Excerpt from The Eternal Magdalene
Ohn bellamy had been connected with the Star in some editorial capacity or other for nearly nine years. When he graduated from High School at the age of eighteen, it had been his ambition to go to college, but his father had died suddenly during the vacation which had followed his commencement, and six months later, his mother, who had been unable to withstand the shock of her husband's death, succumbed, partly of a broken heart, partly of ill-health. Bellamy was then thrown on his own resources; his ambition was swallowed up in the necessity of making his own living. Duncan Harrison, the owner and proprietor of the largest and most influen tial newspaper in the city where Bellamy lived, had been an old and intimate friend of Bellamy's father, and it was natural that he should have taken the young man under his protection and made a place for him on the staff of his publication.
At first Bellamy had chafed under the routine, for it was not what he had planned for himself. But, as the years went by, the great newspaper game, with its struggles and its hardships, its interests and its rewards.
