The Castaway; an Unusual
Novel by Halle Erminie Rives

done! | cannot and will not give the lie TO
my doubts, come what may "
This passage sets forth the relations be-
tween the husband and wife they begin
and continue. The episode of the poets
career, in which the Countess GuiccOli
figures, the novelist portrays a situa-
ton that was justified by circumstances.
In her he found the mate his spirit had
missed when he chose Lady Millbank as
his wife. Practically driven from his own
country. a 'castaway" as he chose to re-
gard himself, he found the countess the
unloved wife of cruel old man, and they
turned to each other in their loneliness and
distress by irresisIible impulse. The
countess is pictured as all that is pure and
lovely and as the one creature in Bryons
life who made existence endurable for him.
The novelist has made her hero's cause
her own and puts enthusiasm and earnest
ness into her work Whether she succeeds
in changing the popular idea of the poet
or not she has at least presented a pOr-
trait whose qualities will attract attention
and perhaps arouse criticism and contro-
versy. She keeps closely to the admitted
facts of his history and gives fiction no
license except in her estimate of his char
acter and in her explanation and juStifica-
ton of his acts. Her style is florid and she
is given to fine writing" but perhaps her
theme excuses this, Byron being a man TO
whom decorative literature naturally at
taches itself.
Apart from the purpose of the book as
an effort to clear the reputation of a man
she considers wronged, the author has sue
ceeded in producing a story of interest in
itself. The events of Byron's life lend
themselves well to dramatic fiction and
considered merely as novel. with the
take an honorable place. 1t is altogether
the most ambitious and cFeditable piece of
work the author has done.
The volume is handsomely printed by
the Bobbs- Merrill Company. and is illus
trated in color after drawings by Howard
Chandler Christy. His portrait of the
Countess Guiccoi forms a part of the
cover design

On the topmost story of the skyscraper,

III
Kah H. 1. c. NJ, vice commits
i&s5l5ss3I sioner to the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition at St. Louis. and the
members of his family residing in this city.
The present visit of the prince imperial.
under the guidance of Mr.. Wong. has nat
urally brought his family into considerable
prominence. and, the reproduction of the
hands of Madame Wong and her two sons,
Vanloong. aged fifteen years, and Dede,
aged six. with a brief sketch of some of
their characteristics would be of more
than passing interest.
In Madame Wongs hand we see the
comic type. with the firm palm, represent
ing the activity that is limited only by
opportunity. The love of luxury and ease
is indicated by the palm, with a mental
rather than physical activity. The long
first finger. expressive of executive ability.
coupled with the length and shape of the
fourth. indicates that tact in the manage
ment of matters that enables her to plan
successfully for others to execute. The
second finger in shape shows an optimistic
temperament with quickness OF percep-
ton that enables her to see both the lights
and shadows of life. The long first pha-
lange of this finger, coupled with the
dropping head line. shows a tendency to-
wards that belief whose watchword is
''Kismet' The third finger. coupled with
the double jointed thumb, and the length
and flare of the fourth finger from the
hand shows the artistic nature that would
turn TO the lighter side of the drama the
love of music, poetry, brilliancy. rhythmic
motfon the art that appeals to both the
eye and the ear. The fleXibility of the first
join; OF the thumb shows suavity and
adaptability with people. while the length
or the first and second Dhalange shows
will and logic pretty evenly developed
In Vanloong Wong's hand. the develop
ment of the lower palm shows "A decided
love for melody. harmony musical taste
The width under the fingers shows the
liking for outdoor life. while the firnness
OF the palm would indicate the desire to
enter actively into athletic sports rather
than be a spectator. The length of the
first finger shows a tendency 10 shrink
from responsibilities. but the long first
phalange of the thumb shows that strength
of will that where duty compelled he
would be loyal and faithful to the trust
imposed In him. The shape of the. second
finger shows the nature that is prone to
look too seriously on life, taking his
pleasures soberly-" The third finger lean
ing towards the second shows that in
artistic things his tastes would lead him
in somewhat somber paths. In music.
for instance his tastes would not be so
much i'm light tripping measures as i'm the
stately somber tones of passion and sor-
row. "Ragtime' would not appeal TO him.
but Chopin 50 Funeral March would. The
stiffness of the thumb shows the nature
that does not adapt itself readily TO all
sorts and conditions OF people,. waiting
for advances from others. rather than TAX
ing the initiative. Where the confidence
Is once gained. he is exceedingly loyal.
In Dede's hand. the baby and pet of the
household, is shown combination of the
brilliant traits OF both father, and mother.

Only a short time ago much fine timber

the lumber company once endeavored 10
give this away. but the citizens OF Jasper
could make no impression upon the pile
and il accumulated so rapidly that IL was
necessary TO burn il. One OF the members
of the company states that for long time
they burned up one hundred cords or good
hard wood every month. Some market
has now been found and not so much IS
destroyed as formerly.

The people of Jasper are amiable and in

German thrift are everywhere apparent.
No idleness is noticeable by the visitor,
and the wage Garner small salary

and has something saved for a rainy day.
No evidence of race suicide is TO be seem,
1t is a community of large families. Five
and six children are the average in city
and country and families of ten and
twelve members are common.
The citizens of the community do not
mind work and labor saving devices do
not appeal to them. Their drinking water
is obtained from open wells by means of
bucket and windlass. Sometimes bucket
with rope attached is sufficient. occasion
ally a patent windlass is TO be seen, but
the pump is not much thought of. Wis
