Sailors Superstitions-

1t Is n common belief among sailors
that ship which has been sunk and
raised again Is haunted by the ghosts
or those who were drowned in her.
Some years ago a large emigrant
steamer was sunk in the Mediterra-
mean. and over 500 lives were lost.
Thousands were spent In raising the
vessel. She was brought home and
RENTED. but has never since been used.
1t Is impossible TO keep a crew. The
men declare that every night the great
hull rings with the screams and groans
OF the multitude who sank. like rats
In trap, to the bottom Of sixty feet
OF stormy sea.-Strand Magazine.

THE NEW STORY.
Prominent Author Receives Big Price
For New Novel.

Prominent Author Receives Big Price
For New Novel.
That the so-called wave" of hard
times has not yet engulfed Great Brit
ain is evinced by the news that a
price which would hitherto have been
considered utterly prohibitive has just
been paid to the famous English au
thor, William lie Queux, for the SER
ial rights to his newest romance "The
Pauper of Park Lane"
The price it is authoritatively stat
ed. is the highest ever paid to any liv-
ing author for serial story. Literary
London is amazed at the story and 1t
required full verification before it was
credited.
The record price is partly due of
course to the authors matchless repu-
tation as writer of exciting fiction.
Also to his own dramatic life story,
and to the puzzling fact limited in the
title-namely that exclusive Park
Lane. London, could harbor so incon-
gruous a factor as genuine pauper.
| But by far the principal reason for
the high amount paid is the extraor-
binary, compelling interest and charm
of the novel itself. 1t is said by compe-
tent critics to be the most powerfully
absorbilgly interesting novel of &C
ton ever written. A story that is Ger.
tain to be the talk of two continents
and to live when the average best
seller" is long since forgotten.
Mr. lie Queux has the peculiar and
decidedly fattering distin ction of be-
! ing the favorite novelist of two no less
! exalted personages than the Queen Of
England and the young King of Italy
King Peter of Servia was also so i'm
pressed by the writer's story telling
genius that he recently invested MI
/ lie Queux with the Order of St. Sava
The Italian king also decorated hin
with the "Order of the Crown O.
Italy"
A half dozen other European cor
ders" and similarly high marks of roy
al distinction have also fallen to hi
share. Mr.. lie Queux is also author O
more than thirty successful novels
None of them in his opinion, and tina
of other judges, is equal in excitement
love interest and general literar,
merit to "The Pauper of Park Lane
This is the book by which the cele
brated authors future fame will en-
dure; the novel by which he is des
tined to become best known on bot
sides of the Atlantic
Foreseeing that the phenomenal SUI
| cess which has greeted it in Europ
/ must inevitably be repeated in tn
) United States, this paper has secure
first American publication rights t
: '"The Pauper of Park Lane" and j
/ therefore enabled to present thi
experimenting novel to It's readers bt
! fore it appears here in book form.
t'The Pauper of Park Lane" will b,
2 gin serial publication in these co
1 umns soon. 1t is a romance no love
} Of good fiction can afford to leave III
Tread.
