STORY WITHOUT AN END.
Serial Novelist who wouldn't Bring His
Work to a Termination.

Work to Termination
Have you heard of my friend P,
who used to write for the State Boys
Own. The publisher of that remark
able paper-I am not sure that it had
an editor-offered P. cent a word
for story of adventure. and P. agreed
to write it in chapters, supplying them
weekly till the tale had been told. The
chapters went to press as fast as they
came Presently the publisher became
FESTIVE. People in this story were do
ing extraordinary things, and never
getting anywhere. P. left them in the
most awful plights whenever he wrote
ITO be continued in our next. At
the sixtieth chapter he was no nearer
to a solution of the plot than he had
been in the sixth. The publisher
wrote to P. begging him to close the
narrative as quickly as possible. but P
replied with another batch, which end
ed. like the others, with the heroine
hanging over an abyss by the eye
brows and the villain holding her
would-be rescuer by the throat against
a tree a mile away and chortling with
ghoulish glee. Every chapter ended
like that, so that there simply had to
be another one to explain it, and get
the suffering people out of trouble.
The publisher did not dare to inter
fere. His customers would insist on
the end of the story. P. was an in
ventive cuss. and he kept that story
going until the publishers hair turned
white, and he drew under his cent-a-
word contract, about SIS week, and
drank champagne. Violent threats at
last obliged him to kill off most of his
characters and write the long delayed
word. Finis.-New York Independent

It turns out that the breechloader

test in hard fought battles at MARSHA
Tour and Woerth in the Franco-Prus-

predicted by the Germans of their
breechloading needle guns, but when
it came to battle with the French they
found their match in the chassepo'
and the mitrailleuse, or machine gun.
The losses in the Franco-Prussian war
at Mars-Ia-Tour were 16 per cent ana
at Woerth IA per cent, which are

But the real test is when one weapon

efforts were made the world over to
