"DauntIess."


"Dauntless." by Evan Martin. L. C.
Page & Co.. Boston
Mr.. Martin has chosen the time Of
Charles I. and Cromwell for his latest
novel, which well sustains the reputation
he made with 1.-The Knight OF the King
Grard.'
"Dauntless" Is the story Of Ire1ands
loyalty to the Stuarts and round the
events Of that stirring time Mr. Martin
has written a story which is really in
teresting, although one might wish the
details somewhat 1essened The love af-
fair Of Harry Dauntless and Aileen Mac
Mahon is subordinate to the thrilling
history of the royalists who counted not
the cost in their devotion to lost cause
Men whose deeds will live through all
ages are protrayed briefly, Of course, but
with an appreciative touch which makes
them very real. Cromwell, Owen Roe
O'Neill, the far-famed soldier of Arras,
and Evir MacMahon, the redoubtable
bishop Of Clogher, hold such positions
in the history Of Ireland's opposition to
the Commonwealth as to absorb the In
terest In any story which includes them.
Although Cromwell plays a small part
in ''Dauntless" his picture is not less
firmly drawn than that Of O'Neill and
the bishop.

The tax ate is 1924 per $780,
So the Vanderbilt heirs will pay $35S, 900

In the tax lists of last year and of 1898
Cornelius Vanderbilts taxable personal

On this amount he paid taxes of some
