Phenomenal Success of the New HARPERS Magazine T HE new Harpers Magazine has achieved an unqualified success. The September issue-its first appearance-was completely sold out in ten days. And from all over the country, enthusiastic and wholly spontaneous letters continue to pour in, in gratifying appreciation of the vigorous, youthful, provocative personality of the new magazine. Moreover, the editorial forecast promises for the coming months even richer material. The best in fiction from America and England; fearless and vivid discussions of significant phases of American life; important points of view from and about Europe; brilliant criticism and absorbing problems involving the human equation. In short, the new Harpers will triumphantly fulfill the promise of its first numbers just as it has already established itself as the periodical most sympathetic to the modern educated mind—a periodical of rapid wit, clarity of judgment, independence of thought, and high literary flavor.

Perhaps Shakespeare did owe much of his inspiration in depicting womanhood to the living models whom he saw, from near or far, at Elizabeth's Court. The thesis does not add materially to the interest of an enjoyable book, and, when it does appear, seems rather often to have been lugged in by the ears. The brief chapter on Lady Essex and the murder of Sir Thomas Overbury introduces the interesting figure of Mrs. Turner, who ruined the fashion of wearing yellow ruffs, as Mrs. Manning (literally) did for black silk, merely by being hanged in them.

We sat talking at the dinner table when the telephone rang. "I'd like to see ye, shipmate," came a voice unknown to me. He had started to walk to me from many miles away, taking rides as they were offered. The page almost touching his nose, he sits reading behind my chair. His sight is almost gone. His left leg is outstretched. When he rises, it will be some moments ere he can walk without pain. His leg is swollen to nearly twice its natural size, wide white scars from knee to ankle. He is toothless. His thick, rough curly hair is streaked with gray. His shoulders are immense, but his hands small. On the back of his right hand is tattooed a blue anchor. The table is set again. He is hungry. "Shipmate," said he when I found him at the street corner where he awaited me, "I've got to tell ye. I'm flat." I said, "Tarpaulin muster!" You know what a tarpaulin muster is, don't you? A sailor has a dime. Two sailors have a nickel. He tells my wife how to make cracker hash, dandy funk, dogsbody, and strikeme-blind. When, forgetting the last, she refers to it as "smack-in-the-face," he leans back in his chair and chuckles. "That's a good one, shipmate," says he. He talks of ship's pork coming green from the cask, of hardtack with weevils in it, and of moon-bows in the mists of far-away seas. We feel a dent in his head, where a mate once struck him with a belaying-pin. He has sailed with Tam o' Shanter, Rob Roy, and Cutty Sark, in the days of tea and wool and clipper ships. When Bayard was becalmed for thirty days upon the line, he lost his teeth scurvy. South of Cape Stiff he was knocked down and swept against a fife-rail by the sea. That was when his leg was broken. The skipper set it, a compound fracture; and, seeking for a better mend, they broke it again in Valparaiso. There was blood poison, and cutting, over and over, in a water-front hospital. Now and again he shifts uneasily-rheumatism. He speaks of Marryat and Dana, of Russell, Bullen, Masefield, and Conrad. The missis and the kid look at him, astonished. It is a steamy summer day. Beneath his wool shirt is a winter undershirt; above the shirt, heavy waistcoat and jacket. Green wool socks show under his woolen trousers. In a little bag upon my floor there lies his sole baggage -a fishing kit. "Sing me a chantey, shipmate, for the old days' sake," I ask him, and he rises slowly. His breath is short and wheezy, his voice quavers; but his shoulders hunch, his old hands grip and haul. "Ranzo was no sailor, Ranzo, boys, Ranzo!" He sings a topsail to the masthead. The missis looks in from the kitchen. He sits on my doorstep, tying a Spanish bowline, a masthead knot, the sheet and carrick bends. "You ought to rig a mast, shipmate, with a couple of yards across, so we'd know where you live when we go by," says he. When I ask how he sleeps of nights, he answers me, "Wake at eight bells, and maybe when the wind shifts, shipmate." His face is close against the pages of the "Everlasting Mercy," held in a shaky hand on the back of which is the little blue anchor. "Don't want to bother ye, shipmate. Just wanted to see ye." It is night. He sleeps upon my couch. Ship bells are silent. Sea winds are still. Three days are gone, and he is gone to cook for a farm-hand crew; to make johnny-cake and bergoo, to fry sow-belly and to boil beans. One day I took him to the library. When they brought him "Iron Men and Wooden Ships," his eyes shone. Finding Cutty Sark pictured, he leapt to his feet with an excited cry. I watched him about the street corner. Seated beside a farmer, he turned to wave a hand. "Meet ye off the Horn, shipmate!" he shouted, while all the passers stared. THIS afternoon I went out to see the sailor who dropped in on me so unexpectedly last week. I was anxious to see how he was getting along, cooking for a harvest crew. I found him living alone, in a little old tumble-down shanty beneath a big oak tree at the edge of a barley field. On one side the barley brushes his shanty. On the other is a slough where frogs croak and water snakes glide through the rushes. Redwing blackbirds dart past his door. Buzzards wheel overhead. Mosquitoes hum in clouds. A rattlesnake slipped from my path. The air shimmers above the dry white barley. The harvest crew is not yet come. As I approached unseen, I saw the In writing to the above advertisers, please mention The Outlook Tours and Travel CLARK'S 6th CRUISE AROUND THE WORLD 128 DAYS, $1,250 to $3,000 Including Hotels, Drives, Guides, Fees, etc. From N.

Mart of the Unusual THE OUTLOOK 120 East 16th Street New York sailor hobbling toward his shanty door, his great bowed shoulders bare. Heat in the windless river bottom-lands is terrific. I saw him sit down upon the shanty step, and, so seeing him, saw him elsewhere upon the fo'c's'le head of Cutty Sark, swift sailing down the trades. I saw the young lad at her wheel. I heard him sing her anchor in: "Good-by, fare you well, Good-by, fare you well, Hurrah, my lads, we're homeward bound!" I came to him, and, still unheard, unseen, looked over his old shoulder. Sensing me, he looked up, closing the book he held. "Some yarn, ain't it?" said he. I nodded. "There ain't no one like him, is there, shipmate?" the old sailor said. I shook my head.
