Excerpt from A Free Lance: Being Short Paragraphs and Detached Pages From an Author's Note Book Cealed in one or more of its drawers, liter ary material that has failed of finding a place in any of his books. As time passes the mate rial increases in quantity; and sometimes, be cause oi occasional revisions, it improves in character and becomes more worthy of preserva tion. What shall he do with it?

Why should not the author, after winnowing from the grain so much of the chaff as it may be possible thus to separate from the ripe grain, gather what remains of the corn into some such granary as a book like this provides? The au thor has expressed his opinions with freedom and frankness, and he believes there are in this world many candid men and women who will wel come his frankness even though they may, in some cases, dissent from the conclusions arrived.
