Ma'se Manley. an de Lawd II press yo' in de day ob de jubilee
 Mir. Maney pointed to the door.
 "Fo' de Tub ob yoah chile, yoah own chile. Ma'se?"
 Still he pointed to the door. "Go!'
 Tn old man arose Dlnah for the first time moved to the front. She stood to the right of Mir. Manley, Cupe to the left.
 "Wll yo' damn yoah own chile by stealth her name way? Bettah steal her money CT cut her froat.'
 Mir. Manley raised his clenched fist. Dog of d nigger, you lie, you lte' The negroes sprang forward simultaneous ly. Cupe wrapped his long arms around Maney. holding him tightly. Dinah jerked forth a strong strap. and before the prisoner realized what they w re about lashed his ankles together while with another strap she bound his arms to his sides. The movements ot the actors were unexpected, the strength displayed was unlocked TOT the ,Xpertness with which they did their work amazing. The prisoner be- came a prisoner without realizing the fact until he was bound. and then he instantly regained his natural calm ness.
 "You'l be fiogged in the morning un- til your back is raw. Cup,,' he quietly said.
 But Cupe before rep ying set the helpless man in his easy chair and then said: De lash am not so painful as de bran ob de fiah. Cupe kin stan dem bof.

 Then slowly. earnestly, as if uttering q sacred command, he said; 1 "Brung de o'deal bean. Dinah. bruna bof de o'deal bean"

 MT. l. Zangwill is a versatile not tc say brilliant writer, of prose. He i' never dull and never tiresome. In his i latest book The Mantle of Elijah" h. has, We believe, reached the highest | point of excellence yet attained Tn, story Is interesting from the start an( increases in fascination as one pro ceeds. once begun, one hcsitates to lay it asid,, even to sleep. There is { charm about it-the characters are SC | Hulldn anu Sb Itdl-indl ' one lprStls the passing of time, neglects other du ties and pastimes, and revels in its h autiful imagery, it's keen insight ln' to character, its subtle human and en' thralling pathos. It is a splendidlS conceived. ably written, strong, clear and enduring book.
 The plot is simple. It is. too, alto gether different from any other MT Iangwill has attempted to unfold. The accomplished daughter of an English statesman marrieS a self-mado mar of very considerable natural ability From meagrc opportunities he slowly but consistently forges career of ever increasing prominence and influence His home fife. however. is uncongenial owing chiefly to his warped and petty nature. After time along Com,s the inevitable artist friend, who enters deeply into the wife's life There arc complications that lead to some re. I, r,markable crises and end in a dramat- ic climax.
 The Mantle of Elijah" is well wortf it's price, and will well repay close stu dy. The illustrations. which are fine are the conceptions of Louis Loeb.
