By Cora Linn Daniels author of "Sar-
dia, a Love Story" and LAS 1t Is to
Be" Cloth, $3.50 Little, Brown and Co.,
publishers, 254 Washington street, Bos-
ton.
THE Bronze Buddha' is the story of
the search for a particular idol of an
ancient East Indian temple, which had
for centuries been worshipped by thou
sands. of devotees, but which had be-
come lost during an Instruction. The
author has interviewer in her plot the
character of an Indian prince from the
far East, whose rare and strange nature
has been educated to those quaint and
peculiar superstitions which move the
Oriental mind to singular depths of
pathos and heights of eXaltation, and
around him and the magnificent bronze
idol centres the interest of this mystical
romance.
Although from the nature of the plot,
one would suppose the reader to be
plunged into the depths of India and
Oriental mysticism, as a matter Of fact,
the scene is laid in and about the city
of New York and well-known agri-
cultural centre in the west. This ingen-
dental life enables the author to present
many striking contrasts, although
without losing the air of mystery and
the feeling for eastern effects.
Strange and unfamiliar as are some
Of the scenes of ",The Bronze Buddha, ;"
their accuracy is vouched for by the
data and literature received from no
less personages than the highest Eng
llsh officials Of the various departments
