She is shrewd and sharp, and, al
though several of the New York writ

empty, 1 must say that I found it quite
different. She is delighted to talk to
those who can speak her own Ian

might have depressing effect on the
Johnnies, if they but knew it, although
it has not been published. Merode IS
going to be married. What is more,
she is going to marry man who IS
in trade, but who has more money
than he knows what to do with, and.
as no sum whatever would place Me-

probably be a very happy one.

contemporaneous social types and tendencies

''The Workers. Walter A. Wyckoff's vivid
narrative Of his personal experiences as a

It is said that when the author of The
Missionary Sheriff., and of many other
strange stories of Western life, was taking
a walk one day she happened to observe the
name tThanet' chalked a freight car.
1t struck her fancy, and, prefxing Octave"
to it. she created the pseudonym which is now
familiar to thousands of readers. Indeed,
comparatively few readers know Miss Alice
French by any other name. Few know too,
that though in her works she reveals an in
sight into Western life that could be pos
sessed only by bred to it, she is New
England stock. Born in Davenport, To-, she
has travelled extensively in The Southwest
and in the South, where she is as much at
and Nebraska, from whom she has drawn
some of her strongest characters. In 'The
Missionary Sheriff, her latest volume, recent
ly published by the Harpers, Miss French
has done some OF her finest work, the chief
figure in each Of the stories, Amos Wickliff,
being an absolutely distinct American type
and one of the strongest and most loyable
characters in recent fiction.
