The success OF Red Pottage." by
Miss Cholmondeley, continues In Amer
Tea and England. Harper q Bros. are
Issuing the book al the rate OF 800 copies
a day. II may interest some readers
Of the novel TO know that some of the
scenes depicted evidently have their
origin In Diana Tempest, a novel by the
same author published few
years ago. Here the scenes are
on smaller canvas, 20 be sure, but
the workmanship is perhaps more spon-
taneOus II almost seems as though,
while writing Diana Tempest, the au-
thor gained her first inspiration for her
later novel, II not its actual substance.
Albert Lee. the English novelist,
whose Key Of the Holy House proved
so successful, has written another strik-
Ing historical romance called THE Gen.
tleman Pensioner." which Is soon 10 be
published. The scene Of this admirable
historical romance Is laid In the tumul-
tuous England OF the sixteenth century,
at the time when the plots OF the par
tlsans OF Mary Stuart against Elizabeth
seemed TO be approaching a culmina-
ton. The hero. Queen Elizabeths con-
fidential messenger. has a trust to exc
cute which involves thrilling series or
adventures.
The death Of r. p. Blackmore, the
author Of Lorna Doone, leads the New
York Tribune TO say Of him and Of his
work:
Like Waller whose Go, Lovely
Rosel" Is remembered, while all else
that he did Is left practically unread;
like the marquis Of Montrose. whose
matchless lyric MY Dear and only
Love" Is his one imperishable monu-
ment. Blackm0re was the author OF
many things and ~ one masterpiece.
He wrote well I'm Sprlnghaven In Dari-
81. In Perlycross, In Mary Anerley, ana
IN many other novels, but he wrote con-
summately In Lorna poone. IL seems
almost incredible that that beautiful
book should have appeared only thirty
years ago. for Il has become an integral
part OF English literature, wearing that
apeless aspect which we associate only
with the incontestable classics, Within
It's pages perfect English style fuses
together all the elements OF great ro-
nance.
Humor. sympathy. tenderness, were
all his. These qualities, touched by the
light OF genius In his single great BOOK
were constantly displayed In the man.
He used to laugh over the strange trlp-
utes paid TO Lorna Doone. The name
was borrowed for ships, coaches and all
manner Of things animate and mani
mate. ooh, that book he would ex-
claim. ut Is a pity II was ever written;
II ought TO be destroyed" But there
was no real wrath behind his most
pointed utterances. He could be indig-
nant over some modern institutions.
He ahhorred the printed interview,
One Of his chief traits was "a me
hatred of humbug." But sunny dis
position was his most salient character
istic. For many years after he won his
success. and, In fact. down TO the day OF
his death, he dwelt in rural Teddingion,
happily engaged in gardening tasks, DC
voted TO trees and shrubs and flowers
The world had long since ceased 10 ea-
pect from him any writings OF serious
moment. But the world never forgo'
him. and 20 long as n feeling for pure
romance Is kept alive the world VIII
lovingly remember his name.
