'T'anfs, thegSamg.DiggeE..

The central figure of the new novel, Tanis,
the sang-Digger, by Am6lie Rives, is another
of those strange, high-strun@ and passionate
females that the author is fond of repre-
senting as h%eroines, and AFTER a reader has
followed Ianis through her love adventures,
the verdict must be that this low-born and
wretched "poor white" this long -limbed,
handsome digger of ginseng root, is a creature
of intense fascinating and remarkable char
acteristics. Tunis is a big, fresh and lusty
young savage of the Virginia mountains, with
the figure of a goddess, which when we first
meet her is screened from the breezes and
the axe of man by a single garment. Her
long hair sweeps about her like "a veil, and
she roams the woods in the wild and vigorous
manner of the antelope. She is beloved by
a young giant of her own class, a mammoth
brute, possessing a splendid physical beauty,
and who exercises an almost irresistible spell
over her. Her battle against the passion and
tyranny Of this man is the motive of the
story. She knows him for a tickle, heartless
betrayer, of girls, and the one shining quality
of her character is her virtue, which sus-
tains her at all times, which teaches her to
despise the character Of men like him, and
to demand from a lover deep respect and
constancy as we'll as passion. The big brute
that worships her is mentally and morally
unable to comprehend this part of IaniS'
nature, and we find them opposed to each
other in a most strange and interesting bat
tie. Sam, the reckless lover, is bound to
gain full control of IdniS without going into
any argument over the matter, while Ianis,
although on fire with love for him, sees him
in all his weakness and wickedness, and
knows that if he gets her he will love her for
a day and a night, and afterward loathe her.
And it is only by a wretched scheme on the
part of Sem that I0niS is driven into marry
ing him. She becomes a martyr to save the
friends that have been kind to her, and at
the end she BOWS tc fate and yields herself
UP to Sam, because she is powerless to fight
him longer. The story is told in the sharp,
aggressive and often dazzling style peculiar
to Miss Rives. She describes the scenes in
which her characters move with her custom
airy poetic facility, and probably the most
dramatic dialogue that she has ever written
is that which passes between her hero and
heroine in this book. A large element Of the
public will not accept Miss Rives as repre-
sentative of that which is healthy and excel
lent in literature, but the number is small
that will argue against her ability to attract
and hold the attention by inventing strong
characters and putting them through an
absorbing series of emotions and adventures.
"Tanis, the Sang-Digger" will surely be re-
garded with interest by the reading public.

About the only act of a pacific character
that can be credited to Emperor William
since he became the head and 'front.' of the
German empire, was the sending of a wreath
to be placed on the bier of Marshal Mcmahon.
The enthusiasm in Paris caused by the pres
ence of the Russian naval officers, no doubt
had much to do with the presentation of the
wreath, because it is now plain that William
has failed to impress Europe with the idea
that he regards the visit of the Russian
squadron to Tulon with absolute Indifference.
The over are convinced that the fetes in
honor of the Russian at Paris mean more
than the German government is willing to
