The author has story to tell and tells
it well. She is SO familiar with the at
mosphere of the place and the time of the
tale and puts SO much of it into her work
that the reader has no difficulty in believ-
ing that he is reading fact instead Of fic-
ton, and, what is more, that he is much
nearer the incidents than he really is.
The authors style is unusual. 1t abounds
in the antithetical, in quick contrasts, in
the unexpected in the use Of words, and
is marked for the shortness of its SEN
fences. The last named popularity gives
StaccatO effect that at times becomes
almost t1reSCme. But short sentences are
not to be condemned too severely when the
tendency is so much the other way.
One of the incidents Of the story is
duel with lassoes between rivals for tho
same maiden's hand. The author tells it
thus: =
p ':Come on, NIascado come" cried Isdro
Mascado came; riding at full gallop he threw
the rope, dipped as he rode and slipped from
his horses back to the belly. Escobars moose
slipped smoothly from his shoulder; in fact.
neither rope found lodgment. The sod of the
meadow was wet and spripgy; it gave to the
horses feet; not the best ground for trying a
duello of riatas. but there advantage to
neither side. They wheeled, recoiled and rode.
At the second cast Isidros rope went neither
far nor wide, but there was threatening in its
hum. He bent backward as he threw; to Ar
3,
off his horse to avoid thec flying loop that HOY
cred moment and settled Oh the horn of his
saddle. 1t appeared that was the moment Isidro
waited for; without casting off, he stood with
his horse at tension, and his rope, which had
gone but moose, 3lengtht from him, shot out
from his long right ARM dropped over AIascado
and with Jerk ESeebas had him from his
saddleless pony. The mesttzo had, his feet I'M
der him in the moment Of lighting; if Isidro
drew in fast. Mascago came faster. One arm
was pinioned, but thc other was free from
the shoulder he. had out his knife. He came
in great bounds like cat, rising from the
springy meadow; rage foamed in him like I'M
bridled waters. His own horse, with feet spread
and planted. held Escobar at the end of a
taut rope. Isidro fumbled at it to cast it off,
but not before Mascado got in blow above
the shoulder. Isidro set spurs and set them
deep with the impact of the knife. The mes
tho had moment of check the horse sprang
away from him, but the tug of the rope. brought
him sprawling. His body rose in the air, thud-
ded the sod, rose again; and the knife,
struck from his hand, whirled cleaning fight
across the meadow. = 80
Despite the distance Of the events in
time and place and despite differences of
race, the romance is a pleasing one, and
being told with force and skill, is, as
already stated, one of the most entertain
ing Of the spring.

THE MAGAZINES

Is Man the End of Evolution ?--Samuel
w. Willston, professor Of Paleontology in
the University of Chicago, in The lnde-
pendent for May 25 discusses the above
question, reaching the following conclu-
sions: .a
So far as these speculations deal with the
past they may have value; so far as they deal
with the future they are hardly worth while,
not at all worth while, were it not that such
speculations to the future destinies of our
kind are closely interviewer with present and
earnest beliefs.
And furthermore. even these speculations.
tenuous they are. may be vitiated by the
existence of higher power. Is there such?
know not. have only faith and hope.

MOTHER FAN HER YOUNG.-William
Lowell Finley, the new :naturalist-photo-
grapher, writes Of a hunmingbird family
as follows in The Country Calendar for
June, the new outdoor magazine published
by the Review Of Reviews Book company:
While the nestlings We're very young the
mother never left them alone long at time.
If the day was warm, If the sun shone on the
nest the mother lowered over with wings
and tail spread wide. When it was hottest,
have seen the mother sit forward on the
nest edge spread her tail till she showed the
white tips of her feathers and keep up a con-
slant quivering, tanning motion with her wings
and tail to give protection to the frail midgets

Riiou-"Vivian's Panas.V

DlJOu VIVIAN S PapaS,'
Leo Ditrichstein's gingery farce, with
its tenderloin atmosphere and it's gay
effervescence, has returned for a brief
Minneapolis season, bringing a new star
in the comedy person of Caroline Hull,
who frolics thru the slzit where Blanche
Ring erstwhile did romp. Miss Hull is
busy most of the time persuading the
audience it is having a good time, and
succeeds reasonably we'll in her task.
She sings well and with a better selection
of songs would make a decisive hit.
James Bovine, who replaces Harry Conor
as Walker, is clever actor and makes a
good impression. The inimitable Thomas
Burns still impersonates Farnhams and
furnishes a decidedly individual charac-
terization The other members of the
company are entirely equal to the laugh
making tasks imposed on them and the
show goes with the dash that is essential
in such evanescent production. The
putative paternal ancestors of the frisky,
albeit quite proper Vivian, seem destined
to add to the joy of the community all
the week. 'E-- Fl

The Torpedo's Part.

Rojestvensky defeat, tho he had
on paper quite the stronger fleet, is due
to two things, the superior marksman-
ship Of Nippon s gunners and the in
trepidity of the Japanese torpedo fleet.
Togo seems to have begun the fight in
the straits, as he did at Port Arthur,
with a furious torpedo attack at night
fall. These wasps of the sea, swarming
out at a signal from the commander,
stung the enemy into confusion and
madness. They were no doubt received
with a perfect hail Of iron, which sent
many to the bottom before they had
launched a torpedo, but the remnant
pressed on and, once within striking
distance, worked havoc in the Russian
formation. Then came the main attack
from the battleships. ..
Many a gallant seaman has gone
down in this torpedo attack, for the
man who is on board one of these frail
craft when struck by a shell, is i'm
mediately with his ancestors. The dis
patches admit the loss of ten torpedo
boats-it is probably much greater
but this sacrifice has made victory
doubly sure.
Gameness has been the first element
in every Japanese success; marks1nan-
ship the second. The admiral has so
handled his five precious battleships
as to preserve them whole while in
ficting such punishment as an enemy
has not received since ironclads were
known. >- ...+,.. g. f..
