"A Courier of Fortune" by Arthur W.
Marchmont Frederick A. Stokes Com
pany.
Arthur w. Marchmont will be readily
remembered as the pleasing author of a
number of pieces of fiction which have
gained unusual popularity and favor. eThe
queens Advocate" when l was Car, i"
In the Name of a Woman" and others.
I Ills latest story, "A Courier of Fortune"
was dramatized and the leading part taken
by Ralph Stuart, to whom the present
volume is dedicated The Illustrations in
the book are from photos of those who
| took part in the play.
"A Courier of Fortune is characteris-
tic of Mr. Marchmont's usual strong work.
and is by far the best story that he has
yet written. 1t is SO cleverlys conceived and
dexterously executed that there is no need
for comment except, possibly, in one re-
gard And this 1t seems is blot that is
| present in nearly all of his work. In the
present story 1t Is unfortunate that the
young author dWells with such emphasis
| Upon the evil intentions of the Duke
toward the beautiful young heroine It is
the one wholesome feature Of the entire
| story and is SO unnecessary that it is
all the more regrettable.
The scene Is laid In old France. and the
human interest clusters around a love
story, tender and idylic, in setting of
plot and counter plot, spying and intrigue,
ever-present dangers and har-breadth es-
capes. All of which. combined with the
subordinate love affair of the really
charming little coquette, "4ucette,' makes
up dramatic presentation of life that
holds the reader with breathless interest.
The character worl. is especially strong
and Individual, while the romantic Incl
dents of the story combine to make it
an exceedingly readable and clever ere-
alton.

THE Heart of Hope" by Norval Rich
ardson. Published by Dodd, Mead & Co.
The scene of 1.-THE Heart of Hope" Is
laid in Vicksburg during its memorable
and distressing siege And the author of
the novel possesses peculiar advantages
in the telling of his tale from. the fact
that he is a native of Vicksburg. Having
access to papers relating to the city just
previous to the war and during the siege
by Grant, and in consultation with many
persons who lived through those troublous
times, Mr.. Richardson is enabled to give
his story a graphic setting. While his de-
scriptions of some of the fighting Incl
dent to the siege is vivid and grimly
realistic, yet the troublous war incidents
are only a skilfully massed background
against which the human interest of the
sorry appears all the more graphic. The
story Is naturally and easily conceived
| and devised, without any straining after
effect or presentation of theory. 1t is an
exciting and dramatic love story that is
sweet and appealing and enjoyable in Its
entirety, although there is nothing re-
markable in it's execution.

AT the Foot of the Rockies, by Carter
Goodloe. Published by Charles Scribner' s
Sons
Miss Goodloe will be remembered as the
author of several works that have enjoyed
especial favors. college Girls" with IL
Illustrations by Charles Dana Gibson, was
series of interesting sketches that pre-
sented the American Girl as a most attrac-
tive creature. Calvert of Strathmore'
is a historical novel of decided merit.
"At the Foot of the Rockies is col
lection of short stories, dealing with life
in western Canada. The scene is laid at
post of the northwest mounted police In
British Columbia, 1000 miles from civiliza-
ton. From the preface the reader infers
that the author is writing of life as she
has seen 1t, and of personages peculiar
to the picturesque wildness of that life.
The initial story Rivers Gymkhana,'
is one of the very best stories of its kind
ever written. Vivid and mastery in its
description swift and real in its action.
And all the more wonderful that it was
written by woman and a very young
writer. too All of the stories are excep-
tionally clever and interesting, and svince
throughout genuine talent in the author

taken back to jail heavily guarded, he
issued the following card which reads IN
| part:
ITO the Public: am asked my opinion
| concerning my trial and the verdict of
the Jury. Could there be but one opinionY
Could any fair-mnded man or woman OF
this state have but one? That one of the
greatest judicial farces known to history
has been enacted here in my trial under
the forms of law. no well-informed man
can doubt Innocence Is no shield with
a hundred thousand dollars and the meth :
DDS of Campbelllsm against you. The rec
titude of ones past life counts for naught.
They say Taylor was guilty because he
was at his office, and that 1 am guilty be-
cause l was away from mine. This has
been throughout a political trial for po-
litical purposes, and no greater mistake
has been made by the democratic party
since 1t robbed us of the offices to which
we were fairly elected by the people,
etc.
The author begins with the events of his
own early life and as he proceeds his
scope broadens until he writes very fully
of conditions and personages in any way
connected with the awful tragedy. There
is a frankness and openness about his
work that is very convincing, and no one
who reads all the evidence as here pro-
dueed can believe in the guilt of the
man. In the appendix are a number of
dispositions that fully bear the author out
in his assertions. especially In regard to
the incompetence of certain witnesses.
Here is published the authors address
to the jury during his third trial in Au-
gust 1903.

MY Own Story" by Caleb Powers
Published by the Bobbs-Merrill company,
my Own Story just from the press, Is
the autobiography of Caleb Powers, who
was convicted as accessory to the assas-
slnation of William Goebel, who was de-
clared governor of Kentucky. The author
is now awaiting his fourth trial in this
most remarkable case. which seems to be
dominated by a maliciousness of political
feeling beyond conception. The book Is
plain straightforward account from the
standpoint of man most interested, of
the conditions In Kentucky leading to the
ASA ssination of Goebel and of Powers
trial and conviction for completely in his
murder 1t is an unusually interesting ae-
count even to the reader unacquainted
with the political details and circum-
stances. 1t deals with the powers that be
as they affect the happiness even the
very life, of number of persons. OF
the conditions under which the book was
written the author writes:
ITO those who may have expected. in
perusng these pages to find work of
some little brilllaney and color, | must
address a prayer for Indulgence while |
explain under what conditions they We're

PABST DENIES THE CHARGE
Says the Brewery Company Has No
Unlawful Connection with the
Refrigerator Transit.

Milwaukee, Nov. 14.-Colonel Gus
tav G. Pabst, president of the Pabst
Brewing company, has made a state.
ment in part as follows: amy state
ment, charge or intimatiOn that the
Pabst Brewing company is in any
manner whatever connected in a finan-
cial, business or any other way, with
the Milwaukee Refrigerator Transit
company, other than that this company
has contract with it to furnish and
transport cars for shipments by our
company, the same as it has with the
Milwaukee, Northwestern and other
railroads, for the use of refrigerator
cars, is absolutely and unqualifiedly
false"
Pabst asserts that while at one time
he was an officer and stakeholder in
the Milwaukee Refrigerator Transit
company that interest has passed from
his hands. Fred Pabst is an officer
and stakeholder in the refrigerator con-
Germ, but only as an individual.

LETS W ON THE CHAUFFEUR
President Is Mercifal and Will Have
Him Reinstated After He Had
Haen Fired.

Washington, Nov. IA few weeks
ago Walker Eldridge, a chauffeur for
tie bureau Or STANDARDS, Was dismissed
from the government service for mis-
conduct which came under the person
al observation of President Roosevelt.
The misconduct consisted of driving
his automobile in such a manner as to
interfere with the passage along the
highway of the presidents carriage. By
direction of the president Eldridge will
be reinstated in his old position at the
end of two months from the date Of
his dismissal.
The exercise of leniency by the pres
ident was due to Eldridge's excellent
record in the Philippines, to the fact
that his father was a veteran of the
civil war and to the additional fact
that his wife is an invalid.
