lude Of the Revolution" the author has

delicate literary morsel?
There is only one Earring note in the pure
artistry OF this production. Soon after
Pats meets the girl, he discourses on re-
ligion. He confeSses afterwards that his
desire to free the girl from the future con-
vent is responsible. but that hardly excuses
the author from putting words into his
mouth relative to bath tubs and printing
presses being an unknown quantity where
the Catholic Church is strongest.
a love story is made no better for contain
ing the personal opinions OF the writer.
TIE vigor with which the present author
defends his pet theory regarding religion Is
proof CROUCH hat he has allowed the artist
10 lose himself in venting his prejudices
against an established form of religion.
This is made the more gIaring as the de-
yelopment Of the plot depends in no manner
upon the injection OF a religious discussion
into the life OF the story. Even Father
Burke's character is not pictured with that
abandon which should influence the careful
author. The c~leverness OF the objections to
the Catholic Church is no excuse for bring
ing them forward.
Yet, after all, this Is a minor defect. The
Isle Of LOry is a most charming place. An
appreciation Of nature is shown that IS in
harmony with the natural affection which
the author shows for the two young people
who fight out Iife's chiefest battles under
the broad pines. On this island the love
story of Tast and present is idealized By
real people In a practical way that warns
the pulse of the reader. The autho has
