seventy-five cents clear to Twain and his partner.
The shrewd humorist had to risk his entire

to shirk the chances of .oss by dividing the
possible profits. and the net result to him and
his partner will be a quarter to a third OF a

No. l will be commenced August %, on the
conclusion Of "Cut by the County" now APP
pearing in our columns, and Nos. 9 and 3 will
follow in succession.
We may add that the stories are written in
Hugh Conway's vivid and graphic style, the
situations are most effective, the current
problems of social relations and varying phases
of domestic life worked out in them are in
tensely interesting, and the characters leave
the reader with distinct impressions such as
are caused by people of striking personality in
actual life.
The appropriateness of this intervention in
the existing arrangements for our Serial Lit
erature will be self-evident. The recent la
mentable and all too early decease Of the
brilliant novelist naturally excites great in
terest in the work he has left behind, and
calls for its publication as soon as practicable.
We shall, therefore, defer the completion Of
the Octave Of Short Stories b. Distinguished
Authors in order that the trio left by HUGH
CONWAY may be commenced in our columns
at the earliest date.
On September 81 the publication of the
Octave of Short Stories will be resumed by
WILKIE COLLINS, and continued by stories
from the rens of RHODA BROUGHTON and
THOMAS HARDY.
