OF the manuscripts left unpublished
by Robert Louis Stevenson at his death
mot many, by the way0 the first to
reach the public is collection of very
original ''Fables" in the September num-
Der of McClure's Magazine. One of
them is conversation between John
Silver and "Cap'n" Smollett, of "Treas-
ure Island which is as delicious in it's
way as anything those worthless do or
say in "Treasure Island itself. III the
same number Anthony Hope relates
another adventure Of the ever-charming
Princess Osra, an encounter in the
forests of Zenda with an attractive and
most courteous highwayman. There
is also a romantic tale of court intrigue
by Stanley J. Weyman, and a new
Drumtochty story by Ian Maclaren, the
author of beside the Bonnie Briar
Bush" Elizabeth Stuart Phelps sup
plies an admiring review of an earlier
story Of Ian Maclaren's, "Afterwards,
which appeared in NcCIares last
spring. Of the illustrated articles,
Cleveland Moffet's interesting account
of the artist Will H. Low, and his work,
with the beautiful reproductions of
drawings and paintings, must be men
| toned first; but, in the nature of things,
a greater thrill is to be derived from
Mr.. Garrett P. Serviss's account of the
experiences of an amateur mOuntaineer
in climbing the Matterhorn. In addi-
ton to these, there are authoritative
articles, with plenty of pictures, on the
past and soon to come; an account of
John Kellys resuscitation of Tammany
as political power, from the dissolu-
ton in which it had been left by Tweed;
a story from the Pinkerton archives of
a long mysterious express robbery; and
an account by Edmund Kirke,' derived
largely from Garfield himself, of Gar
fields ride at Chickamauga up per-
fectly exposed hillside, under the enc
my's constantine.
"Compulsion in Child Training" is
the subject which the Rev. Charles H
Parkhurst, D. d., discusses wisely
and well in the September Ladies

supplemented by Edward w. Bok's eX-
