L,.i Crulse Of a SLAYER.

We sailed away with considerable in

voyage chronicled in Capt. T. jenkins
Hains's story Of The Black Barque' a..
C. Page A Co, Boston,. This IL the
story Of SLAYER that sailed for the last
time in the year 1915. John Haywood,
who purports to be the narrator, was
shanghaied aboard the Gentle Hand at
Havre he was a young American sailor
Of considerable experience, had been
man-of- vars man in the war with England,
and mate Of several merchant vessels,
and we dare say that IL he had been tee
totaler he would have regarded with saw
ing suspicion the offer Of ESQ a month to
sail as first oficsr Of the Gentle Hand
AZ Il turned out We think that he never
collected any pay from the owners Of that
craft Of facetious mans.
He entered upon a nap while still In port,
and when he awoke out at sea his first ex-
perience was licking administered to him
by the captain and the third mate. II Is
unusual for the first officer to be licked
by the third mate, and he presently found
out that his real rank aboard was to be that
Of gunner As sailors often do in such cir
cumsiances, he swallowed his resentment
and made the best Of the situation.
Heyw God speaks repeatedly Of his own
gentleness and quiet forbearance, but
that lie irony. We find him licking Bill,
the big Norwegian sailor. in the sixth chap
ter. thereby establishing himself ns cock
oi the walk in the foreoastle. Here, and
elsewhere in the story, we remark express
sions that seem 10 US TO have been a little
in advance Of the time. Haywood, who
hattled in the year 1918. records at page 50
that he "joted Bill rather roughly upon
the point Of his jaw" II Is recorded fur
Their that somebody sang out at that time
The Yank has him going This does
not sound exactly like ninety years ago.

that the record has here again advanced

happen there for aught the reader knows,
He viii only regret that Mr.. Mccarthy
inslsts on preaching a little at times.
II IL to- bad that Mr.. Joseph AltshsleT,
who has shown that he can write a story
with delicate artistic feeling should have
beensdrawn into writing a political novel
after the prevailing fashion, Il Ia hardly
a story-it Ia even less politics that he gives
us in "Ths Candidate (Hapers), but Tn
account Of the correspondents who ac-
company the candidate on his stumping
tour. The candidate, though most per-
sonal qualities are carefully rubbed out,
is pretty clearly Mr.. Bryan, with touch
here and there Of Mr.. Roosevelt. There
are some sensational Incidents which II
we are not mistaken have already done
service a. magazine stories and are Inter-
calated here with little reason, accord
ing TO another bad practice that we should
have liked to have Mr.. Altsheler avoid.
There Is plenty Of political talk, there Is
some political atmosphere, and the reader

through, The love story introduced IL

A Stirring Tale Of Romance and history.

A Stirring Tale or Romance ana HISTORY
There is an embarrassing abundance Of
incident and episode, Of romance, adventure
and history, in the new novel which Alice
MacGowan and Grace MaoGowan Cooke
have written Of the stirring times when
Ogilthorpe was Governor In the colony OF
Georgia and the war was Waged for the
gateway Of GeorgiA's sea islands. II
would seem that the Tower Of Babel had
fallen In that Southern province, where
English debtors, French Huguenots, Jews,
Quakers, Highlander and Dowlanders
sought refuge together from persecution
and injustice. and a most ungodly tongue

chronicles. With them dwelt Indians and
half-breeds, for them toiled negroes in
bondage, and against them fought the
cruel Spaniards and their treacherous
Indian allies II was a picturesque time
Of powder and patches, Of bellies in flow

Of beaux in laces and brocades.

lives lightly for a fair ladys sake.

the road again, and even to present
plays Of only medium merit, unwOr-
thy Of his gifts, to keep his head
above water. Music hall jingle and
horse play cheap but stirring meIo-
drama, and problem plays foul with
smut, had ovrrthrown in his own cap
ital the first actor Of his day.
Our own Edwin Booth, we should
all remember trod this same hard
road. After he had reached the top
with us, and was rich, he established,
and sought to maintain, Il temple
where the drama in its best estate
could he enjoyed by all who held the
playhouse in VCn"ratiOn and affection.
The structure was the finest of its
kind in New York. and beautifully
furnished. He opened ii himself, with
Il supporting company of unusual eX-
cellencc. For timc-a time all too
brief-he prospcrcd. His till was filled
every night and praise of his enter
prise and devotion to art was general
and generous.
But he could not hold the public to
his splendid endcavOr. Taste under
went a change. What has since come
to be known as the commcrcialization
of the theatre set in, and in time
Booths venture failed. The shows
triumphcd, and the temple devoted to
real dramatic art was RACED to make
room for a business block. Stripped
of his fortune, Booth. as more recent
ly Irving, had to return to the road
and resume the habits of wanderer.
He prospcrcd, of course, but never, as
his friends believed, recovered from
this blow to his professional hopes.
The subject is much discussed, and
some interesting things are said on
either side. But, however the public
may feel, it is to the glory of these
two great actors that they resisted
with all their means and influence
what they conceived to be the decay
