robbed on Red Hill Thursday night last

kee says he left Elkton between 9 and 10
O'Clock for his farm, situated about three
miles east of town. AS he reached the

dealt him terrible blow on the head
which knocked him out of the wagon; as
he struck the ground a second blow
rendered him unconscious. When he re-
covered two men were running toward
Elkton, but the darkness prevented a

Jean, brave and prompt, and a man OF
honor, but his connection with black
woman forever shut him from all chance
OF promotion. At last one day toward
the close OF his exile, his regiment was
ordered to Algeria, that meant one step
nearer home, freedom from the black
woman and a visit to the old peasant
father and mother, who, up in their
mountain village, were growing old with
waiting for their boy. But just before
they took boat an old comrade rushed
in and begged Jean to let him go in his
place. The black woman begged and
there was scene, and Jean gave it up.
Africa had done its work, had wrought
the fatal destruction that the tropics
always brings upon men from the noun
tains. He was bound to this desert
land that he hated, to this woman he
despised. She had charmed him with
her amulets, thrown spell over him by
her savage chants. This is the climax
OF the book, the tragic force, then every
thing clears for the catastrophe, for even
in their novels the French are dra
matte. Things go from bad to worse;
the slave girl sells jeans old watch that
his father gave him the day he marched
away with the other village boys, sing
ing bravely to keep back the tears. He
drives her away. but she comes back as
they always do, md ne takes her back, as
they always do. for with her she brings
a little child, half white. that has Jeans
eyes and that never smiles.
Just before the time of jeans home
going there is battle. The night be-
fore the encounter he dreams Of his
mother and the mountains and of his
betrothed, who has married another
man. For he is only little peasant of
the Cevennes masquerading in fez and
red uniform, who is living wrongly be-
cause France has put him where nature
did not intend him to be. Next day he
was killed, run through the breast, and
dragged himself under the shade of a
tamarind tree to die. When the slave
girl hears that he has gained paradise"
she goes out among the dead and finds
him. She strangles his child by filling
its mouth with sand, and stretching her
self upon his body, takes a poison she
had bought Of an African priest, and
dies. In his hand the man held a silver
image Of the Virgin, his pal ents had tied
about his neck in far away France: in
her hand the woman held the amulet of
leather her black mother had given her
when she was carried away a captive
from Gallam. Guard them well. o
precious amuletsr'
At night the watchers came. the only
watchers who ever sit by the dead who
fall in the Soudan; first the iackals, then
the vultures, then the winds and the
bleaching sands of the de-ert.
That is all there is of the story, all the
rest is description, environment. But
ali, such description! All English de-
scription is odious. Careful. accurate.
burdens d with irrelevant detail, lifeless.
leaving no picture in the readers mind.
But with the French it is different
matter. They write as they paint. TO
bring out an effect. All through this
book one can smell the aroma of the
tropics, see the palms and the tama-
rinds and the old white mosques, and

THE PASSING SHOW

that are appearing in McClure's are
really very diyerting, and they afford
one an excellent opportunity to study
the character, or rather the character
istics OF the Princess Orsa, for to her
and to her various intangible love az
fairs they seem to be entirely devoted.
Now the princess is somewhat OF b.
hemian and thoroughly plrcky. She
visited Stephen, the silversmith, at an
hour when it is not customary for ladies
to call on gentlemen. and she masquer-
AIDED as peasant girl for her social high
wayman and afterward was considerable
enough to give him her red stockings as
a souvenir. She calmly stakes herself
against the castle OF Zenda and plays
dice with Count Nikolas, and when we
last heard OF her she coolly went forth to
WOO the in different miller Of Hofbau.
The princess is enterprising or nothing.
And the most wonderful thing about
her is her versatility and her Catholic
tastes. She was mildly in love with
them all and did not denyit. She man
aged even to conjure up feelings OF ten
derness for the miller in his red cap
But all her flames are 30 impossible and
intangible. A smith, highwayman, a
priest and a miller. Now there are to
be six Zenda stories, 30 the princess has
two more chances. and l am afraid in
one OF these rounds she may get the
worst Of it. She has almost exhausted
the varieties OF impossible men, unless
she tries a married man and tenor.
She will have to do something like that,
for it would be against Mr.. Hopes prin-
ciples to let anything definite come to
pass. He never does. He never gives
any particular reason why they should
not, but he makes the conditions hos
tile, and his heroes and heroines are lat
ter day folks and are never strong
enough or foolish enough to fight ex-
listing conditions. So they never get
anywhere. Neither will the Princess
Orsa. She will probably keep on hav-
ing adventures until the end OF time and
die respected spinster.
l picked up another book by Pierre
Lott the Other day. 1t is called 1.-The
Romance of Spahi," and it is Just the
kind Of book that Lott always writes
and that no other man on earth can
write. The story is simple and soon
told. Jean Peyral was drafted for a
soldier and taken away from his mother
and little betrothed and his mountain
village. up in the Cevennes, and taken
to Africa. to old Saint Louis of the Sen
egal. He was only boy from the noun
tains and life in the tropics told on him
the heat and the inconsistencies. the
glaring lights and the eternal hatness of
the desert. He had an affair with a
mulatress, the wife Of trader, womal
who had lived in Paris, who was at once
violent and cunning. as wise as Europe,
rs cruel as Africa. She betrayed him
and he was sent to the hospital. 1t was
his first experience, and he had it hard.
When he was well again the loneliness
was worse than ever and he took to the
blacks and the devil. He took black
slave girl to live with him, girl with
big eyes and shapely arms and lips like
q red cactus flower, one OF the most
beautiful women of the Senegal. She
was little captive from the land Of Gal
lam. the land Of ivory and gold.

IF any intelligent and fair minded
man will read the Tribune's article of
Sunday and the EXCERPT from The
DISPATCH and compare them closely
he will have no difficulty whatever in
locating either the dignity, decency,
honor, cleanliness or manhood of the
two papers, none in the least. That a
paper of any pretensio1 to decency and
character can indite and publish such a
piece of arrant blackguardism as that
was, we cannot see. La it any wonder
that the decent people of Utah whom
it has maligned and dragaoned in this
way for so many years, are very sick
of it and hate it as they do the very

voted to the Herald and DISPATCH.
"THE DISPATCH LIAR" was the caption

proach to decency or argument it made
in the whole article. A paper so

no man, but just how sheet SO ut
