At least dozen trivial accidents or in

any one OF them been lacking he would
have been saved. Had the catch on the
sliding door to the elevator shaft been per-
feet; had the door run properly in its grows
and not ''choked'' at the bottom; had the
elevator boy seen that it was closed before
going on; had his friend taken him by the
hand few seconds earlier or later, or had
the elevator gone little farther up so
that the light in it would not have shone
across the darkened hall, and misled him
into the idea that it was still in place, no
accident could have occurred.
All these trivial things however, seemed
to work together to insure his destruction.

it on that floor to discharge a passenger,

NEW YORK, = =. Two young woni-

about in literary circles. One of these is
Miss Sarah Orne Jewett, and the other is
Miss Mary Wilkins. Miss Jewett's name
has been familiar one to magazine read
ers for a number of years, but it is only
within few months that Miss Wilkins
has achieved notoriety The popularity
which these women have secured is due to
causes which in some respects are identi-
cal and in Others entirely different. Miss
,Jewett's literary growth has been rather
slow, and at one time there was suspi-

which regards The Atlantic Monthly as
