Ziggy was clamorous for and Ziggy said that his mother down'in Tulsa, who was very fond of Anne, had wanted to know what kind of a person Dan Rarimer was "And if you don't write pretty soon," read Ziggy's threat, I'll tell her. Furthermore, I've still got that telegram you sent me just be

"Oh, I know it, but..." And Dan Interrupted her to ask where Eva had gone. "Did she go back to New Orleans?"
"Yes." She told him then about the pitiful little note that Eva had written and left for them--all the more pitiful because Eva had tried to write so bravely.

Paul irritated him sometimes, Dan thought he was a little too satisfied with things as they were, and that he ought to make mora use of his ability. He was forever i thinking of a story that he ought to write, but he never gol around to it; or, as in the case of the book he had started on, his enthusiasm soon died.
He turned back to his magazine then, but he made a sorry job of ketting anything out of it, because his thoughts persisted in dwelling on the interview he had had with Philips. Philips at that very mo- ment might be reading his manu- seript, and Dan wondered uneasily what, the man's verdict would be.
Now that the thing was out, of his hands, he could think of sev eral places where he might have improved it; but that was always the way. It had been like that when, he was writing news stories and fiction; once the stuff was, irrev ocably in print, faults became ap parent to which he had been blind when it was not too late to remedy them.
