A Coincidence and a Recon
sideration.
BY J. P. COUGHLIN.
( Copyright. 1901 , by Dally Story Pub. Co. )
Paul Westover had every reason to
congratulate himself upon the success
of his new book. The public received
it with gratifying approval , and the
critics bestowed upon it well-tempered
commendation. Being a first-born ,
however , the critics felt bound to pa
tronize both it and its writer in their
customary paternal fashion , and while
lauding its other excellent qualities
they pointed out and dwelt upon the
un-realistic improbabilities of the
main incidents in which Mr. West-
over's heroine was centered.
That this should be so was only
natural : Mr. . ' Westover was ridicu
lously young to know anything of the
impenetrable feminine , and yet he had
dared to make "Gertrude Warner" the
story of a woman's life , a story of
many strange phases , and of curious
though incorrect , said the reviewers ,
insights into the workings of a young
girl's mind.
Westover was almost on the point
of accepting the critic's dictum. He
had fancied that his portrayal of Ger
trude Warner was well and clearly im
agined , but after all what could he , a
bachelor and impressionable , know of
women. The reviewers must be right.
Gertrude Warner was falsely drawn.
But there was at least one person
who did not think with the reviewers.
The newly-fledged author received in
his mail from his publishers a long
letter that was truly startling to his
self possession. Its full length may
not be given here but Its gist is con
tained in a couple of paragraphs.
"You are evidently very intimately
acquainted with the story of the dark
est passages in my life , but surely it
was unnecessary that the details
should be made public so faithfully
and so callously. I would like to think
that your story was purely a coinci
dence and evolved entirely from your
own imagination , but the details up to
the denouement , in every particular ,
are so carefully true to fact that I
have no other course than to believe
that some unworthy recipient of my
confidence has in an idle moment be
trayed my unhappy history.
"Doubtless you will admit that I
have at least the right of asking an
explanation , the more especially , see
ing that you have even given to your
novel a title so like the name borne
by her who asks it.
"GERMYN WARREN. "
Westover finished the reading of this
letter with a rue expression. He
whistled softly to himself and looked
blankly at the wall in an endeavor to
collect his thoughts and adequately
consider the situation presented to
him. In a moment the humorous as
pect of the affair dawned upon him and
he laughed quizzically.
"One of the delights of novel-writ
ing , " he murmured aloud ; "is to run
across some hysterical woman who
finds your book a mirror of her past.
A startling letter.
If I am expected to reply to all such
my hands will be full. Yet what a
splendid answer to the critics.
His better and more sympathetic
nature , however , for as yet he was not
experienced enough to be callous , as
serted itself , and he penned a duly
consolatory letter to Miss Germyn
Warren.
A week later Paul Westover had an
encounter that caused him consider
able embarrassment.
"Mr. Westover , our youngest nov
elist , Miss Warren. "
The serenity and self-containedness
of the frail pretty girl before him was
in striking contrast to the blushing
stammering awkwardness of the young
author. The clear blue eyes , however ,
put him at his ease quickly and he
found himself lost in amazement at
how different the girl before him was
from the morbid woman with a past
he had pictured her.
"Your letter I suppose I may speak
of it was very kind , " her voice broke
musically in upon his semi-absorption ;
"but there are some things In your
book I would like to talk to you about.
May I ? "
Westover found himself In a quiet
corner of the drawing room , anticipat
ing a quarter of an hour's stern cross-
examination at the hands of Miss War
ren. Somehow the ordeal did not seem
to bo so terrible as it would have
seemed two days previously.
Sitting In his armchair that night
Paul Westover meditatively addressed
the smoke-clouds from his cigar.
"She is wonderfully pretty she has
exquisitely sweet eyes and what a
charming talker , even though we did
talk only of the serious things of life.
She is indeed an ideal heroine in real
life. "
Westover pulled himself up abruptly
and laughed a quick , nervous laugh.
"Come , this won't do contemplating
such a thing already is making haste
too quickly but that's absurd. Why
before I know it I'll be thinking of
marriage. And marriage would be the
ruin of a young writer. It would "
But then Westover repeated to him
self all the familiar arguments against
"Yes , everything Mr. Westover has
written. "
matrimony until finally he went to bed
convinced if not exactly pleased.
His encounter with Miss Germyn
Warren , and the train of thought it
prompted may have had something to
do with Mr. Westover's departure for
the west , but the literary journals an
nounced his trip as taken for the pur
pose of acquiring local color for a
new novel.
During the two years that followed
Paul Westover's literary output served
to increase considerably his growing
reputation. He returned to New York
and prepared to settle down comfort
ably to meet the demands made upon
him by his publishers. The novel , to
prepare which he left New York , was
a pronounced success , and though
his old friends , the critics , did not
appear to notice it , Paul himself was
conscious of a certain resemblance in
type between his new heroine and his
old , that is to say Miss Germyn War
ren. He tried to reason that this new
heroine was simply but a develop
ment of the Gertrude Warner of his
first book , and thus he tried to dis
pel his lingering fears that he had
drawn upon Miss Warren , his ac
quaintance of a single evening.
Again in his career Mr. Paul West-
over had an encounter which caused
him to become as discomposed and
nervous as he had been at his first
meeting with the coincidental heroine
of his first book.
It was at a literary reception.
"Permit me , Miss Warren , to intro
duce to you Mr. Paul Westover you
have , no doubt read his clever books. "
"Yes , everything Mr. Westover has
written , " said Germyn Warren , as she
extended her hand to Paul , who stood
bowing and blushing like a schoolboy.
Then with a smile of gentle mischief
playing around her lips as they were
left alone she continued : And I can
not think that Mr. Westover has for
gotten me since some of my friends
would have it I am portrayed rather
faithfully in your most recent novel
and even in several of your magazine
stories. "
Westover was plainly surprised at
this frank challenge , and for the second
end time in his life he found himself
keenly observing the heroine of his
fiction. He noticed the same clear ,
blue eyes and wondered at how close
ly he had remembered them all this
time. He found himself on terms of
old acquaintanceship with this mag
netic little girl , for she was only a
girl. For a moment until the pre
sumption of the thing struck him he
felt a tinge of regret being taken away
from New York for so long. How that
evening's reception passed he never
knew. He had a very definite notion
that he had spent by far the greater
part of the evening in the society of
Miss Warren.
That night in the seculsion of his
chambers , over his cigar , he came not
unwillingly to the conclusion that aft
er all :
"What is to be is to be , and it seems
to me that the fates have ordained
that I should create a heroine for my
self. Either I am in love or am arif ting -
ing relentlessly towards that happy
state of mind. Of course marriage is
the to-be-expected outcome of love ,
and for a young man struggling for
fame and fortune a sympathetic wife
is a great helper , a constant incent
ive " and thus he proceeded to adapt
his views to the altered state of his
circumstances.
"Who Is This Tennyson ? "
When Tennyson was nearing 60
years of age , and his fame might fair
ly be assumed to be world-wide , Ed
ward Moxon , the publisher , decided to
approach Gustave Dore and commis
sion him to illustrate the "Idylls of
the King. " After Dore had consid
ered the proposals , he asked : "Who ,
then , is this M. Tennyson ? "
