Notes.
THE Spoilers by Rex E. Beach,
published by Harper G. Brothers, has
achieved a triumphant success and
takes high rank as one of the most
original and striking books of the year.
II abounds in tense, dramatic situations
and is thrilling story Of the Klondke
told with Vigor and power. 1t is in
deed tale Of impetuous emotion, of
brute strength and courage, of swift
and passionate love and hate, a story of
that robunst land where
There is no law of God or man runs
north Of Tifty-three.
1t Is a record of primitive man done
IN primary colors. 1t is the record of a
politicians fight for an empire and his
financial, moral and physical defeat
through the desperate counter-checking
and prowess of one of those bold, once
civilized young men who are always
wronged until the last chapter The
description of the fight between the two
principals Is worth reading the whole
book for.
The hero, Glenister, displays his fierce
prowess in his first talk with the hero
inc, a spirited, beautiful, refined young
woman, intellectual and pure. Glenta-
ter has just rescued her from real
peril and having reached a place Of
safety, he describes himself to the
young woman and says to her. Il love
to wrestle with nature; to snatch and
guard. and fight for what have I've
been beyond the law for years, and J.
want to stay there, where life is just
what 1t was intended to be-a survival
Of the ffttest." AS he said this his
hands were tense and corded, and
she stood over her, tall, vfrile and mag
netic." He continued: My pleasures
are violent, and my hate is mighty bit
ter in my mouth. What | want |
take" Then something happened.
'eWhat I want-I take" he repeated,
and then suddenly he reached forth
and, taking her in his arms, crushed
her to him, kissing her softly, tiercely
full upon the lips. For an instant she
lay gasping and stunned against his
breast, then she tore her fist free and
with all her force, struck him full IN
the face.
1t was as though she beat upon
stone. With one movement he FORCED
her arm to her side, smiling into her
terrified eyes; then, holding her Ike
iron he kissed her again and again
upon the mouth, the eyes, the hair
and released her.
II am going to love you, Helen SAID
he.
"And may God strike me dead II L
ever stop hating your she cried, her
voice coming thick and hoarse with
passion.
This was the beginning of the tanning
Of Glenister by the young woman Who'
for extraordinary reasons, was SAILING
unchaperoned to Nome with him and
his mining partner.
The story is engrossing from first to
last. Price $3.50. For sale at the
