As mentioned here last month, Seabury Quinn has finally succeeded in turning out another Jules de Grandin story, "The Jest of Warburg Tantavul" ... The reason for the delay was that Quinn has been so extremely occupied with work for his own journal Casket & Sunnyside, that he found it almost impossible to spare the extra time...A few days after completing the story, when Quinn was again up to his neck in work at his office, to make up for time he borrowed in writing the story, he discovered he had been summoned to serve a full week on a jury - and not even Jules de Grandin could get him out of it!...Willard E. Hawkins, editor of the Author & Journalist, who also wrote "The Dead Man's Tale," which was the first story in the first issue of Weird Tales, has written a most interesting booklet, "Castaways of Plenty," showing up fallacies in our economic system.
