'Doc Horne, Story of Street and Town, -
by George AIDE. Herbert S. Stone & Co.,
Chicago. For sale by the St. Paul Book
and Stationery Co.
Doc Horne is by the author or
''Artie" and Pink Marsh" Those who
have read these books will need but lit
tie in line of a review of 4" Doc Horne"
beyond this Information. This latest
t'Story of Street and Town" far exceeds
'Pink Marsh" and falls but little, if any,
short of 'Artie." " Dec Horne" is al
ready known to the readers ofthe chi
Cago Record, for the story as it stands is
rewritten, in fact, from a series of ar
ticles that first appeared in this journal.
doc" is a charming old gentleman, who
resides at the Alfalfa European hotel.
He is without title to the handle to his
name, save such as is given him by one
of his own charming plausible and al
ways interesting tales. Doc" is the
center of a group of men known to fame
as THE Race Track Man, The Light
ming Dentist" The Lust" a gentleman
who drinks. To the select few were add
ed in time The Freckled Boy The
Married Man." The Book Agent" and,
most momentous of all, THE Hustler"
These characters are all very distinctly
drawn with few and crisp touches, but
their marked individuality but serves as
q touchstone TO draw Doc Horne s.
beautiful fabrications Of love, adventure.
heroism and brilliant detective exploits.
The doctor is as innocent of guile as
he is of social polish, yet, according to
his own telling, he has fathomed the
world in all its aspects and moved in
the inner social circles Of "RichmCnd
before the war" Philadelphia, Boston
and every other place famed for its ex-
clusiveness. He elects presidents and
promotes generals, swiIns lakes, marcies
Spanish signorinas, disconcerts criminals
CANDLES and saves lives in the yarns he
imposes or himself and his heal ers and
remains, even in the telling of them, q
simple. honest, ,unsophisticated old boy
whose gentleness and chivalry gid his
own commonplace life quite as brightly
as the glowing career he creates out OF
a prolific fancy.
Doc" is at his best in the stories OF
his encounter with the St. Louis robbers
and his experience as a detective. II
these two tales ne offers suggestions tc
both robber and robbed worthy cf imi-
tation. The true story of O1abonee, tine
Hustler" and Docs arrest is E worthy
climax to all the old mans fabrications
His pathetic downfall in his cwn estima-
tion in the sight of his little world Is full
of hurcOr and sadness. and is paralleled
in human history by the collapse of q
child'S first balloon.

1.-The Bushwhackers and Other Stories,
by Charles Egbert Craddock. Herbert
S. Stone & Co., Chicago. For sale by
the st. Paul Book and Stationery Co.
A group of three stories by Charles Egg
bert Craddock, travelling under the title
of the first tale, The Bushwhackers,
comes dressed in about as charming
way as book ever knew. Any one who
cares for exquisite colors and thoroughly
good, simple design will buy this summer
volume, whether he cares for Miss MIR
phree's delightful stories or not. Though
the binding is only gray paper boards
with conventional splashes of white and
turquoise blue, as a work of art 1t is
worth more than the price your book
dealer will ask for it.
The tales themselves are quite worthy
their beautiful exterior. Charles Egbert
Craddock is not at her best in the short
story; nevertheless. the present sketches
are very good. Studies" these are,
rather than stories, short or long. The
sketches are narrative, rather than dra-
matte, though. made up OF incidents very
dramatic in themselves. Miss Murphree
In none of these tales leads up to eli
max; she rather drops her reader very
gradually down to the commonplace
through the last half of the sketch, after
leading him through heroic vicissitudes
through the first half. 1t is as if she were
narrating true events and had become
too much attached to her characters to
drop them at the momentous moment de-
manded by art. Two Of the three sketches
are tales of the Great Smoky mountains,
Miss Murphrees usual background. The
last, 1.-The Exploit of Choolah, the Chick
asaw,' is narrative Of Highland
bravery and honor and Indian subtlety
and courage in wars in America between
Britons and Indians on the one side and
French and Indians on the other.
1.-The Bushwhackers" is the important
sketch of the three. It follows the for
tunes of a mountain boy, Hilary Knox,
who attained his hearts desire in serv-
ing herocally in the Southern army. A
mere youth, dubbed Baby Bunting by
his admiring comrades, ignorant alike OF
books and men, he followed so simply and
directly his ideal of bravery that he
stopped at no odds until a villainOus
comrades knife took his right arm and
with it, as he thought, his much-loved
bravery The one-armed boy trembled
at a noise and shrank from a shadow on
the weary way home, and morbid dis
belief of himself completed the victory Of
his fear. But the "Bushwhackers'
brought a time when he proved himself
in the eyes of men and came back to
courage enough for the uneven struggle
with the world.

work of the dramatists, Eugene Labiche

ton of the play Is largely the work Of
Labiche. 1t may, with fairness, be at

charming style, familiar characters, it's
light and vivacious representations, it is
especially adapted for school reading.
The vocabulary and notes are sufficiently
full to render the book full of service
for early work and to furnish the assist
ance necessary for making the reading
both easy and attractive The book Is
supplied with a full vocabulary, and the
