in Ocean View, Sussex County, and
was never heard of again. Reports
came that he had died at sea. He
was given up for dead by his Sus-

the more acute when a few months
ago they received letters from a
London tEngland) firm of solicitors
that a vast fortune awaited them,
the estate of this same Pembroke
McCabe. According to the London
attorneys, McCabe, after reaching
England engaged in industrial pur-

Lucas pertinently observes. was the in
fluence which the book exerted on Mark
Twain. 1t projected him into older
civilizations, it brought him into contact
with new people; in short. it retired his
ambition We can tell, beneath his veneer of
languor and whimsical cynicism and doubt,
how seriously he took his task by the
carO with which it is done, the sheer
hard work of it, the pursuit of the most

How it carries one back-in my case
fifteen years-to those halcyon days when
l sat on the upper deck of the Minneapolis

to dip into the Sketches New and DID,
Here, of course, is "The Jumping Frog"
which James Russell Lowell pronounced
''the finest piece of humorous writing yet
produced in America"-but which Mark
thought little of at first, writing indig-
nantly to his mother: ITO think that af-
ter writing many an article a man might
be excused for thinking tolerably good,
these New York people should single out
a villainous backwoods sketch to compli-
ment me oni" And here too is the True
Story" which is historically important in
Mark Twain's career. Its original mar
rator, Aunt Rachel" says Paine, was
in reality the cook at Quarry Farm, where
Mark Twain spent his summers, and her
name was Auntie Cord. Her mistress,
Mrs. Clemens's sister, had often urged her
to tell her story to Mark Twain, but she
had been reluctant. One moonlight eve-
ming. however when the family was seated
on the veranda, she came around to say

good night, and Clemens engaged her in
conversation; then, almost before she
knew it, she was seated at his feet telling
the strange tale very much as he set
it down next morning. 1t gave Mark
Twain his first entry into the Atlantic
Monthly, where he had long wished to be
represented. William Dean Howells, who
was then editor, wrote hastily TO express
his joy in it. Its reaist kind of black
talk won him, he said, and few days
later he wrote again: This little story

E. wilkins Freeman, who writes the "Ap-

in general terms exceedingly laudatory of
Mark Twain-in striking contrast to the
attitude of certain New Englanders of
long vanished days.
There is a singular appropriateness in
the selection of the author of Clarence"

thousand copies were sold in year, and
by the end of the third year more than
one hundred thousand copies had been
sold. 1t was book of travel; it's lowest
price was $3.50. No such record had been
made by book of that description; none
has equaled it since" A daring book,
surely-yet there is IAN atmosphere about

somewhere in the telling, it may be, or in
the tale" OF course, Mark is having
his little joke"-playing hob with the sane
titles and shrines of holy Europe, the re-

Sherman says, Mark docs not undertake
to tell them (more like himself) how they
ought to look at objects of interest, but
quite resolutely how these objects of in
