And it was this very situation which made his rebellious heroine of whom I have essayed to write so sore a trial to the struggling young author. It was early in May, 1895, that Harley had received a note from Messrs. Herring, Beemer, & Chadwick, the publishers, asking for a story from his pen for their popular "Blue and Silver Series."
"I've promised Herring, Beemer, & Chadwick to send them the completed manuscript by that time. Besides, no heroine of mine shall ever say that she swerved me from doing what I have set about doing. It is now or never with Marguerite Andrews." So I left him at his desk, and for a week was busy with my own affairs.
Osborne would murmur, "At last!" and the book would close with a "first kiss," followed closely by six or eight pages of advertisements of other publications of Messrs. Herring, Beemer, & Chadwick. I mention the latter to show how thoroughly realistic Harley was.
Kelly and the Professor entered the dining room at this moment, and the Professor held in his hand a copy of the current issue of The Literary Man, Messrs.

Herring, Beemer, & Chadwick, in which Stuart asked to be relieved of the commission he had undertaken: "I find myself utterly unable to complete the work in the stipulated time," he wrote, "for reasons entirely beyond my control. Nor can I at this writing say with any degree of certainty when I shall be able to finish the story.
Herring, Beemer, & Chadwick, where, after learning that their best terms were no more unsatisfactory than publishers' best terms generally are, he accepted the commission. And then, returning to his apartment, he went into what Kelly called one of his trances.
"And do you exist somewhere, or is this a 'situation' calculated to delight the American girl with pin-money to spend on Messrs. Herring, Beemer, & Chadwick's publications?" "I do exist," I replied, meekly; for, I must confess it, I realized more than ever that Miss Andrews was too much for me, and I heartily wished I was well out of it. "And I alone am responsible for this.
