FOR THE PRETENpER,s CAUSE.

SPANISH JOHN-By William McLen-
 nan. New York. Harper & Brothers.
 Many readers will doubtless be familiar with this spirited romance of the wars, it having run it's course as a serial through the pages of Harper's Magazine. It is the story of a Highland youth, one of the McDonnells, who espouseS the cause of the Pretender, James III. and in his service fights many battles and incurs many dangers. The youth joins the famous Regiment Irlandia and fights for Spain in Italy. He is a born ire-eater. and apparently it does not make much diff ference for whom he is fighting; the harder the blows the happier he is. There are some good battle pieces in the vol ume. and the artist. F. de Myrbach, adds
The San Francisco call., 1898-03-06

He had declared it beneath the dignity of
 a gentleman to meet on terms of equality
 a low-bred German dauber in paints, but
 he wanted to show his adversary that his
 countrymen were not the only men that
 could wield a sword His pride and the
 contempt he felt for his antagonist had
 prevented him from denying the unjust
 imputations of the latter. but he was
 determined more than ever to win the
 beautiful girl who had posed for the
 Madonna away from the painter, who
 was evidently her lover and whom he
 denominated a cad.'
 Naturally these complications cannot
 last forever. The frequent disappear
 ances of Gottfried bring his fiancee, Con
 stance, into sad trouble, which reaches an
 acute crisis when she discovers that the
 man is already engaged to a wealthy pa
 troness of hers. This habit of reckless
 engagement eventually ruins the Rex
 Gottfried combination, the finale being
 reached when Gottfried is actually ar
 rested for murdering himself in the per
 son of Rex Darlington.
 To attain this result the authoress works up her plot with good deal of ingenuity. Rex Darlington, after one of his habitual bouts of drunkenness, makes his way to a low lodging-ho whither he is followed by the faithful valet, Per- [ ing Gottfried Jager emerges, in posses sion of Carrington'S money and jeWelry l The case is quite clear, and probably | Gottfried would have been hanged, like Conan Doyle'S hero, for murdering him self, had not an impecunous German doc tor, with plenty of leisure, taken the trouble to study the question of amnesia- The trial is nearing it's end, the evidence for the prosecution seems overwhelming, when Gottfried's counsel electrifies the court with a piece of declamation which ! is one of the strongest things in the book Addressing the jury he says: "I shall en- deavor to prove to you the innocence of
 my client. not by casting discredit upon the evidence that has already been given,
 for every word of it is needed to substan-
 tiate the facts l shall show in the evil
 dence for the defense. l shall not try to
 prove an alibi nor break a single link In the chain of crcumstantial evidence against the accused. So far from doing so, gentlemen of the jury, declare to you
 openly in the presence of the court that
 I believe every word of the witnesses
 who have already appeared before you to be true. Neither shall 1 urge the plea of temporary insanity. which would be a tacit admission of the crime. So far from making use of any of these devices, shall endeavor to prove the innocence of
 my client by the strongest evidence pos
 sibIe in the case, I mean by producing in court the supposed victim of the crime of which he stands accused
 Of course there is tremendous excite ment at this announcement, and the coun- sel makes the most of his opportunity. "Gentlemen of the jury" he eXclaims, in low. vibrating tones, "Geoffrey Hunter
 Darlington stands before you at the bar
The San Francisco call., 1898-03-06
of this court. arraigned for the murder

of this court. arraigned for the murder of himself"
 The result is triumphant acquttal or the prisoner, and Gottfried, his neck nav ing been saved, changes back into the wicked Rex. The latter has now dlscov- cred all about the dual substitution busi- ness, so he purposely commercials Gott- fried in order to make love to the charm- ing Constance. But the clear hgnt or true love instantly penetrates sucn shallow device, an Rex has to Whlte- wash himself by long sojourn abroad before Constance will accept him as a substitute for Gottfried. Of course such story can have but one ending ana the curtain is rung down to the sound of the conventional wedding bells.

JIMTY AND OTHERS-By Margaret
 Sutton Briscoe. New York: Harper 6
 Brothers.
 There are some rather good tales in this volume, which deals, in a pleasant chatty way, with episodes of American country life. The scene is mainly laid in the South, and in Jimty we have the story of a real old Virginian gentleman who endeavors to make his way amid the incongruous surroundings of New York. More amusing is the story of a goose-chase, in which an eccentric visi- tor to farming neighborhood allows a flock of geese to decide which of two girls he is to marry. The author tells these stories in clear forcible English, and above all she refrains from too much
The San Francisco call., 1898-03-06

comnIice is needed and the authoress finds one conveniently to hand in a valet named Perkins. The following passage will give fair idea of how she manages this difficult piece of business:
 "Gottfried had tried repeatedly to see Rex Darlington, and that young gentle man himself had left more than one mes sage for Gottfried at the dealers, but so far they had failed to meet. Notwith- standing the efforts of Perkins to keep his master out of trouble Gottfried had at length succeeded in sending a chal- lenge, which Rex had insolently accepted.

 HE theory of dual consciousness has / had many opponents. Fiction and n fact alike have furnished us with
 instances of the existence of two in
 dependent spiritual units within the same material body, and it is an un- doubted scientific fact that the brain is capable, under very exceptional condi- tions, of entirely changing the character of the individual whom it controls.
 The most successful exploitation of this diseased condition has been made by Stevenson, who, in his famous 'Dr. Jekyll and MT. Hyde" pushed the theory to it's extreme limits of possibility. In this case, it will be remembered. there was not only a change of consciousness, but also an actual transference of bodily form. The phenomena pictured went beyond the limits of scientific observation into the realms of imagination, and of course no one ever dreamed of taking JekyH and Hyde. fascinating romance though it be, seriously. Conan Doyle has also, in one of his detective stories, made brilliant play with the same theme.
 But Miss Virna Woods, in taking up the well-worn topic, does so in all serious ness. She is determined to show that there is a scientific basis for her little plot. So she looks up Ribot's Diseases of the Memory" and other standard works on the brain and gives us a whole page of quotations about amnesia, that curious mental condition of forgetfulness in which the patient may lead two lives, being, while in either state, completely oblivious of his doings in the other
