Posthumous literary work generally has a
sympathetic reading. Sometimes the au-
thor by his premature demise misses that
just reward which good work earns. as In
stance David HarTm' and its wonderful
sales.
So it is not strange that the reader ap-
proaches ''The Seal Of Silence Just issued
by the Appleton's with a kindly heart. 1t
Is the first and last work of the author,
Arthur r. Gender. a young English harris-
ter. who was resolved to seek fame and
forortune by his pen. A short preface tells
US that the author is an Oxford man and
medal winner in the literary field.
That he did careful and conscientious
work. even the careless reader will admit.
He undertook the task of writing straight
forward tale of England with spice of the
melodramatic interviewer into the fabric.
The result is a story that fascinates both
by its presentation of characters and by
the swift movements Of the plot. There is
no point in the story where the reader will
lay down the book voluntarily.
There Is a hero-for what would a novel
be without a hero? No less so. where
would the novel be without heroine? The
hero Is Wilfred Rutherford, a man with a
square Jaw who takes elemental views OF

fact.
By freak of fortune. "Curty" returns to
England after hearing the report that his
first wife is dead. His second wife had al
ready passed peacefully away. '.Curty'
finds his lawful spouse alive and ready to
claim him for husband as returned South

it is known that "Curty" had no wish to

Rutherford tries to confess but is foiled

In equality Corner one OF the new
novels issued by G. P. Putnams' Sons, New
York. the author. Mrs. c.. L. Antrobus, tells
an interesting story Of life in one of the
Midland Shires Of England. There is q
strong and dramatic plot to the story, and
its skillful working out gives occasion for
spirited action and the development of some
Quaint types of provincial character. The
authors style Is marked by keen and
true sympathy with life. a rather delicate
handling Of incident and an occasional
touch Of humor. Her powers of descrip-
ton also serve to correctly present the at
mosphere of the story's setting, and, while
there Is necessarily much that is unfamil-
lar to American readers in the scenes and
people encountered, they are Of homely
naturalness which makes them easily un-
derstood and appreciated. The subtitle Of
the book is "a Study Of Remorse," and in
the dramatic treatment Of this emotion the
author is adequately analytical.
Mature. books are having an unr,rece-
dented run this season. and among the no.
table new additions to their number is to
be mentioned Familiar Trees and Their
Leaves" by F. Schuyler Mathews. of which
the publishers are Messrs. d. Appleton &
Co., New York. This Is an Interesting, au-
thoritative and picturesque study OF most
fascinating theme. and the volume IL pre-
scented in attractive form. 1t contains
twelve full-page pictures Of representative
trees in colors. and over 200 drawings from
nature by the author. In addition to Its
charm of an easy style In description the
book Is made worthily instructive by con-
tanning the botanical name and habitant of
each tree and q record Of the precise char.
aeter and color OF its LEAKAGE. It may SAFE
ly be commended to nature lovers as Ger
tain to repay . reading.

Ex-President Harrison died at his
home in Indianapolis on Wednesday
afternoon of last week. The ex-
president will long be remembered
for his valuable services and public
virtues. He reflected honor upon
his ancestors, unique distinction
in respect Of descent, and he could
not have evinced a keener and more
intelligent sympathy with the mass
es of the people had he been a self
made man. No more genuine Amer
can, no more devoted lover Of his
countrymen, has lived in these
latter days. He was a brave man,
a good man and a patriot.
