Uncle by your last short story.” “His feelings have been hurt? I do not quite understand.” “Well, you remember that the name of the villain in it is Hans Peter.” “And then?” “That has been enough to hurt him dreadfully.” “I don't quite understand yet.

Agnes thought that wag a slap in her face.” “Once more I don't follow you.” “You cannot have forgotten that her first baby was born eight months after her wedding.” “Now you must forgive me, dear. I never for a moment thought of count- fng the months. I took the baby's birth as a most natural event.” The novelist’s wife kissed him ten- , derly. “You will promise me never to use my relatives as models?” “‘Models, darling. I never use mod- People think so in their own silly But I promise I shall be very minds. elther Uncle Hans or Cousin Theobald or Sister Agnes.

Then comes the conmet and the young man wins.” The novelist wrote his famous book, “The Usurer's Daughter,” which cre- ated such a sensation in the literary world. The magazine rights were sold to the “Copenhagen Magagine.” When he received his check from the editor of the magazine he present- ed his wife with a diamond ring and took her to the Royal theater in the evening. Two months later the pook camal out, and the next day a distant relative of the author's wife called to see her. She recelved him very coldly, hav- ing always disliked him most cordial- ly, but he did not seem to notice it. He walked straight up to her and threw a copy of the Copenhagen Maga- zine on the table in front of her, “Is your husband in?" he asked. “No, he is not,” she repled. “He 18 a scoundrel,” he hissed. “In this story he calls me a usurer. There fs not the slightest doubt that he means me. As if T were not entitled | to charge a miserable 2 per cent a : month on the security I get.

It was the fatherinlaw of the novelist, the well-known minister | of a fashionable church, a stout, smooth-shaven man with gold-rimmed spectacles. “You miserable hound,” he hissed, and his eyes shot fire, “What {s the matter?” The reverend gentleman threw a copy of the book on the table. “A gentleman does not use models for the person {n his books, you rascal. You write here that I am a hypocrite who goes to church in the morning and spend my evenings with girls of the streets in private rooms of night res- taurants. You cannot deny it. You mean me."” The novelist stared at the angry man, dumfounded The minister went on: “What you write is true enough, very true indeed, but it {s the duty of a minister of the church to study vice In order to be able to denounce it from the pulpit, and that is what I have been doing. How conld I speak of im- morality unless I had studled it close by and gathered experience? words fail me to express what I think of your conduct, sir.” He rushed out of the room. In the evening a letter came from Cousin Theobald, who wrote: “Tomorrow I shall sue your husband | for once more making use of my name | In his novels and insinuating that my father-in-law i{s a usurer, when as 8| matter of fact, he has never charged | more than 14 per cent interest on the few loans he has ever made.” Here the novelist threw up his hands in despair and vowed that he | | would go abroad with his wife for a | yvear while writing his next novel.
