 ITO HIM THAT HAITI by Le Roy Scott; Sec published gd3 by Doubleday Page <
 A good story and strong one, of heroic sacrifice and the results of it. It strikes with sure touch the varying chords and springs of human motives. Verging at times on the improbable it is yet of compelling interest It deals with the problem of the reformation of the criminal and the uplifting phy- sical, mental and moral of the masses. These are the basic foundations of the tale. And the author is not destitute of humor. His Kid slum boy lends to the interest of the volume and there is faint suggestion of Samuel We'll
  entrapped into marriage--in the char ade, of the Mayor of Avenue A. The novel differs from the Upton Sinclair sort in its being tlnged with humor even In the trying passages where the wicked seem to be in very flour ishing condition The hero is a nov elist, David Aldrich who goes to prison as a sort of vicarious sacrifice to shield the reputation of his dead friend and benefactot Rev. Philip Morton who was young clergyman | in charge of a mission who had be- come entangled with a young woman | fair but frail, who bleeds him heavi- i ly keeping him in debt and because of whose blackmailing demands upon him as the price of secrecy he be- | comes an embezzler of church funds. | The theft amounted to $5,000 The hero is in love with superb beauty, rich, and as good as she is beautiful, Miss Chambers, a woman bred in the 1 conventions of her class the top strata of the American aristocracy of wealth. Morton had life of apparent sancti- | ty, redeeming single handed the slum population of St. Christopher's parish; but he has taken the church funds to satisfy the adventures. The loss Is | discovered by the church authorities. l Aldrich, after various inward strug- | vles, gets the woman out of the way, and to save the parish of St. Christo- pher's from backsliding, as it would at the unmasking of Morton's charact- CT, assumes the theft himself, and goes to the penitentiary for four l years When Morton is released he Is penniless and being without friends seeks employm ent in vain. Of course all this means serious complications and drawbacks for the love affair of David and the high born beauty Many pages are taken up with the story of David's desperate struggle to earn even the barest living Again and again does temptation assail him. and once he almost yields. There is young woman who is crook herself and who constantly puts before him the temptation to give up his struggle with it's accompaniments of starvation, cold, nakedness and suffering, to quit the honest game" and be at ease on the proceeds of crime. In his misery David even shares his crust with oth- CTS. How 1t all ends is reserved for the reader of this vividly told and very interesting story It is a virile tale despite some crudeness and lack of finish

Last week when Dr. William A. Croffut of Washington, D. C., former ly a New Haven newspaper editor, visited town to renew old friendships, the tone of the news items announcing his arrival showed beyond a doubt that he has created a place for him self in the literary world. While pr. Croffut's life work has been getting up syndicate articles for newspapers, he has his hobby, the work of which he is especially proud. This hobby is writing books opposing the Christian religion.
 Dr. Croffut made his debut as an in fldel many years ago, soon after leav- ing this city, in public debate held in Washington in which a Rev. MT. Sunderland opposed him. Dr. Crof- fut's success can be judged from the fact that a verbatim report of the controversy, both sides, has been is- sued as a propaganda work by the Freethinkers. It has run through numerous editions and is still in print. Some years ago he visited the Holy Land and upon his return issued a work bearing the rather striking, even though unattractive title Faith and Fraud" Tn this little volume be de- soribes the mental impressions he got when viewing the localities made fam ous by the scripture records.

"RANDY'S FRINGE" by Amy Brooks Eighth and concluding volume of the Randy Books" Finely illustrated by the author; published by Lothrop. Lee Ss Shepard Co., Boston, $100; at all boo stores.
 An eighth handsome volume brings to close the popular Randy Books" Randy is the same true, loving girl that she has always been. The com ical rural characters that have given so much entertainment in early books are, if possible, more droll, and Ram dy's little sister Prue as winsome and original as ever. It has long been evident that the time must come when Randy must make the choice which most deeply concerns her future hapA piness, but so honest and maidenly Is she that neither of the young men who most worthily admire her can feel that he has more than the pleas ant friendship of former schooldays. nor is the reader any wiser as to the outcome, until at the very end she al- lows her heart to make known who is "Randy's Prince" This Is wisely done, as the story of sweet and simple girlhood is in this way entirely unim- paired by the introduction of the love clement. The regret that there are to be no more Randy Books" will be somewhat modified by the authors welcome statement that little sister Prue" is to have a series of books written about her. beginning with next season, in which Randy will no doubt often appear.
