Through the accidental finding Of some

WarrenVille, has learned that she Is
entitled to share in an estate valued
al 100000. which has been left by her
mother, Mrs. Mary Havens. who died
In Michigan, a short time ago. For
thirty years Mrs. Van Wrinkle has not
seen her parents. and she had long ago
given them up for lost. Now. she finds
Iuat her father is still living.
" hen but a small child, she was
adopted by q family by the name Of
Campbell, living in Brooklyn, and u
promise was exacted that she should
never be told her real name or the
" whereabouts of her parents. After her
marriage to Mr. Van Wrinkle the couple
hyed in North Plainfield, and then they
moved to a small farm at Warrenviile
the wife having been bequeathed a
small sum by the Campbells.
Mrs. Van Wrinkle has been notified by
the lawyer for her mothers estate that
81, 900 now awits her. and that this IS
but an advance payment on her share
Of the estate. The papers which helped

abCuts were found by the lawyer when

with her father, and her entanglements

interest OF the story. There Is some local
color splashed on here and there, and
certain national characteristics are
clearly brought out, while the one pa
thetic chapter serves TO flavor the
gayety. The only fault which can rea-

Nancy is much too agreeable a girl TO

Four Men and a Woman.

-Four Roads to Paradise" by Maud
Wilder Goodwin, is a novel with not too
serious a purpose, and plenty of humor,
written with a cleverness which is de-
1ightful. The odd title is explained by a
quotation rom the TaImud:
-Four men entered Paradise; one be
held and died, one lost his senses, one
destroyed the young plants; one only
entered in peace"
In one Of the earlier chapters four men
define their ideas of the road 10 Para
disc" Each follows his own road. and
the story Of the progress makes the
book
No summary of plot and characters,
however, can convey a sense of the rich'
fresh. dainty charm of the story. 1t is
not startling in its originality, epoch
making in its newness; but it is very
original, nevertheless. The heroine is
charming, and the hero delightful, and
it is all done without any obvious e.
fort or fuss. It is the story for hoh-
day. or for holiday hour.
The heroine. Anne Blythe, widow OF a
scampish, rich man, has one uncle who
is a bishop-why are all the bishops IN
recent fiction such lovable old fellows?-
and he defines her in a saying worth
quoting. She evidently thinks so, for
she writes to a friend:
4 must tell you of his comment on
my portrait, an etching by Rajon.
Anne he said, you have really not
much intellect or such good looks; but
the clever people think you good look
ing and the artistic people think you
clever I like my portrait because it
is a happy blend Of the two receptions.
And then she signs herself Yours
sincerely, Anne Blythe" She is a
witching. irresponsible. adorable crea-
ture. this Anne: the kind of woman
who can rise easily TO noble actions If
there is need OF nobility, but who does
not spend her life on the housetops, or
descend into the sewers. Compared
with the conscientious or complex hero
inc Of many another novel. she is a
rest and relief. So is the hero. He
is a prism who might answer the re-
quirement of the grandmother of Am
brosine. She said that the ideal mas
culine being should look like man
and behave like gentleman"
Walford, the youthful clergyman with
the actors temperament; Newton, the
scientist with a spirit of materialism
Yates, the typical New York busine IS
man, are All capitally done; so is Eunlce
Yates. the foil to Anne; so is George,
the son Of the scientist In fact, there
is not a slipshOd line in the book, or a
requisite rightness is attained without
apparent effort. The book ought to be
widely read, and from the attention il
has already excited there is every rea-
son TO suppose IL wiz be. (New York:

BOOKS AND BOOKMEN
A College Novel.

Basil King is a novelist with the
knack of being original. not In material
or IN episode, but in point o. view. In
his latest novel, THE Steps of Honor, >"
he has done his best work. The hero,
Anthony Muir, is a Harvard instructor
who writes a successful book dishonest
~. The network of falsehood in which
Muir becomes involved as a result of
this; the effect which so unpleasant a
development has upon his circle of
friends, and th1 working out of his
problem of life, are handled cleverly and
with evident conscientiOusness. The
book IS one which may well have a good
influence on anybody Influenced by it, at
all. Without condoning the sin, the au-
thor manages to lead US to sympathize
with the sinner
So honest a book deserves frank
criticism. The heroine is rather a stick:
one can see what the author meant her
to be. but he has somehow failed to
make her live. Persis Wollaston is en-
tirely satisfactory; Dunster IS rather
sketchy, and Prof Wollaston and his
wife ara--nore than satisfactory; they
are perfectly delightful. These two ell
derby, quaint, archaic. aTtistically con-
trasting people are the best character
best the author has ever done. The
bird-like fitting of Mrs. Professor round
the campus to walk home with ner crab
bed old loVer-husband. both transpar-
emily pretending that the meeting is ac-
cidental, is one of the sweetest and fun
niest of character-tOuches Another
clever bit of work is the Professor s
valiant demonstration of his tact in APP
preaching a delicate subject; in TACT, the
Wollastons are perfect and might well
have the book TO themselves.
1t is rather a pity that Mr. King
should have begun so truthful presen-
tation of Cambridge life BY saying of
his Cambridge professor.
He had an ancestress on his mother 5
side who had been burned for witch
craft at Salem, and still another on his
fathers who had been hanged on Bos-
ton Common for preaching Quakerism.
Inasmuch as no real Cambridge pro-
fessOr could possibly have had any such
ancestry. and inasmuch as accuracy
would not have interfered with pictur-
esque effect CIT seldom does. despite the
stage managersD. it does seem as II Mr..
King might have left that blemlsh out
of an otherwise truthful book. II is a
misstatement that ought to have been
picked up by the proOfreader in defaul6
of other correction. (New York: Har-

Wealth and ROy altY.

Rulers Of Kings" by Gertrude Ath-
erton. Is likely to win Its need of at
tention simply because 1t is Mrs. Ather-
tons work. for she is certain, at least
to be brilliant and entertaining. Candor
compels the admission. however. that
this is not up to her usual mark, and
falls below the standard in that most
irritating way expressed by the saying,
desire doth outrun performance" In
brief, Mrs Anterior had a very big
notion for a novel, and the result IS
an unconvincing novel 1t takes analy-
sis to see what is the matter with it,
but IL is plainly unsatisfactory
She takes the son of a multi-million-
| aire, who counts his millions by the
, hundreds, and has the boy brought up
in the backwocds, in Ignorance of his
wealth, but thoroughly trained in all
other respects Then, after the butter
! fly energies from the chrysaIis. he is
waited over TO Europe, introduced to
| Emperor William. and made to fall in
love with an archduchess of Austria
In describing the court Mrs. Atherton
has put her foot through existing facts
| and relations with much the same calm
| audaCity she showed in ripping poor
JeffersOns reputation up the back.
| The trouble with it is that she has over
done the thing: she is too audacious.
| One IS forced to remember. that it is all
make-believe. We all know that abso-
lutely unlimited power, like unlimited
wealth. is tiresome even to think Of
! One needs some. sense Of uncertainty;
| il is no more interesting to imagine
! things with absolute freedom than to
| try TO sound the ocean at a depth Of
| five or six miles The hero's four hun
dred millions and the authors freedom
with reignlng houses are alike uncon-
vincing for that reason.
In the complex character of the
arehduchess Mrs. Atherton has done some
good work. but she has depicted Just
such a contradictory creature before
and done it better. Magdalena Yorba,
the Spanish-Californian girl, with her
dignity, her rebellion, her aspirations
and her plainness, was a much more in
teresting type than the Austrian Ra-
nata, with her dignity. her rebellion.
her longings, and her beauty. She was
real.
The grave fault of the book however,
is in the first half-Mrs Atherton sell
dom fails in her climax. The reader,
knowing from the first the secret of
Fessenden Abbotts life, is kept waiting
SO long IOr ADbott's enlightenment that
ii becomes tiresoRne. The boys life. un-
/ explained, might be fascinating; as it is,
il is tedious. One feels as II the last

Short Stories.

High Noon" is a book of short stories
by Alice Brown. The title signifies that
each story deals with the crucial point
in the life Of some persons. The idea is
capital one. and some of the stories are
good-notably a Meeting in the Mar
ket Place" Natalie Blayne." and
THE Map Of the Country the
book as a whole is rather Intellectual
The author has keyed some of her work
too high, and the result is falsetto.
This result IS the more unhappy Tor
the reader because two of the earlier
books OF Miss Brown were Of quite eX-
ceptionaI charm, and one is always ex-
pecting her to repeat the achievements
of Meadow Grass and 'TiVerton
Tales" Her people are likely to be de-
lightfully real or next to impossible,
and when they take the latter complex
ion they are uninteTesting as well. Many
Of the characters in these short stories
are merely personifieo moods. and NOR
