"Rosin the Raau"

Another of the CAPTAIN January
series is ''Rosin the Beau" Laura T..
Richards is very happy in her treat
ment CT these simple idyls for children
Of many ages. and the present dainty
volume is as charming as any that has
come from her pen. "Rosin the Beau"
is the sequal to Melody" and the story
tells most prettily the tender romance
of Jacques d'Arthiway, the son of that
Marie, the little French violnist, who
gave her name to one OF the earlier vol
umes of the series. Jacques is also a
violinist, and 1T is for this that the
lame CT "Rosin the Beau" suggested
by an old French song, is given to him.
The charm of the story is in the simple
tenderness Of the telling.

1.-The Lake of Wine."

"The Lake Of Wine" Is a story of
sensational adventure written with a
lavish hand. In the very beginning
the reader is plunged into a situation
as exciting and narrowing as most
authors reserve for their climax. The
story's hero loses his fortune at cards.
Now, this in itself is rot unusual in
story books, but this particular game is
removed from the ordinary, for by it
one man loses his head, another his
mistress, another his fortune, and yet
another his life. Sir Robert Lime, los
ing his fortune, loses also his desire to
live, and with his last guinea buys a
boat to carry him in midstream to
"rneet the devil halfway" Gamester
though he is, there is nerve in his car
riage and humor in his philosophy, and
when mysterious reprieve comes to
him in reserve fortune left him by
mis- father, whose foresight predicted
disaster for the wayward youth, he
proves himself equal to the situation,
which is peculiar enough to excite his
curiosity and hazardous enough to
employ all his energy. The mysterious
estate is supposed to be haunted, and
so it is, but by material ghosts, des-
perados who have in their keeping a
famous ruby, which gives it's
name, "The Lake Of Wine" to
the story. 1t is through blood
shed. adventure, lovemaking and
all the usual paraphernalia of the TO-
mancer that Sir Robert finally takes
possession Of his last Inheritance, and
for the many lovers of this sort of
thing the book has much in store. The
style is suited to plot Of much move
nent, and the story, from beginning to
end is well held together 1t is the kind
Of yarn that helps while away the
tediousness of sultry railway journey.

"stories of the New York Ghetto"


Five sketches of considerable power
are published under the title of the ini-
tial tale. 'An Imported Bridegroom"
by Mr.. Abraham Cahan. The stories are
not clever in the ordinary sense of the
word, but they are more than that
they are serious and determined, and,
although we will wait long for any,
thing snowy from Mr.. Cahan's pen,
the present group Of sketches promises
growing force and future achievement
Of no mean order.
The New York Jew Of the East side.
as Mr.. Cahan paints him, has all the
earmarks Of his race and time; but
he is something more than a type, he
Is reality. He belongs to class, but
he is an individuality, and as such has
individual human interest. Then the
characters that swarm this Western
Ghetto are alive, they may be held in
the stiff bonds Of prejudice and tradi-
ton and so move stiffly and ungrace-
fully and breathe hardly. but move and
breathe they do, and their sometimes
unlovely presence in literature is justi-
fed by their vitality.
Humor and pathos underlie the mar

and barrenness Of these lives, and the
smile with which one closes the story
