LUSUS SCRIBENDI Rejection slips are known to every author.’ If he has arrived they become less frequent or ¢ease altogether. But in the embryonic stage’ of writing, they usually come with~ unceasing regularity, and it takes spuhk and infinite patience and doggedness to face failures week in and week-out. Sometimes a writer has produced something worth while but it does not click at once and the production is bounced about until it catches the eye of a con- noisseyr who scents its werth, Since this happens to the articles of an established writer, it is evident the road | that an embryo has to travei is very dis- couraging and many drep by the wayside, Some writers, of course, have more luck than others, beeause ability is not al- ways recognized immediately, while others miss on the psychological moment and are doomed to wait for a more favorable day. One of Ernest Hemingway’s stories ‘was bounced from pillar to post until it finally landed. on productive ‘soil. Under the caption “Scribbler’s. Luck,” Edward Weeks in the May Atlantic Monthly lets the reader in on the peregrinations of what | Ray Long, one of the .ablest magazine editors, claims.as one of the ‘ bést’ prize fight stories he ever read, but-which he muffed when it was sent him for -review. This writer has published in book form the twenty stories which seemed to hitn the est in his experience, and this is what he | says of one of them: “W. C.. Lengel was representing the | Hearst group of American magazines in Europe, One night, in Paris, he went to a prize fight with some friends. ‘There he | met a young chap named Hemingway, Ernest Hemingway. He and’ Hemingway took to each ather frem the start. During the evening the new friend confided . to Lengel that he had written a short story. Bill, always on the alert for new material, asked him. to send jt around the next day. And in due course the manuscript came across the sea to me, and with it the most enthusiastic letter of praise that I ever re- ceived from Lengel. “{ read the story. It left me _ cold. Absolutely cold, for the life of me I couldn't see why my associate had got so excited about it,. I rejected the story. . “Next it went to Scribner's. Maxwell | Perkins, one of the most astute editors in the land, liked the story fairly well, but Heming- way refused to da the cutting, and when Someone ¢lse tacked the job it was found that the story as edited didn’t make sense. The author in. writing it had cut out every word that could ‘be spared. ‘Next it went to the Saturday Evening Post. And bounded ‘beck lke a rubber -ball;* Next Collier's. ‘Same yesult. “And then one right I picked up the Atlantic Monthly and started to read “Fifty Gfahd,” just to see what they had done ‘it. They hady’t done a thing. But the editor of the Atlantic had seen in the story. what Bill Lengel had seen in it, and what the others, myself heading the list, had overlooked, And what I saw the minute I read the story in type. “Next day 1 wired Lengel to ask friend Hemitigway to forgive me “fdx' stupidest blunder I'd ever made, as an editor. Far “Fifty Grand’’ was one of the best short steries that ever came to my hands. It was—and is—I think the best prize-fight story I ever read.” SELLING BAD STOCKS With utter disregard for blue sky jaws, one citizen of New York is selling worthiess stocks with impunity, and has made a fortune doing ft. Bat this vendor of bad securities. is different from many others. He guar- antees that the stocks he sells are ab- solutely without value, after buying them with the same onderstanding. This odd broker, R. M. Smythe, now 72 years old, has long been gn authority on stocks, and has the history of about 800,- | 000 dead corporations. For 4§ years he has been consulted by persons holding securities and when he convinces them that their handsome steck certificates have no value, he sometimes buys them at & tominal figure. Then he sells them to bankers for windew displays, te colleges fer study, or to faddists who use them to paper _ their rooms. Bat always he gives his guarantee that they are ne good from a financial standpoint.
