, and still dared to say he loved her. ;
No words of reproach escaped Jes- I
sie's lips when she met her aunt's
frightened eves; she knew how the son
had traded upon the timid, weak na- .
tureof his mother, and while she do- i
spised she pitied her. I
( )ne morning Jessie was roused out j
of the deceitful calm that had fallen up- !
on her by Ilex, who said, with forced
bravado:
"Jessie, 1 have made all arrangements .
for our marriage, which must take ;
place next week. Do not make any ;
lresh obstacles, plea-e. dear; for. in- .
deed, marriage with me will be your
best policy. "
Mrs. Yenniniore dropped her book I
and looked anxionslv up into Jessie's
blanched face. She Lad risen and faced
her cousin with two words upon her
lips, spoken with hopeless bitterness:
"So soon!"
"My dear girl, it is better so. A pret
ty little scandal is atloat about our in
nocent escapade, and to silence it I pro
pose that we are publicly married as
t.0011 as possible."
With a rush the color How back to
Jessie's lace, the light to her eyes, as
she answered with head erect, swiftly
punting breast, and vivid lips fiom
which the breath came quickly:
" You have indeed contend me. For
the sake of the good end nanus, you.
know I must consent t: your tjims:
there is no reason now tiia 1 should
not, since the only man I love can de
spise me. Hut hear ami understand me
clearly if this marriage takes place. It
will le a marriage of outward form on
ly, there can be no dear tie of lovo bo
tween us. I shall be your wife in name
only, and shall hum from you only
freedom and abs-'ii-e. The "marriage
will make a good part of my fortune
Tours, the rest will suffice for my needs,
only want to be free from your cruel
persecution for ever. Your mother
must be witness to this agreement. I
will not reproach either of vou for
wrecking my happy young life, your
ow n consciences must be my best advo
cates. I only say, take what you want,
but leave me peace in its stead."
"JJut suppose I do not agree to marry
on those terms, Jessie, said Hex,
grasping her hand fiercely, and looking
into her proud, defiant eyes; "suppose I
refuse to marry you and let the world
sav its worst, while I smile on its mis
taken judgment, and by silence tacitly
give consent to the worst it can believe.
What then?"
"I have told you my decision, it Is
unalterable!. If you cannot accept my
terms I shall return to the convent
school that sheltered and made my
clrldhood happy. There will lo a wel
come for me there, anil the life would
rest rne from the world that you have
made wearisome to me. I do not care
how you decide; I shall lie free of you
eoon in any cae. yon know that."
Ilex's eyes blazed, the veins swelled
upon his forehead, and his mother, see
ing the storm that was raging within
him, shivered a little and crossed to his
side with a feeble sigh of intense weari
ness; laving her thin, white hand upon
his. she'said in her tender, quivering
voice:
"Accept your only chance, agree to
Jessie's terms; you can make your own
when tho law makes yo-: her m vster.
Do not drive her to ih-srerat :. four
mother never advised you hi t f ir your
own good, my son, so listen now, and
curb 'your evil temper for a'.! op.r sakes.
Do, Hex; I your mother implore you;
pray let there lx peace."
Hex shook off his mother's hand im
patiently, and crossed to where Jessie
stood; she had gone to the window to
lie out of earshot, and was looking up
at the big expanse of blue sky. watch
ing a bird that seemed to le trying to
onttly the wind cloud. She turned
coldly at the sound of her cousin's
voice, which was hoarse and strange.
"Jessie. I accept your terms. Shall
I appoint Wednesday for our wedding
day V"
"All days are alike tome, Wednesday
will do."
1'.. x was about to turn away when
I'.issioti in isft red reason, and furring
on her fiercely, he said in an undertone
of intense appeal:
TREK, AND ALL ARB LAVBB BKBIDB.'
"Jetssie, are you stone to torture a
heart that loves you. Must it be always
so with us, have you no pity?"
"I have no pity for you, I need it all
for myself. It must be always so with
us. always till life is ended. All that
was giKxl and tender in me is dead, dead
as my own heart, and you have killed
it."
Rex clenched his hand and groaned
as he left her, and his mother sank sob
bing by her side, saying:
"Oh, Jessie! for Ood'B sake do not
steel your heart against your only
friends."
"Friends!" whispered Jessie, despair
ingly. "If you are my friends. Heaven
send me enemies."
Cn.VITKIt VI.
Richmond again in the ruddy light of
rosy July sunshine. A light breeze
stole in at the open window of the
pleasant parlor at The Poplars, where
Dr. Ravnor lay back in a lounge-chair
idly reading the Times. Violet, in a
pretty summer dress with roses in her
bosom, sat in her favorite corner, her
work-table strewn with gay crewels;
her big John leant over her chair, and
watched her with adoring eyes. He
looked up and asked as Bob laid down
the pajier impatiently:
"Have you heard of Jessie venni
more lately. Bob?"
"No, I w ish to Heaven I had. I wrote
to her telling her of my accident and
begging her to hold out till I could
come to her. Fancy the poor child sick
nnd surrounded bv so much trouble.
Oh! it makes me feel like a madman to
think of it. I have laid here like a lo"
while she had such need of me. Had
vou been at home w hen the letter came,
John, 1 should have asked you to go to
her in my stead. 1 suffer torments
while picturing that man's power for
evil. I'll start for Scotland to-day at
anv risk."
"Oh, Bob dear, vou are not tit, it will
kill you; you can hardly stand jet."
"f vo ordered a crutch, and will be
careful fur my poor girl's sake. Do not
try to dissuade me, Violet; I must go,
indeed I must."
Violet's pretty eyes were filled w ith
tears; her lover patted her cheek kind
ly, and said:
''Cheer up, little woman; I'll go and
look after this headstrong brother of
yours. I shall be glad to plant my 'feet
upon my native heath' once more. I
did not "think I should go there until I
could take you, but" with a sigh "so
much happiness must not be mine just
yet, sweetheart, so 1 11 go with Bob."
"Do. vou dear good fellow. I shall
feel safe if he is with you. Here comes
Audrey; open the door. John. Good
ness, Audrey! are you ill. you look so
white?"
Audrey smiled as she shook hands
with eaeli in turn, then sank into a chair
close to Bob, where her face was in the
bhadow.
"No. I am not ill. but I am the bearer
of unpleasant news, Violet. I want to
speak to Bob alone- suppose you try
that new song with Mr. Dean."
"All right, Audrey; but remember
Bob is an invalid, and you must be gen
tle with him. i
As the door closed upon Violet and
John, 1U d) said:
"What have you to tell me, Audrey?
Have you anv tidings of my poor dar
ling? If you have, speak quickly; my ';
heart is eaten up with anxiety."
Audrey crept behind his chair, so that
I he could not seo her face, then laying ;
I her hand 011 his head, she said, in a 1
voice low and unsteady with emotion:
j "Bob dear, can you bear a shock? j
i Can you be brave and believe all things 1
! tend to some good end even w hen our ,
j hearts are almost broken by grief and ,
, disappointment?"'
"Audrey, what do you mean? Speak
plainly. I ani not a child. Say anything ,
but that my girl is dead!"
" 'Tis not that. Bob dear; but she in
; future must be dead to you. I heard j
. from her to-day. Hex has gained his '
' wicked victory". She marries him on !
. Wednesday."
I Bob sprang to his feet and brought
his hand down with a crash upon the ;
: table Iveside him, saving, with eyes of :
llaiue fixed upon her face, "By Heaven, i
she shall not" !
"Oh. Bob. l'.olv be patient; perhaps
j tis better so. She couid not be worthy ,
! of such love as yours, or she would have j
; liecn true till death. Take comfort, ;
; darling; there are loval hearts and un-
j changing loves that live and bum, be- j
! sidij which such puny flames as hers j
; are as quenched tires. Tako comfort; j
shut her out of your heart since she
j could so weakly slip out of your life." '
' Audrey had come quite close to him j
j in her excitement, her fair face was ;
; transformed by passion. There was no !
! mistaking the lovelight of her eyes. j
; Amazement, iFCwilderment, and dis
! gas. slow ly merged into a suspicion of
' foil! play in Hob's mind. All her un
; desired love was plain to him now.
I "What do vou mean by such euiotion,
j Audrey? W"hv are you so to me?
I Speak?"
Audrey had sunk to her knees, her
I face lifted towards his. Seizing his
' band in both her own, she said passion-
atelv:
j "Despise me if vou will. Bob; but I
love you. 1 love you with a force and
passion that must win some return
from you, or I shall die. Let me com
fort you, my own dear love. Ix.t me till
the heart that poor weak creature could
never have sat lslied for a life-time. Do
not look so coldly on me. Am I not
beautiful? Am I not a woman to con
tent a man? Siveak to me. No, you
shall not take your hands away. I will
cling to them till you are kind to me.
Oh. Bob, Bob!"
"Hush, Audrey! for Heaven's sake!
You know I have no love to give yon.
It hurts me to see you lower your w oni
anhood thus. My "friend, my sister, let
us forget this foolish scene imagine it
as unreal as this mud love of yours, that
will l ass away like morning dew be
neath the warmth of some good man's
love some day. Come, dear, do not add
to my tioi-.bles bv this wayward freak
of your untried Iieart. Get up, dear:
'tis'i.ot fit that the knee should liond
in supplication to any but the King of
Kings."
"You are my king, my love, my mas
ter. Let man" kneel to God and woman
knel to man, tlie ruler of love, for
which one lives. Bob, I beseech you to
say one hopeful word to me. Now Jes
sie is lost to you, will you not win con
tent from me?"
"Jessie is not lost yet. I will win her.
She is tho only woman I will call wife.
Show me her letter. I insist you have
it in your pocket. Come, give 'it to me.
It is all I can take from you. Do not
anger me; I cannot trust myself to bo
patient. Give me the letter."
Audrey rose slowly, compelled by the
Fternness of his untfinching eyes. "
Instinctively she put her hand in her
pocket.
liob heard a rustle of paper, and
taking hold of her hand, drew out the
letter.
She made one effort to retain it, but
he forced it from her and read:
'Dfaii ArtiRKT:-Your letter showed mo

" Yes," answered John Dean, "sold by
a power that knows your value. Come,
Bob, bring Miss Vennimore away."
'Stop her, mother."
"No, Ilex, I cannot. We have wrong

you!"
The clouds of sorrow were dispersed,
and henceforth joy and ieace filled the
hearts of Bob Haynor and the Lass of

following report of an Interview -with
William Dean Howella, the novelist :

Would toe flow spontaneously from my
pen. That was a foolish thought and mi
egregious error. Of caurso, I was a young
man then and Indulged In dreams and tdla
fancies. "Die first novel I wrote I worked.
4V.nl I flattered myself that I wotUd not
have to labor at fiction any mora after the
first that was the arduous task, and ail
else would come naturally. I know now
that notal writing Is always labor hard,
unremitting worJt It seems that each

doubtless live on the nattering ida that at
a certafn time tt will be elm ply play to put ,
together a novel. They soon discard that '
notion. Then, too, many Imagine that a (
close reading of books will fit them to :
fiction. writing. That Is a mistake
"When I was a young man I was
offered the position of city editor on a
Claoinnatl paper- I have regretted to
this day that I did not accept It. It i
would have given me a great schooling in
etradyinK human nature. Besides, X
should have beea taught ninny things In a
general and practical wsiy thiit books ,
never can teach, lubtead I eu to my
books. When I was S-i yxir old Presi
dent Lincoln appointed mo Consul at
Venice- I remained there for a number
of years. That is why I lay many of my
scenes In Italy. I have seen aul studied
tha country."
Rome cities allege that yon are on the
wrong tack that you have scarcely any
1 plot and break all tha rules of novels
! writing."
'I have so special answer to maka to
! such criticisms. I wilts a novel to milt
my soli, aod do no: proceed by rule and
model. My plan Is to work out eery
: thing iii a natural way. I try not tm
draw ireprol aLio characters. A. nove
; writer fbcnld have no model, but strive
; for probability and reality. The old
. romantic Echovlla fast dying out. and with
it the compile::', i and often impossible
i plots. The gr. .i;;e, the moat, the ancient
! castle, are rtslt-K".el to lcgeudary writers,
and have no part and plate In our aV
j vanced and matter-of-act days, The
Kreat romancers are dead, and only a few
' are left In England to produce that unreal
' style of fiction. u
"Is England behind other countries In
novel-writlr.g t"
"Yes, for there tbs romantto school still
flixirlshes to some extant. Of course,
: there axe some exceptionally great and
realistic writers In England. At the head
! of the list 1 placa Thomas Hardy, whose
i novels I road with absorbing interest I
Lava not read so many of Mr. William
' mack,'a novels, but I know ttielr charm.
: 1 don't know why, but England is fox bo
i hind the countries on the Continent,
j Russia has the greatest novel-writara,
' They stand ahead of all others In the
, world, VThyf They are natural. Yon
i re ail Tolstoi or Touxguenlell, especially
' Uie former. and you become at
' ouce enchained by his realism. Tula tot' a
j story, Anna Kesaenlna, la not only great
; but carries with It the ounyictlou that It
la true and really happened. Those wrls-
j era have no models, no rules to go by; 1
. they seem to proceed by the rule of their
' feeling and ludtuent and what they tee
i and know. Lu i'rauce the old sensational
! school hus long given wny to the natural.
; When Victor llugo died the death knell 1
ot tlie romantic sobool was xoonded. Kmllo
! iujla. Daudet and uiiiecs&re rapidly laiug-
j lng credit to Frauce by their natural
! methods. In Italy aud Spain the class of
fiction writers are ahead of Knuuid in
method. They hav-e caught ta spirit of
truth, and write what was, ajd Is and
may be, and not what was not, and is not
and nover can bo."
"How ts America as a home for the
realistic school!"'
The United States ts perhaps, des
tined to outstrip the other countries In
realistic novol-writins. True, we haven't
the old bifatory, the oantlcs and knights,
all prolific themes for the laiartnaUve
writer, and we don't want thmu ; but
we have more novel phases of life and
character to etndy and depiat than any
other country on the face of the globe.
Oar instltions, too, are dilTervnt, and
everything h favorable to the production
of a class of original fiction-writers. We
have some already that are eminent In
the.tr line. Geo. W. Cable, Miss Mnrfrea,
Q. p. Lathrop and others. Of course, we
have some who still are guided by the
oid methods. Those who succeed, In my
opinion, w ill have to study out character
and every section of this conn try has a
local peculiarity that fiction can portray.
Now I have notidng to do with day be
fore yesterday; I deal with tlie present
and fear to trespass on the morrow. I
came from Ohio. I hare not written any
thlnu about the people and their charao
terlstics, yet 1 have a lively recollection
of everything connected with my early
life there. Don't ask me about tha
natural school in America; it really ex
fets and Is the predominating fiction."
iStime criticisms have ben passed on
your last novel, Indian Summer, that
your style Ls aome-what changed."
"Yea, and what makes it more amusing
in that Indian Summer Is not my last
novel. I wrote It before I did the liise and
Fall of Silas Laphara. It was not pub
lished owing to certain editorial exigencies.
I laid the scene in Florence Instead of
fcrre, but the characters were Americans,
I made tho grouping at Florence becaube
It is a fact that so many Americans of all
sorts meet there, and there w as nothing
unusual about U. 1 could have placed the
whole action In America for that master.
It is unnecessary for writers to go out of
America to gt character and material
for a novel. The material is at our very
feet, and requires natural gift and practice
to pnt Into reality and artistlo shape. The
more practice a writer has the better. "
