LIGHTNING FROM FOG BANK

Capt. A. Sunderberg of the steam

In a report made to the Hydro

says that at 10 p. m, when six miles

his vessel ran into a thick fog bank
which hung close to the water.

What Novel Readers Like.

That old question whether the poor
prefer to read stories about them
selves rather than about the rich has
been revived in England and discuss
ed by serial writer's. Some believe
that most readers, whether poor or
rich, prefer novels dealing with a
class different from their own, and
some maintain that the majority of
readers are more interested in their
own class. Nobody knows. But some
thing undoubtedly depends upon the
novelist himself. Dickens had no diff
flculty in interesting everybody in

Orlando stood a moment studying
his brothers face; then he turned
shortly about and walked the length
of the room. When he came back, he
took up his stand again directly be-
fore Oswald, and asked, with a new
note in his voice:

much at that?"

than any tear.
