THE OTHER VERSION
Miss Jane Barlow sent a poem as a first, contribution to the Cornhill Magazine when James Payn was its editor. Think of the lady receiving a brief line, scrawled in James's fearful chirography, which she interpreted as follows: — ' I have no use for silly verses.' Of course, Miss Barlow indulged in copious tears. There nevej was such an ill-mannered snub. Then she commenced to study the scrawl. Now came a gleam of light, for she dimly made out what it really was : ' I hope to use your pretty verses.'
