painfully slow.
After dinner Ellimann and Margaret
came on deck and sat down on the lee

along the lee rail, the hoarse voice Of
the captain giving orders. and the flap

Suddenly a thought struck him
which froze the blood in his veins.
Where was Margaret? He had loft
her on deck on the lee side. How far
over had the yacht gone? Had the
girl been able to hold on, or was she
even now struggling in the cruel,
black water? In less time than It

voice. He made his way as fast as

PAY OF he HglLLUsrRAroRs.

Difference Of Rates Between the "a
NOUS Artists and the Unknown.
Illustrators for books and periodi-
calls receive payment for their work
at rates that vary from less than 81
to more than 1000 a picture.
The late Hamilton Gibson, who.
without being recognized as great
illustrator, was almost alone as a
master OF botanical illustration, OBJ
tanned $3.50 for even small book H.
lustrations. For somS OF bis earlier
work, to be found in sort Of guide
book issued many years ago by the
Pennsylvania railroad. he probably
received less than one-twentieth of
that rate.
Only a few illustrators can com.
mand so much as $4,000 for full page
magazine Illustration, but several have
been receiving such rates for some
years past, and tbey often demand the
return Of the original picture after the
plate for the illustration has been
made. Such men probably never ac-
cept less than $500 or s4OO for any but
their smallest illustrations.
These are men Of worldwide reputa-
ton though it is generally believed
that two magazine readers out OF
three are unable TO recognize the
style Of the ablest illustrators, whose
pictures they see dozen times year
Below the few illustrators Of The
first rank are many extremely able
men who command rates that vary
from fourth to a half of the highest.
The best paid men can probably be
counted on the fingers OF one hand.
The men who command from 500
to $500 for full page illustration are
numbered certainly by dozens, possi-
bly, by scores Many of them. how

DUTY OF REPUBLICANS.
Nominate Clean, Upright Man For
Governor of Minnesota.

To the Editor of The Free Press: In
one week from today the Republican
party of Minnesota will meet, by its rep
resentatives, in state convention. The
purpose of the gathering will be the dec
laration of political principles, the di-
recting of political policies and the
placing in nomination for office men who
shall stand as the representatives of the
people in the exemplifcation of those
principles and the execution of those
policies. On questions of principles and
policies the party is united, and very lit
tie, if any controversy will arise in the
convention. Whoever shall be nominated
for governor the result in these matters
will be practically the same. The nomi
nee will stand for the trial and recogniz-
ed principles and policies of the party.
Whether the one or the other of the lead
ing candidates for the gubernatorial
nomination shall be named, we shall have
Republican legislature and Repub
lican governor, and recognized Republ-
, can principles will be enforced with reas-
enable party fidelity. At this time, in
the campaign which is being carried on in
Republican ranks, the crucial question,
therefore, is not one of political prin-
cipless, but of men. In the coming
convention the really important consid-
era ton will be the character of the men
who shall be selected as the standard
bearers of the party in this state, and
this is particularly true of the man who
shall be placed in nomination for Cover.
nor. The governorship is the highest
political honor within the gift of the peo
pie of the state. The man who is elected
ito that exalted position stands as the
chosen representative of the people. He
should represent that which is best il
the people, that which is high and uplift
ing. He should be man of dignity ant
worth of character-clean and pure il
his habits and life-upright and honor
able in his conduct, and of unblemishe(
reputation. He should be the highes
type of manhood the party can produce
one who will occupy his high station no
only with ability and integrity, but will
honor and credit to the people who's,
chosen representative he is. The people
should never have cause to blush for tn,
habits, character or reputation of tn,
man whom they have chosen for thei
governor. The people of the state desir
to see man of the highest character il
the gubernatorial office. The Republican
party has, men without number of thi
type; and it is to be hoped that the.
will emphasize this wish in the coming
primaries and that their delegates il
convention will see to it that no maj
shall be nominated for the governorshil
of Minnesota who cannot be pointed t.
with pride and satisfaction as worthy O.
the great honor because of his unblem
ished character and reputation. Very
truly yours,
