WREAKS HIS VENGEANCE
On All His Enemies in Prize Contest
Story, The Counts Hand"

OF course there Is a possibility that
1.-THE Counts HAND" appearing in our
next Sunday Magazine. will not win any
Of the prizes offered for the current
competition, but no matter what the win
ners may be. not a single one of them
will be stronger tale, with more dra-
matte contents or more striking climax
The author is l.. j. Beeston, formerly
secretary TO Max Pemberton, who has
been contributing to English magazines
for the last twelve years. He has sue
ceeded over there: but for some reason
is little known to the American reading
public. There is little question that he
will be among the best known here as
soon as magazine publishers can persuade
him TO send them his manuscripts
II is extremely fortunate that our Sun
day Magazine has been able to get this
one. THE Counts Hand" is about an
incident OF the Franco Prussian war,
wherein the hero. posing as an American
newspaper correspondent. took part in
one of the strongest and most tragic
occurrences of that terrible conflict
wherein the entire body Of five Prussian
officers were wiped out by one because
Of an outrage committed on a count s
home by the commander. And all these
tragic events took place in accordance
with an announcement given to the pro-
spective victims before killing began, de-
spite every precaution that the skilled
and fearless officers could take. The cli-
max Is as strange as the authors re-
markable imagination could conceive.
