MYSTERY IN LITERATURE.

Emphatically more exotic than the
ordinary has been the recent environ
mcnt Of Halle Erminie Rives, and from
this fact has sprung curious story
concerning the way in which her excit
ing novel. Satan Sandcrson, came into
existence. The story Of Satan Sander.
son took shape in the mind of Miss
Rivcs at time when she was deeply
interested in oriental literature. Strong
as this interest was, however, no evi.
dcncc Of IL cropt into tno pages Of the
book, which deals with modern Amer.
can life only. The author was con.
scious, however, that the manuscript
grew more rapidly after she had been
delving into the lore Of the East. and
that the most thrilling passages invari'
ably followed upon the reading Of Jap.
ancsc stories. A remarkable explana.
ton was advanced months later. Fol.
lowing the publication Of the book
Miss Rives became the wife Of George
Post Waeclcr, third secretary of the
American Embassy to japan, and the
Wheelers took up their residence in
Toxic. Here Mrs. Wheeler purchased
single leaf screen (tsuitate), on which
was painted the background which the
japanese portrait painter usually
adopts when wishing to show that his
sitter is n person engaged In literary
pursuits The unique feature of this
screen was that the central portion
was blank, the background merely
marking the outline of a woman. The
dealer explained that the screen had
formerly borne Hiehigswa Kichbei =
portrait Of Murosaki no Shikibu. fam
Gus In japanese history as the coun.
try's most distinguished woman novel.
ist The dealer had been astonished 90
note shortly after the tsuitste came in.
TO his possession that on some days tne
portrait Of Murosaki faded out 10 that
it could hardly be distinguished, re.
turning to its original brillianey only
to fade out again. This curious phen.
omenon continued until finally, on the
10th Of August, 1907, the famous Jap
snese woman vanished from the screen
completely, leaving visible only the
outline of her form.
Remembering Miss Rives' hours Of
inspiration, which had followed those
spent in reading the mysterious legends
Of the East, II gives one n strange
thrill to learn that the date of the
final disappearance Of the portrait was
the date Of the first appearance Of Miss
Riycs' novel, Satan Sanderson.
