! Good story or the sOnth and Or the War,
by lafayette McI.aws.

To the younger generation" the events
Of the civil war are no more real or signifi-
cant than Napoleon's campaign in Egypt
or the defeat of the Armada, mere historical
details. But out of the great struggle be-
tween the North and Sodth Lafayette
McIaws has woven a story picturesque
and dramatic. peopled with famous per-
sonages and founded on facts of vital im-
portance.
This story, -The Welders," while dis
tinctly Southern in sympathy. il patriotic
~ sentiment and just to both sides in treat
pent. Therein lies its distinction and
value. IL il panoramic in scope, photo
graphic in detail, we'll put together. and in
some of the battle scenes remarkably
strong and realistic. Commencing with
the feudal life of the old South, explaining
its traditions, social distinctions and heredi
tary customs, Miss McLaws fearlessly pic
tures both the bad and the good Of the old
regime the cruelty of the slave sellers and
overseers. the scenes Of the slave auction
and whipping post and the careless pleasure
loving life Of the plantation, its hospitality
and abundance, its arstOcracy OF birth
and breeding, its scorn Of wealth and pre-
tension. She shows us the hendish slave
owner tracking his runaway slaves with
bloodhounds. cutting of their legs in pun
ishment when discovered. and also the
gracious gentlewoman 10 whom her escaped
slaves return voluntarily 20 be received
kindly, who would give them their freedom
mad they not been willed to her in trust.
As the story progresses there are intimate
revelations Of the great men of the time
Clay and Calhoun. Stephens. Lee. Davis,
John Brown and the titanic figure Of Lincoln,
strong and kind. sad and whimsical. The
story revolves about On ambitious little
boy, David. who became the proteg6 and
loyal follower Of Stephens. and little girl
called Annie Laurie. This boy and his
sweetheart manage to be mixed up with
| all the stirring episodes Of the time The
boy becomes Confederate officer. tho
girl is always stanch little Abolitionist
so we get both sides. If you were To
find fault whore 50 much is good IL would
| be with the love letters David wrote TO Annie
laurie. They were filed with the record
of momentors events and could have been
printed in the Congressional Record with no
expurgations of endearing terms. They
are not the kind OF messages a lady ex-
poets TO receive from her absent lover,
though they help on the story. However.
since Annie Laurie forgave David. we must
overlook this poor device in an ,author
who has crowded 40 much valuable iafor-
nation into 30 entertaining a narrative.

yissd romance were not mixed up in the

with pleasure that the WilliamsOns' new

intrigue and romance and hasn't anything
