"Under Mad Anthony's Banner"

The Ohio novelist, Dr. James Ball Nay Tor, comes once more to the front with another story of frontier life. This time it is a story of old Cincinnati, with stir ring events, disasters innumerable, mar row escapes. and the sharp barking of the rifle of Lew Wetzel the famous ln- dian scout and trapper. There are few picturesque characters that lived during the Indian warfare days which it would be well for some clever author to take up, as Dr. Naylor has this one, and weave around them a story which might be handed down to future generations as authentic history of the conquering of the western wilderness. Among the most eccentric of pioneer types, none perhaps excels Lew Wetzel in his indomtable courage, skill in hunting down the red barbarian and meeting savage triekery with equal cunning. pr. Naylor has made him one of the central figures in his new story, and we believe has given us true story of this hardy westerner, crude and rude in many ways, but with a great heart which made every unprotected, de- fenseless man, woman or child his par ticular charge for safe keeping against the redmen.
 This makes the fourth picture of from tier characters from the pen of Dr. Nay Tor, all of them interesting and true to history: "Old Tippecanoe. through his 'The Sign of the Prophet" Gen. Arthur St. Clair through In the Days of St. Clair" and now Gen. Wayne and the veteran Indian fighter, Lew Wetzel in his Under Mad Anthonys Banner" his lat est story.
 While fiction, pure and simple, will at all times interest certain class of readers, yet. the historical novelist Is all most certain of an audience always, es- pecially if he keeps to facts and does not overdraw We believe that Dr. Nay Tor in his historical novels has kept with in the bounds, and aside from Under Mad Anthonys Banner being an in- tensely interesting story, it has great worth as record of some of the most exciting events in the history of the northwest territory c'Under Mad An thony's Banner"-The Saalfield Publish- ing company Akron, o.

 Miss Hallocl1 has found by endless study and research that all ryththmic re- petitions of sound do follow closely the beat of the arterial life that produces them; and high up in the scale of sounds, she has discovered that he metronomic markings of musical compositions are set almost without variations to a rhythm which is contained in the scope of the human heart beat
 ''The average clock time rate in the numbers of Handels Messiah, says Miss Hallock, lis 721a beats per minute; exactly the rate of the average normal healthy pulse" And further, from the beginning of the first volume of Bee thoven's Sonatas, nineteen are set to rhythm of 72 to 76 beats to the minute, and all the rhythmic markings of these sonatas lie between 60 to 80 beats a min ate, exactly the normal pulse varied by the time of day and meals"
 The sub-conscious tuning of melody to the great scheme of nature is stupen- dous thought and one which opens up a vast field for further research.

nrhe Man in the camIet Cloak"

The Man in the Camiet Cioak.
 A good many years ago there appeared a storiette entitled "The Man Without a Country" in which the public was made familiar with the exploits of Philip Nolan. Dr. Hales story excited a good deal of discussion at that time, but 1t was left for Carlen Bateson to take up this char acter and weave around his mad-cap es- capades a bewitching romance Of the frontier, having to do with shiploads of Spanish gold, crown jewels from St. James cipher messages, royal princess incognita and "The Man in the Camlet Cloak
 The narrative is chronieled by Ezra Wilbur, frontier, editor and early settler of Marietta, told in the first person with charming simplicity Although the date of the romance is that of the Burr Elem nerhasset trouble, yet the story is not Of them. The great conspiracy, the dreams of power and empire rule, the petty machin- ations of Gen. Wilkinson, the straight forward honest policy of sturdy Gov. Tiffin, are used but as a background for the romance of "The Man in the Camlet Cloak"
 The once famous Mary Ann Clark, the pride of London and darling of Drury Lane, posing as the FoSdl 1flHceSS rspoli, wins the love of the great-hearted iron tiersman, Ezra, whose simple faith in her shines along the dark ways she leads him, making her most culpable acts look rose-colored to him. After his love "has come to naught," Ezra gives us a few pages of his life record, not sentimental or overdrawn, but such as would come from one who has lived face to face with the dead deeps of the universe, where nature is desperately immense and serious.
 The true hero is ingeniously made to tell the love story of his friend and idol Jared Dalrymple and his dainty wild rose lass. Thankful The handsome Jared irradiates the book from start to finish with his wild pranks and his genius to carry everything through with q rush before opposition can bestir itself While Ezra lauds and idealizes Jared, he un- consciously sets forth his own egregious blunders veering from the ridiculous to the tragic in his eager attempt to cap ture "The Man in Camlet," and thus save the winsome wilfu Thankful for his friend.
