Ballantyne.

1t is a pleasure to read a good modern
novel such as Helen Campbell has given
in "Ballantyne,' placed partly on Amer
lean and partly on British soil, instead of
another swash-buckler, so-called historical
romance with which We are deluged just
now. The Decentralization Lacy. Boston
born, Boston bred, with a distinct and life
long appreciation of her birthright and
what il involved"-her fathers death hav-
ing loosened all OBTAINING claims, goes 10
England, feeling that there she can live
an ampler, more satisfying life than in
this country. She is convinced that there
is too much sham and mockery in the
still crude atmosphere of our Republic,
and she Graves the more settled ruts of
English life. though she desires for a time
to be free from the social obligations which
she and her father embraced on their an
nual trips abroad. Here, among the more
bohemian elements. at a club meeting she
first sees John B~allantyne. He. an Amer
lean by birth. has been compelled to live
in England since early childhood because
of an invalid mother. His always pros
porous life is married to him by the mag
niied fact of his being deprived of living
the life of glorious freedom and endeavor
which he is sure all Americans can and
should enjoy. Perhaps the most interesting
character in the book is Pendleton Morris,
a fanatic, whom Ballantyne meets on the
steamer coming to America. He, Morris,
is about TO start a community up on the
Hudson and desires to enroll Ballantyne
among his followers. His intense power,
marred so often by almost feminin hys-
terra, makes the man an enigma, whose
power over his disciples seems 10 verge
on the hypnotic. The story is "A readable
one, the interest of which must not be
lessened by affording premature glimpses.
Those familiar with the authors other
stories know her simple, convincing style,
her only aim being to tell the story well
and clearly. which purpose she achieves.
