Don't pry into his past, if there is any
thing shameful in it, the shame is his

enough to bear it alone. Don't conduct
your courtship by wire. The pictures

hutton and uses of zach of the six

THE FOWLER.
Mrs. Haraden's Latest Novel Not En-
tirsIy Successful.

tirsIy Successful.
The Fowler. BY Beatrice Harraden.
Dodd, Mead & Co., New York. For
sale by Putnam, Davis & Co.
Whatever appears from the pen of
Miss Harraden is eagerly caught up
by a public which recalls gratefully
the freshness and surprise of 'Ships
that Pass in the Night" While "The
Fowler" is Miss Harraden's most am
bilious work since then, indeed, the
largest work she has ever written, it
hardly marks an advance over that
earlier book, and it bears the same
stamp of a narrow and somewhat
morbid acquaintance with life. There is
a clear gain in the amount of humor,
the chapters which relate to the assidu-
Gus wooirg of the innkeepers ana TO
Mrs. Mary Shows ancestors" These,
however, have nothing essential to do
with the story.
The fowler is a man, Theodore Bevan
by rame, who is nothing less than the
"Disagreeable Man in disguise, only
more 50 He goes the Disagreeable
Man a great many times better, but
unlike him, he is thoroughly evil and
Unnatural. 1t is hard to believe in
Theodore Bevan, although the author
is at great pains to realize him. At one
moment he might have passed for a
suffering saint. at the next for poet,
and at the next for a ruffian. He had a
coldly, slDtly cruel face; he was tiny
of form, but with powerful hands and
wrists and he had a curious mental
sway over most people, especially Wo-
men: 70 one who had once known him
could get quite free from him men
tally. 1t was Just as though he WoVe
a web and waited.
Nora Penhurst, the heroine, is built
on similar lines to the heroine of Ships
that Pass in the Night" but beside
being q successful teacher. college
graduate and a gallant, blithe, beauti-
full woman, she is fairly well-to-uo, ana
lives. when not teaching with her
father in a castle. 1t was there that
Bevan met her when ne was strolling
about the country on a holiday deter
mined to experiment with and ascertain
if he could influence such a healthy
character as hers. BY way OF an in
teresting experiment. he made her fall
in love with him. only to find himself
as genuinely in love with her as man
OF his calibre could be. 1t is hardly
true to say that Nora loved him. al
though she engaged herself TO him and
was on the eve of marrying him, for
he had woven a net for her and en-
shared her in it. Gradually he brought
discord between her and her father; her
friends dr0T ped away and her sunny,
loving nature was soured- and chilled.
Bevan was proud of having subdued
her individuality; he was training her,
moulding her and making himself nee
essarv to her I am often at a loss
which weapon to employ, he wrote in
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-05-21

his journal, "b1t it is worth the trouble,
and by God when she is thoroughly
tanned, she shall remain tanned. l have
a strong hold on her, although she is
always trying to shake herself free. But
she shall not escape from me. And !
do not intend to do without her.
have set my heart on her, my will on
her, and the stronger her desire to slip
away from me, the stronger my deter
mlnation to hold her against all odds"
How Nora escapes from the fowler
and marries the man who has from the
first loved her, must be left to the
reader to discover.
Miss Harraden has made this story
the receptacle for a vast number Of
earnest thoughts and reflections, and
no one can be insensible to the beauty
of some of the writing. Miss Harra-
den never eonfuses good and evil, and
she is never light over serious matters;
perhaps this accounts in part for the
vogue which her stories have had and
the cordial reception 1.-THE Fowler" has
met with.

& Co, Philadelphia.
Until some ten years ago, social life
as it actually existed in the American
colonies during the 18th and 18th cen
turtles was a sealed book to the average
readers. A few works of limited cir
culation had appeared. giving accounts
Of settlements and families in various
parts of the country, but popular ar
ticles were not only infrequent, but
often full of doubtful traditions and
historical blunders. Some Colonial
Mansions" is a book that will appeal
to the growing interest in historic
homes, family history and social and
domestic conditions of colonial times.
The various articles, from which dry
statistics and masses of dates have
been expressly excluded, will be found
full of interesting facts regarding the

families selected are purely American,
and illustrate the best in American
manners and customs. Among them
are many which. from the planting OF
the colonies to the present time, have
materially helped to mould the destiny
of the nation. and whose descendants
in many walks of life have participated
in the struggles of our country.

A very valuable and interesting fea-
ture of the work is the genealogical ta-

contain information concerning thou

of the work, as in some instances, it is
the first attempt to gather under one

agreeable in his detective stories; he
lacks the delicaey of perception, the
grace of literary art and the knowledge
of human nature requisite for a story
of this sort. The best that can be said
for his latest literary venture is that it
is thoroughly healthy in sentiment, and
that it contains pleasant historical
sketches of Westminster Abbey, the bu-

home of Thomas Carlyle and other in
