To Buy Bloodhounds

An effort is being made to raise
money by private subscription to
buy pair of bloodhounds for the use
of the police department of the city.
The amount to be raised Is about $500
and those subscribing to the fund will
be given the use of the hounds at any
time their services are needed free of
charge. The necessary amount will
probably be raised without difficulty.

GOLD DIooINos OF CAPE HORN

G.. p. Putnam's Sons announce that
they will issue in November book OF
travel entitled 1.-The Gold Diggings of
Cape Horn, a Study of Life in TERRA
del Fuego and Patagonia" by John r..
Spears, of the New York Sun. a re-
porter "who has Travelled in more out
of-the-way places than any man in
American Journalism" The book, as a
whole, presents the narrative of a
journey made in an Argeptine naval
transport along the coast of Patagon-
la, around TERRA del Fuego and off TO
the east end of that grave yard of
Cape Horn ships"-Staten Island.
Tales are told of wealth acquired
where gold dust was scraped up with
a spoon, of nuggets, big as kernals OF
corn" and of a low-tide sea-beach
placer, where more lives have been
lost than rich strikes made. The cat
boat outfits OF the prospectors and tho
prospectors and the frightful perils OF
the region receive full attention. Much
space Is given to the queer settlements
of white people. and to the great for
tunes made by the desert sheep own
ers, while one short chapter is devoted
TO the remarkable vagabonds, the
tramps of Patagonia. who live in the
same fashion as do the tramps in the
United States. although the region is
for the most part, a trailless desert
with springs OF sweet water as far as
from 80 to 100 miles apart. The author
was so much impressed by the natural
good qualities of the four tribes OF
aborigines in the region that he has
dedicated the book ITO all who are in
terested in the Red Aborigines of the
Americas as God made them" One OF
these tribes has been almost extermi-
mated, and has become utterly degrad-
ed, as a result of well-meaning bui
mistaken missionary work. His atten'
tion was directed from time TO time &c
the Gauchos. or South American cow
boys. and also to the pecuharties o.
the birds and beasts of the desert. Il
is not unlikely that many readers vii
find the chapters devoted TO these top
les OF even more interest than the
story of the diggings. The book viii

lection OF photographs. and will con
tain also an accurate map OF the re
gion.

STEvENSON'S UNPUBLISHED
NOVEL.

"St Ives" the novel left substan-
TALLY complete, and unpublished, by
Robert Louis Stevenson at his death,
is described as purely a romance OF
adventure. 1t is the story Of a French
prisoner captured in the Peninsular
wars, who is shut up in Edinburgh
castle; there he falls in love with a
Scotch girl who, with her aunt, fire.
quently visits the prisoners. There Is
early in the story duel under extra
ordinary circumstances, between st.
Ives and a fellow-prisoner; after vari-
Gus episodes a dangerous plan of es-
cape is decided upon, and the daring
st. Ives finally becomes a free man.
The perils that he undergoes while in
hiding about Edinburgh, his adven-
lures on the great North road with
strangers and robbers. his final escape
across the border into England, his
subsequent return to Edinburgh, and
many other incidents of this splendid
ly conceived story are told in the spir-
tied, vivacious and wonderful style of
which Stevenson was a master.
Sidney Colvin-himself an author
and critic OF rare apff1ty ana a r7sfrf'tef
of style-says of this that "as tale OF
adventure, manners, and the road.
which is all IL was meant to be, IL
will be found a very spirited and en-
PERTAINING piece" S. S. Mcclure, linn

IL he does not treat Lorris right Will
son in due time turns out to be a mis-
creant, who makes his young wife's
life a hell upon earth. This part of
the story. detailing the wretched exis-
tence of husband and wife, is very
powerfully and realistically written.
The father, though his daughter makes
no complaint, divines the true state of
affairs, goes to California unknown to
his daughter, carries out his threat,
and then returns, undiscovered, to
Missouri.
After this, Lorris finds a home with
a wealthy old lady, Mrs. Cameron,
with whose son. John, she in course OF
time falls in love. This son is a con-
firmed misogynist. whose hatred of
women is the outcome of his own
youthful marital experiences, his wife,
whose second baptismal name had also
been Lorris, having, in their two years
of married life before her early death.
broken his heart.
The son. after all. finds himself un-
able to withstand Lorris' attractions.
and loves and marries her. After some
years of welded bliss, Lorrfs dies,
when a startling change takes place.
and the bereaved husband sees. on the
face of the dead woman, the features
of his first wife. The idea conveyed Is
that the spirit of the first wife had
been reincarnated in the person OF
Lorris. and appropriately punished
and purified by being made to suffer
at the hands of her husband Wilson,
treatment similar to that which she
had dealt out to her first husband, and
is thereby redeemed and reunited to
him. Thus does the spirit of the first
wife. by bringing happiness to him at
the last, atone for the wrong which
she had done him.
The old moral that man is purified
by suffering, and will reap what he
sows, is very cogently inculcated in
this remarkable story.

SCRlBN ER'S.

Scribner's Magazine enters upon its
10th year with several new depart
ments and a most promising outlook
for interesting features. What most
readers VIII first turn to is the long
expected serial by ]. NJ. Barrie. his
only fiction since the publication of
The Little Minister" four years ago.
In these times OF prolific novelists 1t
is unusual for one OF the most popu-
lar of them TO show the reticence ex-
hibited by Mr.. Barrie. A reading of
this first long instalment of 'Senti-
mental Tommy" (25 pages OF which are
given) will convince every one that
Mr.. Barrie has produced a master
piece. The very first line Introduces
the hero himself. whose mother Is
Thrums woman. but living in the East
End OF London. There is humor and
pathos in every page, with abundant
indications that the career OF 'Senti-
mental Tommy" viii be watched with
almost unequalled eagerness by the
reading world. A new portrait OF Bar
rie with several full-page pictures by
Hatherell accompanies the story.
