When Mr.. Churchill wrote The Celebrity" he
not only added to the gayety Of novel-readers,
bat gave promise Of work which would inevita-
bly, be clever and amusing. Richard Carvel"
is both, and it is something else too; it is in
teresting essay in more digniGed and valuable
form Of art than that in which the author
chose to make his first appearance. 1t Is 4 Sc
rious historical novel, embracing a romantic
courtship and many events on land and sea-
in Maryland and in England, which involve
famous personages like Washington, Fox and
Horace Walpole. When the hero is not devotng
himself to Mistress Dorothy Manners, beauti-
full coquette, and striving with amazing clumsi-
ness to win her heart he Is resisting the in
sdous malignity Of uncle who is trying to
deprive him of his inheritance. When the
wicked uncle kidnaps him and sends him out of
Maryland, a captive on pirate ship. Master
Carvel is rescued by the redoubtable Paul
Jcnes-then on the threshold Of his career-and
is taken to London. where he foregathers with
Fox and other young bloods at the clubs

considering the present limitations OF the au-
thor. The style is smooth There is touch
as Of a mature and practised writer contrasting
strangely With these marks OF inexper.ence to
which we have referred i.,
"Dross" is one of the novels which once begun
must be read to the end. The plot revolves
around an old gentleman Of unimpeachable
manners and apparently hawess rectitude
whose greed for gold nevertheless causes all
the characters In the story. including his beau
tful daughter, to undergo misfortunes and pass
through more or less exciting adventures The
scene is laid chiefly in France under the Second
Empire. but the action passes at times to Eng
land and even to the Alps. In order to find out
just what becomes of the fortune that disap-
PEARS early in the book. and to see how the
egotistical hero contriyes to win his childlike
but suspicious bride. one is willing to put I'D
with the unattractiye qualities that have been
gaining upon the author In his work He is
still bent on being epgrammatic. and the shall
lowness of his epiGrams is more wearisome than
ever. The philosophical platitudes with which
the book is thckly sown might perhaps be at
tributed to the hero. who chiefly utters them,
and who is a van slightly offensive person. re-
calling some OF Ouida's least edifylng guards
men; but these labored maxims are in all OF Mr..
Merrimans books. He is not content to tell
a good story which Is Just what he has the
gift for doing. but must wear an air OF worldly
wisdom that Us. as matter Of fact affected. and
silly "Dross' is too interesting a tale to be
Ignored. but one wishes Il could be rewritten by
the author In less pretentious vein.

old, awkward way to the cOquette already men
toned she also having come across the sea-
This Is not ALL Our hero has still much to DO
Among other things he must take part in the
fight between the Bon Homme Richard and the
Scraps. But We will not spoil the reader
pleasure by telling him all that the narrative
contains.
The plot has many intricacies. and. remem-
boring the neat craftsmanship of The Celeb
rity." We expect to find them handled with
dramatic effect. Be it said. however-with much
regret-that the movement Of the story is OBJ
scured and impeled by the authors disposition
to put in too much The narrative is too long
1t has been expanded not by the exigencies of
the plot but by the minute pictures which Mr.
Churchill gives of life in Colonial Maryland
aDd in the London of the last century. In an
historical novel we only look for such pictures
of the time" as are necessary to create an illu-
sion to give the characters in the story their
proper environment. In Richard Carver' the
actors are often in danger of being swamped
by the scenery. The portraits of Fox and his
boon companions are cleverly drawn. and the
with deftness for which we give Mr.. Churchill
due credit, but the test OF creative writer is
to hold the balance true between his hero and
the figures that cross his path There are mo-
ments in which, read this book. we sus-
pect that young Carvel has only been carried to
London in order that the author may describe
the fashionable foes of the eighteenth century.
and while the sea fight to which we have alluded
has certain relevance and Is treated with
capital spirit, We cannot escape an uneasy feel.

SCROFULA
Il is Foul B!ood's Advertise.
rnent
But 1t Is Soon Cured by Hoods
SarSapa rilia.

Yes, scrofula, ffanything, may be called
the advertisement of foul blood. 1t is the
scourge Of the world offensive, painful,
debilitating, stubborn and well nigh
unendurable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may palliate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
taint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, so far as we
know, has almost invariably succeeded -
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years of taint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read this:
"My daughter was afflicted with i'm
pure blood. There were running sores
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla and began giving the girl this med
icine. The result was that she was per-
fectly cured after taking few bottles.
She has had no symptoms OF scrofuIa
sores since that time" MARIETTA M.
