Mulvaney intimated that the Publisher had permission to withdraw. Thereafter, with the Broker's aid, he filled seven papers, secured sixtcen visa’s, twelve sets of initials, and rub- innumerable; he attested And at last the wildly in all religions. entire Rigmarole was tied up with a pretty ribbon and deposited in a Slit; and he was told that he might now go home and await developments. He went home and waited. Nothing developed. very morning regularly as the dawn came out of the East he called the Broker and sought for news of his package, and every morning he was told that all that could be done was being done. Three weeks passed. Then one morning he was told that fixed for the Great Day And he was to call at the Custom House, and he was to swear to just one little document more, and then | he should depart in peace with his prize. Raw, cold and dismal dawned the morn- ing of the Great Day, and with fore- boding in his heart the Publisher an- swered the first telephone call of the Great Day. It was the Broker.

The Author has now gone back to his home in England. But the Pub- lisher still thinks it was a good idea to publish that book quickly while he was in America. Meanwhile, the Drawings are at the Post Office, or the Custom House, or somewhere else. Only one thing is cer- tain, and that is that they are not in the custody of the Artist, or the Author, or the Publisher, or the Broker, or any other known person.
