soon as i was given an executive
position. By that time I knew how
dreadful and unfair life really was.
so I resolved to write about it. Im
mediately and innocently I began a
novel.
At the time, thru some error, I
was working for the contractor who
was building produce market at Fift
eenth street in Chicago. I was a
labor foreman in charge of digging
assorted ditches and cleaning negli
ge nf sewers. I conld not restr.Tin the
inspiration that came out of the
ground. Then, when the market was
finished I watched the daily parad
of international fruits and vege
tcbles. At night. I dreamed of ro
mantic rutabagoes. coquettish canta
loupes, wayward watercress and pas
sionate pineapples.
I worked eight hours a day, com
muted three hours and wrote vivious
ly in the evening. While I wrote,
my wife sat behind me in a rocking
chair. She rocked at least once for
every word I put down. Occasion
ably, when I flourished a six-syllable
word, she fell over backward
with enthusiasm, but I had to renew
the rented furniture two or three
times.
Eventually, the novel was finished,
and so was the author. After I had
completed it, I did rot know what to
do with it. If it had been a chair
I would have sat on it. If It had
betn a button, I could have sewed
it on. But it lacked all the require
ments of a home utility. My wife
suggested that I send it away. She
had heard that there were companies
that openly admitted that they hand
led such merchandise.
My manuscript weighed three
pounds and four ounces, so I knew
that it must be a very good novel.
I weighed hundreds of published
novels and was overjoyed to find
that all of Harper's novels weighed 1
exactly three pounds and four:
ounces, so I sent it to them with
a great deal of confidence.
I have forgotten the date the
manuscript was sent, but I know
that my son was about four days
old at the time. I knew that hej
would be proud if his papa wrote a t
book which would chew well and Ij
hoped to get the publishing contract ,
before he got all his teeth. Weeks!
passed, months passed, our postman i
died, and the European debts were
Fettled. My boy grew on and on.
Whenever he saw a new letter, he
would ask. "Is that a letter from
Harpers, father?" and I would reply,
"Patience, son. patience."
I began to fear his critical judg
ment. I knew that he would call
the plot juvenile and would say that
the characters were poorly drawn.
At times I wished that I had never
written it at all. for I dreaded to
lose my child's respect.
Occasionally. I thought that the
manuscript had been lost in the
mail, so I asked congress to investi
gate the postofRee department. The
committee in charge of the investi
gation that Harpers had received the
novel a few days after I sent it. It
had been a difficult job to go back
so far into their records, but con
gress was well satisfied with the re
sult because the whole inquiry had
cost only $200,000.
I became neurotic and erratic, de
spondent Unci bed-ridden. I could
see nothing but death ahead of me.
Finally, eventually, and at last, the
publishing contract for "The Bad
Samaritan" came. I forget now
whether it was on Christmas eve or
Easter Sunday. I remember that my
youngest child had just gone off to
college, because I was too weak to
prevent it. My wife sat by my bed in
her wheel chair and grey hair and
while we were discussing the new
styles in fire-crackers, an old soldier
entered with a large brown envelope.
"Can it be my insurance policy?" .
I asked.
"No, I think its a letter from the
cemetery man," said my wife cheer-.
fully.
We opened It and stared at the
publishing contract.
"They must have made a mistake
in their office." I whispered, "I never
wrote a novel."
"Of course you didn't," said my
wife, "you have more sense than
