THE SIEGE OF LADY RESOLUTE, by
Harris Dickson:
Qiarper & Brothers. For Sale by Pres
ton Rounds. Price sl.5o)
Julie. the Lady Resolute, was indeed
resolute. not 10 say contumacious and
pervcrse. The Count OF Chateaunoir loved
her dearly. yes, madly. Ard for the mat
ter OF that he was beloved OF the charm
ing Lady Resolute, They really ought to
have been welded and lived happily ever
after the first few chapters of Mr.. Dick
sons fine romance. But though such an
outcome might have saved them some
eight years OF trouble IL would have
been premature as demolishing this stir
ring story OF the brave days of Louis XIV
and the insinuating Maintenon. On the
whole, too. IL might have fared badly with
the domestic content II by any needless
act after marriage, the count had aroused
jules suspicions-for she was hard girl
to convince when she got a notion In her
head.
Early in their sweetheart days, when
Julie was held by the enemy. specifically
the youthful count. the latter betrayed
a species OF cowardice that forever damn
ed him in jules eyes. He retrieved his
good name by many gallant act and
many a deed OF devotion 10 the fair and
perverse one, and many compensating
self sacrifice. But II was all for naught.
Julie would have none of him. Neverthe-
less she could not cease TO love him--in-
explicably and greatly to her silent hu-
initiation and discomfort.
Perhaps the count failed TO go at her
in a sufficiently strenuous way. He had
a distaste for excuses and explanations on
general principles and took the evil judg-
ment OF the world, and even of Julie. with
ont complaint. But he stuck TO the task
OF securing recognition as an honest and
brave soldier and an honest suitor. And
he stuck to the still more discouraging
task of winning Julie. Both were accom-
plshed through many delightful and stir
ring pages OF adventure. Everything
came 10 him at last. honor and distinc-
ton richly deserved and--Julie. Julie
fought hard against him and herself and
came at last relunctantly. When she did
turn 20 him she expressed the astonish-
ing thought that she had an idea that
the Count OF Chateaunoir would, at last
pinch, refuse 10 let her go, even though
II would reasonably appear that nothing
short OF n troop OF armed retainers could
chain the spirited and beautiful one. Per-
haps N the count had loved her just a
trife less he would have been less con-
sideratc I'm the matter and would have
held her without waiting to be so COM
pletely Sure OF her wishes In the matter.
The reader Is likely to blame him little
for his faint heartedness because the
reader has opportunity OF discovering
more about jules heart than the un-
happy count had. But she would have
terrified any fond lover by her resoiute-
ness and the count, whose blade was ever
ready 10 draw, was fondy gingerly of
Julie. The satisfaction about II IL, TO the
reader. that she had to come 10 him at
last without being further either begged
or bullicd. And so fine story ends
finely.

A new book by that whimsical observer
OF human kind. Mr.. Stockton. is not so
common a thing as TO be taken up with
anything but the liveliest curiosity, and
his production has been so unfailingly
satisfying that anticipations are bound
TO be as confident as they are pleasurea-
BILE.
We have often wished that some capa-
BILE and sympathetic artist would produce
for US a procession OF Stockton's char
acters. after the fashion of the prints OF
the creations OF Dickens They would
be interesting for their amazing variety
as for their distinguished individuality
In Kate Bonnet" for instance there
are a number OF new acquaintances quite
different In looks and manner from any
thing that Mr.. Stockton or any other
character artist has afforded us. And
many OF them are unsurpassed for lively
interest by any OF this authors previous
creations.
Dickory Charter. for example, is a most
entertaining fellow, Perhaps he may be
set down as the hero OF kate Bonnet"
At all events the most of his curious adj
ventures are intimately associated with
her interests and I'm the end-but that
would be betraying a confidence thar TIE
reader will owe much TO us for keeping.

How desperate is his determination to

appeals of the delightful Kate. but also
TO his resistance 10 the we'll meant, IL
lugubrlous, efforts OF one Ben Greenway

Ben, Captain Bonnet remarked TO the
effect that III he were less of a Presby-

Report That Mr.. Joseph BristOw
Will Lose His AK.

Washington. Sept. st is understood
in the official circles that Mr.. Payne.
the postmaster general. proposes to reas-
sign the duties of assistant postmaster
generals. The matter has been under con-
sideratfon for some time, but no decision
had been reached by the postmaster gen.
eral when he left for his summer vaca-
ton.
According to the new plan it is proposed
a transfer the appointments of fourth
class postmasters from Mr.. Bristow to
Mr.. Wynne, the first assistant postmaster
general. 1t is claimed that the first as
siStant is the postmaster generals direct
representative and holds closer political
relations with him than is possible for
the other assistants whose duties are
largely of a routine nature.
There has been much opposition to Mr..
Bristow, the fourth assistant, from po1it-
ical sources, and it is believed that the
transfer of the postmasters to Mr.. Wynne
would remove the cause for this opposition
and leave Mr.. Bristow free to manage the
executive work of his branch of the ser
vice, in which he has been most success
full.
