In 1891 one of the Hagenbecks and
Herman Boyer, hunter in the family's
employ, went to India for tigers. Hear
ing Of a savage man eater in a certain
district, they organized a party and
sailed forth to find him.
Crouching like cat, with back up
and whiskers bristling it waited its
chance for spring. One of the natives,
more venturesome than the rest, bold
ly charged it. With a sudden blood
curdling growl it was upon him and
he was brushed from his horse like
man of straw. And then, though he
was man Of fully 145 pounds weight,
the great beast seized him as a cat

him toward the jungle. 1t was i'm
possible to shoot for fear of killing the
man, and so we had to make the chase,
one of strategy. Finally, near the edge
Of the underground, we cornered the
tiger, and it dropped its luckless bur-
den. Then bullet from an express
rifle ended its days of pillage. 1t had.

why the Mystery Tale Succeeds.

Why the Mystery Tale Succeeds.
The mystery element enters to a
greater or less degree into fiction Of
every kind. Indeed, 1t is the base Of
all literary interest. Primarily we
read story ito see how it comes out"
and, other things being equal, the
story in which the element of sus-
pense by deft construction and subtle
shaping Is most successfully maintain
ed will be the most universally satisfy
Ing and popular. The mystery tale Of
today Is story in which the element
of suspense is deliberately enlarged
and emphasized until it dominates ev-
cry other consideration in the story.
Characterization, atmosphere, emotion
al values-all become subordinated to
the great business Of plot development.
The marshaling of incident, the sue
cession Of climaxes in crescendo order,
the cumulative sweep Of the narrative
while the secret Of the outcome Is care
fully withheld, is the affair here. Like
a periodic sentence of titanic size, the
tale is unrolled until with the conclud-
Ing paragraphs the meaning Of all that
has gone before is made clear.-Lee r.
Hartman in Harper's Weekly.

Divorces are frequently pronounced
In America on the ground Of incom-
patfbility Of temper. In England we
do not go so far as that, but I have
just heard Of case where an old
family servant who. married the gar
dener separated from her husband
on exceedingly slight grounds. She
said that he would insist on the glasses
being turned upside down on the side
board and that there should be anti
macassars on the dining room chairs.
And so, as they could not agree, the
unhappy pair separated. = London

CHESBRO'S EARLY DAYS.

Great Pitcher Once Lost Fourteen
Games Straight In Richmond.
The celebrated pitcher Jack Chesbro
before getting into fast baseball COM
pany had rather varied experience.
He was first signed by the Richmond
(Va.) club when Jake Wells, now own
er Of theatrical circuit, was man
ager.
Jake lost his first fourteen straight
games and was about to be released
when it was decided to give him one
more chance. He then went in and
won his next seventeen successive
games. Since that time he has been
marvelously successful. His major
league career began at Pittsburg,
which club got him from Richmond.

WilHam GiHette's House Boat.
"Our Girl," Frohman
Musical Play.

lFrom Our New York Dramatic Corre-
spondent.l
From the necessities of his profession
it is hard for an actor to have a real
home" in the best sense of the word.
Yet William Gillette claims three. One
the one in which he spends most Of
his time when he is not appearing be-
fore the public-is house boat.
The boat is called Aunt Polly and
Is house boat only in the sense that
slender lines have been sacrificed in
roominess of cabin and deck, The
Aunt Polly has a stanch seagoing hull,
Is powerfully engined and is capable
OF travelling at high speed. During the
summer time Mr. Gillette takes long
cruises in her.
This actors second home is among
the pine trees in the hill country of
South Carolina. A little log cabin sits
far back from main Travelled highways.
This is his refuge from all care and
WEAKNESS. The little cabin in the hills
sees him but seldom now that his life
Is so full of affairs which may not be
neglected.
The third Of William Gillette's homes
is his old home His sister and her
family still occupy the old Gillette
homestead in Hartford, Conn. This is
roomy old house in the colonial form,
vine covered, standing among trees of
dignity and age. Next door to the Gill
lette place is the Charles Dudley War
ner residence. Near by is the residence
of Samuel M. Clemens Mark Twain),
while just over the way is the former
residence of Mrs. Harriet Beecher
Stowe.
Charles Frohman has formed COM
bination for new musical play. He
has arranged with Edgar Smith, who
for some time has been writing the
| pieces presented at Weber's New York
Music hall, and Paul M. Potter, who
wrote ''The Schoolgirl" to combine in
writing new book and lyrics, with
| music by William T. Francis, who
wrote the score Of "The Rollicking
Girl" and several Of the numbers in
"The Catch of the Season."
| This musical piece is one which
Charles Frohman planned in Europe
| and which is to be called "Our Girl
For this production Mr.. Frohman has
| already engaged thirty artists from

RUSSIAN THRONE SHAKING.
Red Revolution Threatens the Empire
of the Gar.

of the Gar.
Revolution is shaking the throne of
Russia. All the Baltic ports are in
revolt. Immense arsenals and naval
depots are almost within the grasp of
the rebels. A gigantic conspiracy has
been discovered in the Eavy to capture
the naval depots at Lfbau and Reval
and the arsenals at Kronstadt, the
door to st. Petersburg.
The bureaucrats are panic-stricken.
Emperor Nicholas himself is alarmed.
He has recognized the desperation in
the situation by issuing a ukase de-
claring that civil war exists at Odessa
and ordering that the people be
crushed.
Sebastopol displays signs of disaf-
lection. If the garrison of that mighty
Black Sea fortress espouses the cause
be doomed, at least so far as southern
Russia is concerned. The fortress is
filed with vast stores Of guns, am
munition and clothing, sufficient to fit
out rebel army.
With Sebastopol as a base the revo-
lutionists could soon secure control of
every city in the Black Sea region, for
it has long been known that none OF
those cities was firm in it's loyalty to
the Emperor and the ruling bureau
Gratis. On the contrary, all have been
rife with sedition.
Perhaps, however, the most alarm
ing feature of the situation for the
government lies in the naval plot in
the Baltic. Hundreds of officers are
said to be involved in the conspiracy.
Nobody can tell yet how extensive
it is.
At Kronstadt are the arsenals with
stores of rifles, the arms and ammuni-
ton factories, and the cannon foundry.
These factories and stores in the hands
of skilled workmen would solve the
problem of supplying a revolution with
arms and munitions of war. Eight
thousand imperial sailors, together
docks of the naval port Of Kronstadt,
suddenly refused to work and practi-
cally state of mutiny exists there.
The revolt at Libau already is seri-
Gus. The sailors revolted Wednesday
night, on the pretext that the food
served is not fit to eat. They secured
rifles and ammunition, wrecked their
barracks, and attacked and looted
houses. Then they attacked the Off

Strikers in Fox River Towns.

Men saying they are Chicago strikers
who have been lettering around the Fox

eggs bread and other eatables. Three
of the men. walking in bare feet, were
