Tripoli, via Malta, Oct. s0.-The search

Nothing more deplorable than the

The incessant popping of rifles marked

\ remarkable tale by Octave Thanet
appears in our next Sunday Magazine.
Just 10 show what some people think
about it. one of our editors said en-
phaticaliy: That story ought to get the
first prize of twenty-five hundred dol
lars. We have had many of high quail
ity. but not a single one that contains
the perfect technic and remarkable han
ding of a situation, handicapped by popu-
lar disapproval in the beginning. that
practically every story writer shuns ana
yet she has made a superb story out OF
this difficult situation. which holds you
spellbound from beginning to end, and
without a single improbability. This
s.handicau'' the editor talks about is the
very basis of the story. human experience
after death. Really, Octave Thanet has
made almost wonderful story.

She was reading the last page when
Jan came into the cabin. Her cheeks
were slightly flushed by this new excite
ment, which was reflected in her eyes as
she looked at Jan.
"A letter. she cried, holding out her
two hands filled with the pages. "A let

ing at her. and stopped.

know him better. l hope he will bring
you some more books-and strings." He
glanced at the old violin. DO you play
much?"

you play for me. JAM"

He did not see her again until six
months later. when he came in to the
caribou roast with his furs. Then lie
learned that another letter had come to
Melissa, and that Dixon had gone to
London instead of coming TO Lac Bain.
The day after the carnival he went back
into the country of the Athabasca. Spring
did not see him at Lac Balm. Early
summer brought no news of him. In the
floods Jean went by the waterway to the
Athabasca and found Thoreau's cabin
abandoned. There had not been life in it
for a long time. The Indians said that
since the melting SHOWS they had not seen
Jan. A balf-breed whom Jean met at
Fond du Lac said that he had found the
bones Of a white man on the Beaver
with a Hudson bay gun and "a horn

Jean came back to Lac Balm heavy at
heart.
There is no doubt but that he is dead. ="
