PEOPLE SIN the Peoples Maya
zine for August the leading number is
novelette, by William Wallace Cook,
whose story, The Mysterious Mis-
sion" in the June issue, made such
hit. Mr.. Cooks latest venture is enti-
tied millionaire Pro Tenn" and has
for background the fight opposing
titanic moneyed interest with all the
adventure, all the daring, all the ex-
citement such battles engender. A ro-
mantle love story forms the central
thread of the plot. The scenes shift
rapidly from New York to the deck of
an ocean-going steamer, and later to
tropical island where the chief char
acters are marooned. Differing totally
from The Mysterious Mission" Bill
lonaire Pro Tenn" will perhaps be
found even more acceptable by the ma
jcrity of readers.

| AINSLEY'S .-This magazine for Au-
| gust is a midsummer fiction number.
Of course the feature is the serial
story, ''Barbary Sheep" by Robert
Kitchens. This is the second INSTALL
ment. and it fully justifies all that was
| said of the story in the preliminary an
nouncements. Mr.. Kitchens proved
himself to be a past master in the art
of transferring to the printed page the
alluring atmosphere of the desert in

Barbary Sheep" he has introduced into
the same atmosphere a wonderfully
absorbing human story. 1t is a most
extraordinary story. Elizabeth Duer

Cousin From Paris" Embodying a plot

not fail TO delight and entertain all

the best. VIII Lexington Comfort ap-
pears again with story called THE
Bisque DOLL which has a child inter-
est of a novel sort leading up to eli
max which not only surprises the read
err but which envelopes the whole tale
in a pathetic interest for grown people.
The humor of the number Is carried in
Elliott Flowers short story which he
calls THE Automobile and the Pig"
1t is the kind of humor that not mere
~ amuses mildly, but proyokes ire
sistible hiiarity. There are other sto-
ries by weil-known writer's.
