- W. HORNUNG'S name sounds IA
. miliar. and perhaps our inability to
place him is confession of weak
l. ness ill-becoming supposedly ON
niscient critics. However, MIR. Horn
uug's little story, "1rraiie's Bushranger,'
as recently published In Scri5ner's Ivory
Series, is gem of exquisite serenity.
1t is an enthralling bit OF fiction, and not
SO long but that it may be run through
in single sitting. As suggested by the
title, the setting is Australian. Up at
a sheeping station new owner is ex-
peCted. He arrives, hut under circum-
stances which lead lrral to believe
that he is a bandit. who ha. the bush in
terror. His manner and personality have,
however, Captivated her, and she TesJ!utcly
abstains from disclosing the identity OF
the man She finds herself loving An
other mau comes. claiming 10 he The new
owner. lie turns the extenuating Circum-
stances surrounding the coming of his
predecessor TO his favor, and is received
on his word, while the other is locked up
to be dealt with as the law shall decree
at night Irralie goes to release him. He
effects his escape, bat she falls into the
hands of the last conner. After series
of adventures Of keenest interest the origi-
nal claimant establishes himself and the
second conner is proven to be the outlaw
The whole scheme of the plot which caused
the two men to he mixed up is most in
genious, and the motives which express
yet repress Just so much as is proper for
the correct movement of the story, are all
plausible, while in such passages as those
recounting the liberation and the ride
Mr.. Hornung has given evidence of ex-
cellent descriptive capacities. There is
no attempt ut Characterization, but 1t
is not mixed. for "Irralie's Bushranger'
is essentially Il romance of action.

7 is always pleasant to chronicle new
discovery In literary geography. So
prolific and keen scented are the story
makers that every place and period
seems to have been pre-emptcd. But
occasionally n writer, with a new claim
Stakcd off, comes forward. and IL his story
comports with his originality the results
are entirely happy. The latest discovery
to fiction is Kapsas as it was in the sos.
Arthur Peterson makes the stirring times
of this period of the then territory the
background Of his latest novel, For Free
dom's Sake" last week published by the
Lippinco:ts. Bret Harte has staked off
the extreme Western mountainous country,
Hamlin Garland owns the Dakotas in a
literary sense, Iowa towns belong to Oc-
tave Thanet, Mark Twain long ago pre-
empted the borders and bed OF the Mis-
sissippi, but the plains of Kansas We're left
to Mr.. Peterson.
In For Freedoms Sake he has dcnion-
strated how much there is stirring and dra-
matte in this supposedly raw and uninviting
country. In the iifties Kansas was made
the testing ground of n nuinbero OF determined
pioneer aboli,ionists from the North. Their
experiences are of a character which lends
itself TO the descriptive skill of the nov.
elist. Their lives were full OF adventure,
nobility. sacrifice and heroism. Mr Peter.
son sets IA love story in this environment. but
the romantic character of the place and
times obscure IL as main interest, aud We
find ourselves regarding his book with a
consuming interest for its conspicuous value
as an historical novel. 1t is an historical
novel, though he has not gone across seas,
nor back centuries for his theme. Naturally
the people met in Kansas forty years ago.
especially in the prairie sweeps. suggested
strong characterization. For Freedoms
Sake" is colored with many sketches of
well-distingushed personalities.
