The Victory of Ezra Gardner.

Miss Imogen Clark has given us charming
idyl, the scene of which is laid in one OF New
England's quaint islands, Ezra Gardner is q
finely drawn character. His only companion
and friend is his pet pony, "Baby,' and the
affection between the two is touchingly por-
trayed. Ezra has suffered with humility the
scorn of the world ever since the war. 1t was in
war time that he got the name OF being cow
ard, and he admitted that he was afraid OF
going to the front, and that when be went he
was "choked up with the fear through every
thing" But when Ezra Gardner braved a
monstrous sea while others stood appalled, and
white-when Ezra Gardner saved from death

odds of death against life, batting like giant
with the awful breakers, but holding up the
drowning man with a strength like iron, when
the twain were pulled ashore unconscious,
after a struggle that for heroism was never
surpassed-then came 1.-THE Victory of Ezra
Gardner" All the island was proud to honor
him, and everywhere he was received with ex-
pressions of kindness, admiration and love.
The rescue scene is highly dramatic, ana the
volume is replete with pictures of unaffected
realism. New York and Boston: T. Y

Lindsay's Girl.

Here is another fresh novel for the girls by
the seaside or in the mountain resorts. Its
author is Mrs Herbert Martin and its heroine
is Scotchman's daughter, Valentine Lindsay,
who is little wild in her ways and creates
talk among the gossips. Fate throws Lord st.
George and Valentine together and they marry
against the wishes OF the mans noble family.
The country place is dull and the couple take
up quarters in London, where Valentine
dances and enjoys herself more than she ever
did in her unmarried days. The lord goes back
to his bachelor pleasures. Valentine is much
sought after by an ola lover, and their COM
panionship arouses more talk. coldness
grows between lord and lady. They quit the
dissipa tions of London, and on their arrival in
the country accident happens to St. George.
He lies for weeks on the brink of death, and
then it is that the wife finds her abiding love
for him. ST. George RECEIVERS as if by miracle,
and after that they are the happiest couule in
England. In fact, Lady st. George became
such an exceptionally ideal wife ana adorable
mother and such an esteemed member OF the
highest society that people who knew some of
the old tales shook their heads and exclaimed,

that renders 1t almost as instructive as anus
Ing. Hank Morgan, Connecticut machinist
and inventor, with all the knowledge of the
nineteenth century and with the mechanical
ability to construct all kinds of modern
mechanism, finds himself suddenly trans
ferred to England In the days when King Ar
thur ruled at Camelot and led the Knights of
the Round Table in feats of chivalry.
The contrast between the conditions of life
in those days and in our own is strongly
brought out, and in the descriptions of those
contrasts Twain finds abundant opportunities
for serious writing as well for humorous
extravaganza. To most readers the serious
passages will be found fully as entertaining as
those which were designed to be funny. In
fact, the fun is more like that of a farce
than that of a comedy, and not in
Still as rule, the most grotesque absurdities
the humor tor them, and if there is any man
living who can put the public mind into that
humor Mark Twain is the one TO do it,
The first impression of the Connecticut man
on his arrival at Camelot is one of disgust for
the whole concern. Circumstances force him
to assume the role of magician in order to
save his life, and by predicting an eclipse he
wins such success as to completely discredit
Merlin at court and become the chief counselor
OF the King. Raised to power and distressed
by the wretchedness of the people, and exas-
perated by the folly and the superstition of the
nobility, he sets himself to the task OF civil
izing the people with the intention of reform
ing the country and establishing a republic

ANOTHER EROTIC
NOVEL ByELLA WHKELER R WILCOX
IAN AMBITIOUS MAN
"Lindsay's GIRL" by Mrs Herbert Martin

Ella Wheeler Wilcox has undertaken char
acter study under the guise of novel, but
character study alone cannot very well carry
story that is positively lacking in vivid inter
est. can Ambitious Man." it may be said, is
an endeavor in prose to maintain that attitude
of eroticism exhibited in Elias Poems of Pas
sion," published a few years ago. The ex.
ploitation of amorous sins and blunders seems
to be to the liking of Mrs. Wilcox. Her novel
ends in chaos, and the lot of everybody in it
is untimely death or lingering misery. And
yet Mrs. Wilcox whites well; better, in fact,
than many who write better stories. Here are
few sentences from the book of "Impres-
sions,' in which one of her characters makes
daily entrances which reflect the changes
that take place in the complexion of her
mind:
People talk about following divine law Of love-
when they wish to excuse their brute impulses
and break social and civil codes.
No love is sanctioned by God which skaters
human hearts
Fathers are only distantly related to their chill
dren: love for the male parent is matter Of edu-
cation
Love is mushroom, and lust is its poisonous
counterpart.
1t is pity that people who despise civilization
should be so uncivil as to stay in it. There is
always darkest Africa
The extent of a mans gallantry depends on the
goal. He follows the good woman to the borders
of Paradise and leaves her with polite bow; but
he follows the bad woman to the depths of hell.
An envious woman is spark from pursatory.
When the fruit must apologize for the tree, we
do not care TO save the seed.
1t is only when God and man have formed a
syndicate and agreed upon their laws that mar
riage is a safe inves. ment
When say of people what we would not say to
them, are either liars or towards.
The enmity of some people is the greatest COM
pliment they can pay

Summer in Arcadv.

James Lane Allen. author of the above
entitled book, calls it A Tale of Nature. A
more appropriate name could hardly have
been selected for it. 1t is an idyl, perfect in
expression, pastoral, study, designed to
point moral.
Mr.. Allen takes occasion, in a somewhat
lengthy preface. to criticize the decadent lit
eratHre of the past few years. He deprecates,
in no uncertain terms, the morbid suggestive
ness yelled in much of the literature that has
recently appeared. "We know too WELL" says
Mr.. Allen, "what exposures of the eternally
hidden they have coarsely made, what ideals
of personal deprayity they have scattered
broadcast what principles of social order they
have attacked what bases of universal de-
cency they have been resolute to undermine" :"

of incongruity, and therefore the more improb-
able the events narrated the more entertain
ing they are. Through these impossibilties,
however, there is woven thread of fairly
realistic adventure, along which are strung an
array of incidents that not inaccurately depict
the conditions of life in those days Between
jest and earnest the tale proceeds on its way,
miugling passages in which there is genuine
pathos with others in which fancy rams silly
and sinks to about the level of the "Brass
Monkey" Such book can hardly be con-
sidered seriously, and yet there are certain
aspects of it which fully deserve such con-
sideration.

A Connecticut Yankee in King Ar.
thurs Court.

The publication of new library edition of
Mark Twain's clever story, "a Connecticut
Yankee in King Arthur's Court" affords the
American public a first-class antidote for the
excitement is and passions of the political cam
paign to those who stay in town, and for the
duIlness and inanities of summer re-
sort life to those who go into the
country. The work is one of the best
of Twain's later books, both IN concep-
tion and in execution, and even those who
read it when first published can find enjoy
ment in rereading it in this attractive new
edition, which is enriched with photogravure
portrait of the author and many other illustra-
tions.

bat that class of literature which delights to
grovel in the mud for its ideals.
Summer in Arcady' is as we have said, q
pastoral. 1t treats of the love of Daphne, a
farmers daughter, for Hilary farmers son.
The book closes with the marriage of the two
against the wish of Daphne's father whose
main objection to the union appears to be the
fact that Hilary once INDUCED in the sinful
pastime of dancing. 1t is simple story, but
told in a manner that holds the readers atten-
ton from the first page to the last. New

A CABLE ACROSS THE PACIFIC:
House Committee on Commerce to
FavorabIy Report the Bill

Washington, Jan. 21.-From the ac-
ton of the House Committee on Com
merce to-day there seems to be little
doubt that a bill authorizing the
Pacific Cable Company to lay cable
from the Pacific coast to the Hawall
Islands and Japan will be fayorably
reported within very short time
The committee directed a sub-commit-
tee to prepare a bill embracing GER
tain changes considered desirable
from the bill outlined by the company.
There will also be a conference be-
tween members and the State depart
ment officials regarding arrangements
for cable station on the Marshall
Islands which are owned by Germany.
The principal points of difference
between the cable company and the
committee are the amount of govern
ment subsidy to be granted and the
time to be allowed for laying the
cabled. 1t is proposed by the company
to have the cable working to Hawaii
in eighteen months and completed to
Japan in three years. The bill to he
drafted viii reduce this time.
