enough humor just enough love interest
to make an attractive story.
Three women are each important enough

and she was determined that her daugh-
ter, Laura, a reserved, but really beauti-
full girl, should make marriage happier
which always won for her whatever she
wished, and she never doubted but that
her daughter would not only obey her, but
that she would wish to marry whomsoever
all arranged In her mind that Laura
should marry a Sir Robert Martinmas

old, just the man to make, her happy

daughter. But it was too late. Already
the, girl had given her heart to an archi-

to win from the young man his affection

future mother In law.
He finally decides to ask her for the

indefinite sort OF way which leads her
to think that it is her, hand he is seek

similar fashion asks her for her own hand.

thinks it is for that Of her daughter.
She makes no attempt to get Laura to

is to come to the widow for his answer
the widow comes in unheard by Laura

loving conversation. Her dreams quickly
vanish and, of course, she has to let them

understood she refuses him.
There is a very funny old maid In the
story who says a great many clever
things, among them soliloquy on tact.
She saws: Tact is akin to greatness. A

TO the lover of historical novels, rather
bloody and exciting, "The Holland
plot plot IS thrilling. and the e. end iS to which
the author brings his readers is entirely
unexpected. The story is laid in Hol-
land at the time of the Inquisition. A
Belle-Isle, wandering through Rrabant at
the time of the coming Of the Spaniards,
fell in with some lowly Hollanders, who
cared for his sprained ankle. They lived
in some secret underground place where
they believed themselves to be safe. The
Spanish army was led by one Gonzalvo,
who had his daughter with him disguised

Norman's love suddenly turned from love

The Life of Theodore Roosevelt, Twenty
fifth President of the United States
BY Murat Halstead. Published by the
Saalfeldr Publishing company, Chicago,
Akron Ohio and New York.
Murat Halstead writes and writes and
writes. Few topics of any nature, vari-
Gus though they be, escape that industri-
Gus pen; but partisan political themes
have chiefly engaged his attention, and
this biography of the president is par
tisan political book. In Its get-up it APP
pears like one Of the numerous cam
paign lives that Mr. Halstead has given
to the world. But 1t is probably the most
complete and therefore most valuable
record of the high apostle of strenuosity
that has thus far appeared. It contains
The full text of many Of his speeches,
descriptions of his various stumping
tours and elaborate recitals of the re-
ceptions to Prince Henry of Prussia and
other public functions graced by the
presence of the chief magistrate. Why
three pages should be devoted to a sta
tion-to- station itinerary Of the president
In New York state in 1900 1t is hard to
see. The book narrates very fully the
nresident's performances, not only as the
99f4{ciaf head Of the nation, but as author,
b11nfer and ranchman, and summarizes
his work as governor of New Yark, po-
Ice commissioner. civil service cgmmis-
sioner. assistant secretary Of the navy
and colonel Of rough riders in the Span
3sh war. 1t is literally sprinkled with
half tones of fair quality.
