Mayne Rcid's style and line of sui
jects are pretty we'll known, especially
To the readers Of tales of adventure
written half generation or SO ago.
Indians and bears were apt to be the
theme, and the scene was usually in
tho west or southwest, though he
ranged the world over in his thrilling
stories of hair breadth escapes. He
was essentially a writer for boys, and
we may frankly admit that, on the
whole, he was good writer, as his
popularity amply testified. Many q
man, wrapped in the busy cares of
middle-age life, will recollect the rainy
afternoons and the long evenings spent
with Reds Rangers" or Hunters, I"
or "Voyagers." Not many stopped
then to think of his style, or, per
haps, even knew That there was such q
thing as literary style. Tho plot was tho
thing. In his Child Wife, Capt. Reid
SO departed from his customary line of
characters as to make us feel that we
We're reading another kind of fiction.
Tho car marks of style, nevertheless,
arc there in the effectiveness Of the
story and its radical adventnrism. In
this tale, however, il is the society adj
vcnturcrs of New York and London
and the political adventures of Eng
land and the continent in the awk-
wardly insurrcctionary times about
1850 that VIC see. He wrote with zest,
like Red Republican" revolution
list, and wove in number of histOri-
cal incidents in quite unhistorical
manner. Phases Of English and
American social life of near forty
years ago land we must remember that
this book was first published in 1869
are shown up severely. What with
the fortune hunter on one side and the
title huntress on the other, and their
follies, heartlcSsness and crimes, one
feels rather Disguised for getting into
such insipid and inherently bad com
pany. But the Child Wife" herself
is an angel of innocent purity and
first love devotion. AS VIC read
this story VIC ere frequently led
to wonder just how far it is
photographed. The fictitious hero
Of the. tale, Capt. Maynard, is so
like the undoubtedly real author Capt
Reid mot TO speak Of the similarity in
name) that the latter was evidently,
in many respects at least, portraying
himself in manuscript. Mrs. Reid
says, in her preface TO this edition,
that most Of the events related were
actual incidents in tho life or within
the experience Of the author In the
story Capt. Maynard was born in Ire
land in 1913, and began his literary
career when about 30. He fought in
the Mexican war and was wounded
while storrning Chapultepec, and in
