sixty Stories at Once.

Here is a good story of Justin McCarthy. It refers to the dav when the Galaxy was alive., Sheldon & Col were the publishers of the magazine. McCarthy had submitted a story. One day he said to Mr. Sheldon: “I have come to see if you will take that story I offered the Galaxy ?” “Yes,” cordially responded Mr. Sheldon; “and sixty more like it.” Time passed, and one dav McCarthy walked into the Galaxy office with an imposing pile of manuscript under his arm. “What is that?” asked Mr. Sheldon. McCarthy laid the bundle of manuscript upon the publisher’s desk and replied: “Here are the sixty stories you ordered on the occasion of my last visit.” He got a check covering the whole sixty.— N.
