KIPLING AND HIS SsiORIES

(Continued from 2. p ) sent to school and was acvordtnrly

placed asa boarder in the well known naval school at New Cross, near Black

heath, a few miles from London. He proved an able scholar and kept his place in his classes throughout his ca

reer there. Strange to say, he never seemed to study seriously and continu-

ously as other students, but was always

ready for a lark or some prac tical joke which kept him frequently in disgrace and a prisoner in the school During

his frequent terms of confinement te his quarters be conceived the idea of edit ing awd publishing a weekly school newspaper This aroused the admira- tion of the professors. and then anj ‘he made his first reputation asa

ter He finally ran away from the

i school. and later the editor of The

Pioneer at Lahore, India, where his parents then lived, offered him a hand- some salary to start for India via Amer- ica, Honolulu, Japan, China, and so to Lahore, writing letters for publication. The offer was acce pted.

When he returned to Lahore, he en- tered the office of The Pioneer and took a subordinate position in order to learn everything in the publishing line. The work was not congenial to him, and he Was anxious to turn his attention to something It happened that the Duke of Connanght, then military com- mander of the northwestern district of India, would occasionally pay a visit to the Kiplings and spend an evening at their house. When he met Rudyard, he became greatly interested in him and, in the course of conversation, remarked, “What are you going to do, Mr. Kip- ling, now that you are in India again?’

‘Well. sir, 1 have an ambition be- yond the drudgery of working in the office of The Pioneer.’

‘“‘What would you like to do, then, Mr. Kipling?’

‘**l would like. sir, to live with the army for a time and go to the frontier to write up Tommy Atkins.’’ The duke considered the matter and finally gave him carte blanche to do whatever he liked, go to any military station in his command and, if he wished, go to the frontier and live with officers or men, and if at any time he required an escort he could have ene. Rudyard availed himself of the duke’s offer and went off to make acquaintance with Tommy Atkins. At the same time he became a great student of mature and the life and character of the people

Thus began a career in literature which has given Mr. Kipling wide and enduring fame

Mr. Kipling was married Jan. 19, 1892, in London, to Miss Balestier, of the young American novelist, Wolcott Balestier. who died in Dresden in 1891, and with whom Kipling collaborated in the story caved **The Naulahka.’

There are few personalities more in- teresting than that of Rudyard Kip ling, and there is no man of letters about whom there has been so much in- quiry, yet he is very little known. He has what is sometimes called the British insular prejudice against inquiry into his private life and habits.

A good many hundreds of people who have come in contact with him have calleG him all the names that one may use in polite society The explanation thereof is simple enough. Mr. Kipling did not care to know them and resented their attempts to know him. To these Kipling is inclined to be exceedingly short, not to say rude. He believes that he gives the best he has to the public in his writings and that it has no right to bother about his private life

To those to whom he gives his friend hearted, as any one could ask He is the most delightful of companions

It was in this trying environmen! that Kipling nevertheless some of his best things. Ina couple cf pages on ‘‘My First Book,’’ which bi contributed to McClure’s four or five years ago, he told something about the way in which his verses were written. saying

‘Bad as they were, I burned twice as many as were published, and of the survivors at least two-thirds were cut down at the last moment. Nothing can be wholly beautiful that is not useful. and therefore my verses were made to ease off the perpetual strife between the manager extending his advertise- ments and my chief fighting for his reading matter. They were born to be sacrificed. Rukn-Din, the foreman of our side, approved of them immensely, for he was a Muslim of culture. He ‘Your poetry very good. sir. Just coming proper length today You giving more soon. One-third col- umn just proper Always can take er third page.’

‘‘Mahmoud, who set them up, haa an unpleasant way of referring to @ new lyric as Ek aur chiz—one more thing—which I never liked. The job side, too, were unsympathetic, because I used to raid into their type for private proofs with Old English and Gothic headlines. Even a Hindoo does not like to find the serifs of his f’s cut away to make Jong s’s.

‘‘And in this manner, week by week

my verses came to be printed in the paper.” Of course these verses immediately

attracted the attention of the English exiles in India, and scores of people eoon began to demand the publication of the rhymes in book form. This was a little more than Kipling had bar- gained for when he dashed off his lines as the exigencies of the paper or the inspiration of the moment suggested. Here again we may quote his own words:

“A real book was out of the ques- on, but I knew that Rukn-Din and

' the office plant were at my disposal at

O. government envelope. printed on one side only, bound in brown paper and secured with 'red tape. It was ad- dressed to all heads of departments and all government officials, and among a pile of papers would have deceived a clerk of 20 years’ service. Of these ‘books’ we made some hundreds, and as there was no necessity for advertis-

ing, my public being to my hand, I took reply postcards, printed the news of the birth of the book on one side, order form on the other and posted thein up and down the empire from Aden to Singapore and from Quetta to Colombo There was no trade discount, no reck- oning twelves as thirteens, sion and no credit of any kind what- ever. The money came back in poor but honest rupees and was transferred from the publisher, the left hand pocket, di

rect to the anthor, the right hand pocket. Every copy sold in a few weeks. and the ratio of expenses to profits, as I remember it, bas since prevented my injuring my health by sympathizing with publishers who talk of their risks and advertisements. ”’

The price received by Kipling for his work he regards as nobody’s business but his own; nevertheless everybody will fee! a keen interest in The British Weekly’s paragraph on this subject

“Perhaps no one receives such large prices for his work as Mr. Rudyard Kip- ling. He has contracted to write eight stories for one of the magazines next year, for each of which he will receive about £240. This issimply for the Eng- lish serial rights of the stories. In ad- dition Mr. Kipling receives payment from America, India and the colonies

no commis-

| This will probably bring ap the price of

the stories to about £500 each, making £4,000 forthe year. In addition to this, Mr. Kipling receives the royuities {or book publication in England and Amer- ica. This will not amount to less than about £4,000, so that for each story the author ultimately receives not less than £1,000. Whether these high prices will be kept up is very doubtful If the cheap magazinism succeeds in injuring the older periodicals they cannot be maintained. It remains to be seen whether the public cares much for names, and it must be remembered that the papers with the largest circulation in this country do net depend upon namesatall Lremember some years ago Mr Kipling contributed one of his best work. better work by a great deal than be has been doing lately. to a monthly review The editor inform :d me that not one extra copy of the pe riodical was sold

Among the first of the stories of Kip ling to attract attention was *‘The Man Who Would Be King. and later came from tis prolific and versatile pen such

pieces of

fuscinating stories as ‘**The Phantom Rickshaw ‘The Taking of Lungtun:z pen ‘The Strange Ride of Morrow tie one “The Matter of a Private. > Binal cf the White Hussars’ and Th » Story of the Gadsbys, ‘a numer of which are included in “The Plain Tales From the Hills.” which give

vivid and interesting pictures of native and life in India. Kipling’s fame as a poet is not less well merited than his reputation asa writer of fction

‘The Truce of the Bear.” in which he attacked the aggression of Russia, is one of his strongest poems, while **Be- trothed’’ may be regarded as one of the most delightful of the products of © his poetic genius. Other poems which. bave attracted wide and favorable attention are ‘‘The Seven Seas,” **McAndrew's Hymn,” **The Mary Gloster,” ‘**Tom- my Atkins’ and **Files on Parade.’

His latest poems, which all the English speaking world knew almost by heart. ‘*The Recessional’’ and ‘‘The White Man's Burden,”’ hav~ given him endui- ing fame as a poet.
