Mr. Marriott-Watson is one of the YER
satile writer's who Is always doing some
thing new. The bewildered reader can
hardly keep track of his picturesque cham
ges OF style and theme. He has not. as

Dick" one of his earliest and most wor-
thy successes. but everything that he does
commands interest because of the obvi-
Gus sincerity and enthusiasm which goes
into his work. e. -
The Rebel is a historical novel OF a
new type. One might call II a realistic ro-
nance. II is more or less credible. plaus-
ible. true to human nature. The hero does
not perform all kinds Of feats at the mo-
ment they are needed. for the rescue OF
the heroine, and he Is not inspired to his
doughty deeds solely by her lovely face.
In the first place. he is driven by circum-
stances into her defense. and afterwards
pride and perversity have quite as much
10 do with his actions as love has. In
short, he is a real man. played upon by
the CompleNity OF circumstance and mo-
tive which make life such a different mat
ter from romance. For once, such char
acter In fiction is a refreshing change, but
as the thing FOR which We chiefly love and
seek the historical romance is its unreal
ity. II IA obvious that Mr.. Marriott-wat-
son must be careful not TO repeat his clev-
err performance.
The hero is a daredevil nobleman Of

Chorwell. who becomes involved IN a quar-

subsequently king OF England. who is pur-
suing the heroine against her viii. There
