HELD FOR ORDERS. &
BY Frank H. Spearman. q
Mcclure, Phillips & Coz 8

This is a collection of stories of rail-
road life, in which the author has
achieved a special kind of fame. A
number of them have passed the maya
zine test most successfully. The book
is made up Of 10 stories, each indie
pendent, but all having characters in
common, describing thrilling incidents
in the management of a mountain di-
vision in the Far West, where men of
uncommon qualities are needed to
overcome obstacles from which East
ern railroads, with their clock-like con-
ditions, are exempt.
The principal characters occupy 10
different positions in railroad life, from
the wiper to the master mec hantc.
Among them are Bucks, Shockley, Nc
Grath, McTerzi, Jimmy the Wind, and
other magazine faVorites.
Mr.. Spearman is fitted by special
knowledge of the railroad business and
of railroad men, as we'll as by natural
gifts, to tell these stories. His work is
fascinating in the extreme. 1t shows
US that new inventions and new ma
chimes in this mechanical age do not
destroy the poetry and the romance
of life. These tales are the products of
the age in which we live. They recog-
nize the class of brave, competent,
cool, resourceful men to whom a trib-
ute has long been due. They show,
too how men win their spurs in this
age of steam and electricity. The same
qualifications of faithfulness, courage
and persistency that used to make
knights out of common men now make
superintendents out of common labor
ers in the railroad business.

THE CAVALIER. &
BY George w. Gable. =
Z
(Charles Scribner's Sons.) 3

1.-THE Cavalier" is one of the great
books of the year.
If it is not the greatest book, 1t is
simply and solely because other ex-
ceedingly attractive and clever works
of fiction have been produced in the
English language. 1t is the complement
and companion of Winston Churchill's
"The Crisis" Churchill's book was
written with a Northern hero. "The
Cavalier" is a purely Southern story
during the Rebellion. The hero is a
young Confederate of good education
and social standing. He pursues a
scouts hazardous life in Mississippi
during the last few years of the Civil
War.
The book is strong and effective be-
cause it is so simple and human in
its methods and its heart interest.
The story is told in the first person by
Richard Smith, the hero, while his
character is modestly revealed in the
course of the narrative. 1t is of the
greatest value as a picture of the life
and motives of the young Confederate.
The story centres about the young wo-
man, Charlotte Oliver who aids the
Confederate forces by spying inside the
Federal lines.
She had married Oliver, who, after a
few hours of married life, she found to
be a worthless scamp. She keeps him
at a distance while pursuing her hazar-
dous occupation in the Confederate
cause.
Lieutenant Ferry, the commander of
the Federal scouts in this Vicinity, falls
in love with Charlotte, but his lips
are sealed on account of the marriage.
Smith himself has an affair of the
heart which turns out successfully.
After several false alarms, Oliver is
finally shot and killed and Ferry wins
his bride.
This is a story of warfare, blood
and crime, realistically told, however
Danger and excitement enliven every
page of the book. The horror and bru-
tally of war are exposed so skilfully
that neither Confederate nor Federal
could take offense at the story.
This book should capture the South

THE DEATH OF THE I
: GODS. 4
By Dmitri Merejkowski. I
C. P. Putnam's sons.)

This is a masterpiece of a great Rus
sian author. His fame is new, but his
work is of transcendant interest to
the world. In whatever language this
story first appeared, it's interest is as
wide as the world.
The gods to which the title refers are
the ancient Roman deities that held
sway up to the time that the decay
ing Roman Empire finally became
Christian in name.
The time of this story was that of
the Emperor Julian. The book reeks
with the vices of the age. 1t is cruel
and bloody story, but it reflects his
tory. 1t is strong, vivid and impress
sive. The novels own religious doc
trine seems to be that both the Pagan
and Christian elements in our nature,
although distinct elements, are equally
sacred. His teaching is that the soul
and senses have equal right to be re-
spected, the really full man, the perfect
man, is he who can ally in harmonious
equilibrium the cult of Dionyssius and
the cult of Christ. The utterances la
ter explain that Merejkowski conceives
that European civilization has been
born of the terrible conflict between
these two main ideas, that he has en-
bodied this conflict in three great his
torical romances.
Inc great intellectual interest IN the
story is before us as lively and real
as before Julian, but we have the add
ed interest in this story of the Won
derfully rich scenes and characters
presented by the author All the scenes
are presented with as skilful hand as
that of Sienkiewicz in Quo Vadis."
The other two books are THE Resur-
rection of the Gods" Of which Leonar-
do da Vinci is the hero; and the ANTI
Christ" portraying the savage figure OF
Peter the Great, the creator of St. Pc
tersburg and of modern Russia.
The books that have had the strong
est influence upon religious thought
and people have been novels. Though
this is a higher type than Robert
Elsmere" and John Ward, Preacher, "
it must stir religious sentiment and
must leave a lasting impression upon
its readers.

The subject of this book is one of
intensely human interest and the au-
thors are both eminent men, exper-
fenced and capable.
Leroy Milton Yale was formerly lee
turer on the diseases of children at
Bellevue Hospital Medical College, New
York, and Gustav Pollak is the edi-
tor of that popular little magazine,
"Babyhood."
The book is divided into two parts. Part
1 is on the general care of children,
including chapters on the preparation
for motherhood Especially good are
the chapters on feeding. Not only the
infants diet is outlined, but also that
of older children. This branch of
nursery government is often misman-
aged, many times through ignorance,
and the information will be a great
help to mothers. Other chapters are
THE New Baby" Dress and Cloth
ing" 1.-THE Evidences of Illness" etc.
Part II consists of questions and an
swers covering all possible perplexi-
ties of daily nursery life. These are
the questions actually put by mothers
to the editors of "Babyhood," with their
answers systematically arranged
and readily accessible.

WHEN THE LAND WAS 4
YOUNG.
By. Lafayette McLass. 1
(Lothrop Publishing 1
Company 1

This is a stirring tale of colonial life
1t bristles with adventure. The HUI
guenots of South Carolina, hated by
the Spanish Catholics, and misunder-
stood by the English Protestants and
Puritans, furnish the material for this
story. One of these, a beauty of King
Louis court. comes from France to
live ON her fathers plantation in
Charleston. Her name is Antoinette
Huguenin
Captain Jack Middleton, who falls in
love with her, is the other important
character of the story. although the
historical figure of Sir Henry Morgan,
half pirate and half royal governor,
is also conspicuous. The charming
French maiden who was the heroine
has a ready tongue and extraordinary
charms which make her one of the most
notable figures of modern fiction. The
character of the hero is sharply drawn
and is very attractive.
1t is a dramatic story with a most
picturesque environment The story
passes from one adventure TO another
until it reaches a wonderfully clever
climax.

SEEN IN GERMANY.
BY Ray Stannard Baker.
(McClure, Phillips & Coz

1t was during a recent visit to Ger
many which Mr. Baker. accompanied
by George Varian, the artist, made in
the interests Of this work that these
things were seen" Furnished with
credentials which afforded him unusual
opportunities, this popular magazine
writer employed his rare faculty as a
gatherer of interesting facts in an in
innate study of the German working
man at home and in the shop, the SOL
der on and off duty, the typical Ger
man scientist, the industries and
schools-in fact, all sides of German
life.
There are many American tourists in
Germany each year. They go through
the routine of conventional sight see
ing,-they walk "Unter den Linden, "
ride about a little, visit the art gal
leries, the parks and the breweries, and
then whirl away to other fields. In
Seen in Germany" the author has en-
deavored to tell the things which the
untraveled cannot know and those who
travel do not see. In this mission the
text Is materially assisted by reproduc-
lions from many photographs and by
the sketches by George Varian made
from studies on the ground.

While Washingtons Revolutionary
career has been employed in all pos

story something of Washington's
youthful experience as surveyor.
leading on to the French and Indian
hostilities, and the always thrilling
Braddock defeat. The hero, David
Morris is the son of a Virginia pioneer
several years younger than Washing

Quainted as well as with Captain Law
renee Washington, the elder brother of
the future President. and with Lord
Fairfax, the intimate friend Of the
Washington family. The boys will be
delighted to follow Mr.. Stratemeyer to

being unworked. There Is plenty Of
military experience and adventure. but
the story is not all of war. Pictures Of
pioneer life are given; scenes with
friendly Indians. and Old-tin1e games.
This book will doubtless be the boys

THE MINISTRY OF COM
FORT.
By Rev. ]. R. Miller, D. D.
(Thomas Y. Crowen & Coz

Consciousness of immortality is a
mighty motive in life. If we think only
of what lies in the little dusty circle
about our feet we miss the glory for
which we were made. But if we realize
even dimly the fact that we are immor-
tai, a new meaning is given to every
joy of our life, to every hope of our
heart, to every work of our hands"
Thus begins DR.. Miller in the latest of
his always helpful, inspiring books. He
rarely speaks unless he has message;
and this time his message is one of
comfort-not that comfort based upon
the petty things of life. but one which
strikes out with larger sweep to the
very limits of Immortality.
Merely to quote a few of the % chap
ter heads will indicate the trend of
this book: "Glimpses of Immortality"
why Trouble Comes" Love in TAX
ing Away" Trouble as a Trust" THE
Effacement of Self" 1.-The Habit of
Happiness" Both subject-matter and
method of treatment will be appreciat-
ed by all who are disposed to look
sanely upon trouble, in whatever guise
it may come.
The volume contains 300 pages, with
Illuminated chapter initials and priory
text-heads.

"Her Grace's Secret" is a romance of
English high life. 1t has an unpromis-
ing beginning, because one naturally
expects it to fall in the old groove in
which so many of the English stories
are cast 1t is unfortunate in having
to deal so much with dukes and lords,
who are so tiresome and commonplace
as a rule, but the plot itself redeems
the story.
The Duke of Glenroy had an only
unmarried son who had become en-
gagged to widow 10 years his senior.
The duke was anxious to have his son
make an entirely different match. He
objected to the widow because of her
rank, but finding that she fully intend
ed to marry the son to whom she was
engaged, finally offers to marry her
himself. The son makes the usual
fool of himself but finally enters into
the alliance that his father prescribes.
Of course the marriage was unhappy
and the dukes son dies, childless and
in disgrace.
Then the secret came out. 1t seems
that the now full-grown son Of the
duchess was really the illegitimate son
of the duke. The one man whom the
duchess had ever cared for during her
life was the duke himself, though he
had finally married her, not knowing
that she was the same woman whom he
had known earlier in life. The old
duke, therefore, owing to what he sup
posed to be self-sacrifice, to save his
son from an unfortunate marriage, &C
tually finds new son and brings to
his old age the unexpected companion
ship of handsome and agreeable wo-
man.
The widow of the unfortunate son OF
the duke is finally united with the man
she really loves
The book is by no means dull. There
is an attractive element of suspense
and mystery about it. AS far as the
book has moral tone worth discussing
it reflects most harshly upon the hab-
its of the duke and the aristocrats and
some of the other titled personages OF
the book.

WAR AND CIVILIZATION.
BY William p. Trent.



This attractive little book is made
up Of two addresses, WAR and Civil
ization" and "Cosmopolitanism and
Partisanship." They are here col
lected in the hope that they may
win adherents to ideals which, though
eternal and destined to complete
triumph In the future, are too often
forgotten, when not actually combat
ted, by the present generation.
The first paper Isl plea for arbitra
ton, for worldwide humanity and for
untrammeled ideals. "All is not right
with world that, after 10 centuries
of Christianity, finds great nations
settling disputes, often trivial, by arms
instead Of by reason" The second pa
per might be deemed corollary to the
first in that IT pleads for statesman
ship so broad as to include the prog
ress of the whole world rather than
the dominance of a nation or-still
more narrowly-of a party. The great
est, most lasting results have been
achieved by men of the most I'M
selfish ideals.
