"He was happy because he was too busy to

cess which he had created for himself, alb
sorbed all other sentiment. He demanded it
of others vigorously. He could do no less
than demand it of himself. 1t had become
practically one OF his tenets of belief. The
chief end of any man, as he saw it, was to
do we'll and successfully what his life found

Many Waters. By Robert Shackleton New
York: D. Appleton & Co. Price, $1.25.
John Shotterly, the hero of this book, was
a New York newspaper man on big daily
and there is much about the details of a re-
porter's life in the big city which is familiar
to newspaper men, but the story relates to the
romance of that life, it's joys, hardships and
tragedies. The career of Shotterly, popular
newspaper man, we'll paid but always hard
up, and with beautiful, but disconnected
wife, who is always prodding him to do
something to get money, is very interestingly
described. His friend Hartford, also news
paper man, figures conspicuously in the story
with a love affair which terminated we'll and
was not quenched by MANY Waters The
strength of the story is given to the descrip-
tion of stock speculation in New York and
debauched Shotterly's beautiful wife, soon
after which Shotterly himself, his spirit
grievously wounded, goes down to his death,
and the tragedy of his life is ended. The
story is we'll written and contains some very
thrilling passages.
