before her author gets through with her.
Mr.. Rider Haggard tells his story wildly.
His native Africans and their fights are
picturesque; the hypnotism is not over
done. The relief Of reaching the end viii
make the reader pardon the unceremonious
dumping on the scene OF the missing lover.
There is much more excitement n cohe-
renee and go in the story than purveyors OF
adventure tales have offered III OF late.
It is not merely the hero. but the reader
who is -Blindfolded" in Mr.. Earle Ashley
Walcott's tale THE Bobbs-Merrill Company,
IndianapolisD No sooner is the young
mar landed in San Francisco than he is
tumbled from one murderous assault into
another, without knowing what it is about,
and he fills up the intervals with specula-
tons on the stock market which are equally
blind to him. The reader naturally is kept
in equal ignorance. The authors art con-
sists in striking a breathless pace that
leaves no room for reflection and keeping
this up. This he does pretty well. The
Dromio explanation at the end fitting in
with the Dromio beginning seems pretty
tame, but the painting reader will accept
any excuse that will enable him to stop
and rest.
Why Mr.. Philip verrilI Mighelsis THE
Crystal Sceptre' (Harper's, which first
appeared some years ago. should be an
nounced as "a new story for boys We
cannot make out. 1t may be a survival OF
the tradition which made oliver Twist
a proper gift for the young. The cleverness
and originality OF the book appeal to grown
I'D people, and the brutality, Of which there
is a su~perabundance in the lights between
apes and missing links, and in other Incl
dents, is certainly undesirable for youth
full readers.
The Stories and Pictures by Isaac
Loeb Perez, translated by Helena Frank
The Jewish Publication Society Of America
Philadelphia, is a book well worth reading
The author il described az the leading
writer in Yiddish. His stories are short
realistic tales Of life among the country
Jews of Russia. Their dismal misery Il
unrelieved, save by the artistic workman
shin. The wretchedness and poverty OF
these people are shown, the starvation and
oppression. so that even the readers pity
disappears in horror; but the feelings and
struggles Of the poor Jews are described %
that strangers can understand tham. II
the author has a vein OF humor II il well

Ann Boyd
By VIII N. Ha,b:n

Ann Boyd was a woman who
could do things. With all the
village "down on her," she ran
her farm single-handed, made
money, invested it, and prospered
above and beyond her envious
neighbors. But the community
had given her a bad name, and
another woman, out of jealous
spite, zealously kept alive the re-
Aections against AIMS character.
Mr.. Harden has conceived a sit
uation smoldering with possibili-
ties that quickly leap into fame
at the outset of the story. 1t is
a tale vibrant with elemental pas
sions, where good and evil rub
close together.

II Was Lady Cynth,a's slipper.

Mr.. H. r. Marriott Watson's story Of
A Midsummer Days Dream" Cd. Appleton
q CO.. begins by moonlight. Bannantyne
arrived late at Temple Park, where an out
OF door rehearsal Of S~hakespeare's play Of
slightly different name was under way,
and found the slipper Of a lady who was
bathing her feet in a waterfall, in which
he coincidently was LAYING his heated brow.
She unwittingly kicked him. The story
tells, in a manner full Of pleasantries, how
he followed up his trace of this lady and
found her to be the lovely Lady Cynthia.
He kissed her once when she was asleep
and again when she vas awake. The story
makes a pleasant comedy Of a texture
distinctly Of gossamer.

Grief, Occas,Oned by n Novelist.

Judith was so handsome, in Frances
Aymar Mathews's story of The indebted"
Harper 4 Brothers), that one of the char
scters described her as "the whole harem."
Beatrice was handsome, too, but her neck
was not just right and her feet were large.
C~onningsby, the novelist, was wonderfully
glittering and %alluring, no doubt, but he
was base metal. Judith found this out
after she had married him. II was either
just before or just after the baby died that
judith found her husband embracing
Beatrice, who had a fat a few floors further
up. We admire genius and revere the
maker Of great fiction, but il gratifed us
TO learn that Judith did not care. She
and Travers, the strong man OF Affairs,
we're particularly suited to each other.
Her feeling for this captain of industry
and his for her, are declared where it says:
The keen play OF his intellect his knowledge,
his thoroughness, all pleased her; but not
80 much as her brain, her wit, her infinite
variety fascinated him" OF course the
need was to dispose OF Con ningsby, and
this was done through the fundamentally
Of a trolley car, which smashed the cab
In which he and Beatrice were clipping.
Wh@n it vas possible for Judith and
Travers to be happy Judith sighed thai
sigh Of blessed. rapturous content which
only comes from the lips OF a woman who
is loved and who loves" She had never
loved the man whose brain conceived q
number Of the best sellers" She really
came quite unimpaired to Travers. 1t has
seemed to us that the story might have
been told with a little more lightness and
still have maintained sufficiently its serioui
and tragical quality.

The story might be called the
"story of a pure woman" jus: as

Richie remains the type Of wom-
an that men have loved always
and always will love, the type
which all good women know to
be at heart unde6led.

there was a real boy he is one,

Buchanan
Wife
D.. LII. NIL Ea.-a.

This is the story of a woman
who dared to reach out, to hold
and to claim the happiness that
was denied her by circumstance.
The story remains poised over a
daring situation until the climax
comes with a rush of surprise. A
more dramatic story, with the
outcome of a woman's fight for
love held in breathless suspense
to the very end, it would be diff
fcuIt to imagine. 1t is a striking
piece of fiction in the mastery
handling of a daring plot and in
its power to hold the readers at
tention.

Undefiled
By Francis Aynar Mathews

This novel is a serious study
Of modern New York life, dealing
with an important human prob
lem. 1t is the story of a beautiful,
clever girl who is deluded into
marriage with a successful author
and finds out too late the shallow
nature of her husband. She is a
woman's woman, and a mans
woman--the heroine Of a drama
close packed with incident, and
of ever-increasing interest.

That the world Is not entirely the sell

people in San Francisco who are moved
by altruistic emotions, is proved by the
way men are coming forward without
being asked and giving substantial
