We're picked up by Mr.. Mannheim at a
sale for 5000. and he was offered $50 $50
for them more than once. In fact, if
he had sold the collection in detail he

Three series of enamels in the collec-
ton cover the better part of the six
teenth century, during which time the
fame of Limoges work was at it's zenith
The secre of the manufacture seems to
have been jealously kept in these and
few other families, the last-named be-
ing the latest of the great artists.
One OF the gems of the collection is
the magnificent bas-relief on stone, ex-
ecuted in the first quarter of the six
teenth century, and representing the tri-
umph of Charles ", with an allegory on
the Virtues and Vices. The upper part
of this bas-relief shows a bridsa, in the
center Of which is erected q triumphal

Among the bronzes the most important
is fine bust of Pope Gregory XIII. It
is of the Italian school at the end of the
sixteenth century.

OF the seventeenth century.
These are but a few Of the rare and

American millionaire Secures the Famous Mannheim Colec

]. Pierpont Morgan's purchase in Paris
last month of the famous Mannheim col

says the Philadelphia Record. Other
great collectors had been nibbling for
the past couple of years at Mr. Mann

other millionaire art patrons from time

the unique stone bas-relief for which

aires" Mr. Adams has deviatad from the
beaten path in which most novelists are
content to travel, and the result of his
excursion into new realms IS an interest
ing story in which are embodied some
valuable sociological studies.
AS the title indicates, the story is that
of the kidnapping OF certain modern mill
lionaires. The abduction or trapanning
of people has been an eXpedieut of re-
venge or plumber and theme for TO
nance since the dawn of history and
literature, but those who read Mr..
Adams story VIII not charge that his
plot is borrowed The charm OF the
story consists in the impressive probabil-
ity of a plot which at first glance would
seem impossible. BY a ratuIal chain
of events there Is evolved a situation
splendid in the dramatic intensity OF its
interest.
In Two of the chapters the captured
cap ta.ists discuss the trust problem while
maIoored on Social Island" Mr..
Adams has presented new phases of this
interesting and momentous problem and
has treated it in a manner which will
attract wide a tention. He has accom-
plished the rare feat of blending highly
dramatic situations with threads OF hu-
NOR love and philosophy and has woven
the whole into u narrative OF real power
and lasting interest.

collection of poems, grave ana gay
written by Eugene Field while asso-
ciate editor of the Denver Tribune, n
1SS1-1SS3; edited and collected by Joseph
G. Brown, Denver; Tandy, Wheeler SS
Co.
Admirers of Field, and their name is
legion, VIII thank Mr.. Brown for this
compilation of the caller work of the
poet which has lain buried in dusty news
paper files for the past twenty years.
While lacking the literary finish Of his
later work, and bearing the evidences Of
having been turned out hastily, they yet
foreshadow the splendid work he did in
later years, and are full of interest as
showing the development of his genius.
The poems are full of the life OF the
West as 1t existed a decade ago, and N
them is more than foreshadowed the
tenderness and sympathy with child life
that made him their poet laureate in
later years. There is room here for but
one, though it is but an example Of
many Others equally beautiful that are
contained in the volume:

The Truant.


1t was a bright and genial day
When tempted by the open gate,
And by a little truant mate,
Our baby Willie ran away;
And prompted by each varying fear,
Impelled by Iagonized alarm
That he, perchance, might come to
We hunted for him far and near.
Yet all in vain his baby name
We called and called with no reply,
Till with the sunset in the sky,
Back to his home the baby came.
Poor, ii ed child, how glad he crept
Into his mothers arms and said:
I'm glad I'm home, les do to bed"
And oh, how peacefully he slept.
"Glad / am homer 1t is the cry
That many "a weary wanderer gives,
When, tired of the life he lives,
He turns him to the wall to die.
And as to my joyous breast
Took back my truant child that day,
So will the arms that live for aye
Receive each truant soul to rest.
