providing for carrying into effect the
international arbitration resolution

ton at times were full of keen personal

THE MARTYREp FOOL.

This newest novel by David Christie
Murray deals with some of the problems of
anarchy. It takes US from Australia to
Paris and introduces US to the secret ooun-
ellis of circle of bomb-throwing plotters
of the baser sort. Evan Rhys, the mar
tyred fool, is hotheaded, lovable, young
idiot, who cherishes what he is pleased to
term opinions concerning the divine rights
of manhood and the ultimate destiny of
the race. He has been got into the anar-
chisr camp on false pretenses. He has no
notion of the plots they are laying, but
when he discovers the real meaning of his
position he is caught between the upper
and neither millstones of loyalty to his
order and to his own sense of right. Be-
tween them he comes to martyrs death.
The story is in a high degree artistically
wrought out. The wrongs of the poor, the
oppression of the rich, the entire helpless
ness of both classes, held in the viselike
grip of a system that works moral injustice
upon both-all these things the reader is
made to feel without one word by the au-
thor that this is what he has in mind to
make the reader feel. He is telling his
tale, and he does it with directness and
simplicity that charms and fascinates the
mind. New York: Harper & Bros. For

of Dickens. In the Oregon Sierra the
miners were not so clean cut. There they
were, many of them, pioneers OF pioneer
parents, and once had some dialect; but
the man from the Eastern States VINO
started the California mines was, as rule,
from the richest, brightest and best family
of his region and was the bravest and

The episode in which Artist j. McNeill
Whistler figured so conspicuously by OBJ
jecting to the character of Joe Sibley, say.
ing that it was intended as caricature OF
himself, is mentioned by the writer, and
the abject apology made to Whistler by
Harper Bros. is republished. In the pres
ent form of the work there is nothing to
offend Whistler or to identify him with
'the idle apprentice" OF the book.
The London Spectator had something to
say about Whistler in "Trilhy" and was
compelled to apologize to save lawsuit.
Mr.. Whistler compelled that paper to print
letter from his solicitors, from which it
appears that the revised MS. OF the novel
was sent to him to be passed. And apropos
of this he remarks in a letter to the editor:

phrases in which they are expressed.
There is a real, underlying pathos in many
of the tales. "Beside the Bonnie Brier
Bush is. humanity, a greater book than
"a Window in Thrums," as sympathy Is
always greater than analysis. Maclaren
has localized and spiritualized much that
Barrie at his window saw through glass,
darkly. But, despite this idealizing, told
in plain, straightforward English most of
the stories would be ordinary enough.
Maclaren has, in fact, given us one or two
English tales that, while in themselves
dealing with situations quite as pathetic.

chronicles of Drumtochly, are common

the charm that characterizes his book.

reads both Barrie and Maclaren to good
effect. Nearly every character in the book
| is suggestive of the creations of one or the
other of these. In that he leans more
toward the realistic than the idealistic pre-
sentatlon of his observations of humanity
he is follower of Barrie rather than of the
Liverpool clergyman. "a Street in Sub
urbia'' is not more definitely located than
this, but one inclines to the inference that
it is near London. The people speak
queer mixture of cockney English and the
Yorkshire dialect, and they are so dreary,
so heavy, so ponderous even in their
pleasantries, that one gets vague impress
sion that the sun never penetrates the
leaden fog that hangs over Suburbia.
ga Street in Suburbia'' makes amusing
reading, but it is question whether it is
either profitable or really wholesome. The
tendency of such books is to make us look
upon the human types presented as queer
sorts of bugs to be studied with certain
smiling and tolerant interest, but as an
order entirely apart from ourselves. The
light thrown upon them is not true. The
people of Suburbia are distorted in the
strong humorous light in which the author
shows them, and one misses the human
note in all that he says about them.
Mr.. Pugh has given us entertainment
for an hour, but when it is finished one
lays the book down with feeling of hav-
ing done little more than To accept an in
vitation that might have been couched in
the words: 'Here are some queer folk.

THE NAULAHKA.

As the third issue in their new Novelists'
Library series Macmillan & Co. have
printed the joint work of Rudyard Kip
ling and the late Walcott Balestier. 1t is
a long, intricate and rather wearisome
story, wherein the reader is obliged to
take frequent long and somewhat fatiguing
journeys back and forth between the town
of Topaz, in Colorado, and the interior of
India. 1t had a successful run in one of
the magazines several years ago, and was
shining example, then as now, of some
of the evils of literary collaboration.

made, working alone, better novel of The
