"Who's Who" educates him "privately," at Univer- sity College, Dublin, and at Paris and use in inquiring how true it had been in the beginning. He saw himself as an Irish hero (which is perhaps one requisite of being an Irish hero) , and he had the obstinacy, the strength and the imagination to make others see Leipzig, but omits to mention any de- himself in that light also. It was a ghee save an honorary B.A. in 1909. It light as jeweled as his Marco Polo, was in 1911 that he returned to New and what difference can the matter of its absolute veracity make to the understanding? At his castle in Cork he sat himself down in the mornings in a gorgeous dressing gown to con- tinue "the school of Goldsmith and Sterne" (which he feared would pass with himself) , and the prose was flow- ing out of him when he died. There is the new book about the Napoleonic days already completed, and after that (says a private letter) : "The title of my next book is "The Case Ia Altered,' from the name of a public house in Surrey. It has taken a great deal of form and vitality since we spoke of it. I have also in .mind the novel after that, ifI am spared to write it.... I told you I had bought Coolmain Castle. I ani putting in elec- tric lights, a telephone and the largest white bathroom in Ireland." He was keeping himself, he added, "as fit as the other literary gent—Gene Ten- ney."

The diplomatic service and the South American adventure should have come about that time, but on "The Brook- lyn Eagle," where he worked for a year or so as a copyreader, no one seems to remember him saying any- thing about it. The legends, however, proliferated. There is a story that he hired a room opposite the office, installed a steno- grapher, and rushed there, sandwich in hand, to dictate romantic prose dur- ing his lunch hour. His connection with "The Eagle" is supposed to have been severed when thebea was one day ccarried away by th he prose and arrived back at the copy desk fifteen minutes late. This inci- dent appears to have been forgotten on "The Eagle" but, then', on "The Bun" they remember that he was drop- ped not because he used "poor Eng- lish," as he said, but because he used English rather too good, and much too extensive, for police reporting. After that there were the maga- sines; one finds a poem of his in "Harper's" in 1912 and a short story in the "Century" in 1914, and then a rising flood of sound "magazine fic- tion." In 1917 he was living in Clark Street, Brooklyn, and•when the papers printed a paragraph about him they had to identify him as "a writer of short stories." And then one day Glenn Frank( at the time editing the "Century") was discovered in a par- oxysm of enthusiasm over a "great book and a great man."
