The cabin had evidently been built for some time and among other odds and ends it contained an old copy of SHORT STORIES. I read the magazine through several times and one short article or verse on the North interested me especially. As there was nothing to do except tend fires, to pass away the time, I tried my hand at a little verse of my own. A few days ago in going through my camping togs I came across it. Have you encountered SHORT STORIES under unusual circumstances? If so, let us hear about it; the members of the CIRCLE are no doubt interested in hearing of the queer adventures and experiences of the magazine--many of them no doubt more startling than anything that ever gets between its covers. THE MAIL BAG So many interesting letters are arriving from members of the CIRCLE lately, that it is a temptation to crowd everything else out to give them room. The more the merrier--and the better for SHORT STORIES--so keep right on sending them. Here is one from a former South African, who will be pleased to know that there are several more of Greene's "Major" stories on the press right now: Editor, SHORT STORIES. I am a South African by birth, having been born in Johannesburg, South Africa, during the time Oom Paul Kruger ran the Transvaal Republic. Have been in America about twelve years and am proud to say that I am an American citizen; nevertheless, I have the kindest thoughts and remembrances of my native land and I certainly enjoy the "Major" stories. They are well written and the author must know his South Africa, which is a good field for good stories. THEO. BEHR.
