Before I became connected with The Organ 1 had a vague notion that pa pers. generally speaking, came out at a 1 fixed time. That. Taylor assured me, was an amateur Idea. What was want ed, he said, was originality. “Take the public by surprise, so to speak Keen them on the tiptoe of expectancy.” So each week the paper was issued to a thirsting public on a different day. It Is strang - how prejudiced the public Is. The few shops that had taken The Organ wrote complalntngly of Its un-] certainty and theratened to drop it In consequence; but then, as Dick said, J who cared for them? The articles In our paper were mark ed hy a degree of originality and fear- j Jessness such as I have never met with j in any other periodical. Thrones must have trembled and tyrants tottered when they read The Organ. “It s all very well for you chaps,” raid Taylor, ‘‘but tho tremendous re sponsibility is wearing me to a thread. You don’t seem to understand how much The Organ will cost the oppres sors of the poor.” ■One hundred and fifty pounds." muttered Bob, gazing gloomily at a pile ~f returns. “One hundred End fifty' pounds and not a penny to show for It." j ■Going to press woe the most ex< tting time of the week.

The sketch j vi-as about -00 words and w« decided that wed make It five pounds, aa she; W.is a lift. Miss Nora Morris often railed up as- j ter tha't and we got quite friendly with j her and told her all our trials and trou ble* with The Organ.’ She seemed. | however, to like to talk about Dick more than the afflicted, which wa*. strange, a* J always thought women] were tenderhearted. Dick aeerned to have grown a deal I ‘older and graver than h? had been and some of the fellows grumbled because, they said, the paper wa* so much tamer than it used to be. I think Dirk : had changed 111* opinion alxmt what I the public wanted. I He said that at present they <the ! public) were not educated up lo so I much rlglnallty and that It was better to train them by degree*. The com positor had been discharged long ago land Dick made other arrangements. I [ learned that he had sold out the small sum his mother had left him invested I in consols and paid the printing and paper bills In full. He wanted to give Bob back the £l5O, but Bob wouldn't touch a farthing. The Oigan had always meant a lot more to Dick than the rest of us and i now he threw himself heart and soul into the work, writing most of l lie- ar ticles and mastering al* the business details in the most wonderful manner. But In suite of ail his efforts the re turns grew smaller and smaller and the ] poor old Organ walled only very in termittently. One afteinoon when as usual W;< turned up to see the paper go to press we found Dick, stern and despairing, all alone. “it's all over, you fellows,” he said. •‘The Organ’s dead, I’ve no money, and It'S no use trying for tick. You'd belter go. all of ycPi," he added with a catch in his voice. “There’s nothing to wait for.” and il was that very after noon. of all other, that -Miss Norn Morris chose to call. To fell Ihe truth we were miserably poor. Bob had given UP bis watch weeks before and f don't believe Dick had had a proper dinner for days.
