RODRIGUES OTTOLENGUI.

England and has been printed in Ger
many in both German and English.
Two other novels, "A Conflict of Evi.
dence'' and 'The Modern Wizard, " fol-
lowed quickly and have rivaled the suo-
cess of the first story.
Mr.. Robert Barr, the editor Of the
London Idler, was so pleased with Gan
Artist In Crime that he wrote to the
author Offering fattering terms for a
series Of short stories to run in his
magazine year or longer. The offer
was accepted, and the series will be pub
ished simultaneously in this country,
so that it is fair to assume that this
new name to American fiction will soon
be we'll known OH both sides of the At
lantic
Mr.. Ottolengui was born in Charles
ton, S. c., and is 80 years Of age By
occupation he is dentist. He began
early to contribute short stories to the
local papers. Going to New York to
study his profession, his literary aspira-
lions were laid aside for several years,
and indeed before attempting romance
again he wrote many essays in conneo-
tion with bis profession.
Thus when Mr.. Ottolengui took up
fiction he had the advantage Of we'll
trained pen, for writer's of science must
use very exact terms in expressing their
views. On this point he is most particu
'Iar. He argues that writer should
thoroughly understand the fundamental
rudiments of his calling, and he bewails
the fact that many writer's Of the day
constantly fall into grievous errors of
English. He is therefore excessively
exartioular with his manuscript. His
method is to write out his story or novel.

Without reading it over. Then the whole

clean typewriter copy. Finally Mr..
ottolengui reads proof in galley" and

work five times he argues that no ono
should expect him to read it again after
publication. :,

she had been lately addressing herself,

She appeared, but on this occasion she had
taken him unawares and was now hold

the conservatory. just beyond them sat
a pretty girl to whom young MI. Jones was
devoted, and he longed to get over to her
and GUST the vapid youth who, young Mr..
Jones was sure, was making desperate love
to her. But Miss Brown held on like q

with deep earnestness she turned to him:

Young Mr.. Jones was absorbed in watch

Franklin Invented the Center Board.
Here OF late considerable discussion
is going the rounds as to the relative
merits Of the center-board In vessels
as being q distinctly American inven-
ton, and for that reason resting its
chief claim for superiority. To Ben
jamin Franklin belongs the honor Of
having first perceived its utility. 1t
was while working Mt his trade Of
printer In London that one day in cross
ing the Thames the strong currents
carried the fiat row boat he was In
down the stream, and 1t occurred to
him at once that IL movable board
were placed at the side and lowered as
occasion required the boat would be less
liable to be affected by the currents. This
was done so successfully that lee
boards, as they were called, soon began
to attract notice for use on shallow
vessels. until ultimately they have de-
veloped into the more pretentions

A SCAR SAVED. HIS LIFE.
A Young Man Is Nearly Hanged fol-
AnOther's Crime.

A Young Man Is Nearly Hanged for
Another's Crime.
Walter Bryant, young man with a
broad scar on his forehead and another
on his arm. has just been released from
the jail i'm ST. Joseph, Mo. Few men
have come nearer to being hanged for
crime of which they were not guilty than
Bryant, and lie owes his escape from the
gallows to a scar. A week or so ago Bry.
ant was arrested in Springfield on suspi-
cion of being Thomas Harris, wanted for
the murder of John Mcdowell seven years
ago. 1t was in vain that the young Nan
declared that he was not Harris, who had
escaped from prison while under sentence
of death. Several men who knew Harris
went to the Jail and positively identified
Bryant as the man who was wanted, but
Bryant did not lose hope until Harris's
father came and said he was his son. Bry-
ant told the authorities that his parents
and brother lived at Santa Rosa, Cal,
but there came no answer from the ad
dress he gave. He declared that he had
been arrested before on the same charge,
once at Sheridan, Wyo., and once at Lit
tie Rock, Ark, but he had forgotten tho
name of the sheriff from Atchson Coun.
IS who had gone after him and found that
he was not the right man. He remem-
bcred the year, however, and described
the sheriff. William Turner, who lives
in Red Willow County, Neb.. was sheriff
Of the county at that time and he came
to st. Joseph to save the young mans hfe.
Turner recognized the prisoner at once
and said he was not the murderer of
Mcdowell.
Bryant's statement that he has been
twice arrested before this time on account
of his resemblance to the fugitive was
confirmed by the ex-sheriff. When Tur.
ner came he brought with him n minute
description of Harris. made while tho
murderer was a prisoner in his charge.
and called attention to a scar on the left
ankle, which could not be found on Bry-
ant. He said the resemblance between
the two men was perfect, with this ex.
ceptiOn. The absence of that scar on the
ankle has probably been the means of
saving Bryant from being executed for
another mans crime.

PROMPT RESCUE AT SEA.

Ship in Seven Minutes.

Much Soaked Man Returned to the
Ship in Seven Minutes.
A story of the prompt rescue of a
IMAM overheard" at sea, in which a
prominent seafaring man OF this city
figured, Is told by n correspondent as
follows: NEARLY a quarter of a cen
tury ago the steamship Yazoo, under
the command of Capt. l.. ID. Barrett, Of
Philadelphia, was slowly feeling her
way down the harbor Of Havana. Light
ers were towing alongside, and sailors
and stevedores and lightermen We're
hustling to get the last package on
board and still get past the Moro be-
fore shutdown. The quartermaster was
in the act of striking eight bells when a
shrill shrek from aloft, followed by n
bounding body and n splash in the sea,
gave notice of a man overheard. The
Captain promptly signaled the engineer
to reverse the engines. A big white
life buoy, always ready, was well
thrown by the long Purser Metcalfe,
and a rush was made for the purser s
gig which was still hanging by her falls,
the gripes not having been secured.
AS the drop Of the boat from her falls
was heard, a shrill whistle came over
the waters, and the men buckled to
their oars, shouting encouragingly to
the swimmer. BY this time the power
full engines had overcome the Roadway,
and the ship was backing as fast as the
boat pulled, so that when man ana
buoy were picked up they were almost
alongside, and the boat and crew We're
lifted to the rail by the run.
"Oh! am all broke to pieces" were
the first words from the sea-soaked
man.
"Well, we've got the pieces, 90 ahead
with the ship" was the Captains an
swer
Seven minutes, sir" was reported Dy
the quartermaster
"Seven minutes, SIR" came from the
engine-room, and the crew went back
to their duty after seven minutes of the
sharpest work ever done under the cir
