ADVICE TO NOVELISTS

SOME POINTERS FOR WRITERS OF THRILLING FICTION.

The Adviser Thinks That Not Enough Attention Is Devoted to Local Col- or and Tries to Siow What Ought to Be Done.

The writers of fiction of the present day are as far behind the time as @ clock that hasn’t ticked a tock for 1% years. The race for fame has caused the majority of them to overlook the fact that the scenes of their stories are in some country village where the bab- bling brooklet babbles and the war- bling song birds continue to warble while the deserted taaiden tries to wor? the public for a stake. If these writ ers would only have their stories lo cated nearer home, so their readers might inquire into the authenticity of their portrayals, work would become a joy instead of a sheer necessity. We have in mind at this time a short story that will serve as an example for writ- ers of fiction to follow. Start off some- thing like this:

THE WINNING OF CHARLOTTE HENRIETTA; OR, FORTUNE VERSUS FOOTBALL, CHAPTER 1.

Grosvenor VanDusen ran lightly up the marble steps of the MacCawberly mansion and rang the bell in a shock- ing manner. As it was an electric bell, the high cheese of society overlooked the manner of its being rung. A mo- ment later the massive door swings open, and the MacCawberly butler shows the ycung man into the some- what scrumptiously furnished recep- tion room and inquires as to the qual- ity of his fine cut. VanDusen hands the butler a $10,000 bill and, throwing himself into the attitude of a rustic Apollo, says rather forcibly:

“Aw—tell—aw—Miss MacCawberly— aw-—that I desiah tah see her at once, Tell her—aw—thawt I am awaiting her gwacious favahs in the weception woom.”

The butler bows and ambles out of the room.

Whea he is gone, VanDusen takes a hand bag he carriedand commences to take bonds, jewels and bank notes from it and arrange them in bargain counter str!* on an onyx topped stand that happened to be at hand. In a trifle less than 62 minutes from the time the butler left the room Charlotte Henrietta MacCawberly entered. idly twirling a string of diamonds 2 feet 3 inches long.

“You wish to see me, I believe” she said in tones that coated the w:indow panes with frost.

“Yes, Miss MacCawberly—Charlotte. I eccme to offah you mah fortune and myself. Will you be mine to hold, to love and—awyaws cherisi?’

“Pray. do not excite yourself necd- lessly. Mr. VanDusen, The man I wed

wust achieve fame. Do something that is mauly and then come to me.” Tossing the string of diamonds care-

lessly under the sofa, ske left ‘him with his money, “Proud, haughty beauty, Abi wip

CHAPTER IIL. ‘Tis the ides of November, and the

carth is garbed in somber hues. A creat throng of people are: gathered gbeut a bulletin board, gazing wit rapt attention on the paper pasted

there. At last a man iu front utters a how] of joy. “We win! We win! win!” shorts the man. The crowd takes up the cry, and soon the entire populace is slouting. “VanDusen made a desperate plunge with the ball and after telling the op- posing forces a new gag calmly walked around their left tackle and won the championship for Bilkville.”’ were the words that started ue crowd cheering.

We win! We
