been clew, though a dangerous one to follow,
in most cases. Yet it was the coming Of Woman
to Hearts Desire that made 1t worth the

eventually galvanized it into life again. 1t had
to do with the advent Of the Railroad, backed
by Eastern Capital. Eastern Capitals daughter

and when he refused to do the railroads dirty

is one of the kind that is told in a series OF
sem-detachcd sketches, strung together on
thread of romance When it is well done,
in the case of Owen Wisters 1.-The Virginian,'
it is very effective, otherwise it isn't. This is
another case where it is. Mr.. Hough has a
way of getting at the human nature in man

The author Of 'The Darrow Enigma has

it, because he calls it a mystery In the title,

this. Possibly the greatest mystery is how any
one could contrive such an intricate tangle Of
mysteries, going back to New-Zeaand fifty

Yet even this mystery begins to clear away
when we realize that with Mr. Severy the plot

come out right he has been compelled to
give his characters attributes and histories

to the fact that all her ministers put themselves

belief in the outrageous accusations, their hearts
must have been wrung by the suffering of peo-

themselves into serious difficulty at
North McGregor. Last Sunday even
ing they went out for lark and on

fourteen years of age whom they got
into their rooms at the Berry hotel.
Here they produced liquid refreshments
and soon the girls were under its in

an easy prey to the men, who at
tempted to accomplish their ruin. Mr..
Berry heard the disturbance and at
