He was showy, meretricious, in- rincere and be constantly advertised; these qualities in his dress. He was distinctly pretty, in spite of the fact

that his face was badly pitted with smallpox, In the days when he could afford it-ard in the days when he couldn't his clothes niways excord- ed the fashion by a shade or two, He was alway. conspicueuels a little! more intensely fashionable thou the fashionable of the rest of the com- munity.

knew him intimately when Harter and Mrs B. G. Jacobs came East five years later, in 1870, to take the editorship of the proposed Lakeside Magazine in Chirago, and crossed the continent through such a blaze of national interest and excite. nient that one might have supposed he was the Viceroy of India on a pro- gress, or Hailey's comet came again after seventy-five years of lamented absence." He knew him pretty intimately theaceforth until be cross- ed the ocean to be Consul, first at Crefeld., in Germany, and afterward in Glasgow. Harte never returned to America.

Once, on a visit to Mark Twain in Hartford, Harte declared that his fame was an accident-an accident that he much regretted for a while. The "Heathen Chinee" had been written in jest. The explosion of de- light that it caused was not entirely welcome for the reason that Harte was already at work on such things! as "The Lack of Roaring Camp" and,

Tennessee Partzer,"

In this as in other matters llarte was not as fortuuate as he seemed to better. be. It might have been Mark Twain goes so far as to say, if Harte had died in the first flush of his fame. When he started East in his new born story, with the eyes of the world upon him, "he lived all of its life that was worth living" He was entering upon a career of poverty, debt, bitterness and a world-wide fame which must have often benn odious to him." The article concluder:

There was a happy Bret Harte, conanted Bret Harte, an ambitious Bret Harts a Fopeful Bret Harte, a bright, cheerful, easy-langking Bret Harte, a Bret Hart to whom it was a bubbling and effervescent joy to be alive. That Bret Hatte died in San' Francisco. It was the corpse of that
