CYRUS TOWNSEND BRADY.

Nothing could better reveal the per-
sonality of Cyrus T. Brady, the author of
the Grip of Honor" than the stirring
titles he has given to his books. For
Love of Country For the Freedom OF
the Sea- THE Grip of Honor all of
them giving a truer conception of the
writer than could be given in columns
of description. Two years ago his first
novel For Love of Country" was a ia
vorite book with the officers of Admiral
Dewey's flagship. It's author at that time
was chaplain of the First Pennsylvania
Volunteer regiment. When war was de-
clared he lost no time in trying to re-
ente, the naval service which he had left
some fifteen years before. AS there was
some delay in considering his application,
he Joined the First Pennsylvania regi-
ment as chaplain and served through the
war in that capacity.
The soldiers of that regiment will never
forget Mr. Brady if only by reason Of a
plan which he conceived and carried
through. The chaplain had great per-
sonal influence with all the men in the
command and shortly before payday, in
various ways he appealed to the men g
memory of home and inspired in them
the desire to send to their families as
much money as possible. When payday
came, nearly all the months pay was
deposited with the chaplain who took care
to ship it off Immediately. He was an
acute judge of soldier character as events
turned out, for within few days the men
who had shown the greatest enthusiasm
over the scheme, came around and tried
to withdraw part or all of their money.
Their disappointment resulted in a cool
ness between them and Mr.. Brady, but
in q few weeks grateful letters OF ac-
knowledgement poured into the camp and
regained for the chaplain his former pop
ularity.
Few Of our novelists can look back upon
a career so varied. Born in Allegheny
City in 1861, in his ninth year the family
removed to Kansas then a sparsely set
tied State, and there Mr.. Brady spent his
youth and received his early education.
When seventeen years of age, he was

fortunate in receiving an appointment to
the Naval Academy al Annapolis, from
which he was graduated in 1888, and
where he absorbed American history and
acquired that love of the sea and sea
fights which have been the inspiration of
his novels. Force of circumstances,
however, kept Mr.. Brady from following
the sea. A good opportunity offered in
railway enterprise which he accepted and
for the next few years the work of road
construction took him through the rough
est parts of the West and Northwest.
Then again his life underwent sudden
and complete change. He became strong
ly drawn toward the ministerial profess
sion, determined to take orders, carried
out his plan and in 1888 was ordained in
the Episcopal church. The next six years
were spent in missionary work in the
Western States, and his le3orS We're so
untiring and the results so r-raaching
in their benefits, that Mr.. Brady was
made Archdeacon of Kansas, a post which
he held for period of over three years :;
then he was called East to Philadelphia.
Although so many professions have
claimed part of his life, it is as an his
torical novelist that he is best known at
the present time. His literary career
begins comparatively late in life, hut that
he had literary ambitions is shown by
the fact that when only seventeen years
of age he submitted manuscripts to diff
ferent publishers. They were invariably
declined, however, and the young author
was completely discouraged. 1t was
eighteen years later that the manuscript
of For Love of Country was submitted
to publisher and was Immediately ac-
cepted.
An ardent lover of history and especially
of the picturesque exploits of our earlX
wars it was natural that Mr. Brady should
find inspiration for his first book among
the stirring scenes of the Revolution.
For Love of Country attracted SO much
attention that the second book, For the
Freedom of the Sea- was in demand as a
serial. 1t was finally secured by the Sat-
urday Evening Post, of Philadelphia, and
the advantage of specialization is shown
by the quickness with which it outstripped
it's predecessor, being in demand as soon
as published and selling over thirty thou
sand copies within short time after pub
lication. AS a still further evidence of
the authors growing popularity the first
large editions of the Grip of Honor i"
just published, was exhausted in advance
orders. 1t has taken time and labor for
Mr.. Brady to attain his present position
and he has attained it only by faithful
and persevering work. There are COM
paratively few who enter upon a literary
career and succeed after their thirtieth
year. Thomas Hardy was thirty before
his first book was written, George Eliot
was almost forty. Like them, Mr.. Brady
was kept in other occupations by force of
circumstances, and only attained his OBJ
ject after protracted efforts.

BISHOP PENDLE-a novel. BY Fergus
Hume. Cloth. 12mo, $1.25. Rand Nc
Nally & Co., Publishers, Chicago and New
York
Mr. Hume is widely known as a master
Of stirring, ingenious plot that first mis-
leads and then surprises the reader, and OF
vigorous, picturesque English.
In Bishop Pendle, while there is no
falling off in plot and style, there is a
welcome and marvellous broadening out
in the cast of characters, representing
an unusually wide range of typical men
and women. With consummate skill the
author causes these to reveal themselves
by action and speech in a way that for
the reader, has. all the charm of personal
intercourse with living people.
Mr.. Hume's treatment of the peculiar
exclusive, ecclesiastical society in a
small English cathedral city is quite
worthy of Anthony Trollope, and his prin-
cipal character, Bishop Pendle. is the
equal of Trolope's best bishop. The Rev.
erend Mr. Cargrim. the Bishops poor but
most unworthy protege and chaplain, is
a meaner Uriah Heep. Mrs. Pansey is
the embodiment of all shrewdness, and
yields almost unlimited amusement. Mr..
Humes Gypsies are genuine-such as
George Borrow would have made them
not the ignorant caricature so often por-
trayed by writer's too lazy to study their
subject.
The story is rich in all the elements of
worthy fiction--in Characterization, ex
citing adventure, suggestions of the mar
velous, wit, humor, pathos, and Just
enough of tragedy to make it dramatic.

1t is much when book of fiction is
wholesome in its moral Tone it is more
when, added to this, the author has the
happy art of arranging the material of
his story in DrOner Sanuanoa ond of toll
ing it in literary forms that are clear
terse and impressive. All these desir-
able qualities appear in Mr.. Marchmonts

that some of the manipulators there
actually have the notion that they do
control the Black Hills. They will
find things changed this year, and even
though the republicans of Lawrence
county may be SO unfortunate as to be
controlled by some fthe manipulators
of Deadwood, the other counties of the
Hills propose to assert their indcpend-
ence and do what they think is for
the best interests of the Black Hills
and the republican party-just as
indicated by the county conventions
of Meade and Fall River counties last
Saturday.
Judge Moody's old-time friends can
scarcely believe that he understands
the situation in the Black Hills or in
the state or he would not permit the
use of his name as a candidate for U.
S. senator. 1t is not believed by those
outside of Lawrence county who are
in position to,,know, that Judge Moody's
name is being used by certain of Law
renee county's leaders in honor and to
the credit Of Judge Moody but merely
hoping to accomplish the defeat of Mr..
Martin, and for their own political
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. We believe that by
the time the state convention is held
Judge Moody will find that statement
true-he will at least before he ever
gets any votes for U. S. senator. They
don't want Moody, only temporarily.
1t will be surprising to his old friends
if he permits his former enemies to
thus dupe him and use him. They
know very we'll that Judge Moody can
never be senator; they know that the
Black Hills counties are agreed and
united in favor of having a
Black Hills congressman and in favor
of Mr.. Gamble for the senate. That is
the only wise political course to pur-
lie. 1t is the only course by which
the Black Hills may secure represent
alton in congress. For that reason the
Black Hills counties are united upon
such a course, and there would be no
division of sentiment in Lawrence
county were it not for the inordinate
personal jealousy and ambition of
some of Deadwood's citizens.
The republicans of Lawrence county
could not more certainly aid i'll pre-
venting the Black Hills from having
any representative in congress than
by seeking to induce Judge Moody to
become an active candidate for U. S.
senator. We cannot believe the sin
cere and earnest republicans from
among the masses will be Il party to
such "a purpose.
