The scene shifts thence to an unreal Lon

shadowy New York. In fact, inexperience
and lack of knowledge at first hand are
written large throughout the book. The
dialogue is crude and dull in the extreme.

finality. A great musical composer, of es-
tablished reputation, might with the sudden
curse of race upon him seek, on impulse,
to bury his grief and sorrow in the wilds
Of an African colony. but surely he would
think better of it in time and would hasten
to retrieve the error. In spite of It's raw
ness and ultra romantic point of view. the
story moves along with some spirit. There

A SONG OF A SINGLE NOTE.

Again Mrs. Amelia E. Barr has written a
story of New York during the revolution.
She says specifically that this is a love
story, not a tale of war, and the reader will
add that It is a truly charming one. Her
"Bow Of Orange Ribbon" Is a move not
to be excelled among its kind. AS in that
story, the heroine of this one loves and Is
loved by a young English nobleman, who is
in New York with General Clinton during
the time Of the British occupation. Maria
Semple is a beauty and more or less of
a coquette, Haunting her pretty clothes
and coquettish wiles alike on American,
Englishman and ~Scotchman. And thereby
hangs the tale. A note thrown by the Amer
lean to her is captured by the S~cotchman,
who thinks he smells a traitor, and brings
all pretty Maria's little flirtations about
her ears in a sad state of wreck; from this
the gallant Englishman, Lord Midway,
offers to disentangle her, provided she will
marry him, which she does. The story
Is too attractive to spoil by a premature
telling, and it is heartily recommended Ito
gether with the two others OF the series,
"A Bow of Orange Ribbon and The Maid
OF Maiden Lane" as a good readable, TO-
mantle love story. Published by Dodd,

A STORY BY

Those who have read Joseph Conrad's
Lord Jim,' Children of the Sea-" or that
wonderful short story, Youth" will nat
urally look for another tale of the sea
when they hear of a new book by this au-
thor. Most assuredly ~'"Typhoon." his
latest tale, is of that order. 1t is a story
Of 200 pages and all of them are required
in which to tell OF a storm in
the South seas, a tremendous storm in
which the winds and waters did their worst
for three days to Captain MacWhirr's
seaworthy steamship, the Nan-Shan, but
failed to take it to the bottom. 1t was no
skill of the simple-minded. ~ill-equipped
captain that saved it, but in the end he
got great credit. Also his method of treat
ing the Cinnamon on board was not that
of a wise man, but 1t turned out to be a
successful way. There is much in the tale
that is too technical for the unnautical per-
son to comprehend, but the rush and sweep
and terror of the gale are portrayed there
with a vividness that no one can miss, and
the reader turns the pages with a sensa-
ton of breathlessness. Surely Mr.. Con-
rad knows the sea in all its moods and
knows well how to write of 1t. ~"'Typhoon'
is a thrilling tale. G. p. Putnam's Sons,

THE INSANE ROOT.

''The Insane Root is a story written by
Mrs. Campbell Praed. and published by the
Funk & Wagnalls Company. In this ro-
nance Mrs. Praed has adopted the DR..
Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde idea of a dual exist
ence and has portrayed with considerable
strength the conflict between the two
widely differing natures of the hero. The
plot Is based on the eastern legend OF the
power of the mandrake root, which en-
ables its possessor to quit his own body
and take possession OF that OF another
mans. II one considers the novel as a
story, the machinery Of magic by which
the situation is obtained is strained and
all the incidents overdrawn. On the other
hand. considered as an allegory OF life. the
struggle is limited and insufficient, con-
fined TO but one phase OF the mans charac-
ter. The style is intense and holds the
readers attention. Some OF the scenes. es-
pecially those in Algeria, rise above the
books level. and are vivid and dramatic.
The treatment of the theme suggests Bull
wer's strange Story in its weirdness.
but differs from 1t in the authors evident

THE BANNER OF BLUE.

Mr.. S. r. Crockett. the writer
Of Scottish stories, among which 1.-The
Stickit Minister probably holds first place,
though 1.-The Black Douglas 1.-The Fire
brand" and others are equally well known,
has just written a new novel which Nc
Clure, Phillips & Co. publish. 1.-The Ban
ner Of Blue" has been truly called a mod
ern version of the story of the Prodigal
Son, with the important omission Of envy
and soreness on the part Of the stay-at-
home brother, who, on the contrary, will
ingly gives his all to pay the debts of the
elder brother, doing his best to uphold
the honor of the family. which the unjust
father considers to be altogether centered
in his heir, While his injustice to his
younger son is little short of damnable.
The Lord of Cover had two sons. Rupert
and John. Upon the elder he lavished
every atom of his affection and all of his
money, to the utter undoing of this fas-
cinating, ungrateful, handsome scamp,
while the younger son, John, by no means
behind his brother in looks, and far ahead
Of him in mind and morals, is made a sac
rihce to save Rupert. Even his patrimony.
left in his fathers trust since his mothers
death, is secretly thrown as a sop TO satisfy
the importunate demands of creditors.
Against the somber religious background
of the time of the split between church and
state in the early part Of the last century
when the Dissenters took away apart, suf-
fering hardly less for their belief and con-
victions than did the martyrs Of the Refor-
mation-amid this dark setting OF the dis
ruption period Mr.. Crockett paints the
love stories Of Kate and Fairlie Glenden-
ming in a mastery way. These two girls
so unlike, the elder apparently so firm and
stable, the younger so happily, lightsomely
gay, change places when love enters their
lives, Fairlie then becoming a very rock or
refuge and help to the unfortunate older
girl, who seems deprived of all will-power
after Rupert has stolen her heart. Fair
lie. on the other hand, is uplifted and glori-
fed by her love for John, whose suffer
ings for the sake of his little flock of fol-
lowers, after he has declared his beliefs
and convictions to be with the new faction,
and has given up the manse and the kirk
of his first pastorate. wiring her heart. The
description Of the services held by John
Glendinning, first in an old gravel pit,
forced from there to an unused quarry. and
finally driven by his relentless father rep-
~resentative of state against the new sect
to the very beach itself, gives the reader
some idea to what straits this people were
pushed to find a place to worship God &C.
cording to their consciences. There Is a
vividness Of personality, a reality, In Mr..
Crockett's characterizations not often to be
found in stories more or less numbered
with a subtle sense of humor which pleas
antly lightens the somber bigotry of such
rock-bound characters as the almost IA
netical father of the girls, David Glen
DINING, and the arrogant pride of his
cousin, Lord of Cover.

CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE.

This much-talked-of story by Mary
Adams has been already commented on
in the Journals editorial page, but it may
be added here hat those who read it when
it was running as a serial in the Century
Magazine will be ever more forcibly i'm
pressed with its hysterical quality on read
ing in the more connected book form. The
confessions are those of a woman whose
only conception of love is one
involving the selfish absorption of
the loved ones time and at
~tention; it is the love which demands from
its object constant expression; 1t is a love
entirely lacking in the spiritual quality.
Even at the last, when the wandering nus
band returns and the wife has learned to
subdue her emotions somewhat and has
discovered that life can be lived even
though Dana" is a broken reed-even then
her thoughts are of herself and her own
feelings. She poses before herself. The
character of the wife as it is drawn in
the book fairly well represents a class of
nervous, Unbalanced, self-conscious wom-
en-, but fortunately it is not typical of the
vast majority else marriage would
indeed be a failure. There is per-
haps a moral in the confessions" but 1T
is a story to ~irritate a healthy-minded
reader. The Century Company, New York.

ON O A

Here is another of those books by ex-
newspaper writer's, with which the fiction
output of 1902 so freely abounds, and its
merit is such that the reader does not
need to be told that it is not Mr.. Payne's
first work. W other books bearing the
name OF Will Payne as author have al
ready appeared, THE Story of Eva" and

subject-matter of "The Money Captain"
and this latest book ION Fortunes Road"
served an apprenticeship as financial re-
porter or editor of a modern newspaper.
This is probably true, and, If so. Mr..
Payne is to be congratulated on posses
sion of a literary style more interesting
than that usually exhibited in newspaper
accounts of financial movements. His lat
est book is a collection of short stories,
dealing with various phases of financial
life in Chicago. Each story is provided
with a good plot. a set of w~ell-executed
character sketches and a fine climax,
clothed and ornamented with excellent
English. ''In the Panic gives an admira-
BILE picture of the strenuous life about a

phere is heavily clouded. "a Day in Wheat"

tex of the trading room where fortunes

a community to see the menace of an ap-
preaching trust. reaching greedily to alb
sorb its little all-nourishing industry, Is
wildly described in 1.-The Plant at High
Grove" THE Chairman's Politics" clever
ly intermingles municipal and State politi-
cal intrigue with the soulless stratagems Of
the stock market, and, true to life. leaves
the bad man unwhipt of justice. The
author rises to his best height in the last
story. 1.-THE End of the Deal" There are
two other excellent stories in the collec-
ton, 1.-THE Salt Crowds Trade" and 1.-THE
Lame Boy" the latter. perhaps. being more
of a bit of striking character drawing than
story. All in all, ION Fortunes Road" is
of a grade of excellence to make one look
forward to the authors next work. Nc

There are novels without number dealing
with events Of the revolution, but their
scenes are laid almost without exception
either In New England-with an occasional
excursion into New York and New Jersey
or In Virginia. The Carolinas played an
important part in that momentous con-
fict between the British and the American
~colonists, but for some reason the writer's OF
