"I left tho youngsters with a houso-keeper houso-keeper and they had n cheerful wny of writing me every day that they were '.oucly and miserable. 'i used to sit up half the night answering an-swering their lottors, writing In bleak, cheerless hotel rooms I had no money for luxuries. The craving to bo with tho children was a thousand thou-sand times hnrder than tho work. Sometimes whon I could not bear it any longer I dragged them around with me. "No part of It was easy. For every step forward in my work I had a thousand thou-sand disappointments. I remember one day I went to a man's ofllco expecting to land a good contract. I failed; somobody else had landed it. Whon 1 walked out onto the street I thought I'd die If l couldn't cry. But there wasn't any place to cry, and I didn't." Ueslgnor. |
