The snuabhla befwcen- .Mcclurc,s

The sQuabble Between McClurc's
Magazine and the Pail Mall Magazine
over the serial rights of Robert LOUIS
Steyenson's posthumous unfinished
story, "St. Ives" calls attention to the
fact that some of the English maya
zines are trying to get even with their
American competitors, which have in
vaded the English field, by bidding for
an American audience. The Pail Mall
has Iui1e a large circulation in this
country. One little fact brought to
light by the controversy is the relative
prices of some of the work OF popular
writer's. MIR. Mcclure says that he pii
Kipling twice as much for the serial
rights-of Captain Courageous" as ''St.
Ives" cost McClure's and. the Pail Mall
together. " ~

on trial, was clothed with scarlet
robe. In Mark, Luke and John it is
recorded that he wore purple robe.
In Matthew, Mark and Luke we read
that one Simon of Cyrene, bore the
cross to the. place of crucifxion. In
John it is written that Jesus bore the
cross himself. All differ as to the words
written above the cross. Matthew has
it: This is Jesus the King of the
Jews; Mark: The King of the Jews;'
Luke: This is the King of the Jews :
John: Jesus of Nazareth, the King of
the Jews I say to you that these
very differences stamp the gospels with
divine truth. Now if the young ladies
had gotten together in collusion to tell
a story of the writing of will that
never existed, they would have agreed
upon the details as to the paper, ink,
etc. This would have been their first
thought. Their recollections differ be-
cause the act of which they have tes-
titled occurred when their souls were
troubled at the deathbed of their be-
loved mother. As with the gospels,
the discrepancies of their evidence is
a testimony of the truth of what they
utter" Senator Morgan won the case.

down and stood OH the identical spot
and made the same identical offer. The
spokesman in this case was also one OF
the sailors, and he stated that they had
driven Ben johnson out OF the camp
and would have no more to do with
him. Captain Clark returned about the
same answer, and the words and actions
of the mutineers left no room for doubt
that they had planned our destruction.

cincts and vote for you, but remained
away from the polls, and that you
were not the choice of the colored vo-
ters of said congressional district for
their representative in congress.
Your seventh ground of contest is
stated in such general terms and is so
indefinite, that it is impossible for me
to point out the gross error of such
statements in particular and in detail /;
but I deny that the board of registra-
ton, in examining applicants for regis
tration for said election, were unfair
and impartial and illegally registered
more than 5000, or any number of
Democrats, without any examination
as to their qualifications, and without
requiring them to read or explain any
section of the constitution of South
Carolina, and in many cases, without
an application by the person registered, ,
as alleged therein but on the con-
trary, allege that said boards of regis
tration acted with strict fairness and
impartiality, and that they illegally
registered no persons who were per.
mitted by the board of managers of
the various precincts in said district to
cast their votes at said election for me.
I deny each and every allegation
contained in the eighth and ninth
grounds of your notice of contest, the
same being 80 general and indefinite,
that more particular and detailed de-
nial cannot be made. That said elec-
ton held on the 3rd of November,
1896, and the registration therefor were
conducted fairly and impartially, with
out discrimination and in accordance
with the constitution and laws of the
state of South Carolina and of the
United States and that you failed to
receive no vote that you were lawfully
entitled to receive, and that all persons
who voted for me were legally regis
tered and qualified voters.

CHAPTER XIV.
A DEATH ON BOARD.

At an early hour next morning after
the tragedy recorded in the previous
chapter q number of the mutineers ap-
peared on the beach, where their pro-
visions yet lay in heap, and began to
carry off various articles Our hope that
johnson might have been one OF the trio
seized by the sharks was soon dlssl'
pated, as he was the fourth or fifth
man to appear. Without 80 much as
look at the ship he began shouting Or
ders, and for an hour was constantly IN
sight. At the end of that time every.
thing had been carried out Of sight
among the bushes When ready to go,
Johnson turned to face us, drew himself
ND, and, fastening his gaze on Captain
CLARK, he said:
Captain, I was playing you soft yes
terday when told you that we'd be
content with the provisions. We want
the bark, and We'll keep trying for
her as long as there's man left alive.
You've shown us no mercy and need
expect none from u.s."
"Well, what's your point?' asked the
captain as the fellow paused.
"It's just this: Give us the bark,
and we'll go away in her and leave you
In comfortable shape on the island. Re-
fuse us, and we'll find way to destroy
ship and all of you, even if we perish
at the same time. It tshouldn't rest with
you and your bloody mates to say no tc
this, for the men with wives and chill
dren ought to have word. Look here,
Saunders, Smith, Williams, you women
who want to see home again, are you
going to-
Captain Clark had a rifle in his
hands. He raised it to his shoulder and
covered the convict and said to him:
"I'll count five and then drop you
dead in your tracks,"
He counted one, two, three, and then
Johnson turned and walked away. 1t
Itwas not bluff on the captains part
His finger was pressing the trigger, and
he would surely have sent bullet into
the fellows head. He would have beep
justified in doing it, but thus far we
had shed blood only in defense. Some
of the people were disposed to believe
that if the mutineers meditated any
further move johnson would have been
too politic to utter threats, but two or
three of us took different view Of the
matter. He was not diplomat He
was a man utterly without fear, and
when there was chance for fight he
never thought Of using strategy to Sc
cure an advantage. Defeat had worked
him up to that pitch where he must
free his mind, and he would need watch
ing none the less for announcing his de-
termination.
If tho wind had not shifted directly
into the south, making it an utterly i'm
possible thing to sail the bark out of the
bay, no matter how large q crew she
might have had aboard, I think our cap
tain would have carried her out and
made shift to at least reach another an
chorage. The nervous strain had begun
to tell on US and some Of the women
were right down i'll, and the knowledge
that we were still in peril and might
have to fight for our lives at any min
ute had no consolation in it.
81 don't know what plans they
have" said Captain Clark as we coun-
seled together, "but we must be wide

"Sir," said the indignant alderman
"are you not aware that were to vote
for your measure I would be exposed to
the condemnation Of all the good cltl-
ems in my ward? And that sort OF
thing" he added, lowering his voice,
"comes pretty high, you know. "-lndl-

STRICTLY REPUBLICAN.
Is the Quarrel Between Factions in
Fourth District.

NEwKlRK, Dec. 2s-The candidacy
OF j. R. Scott Of this city for the ap-
pointment Of judge OF the Fourth judi
cial district, to succeed Judge Bierer,
has aroused quite bitter fig bit in the
Republican party in this county, be-
tween the friends and enemies OF
Scott. Dan Lawhead is leading the
opposition, and to strengthen his fight
against Scott has started Repu blicAn
paper, the frst issue of which has just
made its appearance. Lawhead, in hls
paper, deals Scott several hard blows
upon the solar plexus of his political
aspiration, and at the same time
swipes Secretary Jenkins a few upper
cuts, Secretary Jenkins being one Of
Scotts most ardent hackers. What
the outcome will be is difficult prob
lem to solve, but II serves to amuse
the Democrats and Populists, particu-
larly, as it is no fight of theirs.
