LITERATURE OF TODAY |
A MODERN LITERARY SAT-
IRE
sThe Celebrity" by MIR. Winston
ChurchiIl-A Western Story by
Ellen observation-disclosures
Tales" by Henry B. Fuller-"A
Strange Story by John Strange
Winter.

The merits Of '"The Celebrity" are few
but strong. Mr. Winston ChurchilPs
first venture into fiction misses moro
desirable qualities than it achieves,
vet it's losses do not leave it bankrupt.
1t is not literature, but it is very good
fun, indeed. On the whole, there is
perhaps more good literature than
good fun in life, and any addition to
the stock Of the latter article has real
value.
The book has a clever and well-made
plot; enough dash and "go" to keep
the reader on the alert without strain
ing his attention.; two or three scenes
which are bound to produce genuine
and spontaneous laughter, and GER
tain off-hand realism in its sketchy
description Of a summer resort on one
of the Great Lakes:
On the other hand, it is written in
very slovenly and colloquial English
English as she is spoke" when care
Iessly handled by an educated person.
1t is to be feared that all the sentences
will not parse. There Is no attempt at
character-d drawing, except in. the case
of Mr.. Farauhar Fenelon Cooke, an
out-and-out sport of a type quite IA
miliar in life and quite novel in f1c-
ton. Mr.. Cooke is well-drawn, and his
merits are made clear, while his de-
fects are not minimiZed. All the other
people are merely puppets, except, per-
haps, the Celebrity himself. This gen.
tleman, who was young and cookbook
ing, with a square chin, dark hair, and
a vast self-conceit, wrote novels and
stories of our best society, which
"were plainly intended to have a brac-
ing moral effect" and were read and
discussed by all the mice" girls in the
United States, from Maine to Oregon.
In short, the work~of the Celebri-
ty .slid into popularity by clinging
to the coat-tails Iof the higher emo
TONS" as a critic once said Of the work
of the young author to whose address
Mr.. Churchilps volume is obviously
addressed. The Celebrity" was so
feted that he tired ofs:his popularity;
advertised himself as about to go to
Europe, and really went West to a
great complacency, theAname OF a man
who closely resernbfedA him in appear
ance. He made love lavishly,. and had
a good time untiEthe gentleman whom
he was personating embezzled 100000
and went off, getting his name into the
papers and bringing down on the Ce-
lebrity a series of we'll deserved dis
asters, which the other. characters who
are in the secret, and the reader as
well, enjoy immensely.
On the whole the book ought to be as
popular on hotel verandahs and be-
meath umbrellas at the shore this sum-
mer as ever the Celebrity's own pro-
auctions have been. It is to be hoped
that if the autumn finds Mr.. Winston
Churchill himself as popular charac-
ter as his hero was, that it will not go
to his head, producing excitement and
local swelling. The inference of the
reader of 1.-THE Celebrity" Is that Mr.

THE King of the Town."

''The King Of the Town" is a forceful
book by Ellen Mackubin. 1t lies in that
middle ground between the short story
and the novel and has some Of the dis
tinctive qualities of each. Perhaps the
impression Of the former is the more
evident and at times the reader feels
that the internal law of the tale itself
demands more rigid condensation,
and yet he goes back page after page
and chapter after chapter in vain
search for that which should be sacri-
feed.
"The King Of the Town" Is a story
of the West, an impressive, convincing
West, If yet a West that is seen
through feminine eyes.
Silverton, the product of two silver
mines and a. branch railroad, turbulent,
vicious and irresponsible, Is the thorn
in the flesh of Fort Ludlow, an army
post a few miles away, the officers Of
which come to consider their old guar
dianship Of the FESTIVE Indian a sine
cure in comparison with their self-im-
posed responsibility for the life and fair
fame Of their later and more harrow
ing neighbor.
An iron hand imposes some sort of
order in the moral pfggery" of Silver
ton, and the man who owns 1t is gen
eral storekeeper," street preacher mis-
sionary and regulator" He earns and
maintains the title Of king of the
Town." His good deeds are backed up
with unflinching force and his revolver
Is well able to defend either his justice
or his mercy. Into contact with this
man Is brought the new commandant
of Fort Ludlow, an upright just figure
If not as heroic as the kings" These
natural allies prove to be old enemies
with woman's misery and death be-
tween them. for Dare, the Silverton
king, the missionary, has a black rec
ord behind him.
Both men are now under the in
fuence of one woman, a girl with ap-
probation enough to love them both.
Dare works out his mission in COM
bined pride and humbleness of spirit,
his sincerity doubted equally by his
enemy and himself The best stroke
about the picturing Of this man is his
own questionings of his motives, the
fear that his devotion to his work is
as much the pride Of place and power
as of remorse. The character is theatre
cal in the extreme and yet while one
reads one is convinced, and it is only
after the book is some time closed that
faint doubt sbegin to assail one-"it's
striking-but is 1t art?'

aFrom the Other Side"

Four stories, by Henry B. Fuller, Of
transatlantic travel, are included in
a little volume called From the Other
Side" These are from various points
of view, and perhaps the best thing
about them, one and all, Is their con-
sistency with these same points of
view. 1.-THE Greatest of These" is an
accidental acquaintance described by
a young portrait painter impressed
with his own remarkable discernment
and exceptional tact. Too much Of
cad to suspect his own caddishness, he
reveals it with every sentence. Perhaps
the effect is a little over-drawn, and
the man himself not impressively con-
vincing, but the other characters, seen
through his eyes, are cleverly drawn

taking the close-fitting black cap with

And as the dame came courtesying
and bowling her delighted thanks, Earl
William, setting a forefinger under her
triple chin, stopped and kissed her in
his gayest and most debonnair manner.

The strong man watched the young
earl ride away to the south along the
fair lochside. He stood muttering to
himself and looking long under his
hand at his lord. The rider bowed his
head as he passed under the rich bios
soming of the white mayblossom, which
covered like creamy lace the Three
Thorns of Carlinwark. now deeply
stained with rose from the clouds of
sunset.

bleeding heart. God avert the omen

The rider on Black Darnaway rode
right into the eye of the sunset. On
his left hand Carlinwark and its many
islets burned rich with spring-like TO-
liage and the golden sunset light. Darn
awaY's well-shod hooves sent the dia-
mond drops flying as with obvious
pleasure he splashed through the shall
lows. Ben Gairn and Screel, boldly
ridged against the southern sky, stood
out in dark amethyst against the rosy
sky of even, but the young rider never
so much as turned his head to look at
them.

The light of her radiant smile passed
from her lips into his soul.

not removing his eyes from her face.

said, without continuing the subject,
