NOVELS THAT IIAVU COJIE Till ; 13. Originality on lln > I'nrf of ( lit- Audio IliilillenlPil In lli-iil IIff. Every author Htrlves to put orlfilnallt Into his novelH , and although many en dcuvor to adhere strictly lo life , othcrn ar not above allowing their Imagination to ru away with them In order to give addition : fascination tn the narrative. In eomo case ; says the Philadelphia Times , novels whlc have been regarded ao Improbable have sun sciiucntly antoiilthcd both their authors an the reading public by coming true. Many of Rider Haggard's tale are con Hldcrcd unreal , but , Htrango to say , two r those which ono would put down aa coinln under this category hnvo Hiiffercd plaghir Isms by fact , namely , "She" and "Mr. Mcc son's Will. " The forjncr , of tourse , could nc bo reproduced exactly In real life , for th rciiEon that Sho-Who-Must-He-Obeyed I Hupposed to Imvo existed for centuries , power not Klvnn to human beings. Never theleBs , n Kalllr. woman , whoso death wa reported In H-o papers some nicnths ug ( dlcl her best to rival Mr. Haggard's renownc [ en inc. She appears to have been n woman corn plctely Blirnuded In my tery , whrso orlgl \vap unknown. She ruled over n Hinall Kal fir tribe and hfr oldest HUbJectB claim t have ncliiiowledgcd her as queen over sine Ihcy could remember , so It was next to a Impossibility to attempt to ascertain lie age , which many Ilocr experts tried to di 11 or face was not without Its wrlnkle.i , bu nevertheless , those wl'.o Baw her failed t bellcvo flicvnn mnre than CO years cf iigi ludglng by her appenranqe. Furthcrmon her skin was not tanned to tlio saino extci : BB that of her subjects , whlnli gave rluo t the brllf'f thai she must have been of Spun lull origin or a settler from Um oxtrem north of Africa. Whether Mr. Haggard orla Inally got the Idea of tils heroine from heat Ing of thlH uo-iian during hlu travels on th dark ccntlnc-nt Is unknown , but the fact re mains that thp Kaffir nueon bore the ncnrn ilinl'arity to ihc ( trcot "She " The n who have read "Mr. Meison's Will remember how tlio hero ne ha the l t tcMnmrnt of a wrnlthy mnn tnt- tioed on her buck , on Account of the Inck of siiltalilorltlnp nialerlnls. on n dfert Island , where the chief characters of the novel landed after having been shipwrecked. Such a cnso would have seemed Improbable enough had It not brcu that little more than eighteen months ago nn antecedent was found. A certain wealthy mnn who lived alone In a ntnnll house * In order lh.it he might glvo vent to his miserly habits was found ono day silting In his armchair perfectly dead. He was kno\\n to have relatives somewhere , but no clew coulJ be discovered among his papers ns to their whereabouts , tilt by chance thp Information as found upon his person. When exposed his chest revealed a number of marks tattooed thereon In red. , and fur ther Investigation showed that his will bad thus been written , furnishing full particulars as to the bequest , together with the address of the mlfslnR relatives. Do Mariner's great novel , "Trilby. " Is generally supposed to have been nn orig inal Idea , n It undoubtedly was at the time , but since the publication of the volume a casu bearing striking similarity has been brought to light In America. It will bo ro- inembcred that the1 villain. Svcngnll. hyp notized Trilby In order to make her sins while under his Influence , the beauty of her voice drawing universal admiration. In this case a girl who , when In her right mind , has not the. slightest knowledge of music , has been hypnotized to play the piano with the touch and ability of nn accomplished player. She. Is able to play correctly alimwt any piece one might choose ; nor does her courngo desert her when she Is called upon to perform In public. The lady under whoso control she Is In herself a musician of abil ity , which , perhaps , accounts for the auc- ccss of the experiment. That stirring narrative of the ncn , "Tho Wreck of the Orosvcnor. " has not been ex- copied from the list of those novels which liuvo had antecedents in real life. Somu years ago u bark called the Kstellix art nail from Wellington , New Zealand , on a voyage to Steward Island , n dlstancq of about 600 miles. The crew consisted of ten sailors , mostly Malays , under Captain Liuirenco , un Englishman of about 32 mimmurs. Tliero was also on board n young woman who was going to Steward I laud to visit an mint. Two days after they had ntnrtcd a storm sprang up and the vessel was blown out of Its course , to remain at the mercy of the waves for upward of a fortnight. As the Journey can bo accomplished In ten days piovldcd the wind Is good , provisions fnr a llttlfl over that tlmo were stored on startIng - Ing , so when thr fortnight had expired food as well ns water began to rim out. A few days later land was sighted and as tin ; ship Iny like a dead thing on the . water , helpless nnd disabled , the crew de buted among themselves the advisability of seizing the cnty boat which remained on the ship lifter the gale , nnd , ns It would only hold ten persons , setting off .In It with out the knowledge of the captain or the Blrl. Having stolen the greater port of the re maining provisions and stowed them aboard they departed unseen undar cover of larkncss , leaving the unfortunate couple to the mercy of the sea , which , however , had now gone down In violence. Not till the next morning did the cautalu discover what had happened und the boat with Its living cargo was nowhere to bo seen , yet land re mained In sight. The end was almost as romantic as In Mr. Clark Russell's tale. They wore not picked up , but drifted straight on to the rocks , which proved -to be part of the mainland. Whether the twain eventually entered into the bonds of wedlock or not the writer Is not aware , but considers It highly probable. Every one who bas read Hall Calne's novel , "Tho Scapegoat , " will rcc-llect that , the heroine was blind , deaf and dumb , but I ! ultimately had these three senses restored to J I her. When the story was first published It : ' received no small amount of condemnation from the press on the ground that such a thing was Impossible. These critics , however , spoke too peen , for a few months afterward a remarkable plagiarism by fact was brought to light In Cumbcr.'ar.d. ' A young girl , both deaf and dumb , was taken 111 In precisely the same way as was the heroine in "The Sergeant , " nnd during her illncBS the powers of upcoch nnd hearing cnmo back lo her. The Instance was communicated to Mr. Calne , who henceforward evinced great Intercut In the girl's welfare. IIKH AHI1OH COOIKI1. ' Wlfc-'M Ueleriulnatlon to Unit Clipakvil Iir n c'rui'I Tlirt-nt.
