tells how his success was due to The Black Cat. "THE PSYCHOLOGIST'S MASTERPIECE" by J. Rowe Webster. 8 pp. This is an unforgettable little tale. A college professor makes good his claim that "just as one repeatedly dreams the same dream, and remembers that it is the same while he is dreaming it, only to wake up and find he has forgotten it, as he has always forgotten it before, so it should be possible to write a story impossible to remember even though repeatedly perused"! "The Mysterious Mirror" by Harrison Graves. 6 1/2 pp. Not fantasy or science fiction, although in reading this story I was expecting such a solution. August "THE PALE OF MISS KNIGHT" by Elizabeth West. 12 pp. A little girl of five years is seen again just as she was twenty years before, when she had mysteriously disappeared. "Prisoners in the Tower" by Katherine Tynan. 8 pp. $100 Prize Story. "What an awful adventure it would have been with a different kind of man!" ((Katherine Tynan is the author of a good ghost story, "The Picture on the Wall", which first appeared in the English Illustrated Magazine in 1895 and was reprinted in 1933 by Montague Summers in his Victorian Ghost Stories. SDR)) "The Work of the Unloved Libby" by Susan Keating Glaspell (now one of America's leading women writers). 11 1/2 pp. $150 Prize Story. September "The Real Thing" by Harold Kinsabby. 10 pp. "Wun Lung conceived the ingenious idea of frightening the murderer away with the 'ghost' of his victim," a "ghastly dummy...constructed and set flying up and down the hill at midnight, being attached to and removed from the cable by Sing Lo and his fellow-laundrymen." "O'Brien had taken the bony semblance of his celestial victim for the Real Thing." "An Inherited Circus" by Annie Fellows Johnston. 9 1/2 pp. $125 Prize Story. "EDWARD HUNT'S PUBLISHERS" by Isabelle Pierson. 12 pp. A story of the spirit world and of an author in communion with the great literary men of other times. October (Anniversary Prize Number) "A Few Bars in the Key of G" by Clifton Carlisle Osborne. 14 pp. $2100 Prize Story. "This story is said to have been fished out of the rejection basket by Mr. Umbstaetter after it has been read by his staff readers and marked 'unavailable' It was a story that, more than any other, made an impression on Black Cat readers, and it is often spoken of today whenever writers foregather and indulge in reminiscence." Editorial in the October, 1920, Anniversary Issue. The few bars of music carry to the cowboy who had deserted his wife in unreasoning anger a message of joy and bring about a happy reunion. "Where the Lines Meet" by Frank X. Finnegan. 9 pp. $100 Prize Story. A surprising yarn of a fugitive from three states who builds a shack on the point where the boundaries of four states meet.
