a GREAT TRACER,

The Tracer of Lost Persons-By r. W.
Chambers Published by d. Appleton
and Company.
Mr.. Chambers is m acknowledged
master of story telling. When ono
reads q story written by him. he al
ways reads something worth while,
This is n series of stories in fact, al
though all are Joined together In way
that Is quite agreeable, The first story
is one of young man, Mr.. Gatewood.
who was taken In hand by his friend,
Mr. Kerns. and told fatty that he was
wasting his time and his life was get
ting TO be a morose misanthrope ana
OF no account to himself or to the
world. Kerns told him that what he
wanted was a wife. Gatewood rather
wished he had wife, but did not know
how to so about getting one. kerns re-
fcrred him to this tracer OF lost per
sons. Gatewood went to Keen. who
was this tracer, told him what kind of
a wife he wanted; described an angelic
parsonage that he had no Idea could be
found, but Keen promptly responded,
Gatewood got the girl, and everything
was comfortable and happy kerns was
delighted. and a once took In hand
Capt Harren of the Philippine scouts.
who had been for many years chasing
a lovely phantom of his brain without
locating the same in the flesh, Harrcn,
Keen. the tracer could help him, laiu
his case before that acute gentleman.
and by the exercise OF his powers In
deciphering Solomon's seal and treating
somewhat of sub-conscioGsness and
clairvoyance, the happy result was
achieved in this case also. Then 1t
came Kerns's turn, he being the most
utterly skeptical of any of the lot as
10 the ability of the tracer he had rec
commended. to afford him any relief.
Still. he was mated like the rest of
them. Then came the story of n great
find in Southern Morocco of living
mummy and succeeding this was tho
enthusiastic following up of an obscurs
disease by a young woman physician,
who managed to catch that disease her
self IN its worst form. The stories arc
admirably told, and the book again
demonstrates the mastery of Mr.. Grant
over his art.

NOT WORTH CURING.

In Cure OF Her Soul, by Frederic Jesup
Stimson o. 5. Of Dalc). Publshed py
y. Appleton and Company, New YORK
Mr. Stlmson is an author OF high
repute. Of great analytical keenness,
and of much artistic force. He is at
his best in this story. A young woman
Is found In the beginning of the story
TO be engaged to a clod OF a rich loVes
who does not seem 10 have struck her
fancy, nor anybody else's, Everybody
is wondering why IL was that such Il
girl could marry such stick as Pete
GanSeVoort. However, there was the
alternative, a young Fellow, AuStln
Pmckney, who had met the girl abroad.
who ADMIRED her. and who had made up
his mind that he would go TO her ana
attend TO the case of her soul by see
ing If something could not be done to
stop that marriage. He went to Phil
adelphia found her in tears, and ap-
piled the usual restorative, a long, lin
sering kiss, and left the house en-
gagged TO the girl himself. They were
married, and the GanseNoort family
were furious After the marriage
however, the young woman seemed 10
go Wild She took no count of expense,
cared but littlo for her Plnokney, ro-
fused to be restrained In her society
dissipations, got into a bad set and
veXed the heart of clear-headed old
Major Brandon, who was a dear friend
a friend to her. The estrangement be-
tween Plnckney and his wife wldened,
and then Plnckney came across the girl
of his life In @ good deal OF juggling
back and forth he gets to understand
that lie, while still = married man, is
deeply in love with this girl, and she
seems TO be with him, although she is
of the most rigid uprightness in
thought. conduct and habit. The love
affair between Pinckney and this young
woman IS long drawn out and forms
a large part of the book. II leads
eventually to her death, without their
having made any declaration of their
love- and without the usual divorce
which one would naturally expect un-
der such circumstances. In the mean
time, however, this girl has met Pinck-
ney'S wife and has partly redeemed
her. The care of the wife for young
sister who has married prohigate
prince abroad and who was going the
PAGES also helps with the responsibility
involved, TO bring the wife TO her
senses. Very little occurs after that.
and we are left much In the dark
whether il was really worth while To
care about that wife,s soul. The aphOr-
ism which Major Brandon announced
early in the book to Pinckney where
he said, Young man. one lesson
learned In early life, was never TO trou-
BILE oneself about young women's
souls" appears to have been the doc
trine best fitted to this case, 1t would
have been far better for Pinckney II he
had never cared in the least about the
young woman's soul. and would prob
ably have been quite as well for the
young woman herself That appears
10 be one lesson of the book. and an
other is that the evil that wicked peo~
pie do very seldom measures up TO the
mischief that good people do in their
attempts TO rectify the wrong conduct
OF the wicked.

HE DOUBTS THE POLE.

Tho Phantom of the Poles BY William
Reed Published by Walter S. Rockey
Co. New York
This is a work which discusses the var
ious Arctic and Antarctic explorations.
giving liberal quotations from the pub
llShed accounts and diaries OF the differ
cnt explorers, The theory OF the author Is
that there is no such thing as a North
or South Pole, his Idea being a sort or
revival OF the old Semmes Hole theory;
that Is that the earth falls away, leaving
an immense cavity at each pole, and tnat
the water circulates in and out of that
according to q law not explained His
Idea Is that the Interior OF the earth Is
inhabited. showing vast continents. and
containing q tceming population He is
so cock sure of all this that one naturally
wonders where his confidence comes from.
Certainly II he has the right of 1t he
would be valuable man for Peary to take
on his next exploration, Or, Mr. Well
man might take him in his airship and
when they come above the hole drop
more of him and his theory. and that
would be an advantage all around, But
on the other hand, If he should be any
means drop so as 10 get Inside that inner
world, and ever get out again TO tell us
about II, we would have something far
more entertaining and instructive than
anything that Is contained in this or any
other book on the poles. The fact is
that all such Speculations are mere i'm
aginings, and arc entirely outside OF the
domain OF any scientific inquiry with re-
gard TO what is or is not TO be found at
the poles. There is no law against fer
mulatng and writing such spcculations,
nor of putting thcm forth TO the public.
Sometimes we wish there were.

COLONIAL STORIES.

In Olde Connecticut; Being Record of
Quaint. Curious and Romantic Happen
ings In Colonie Times and Later. By
Charles Burr Todd. The Grafton Press,
publishers, New York.
This Is a book of real merit and in
terest. 1t goes into the old Colonial
records and tells of the Historic Burr
Mansion at Fairfield: Burning OF
Fairfield by the British, 'Whaleboat
Prvateersmen of the Revolution; :;
"Saybrooke and Guilford"; Killings
worth and Its Birds; New London,
an Old Time Seaport; "Groton and
Mystic; Fishers Island; the Frogs
of Windham'; Lebanon, the Home OF
Jonathan Trumbull"; Mount Tom, a
Haunted HIP: "a Revolutionary New
gate; "Connecticuts Declaration OF
Independence; Ancient Litchf1eld';
Mining in Connecticut; "The Pequot
Indians; "Greenheld Hill, a Once Fa-
NOUS Village" THE Beginning of a
Great Railroad: THE Probate Judge
and the Town Clerk
Some OF those stories are quite un-
known to the usual history, and all OF
them are of very great interest. The
working of the old copper mine there is
shown to have been on such an extern
sive scale as to be a surprise 10 every
one who reads II. No less surprising
Is the use Of that mine as a prison dur
ing Revolutionary times. The mining
deposits of Connecticut in their va
riety and extent are little understood
by those who have not had to do
with them. but this book shows them TO
be Of much Importance. Earthquake
shocks which were continuous for so
many years at Mount Tom are cx-
planned on a scientific basis. There is.
indeed. very much Of personal and gen
eral interest in the parrations OF this
book, and the relations between the old
time probate judge and the town clerk
are set forth in a most happy manner.
The book altogether. is one that is
eminently worth while to read
