A New Mystery Story-"Under the
Black CaSsock."

One of the best mystery stories
we have read in long time is
Edith Morgan Willett's novel,
under the Black Cassock," which
is published complete in the Nov
ember Litpineotfs. The opening
scenes are laid in New York, after
which the action shifts to Charles
ton, and the characters are society
folk Of the intelligent, we'll bred
kind which really exists, and not at
all the hysteric, exotic, little short
of idiotic sort that. are pictured so
often in the so-called society stories.
The plot is an ingenious one, and
the denouement is quite unexpect-
ed. Among the shorter fiction is a
charming story called "The First
Hurdle" by John Reed Scott, who
won recognition with his two
novels, "The Colonel of the Red
Huzzars" and "Beatrix of Clare. "
The Blood O. Innocence" by
George L. Knapp, is a strongly
dramatic story OF a feud in Eng.
land in the days when men wore
swords. 1.-The Old Folks at Home"
by Sarah Chichester Page. is a de-
lightful sketch of Virginia life.
Other noteworthy contributions in
the fiction line are by Mabel Mel
son Thurstou, George Bridges Rod
ney, Joseph M. Rogers, and Mrs.
E. Ayrton-Zangwill. There is
another Of Mrs. John van Vorst's
excellent Partisan articles, this
time on French SCHOOLGIRLS of
To-day" Other papers are "a
Canadian Heronry," by Bonny-
castle Dale; "The Brutality of the
Matinee Girl" by Juliet Wilbor
Tompkins "The Vehicle of Dis
ease." by Lewis B. Ely; MADAME
Nazimova-A Comparison" by
Anna Mcclure Sholl; and ZAP
premiership in Letters" by Rene
Bache. Some exceptionally good
verses and the usual department Of
humor "Walnuts and Wine" COM
plete the number.

Nobody's Claim.

In this stage of realism it is not
uncommon to witness e. stage pro-
duction, especially comedy dramas
of the type of J.. M. Jacobs "No-
body's Claim" whose scenes are
mimic counterparts of most thrill
ing incident. "Nobody's Claim"
possesses a dramatic story and in
tense climaXes with pathos and
laughter blended in mastery style.
A western blizzard is rapidly whirl-
ing snow in drifts over the benumb-
ed litlle heroine, who is saved from
death by Ward Devereaux, the
hero, who is on hand to save an
express train from wrecking by a
gang of outlaws calling themselves
"Owls." Realistic effect is gained
by the passing of the express at
full railroad speed. For his inter-
ference the hero is lured to the
cabin occupied by the Owls, and
here again the author has shown
the ability to introduce and formu.
late. naturally as part of the story.
incidents that thrill audiences to
the core, and rouse the gallery to
cheering demonstrations OF approv-
al. Into this crime stained den
comes the bright little heroine
Madge, and nobly stands behind
the man she loves, cuts the cords
that bind him and leads him from
an awful fate in the burning cabin.
There have been many vivid rep
reservations of stage fires, but the
liberal expenditure for special
scenery and their skilled mechanics
enable J.. M. Jacobs to show room
entirely surrounded by smoke and
flames and part of it collapses en-
tirely, thus making the rescue a
perilous one. "Nobody's Claim"
will appear at the Grand Opera
House, Thursday Nov. 9TH.

Don't Be Mislead.

The new primary election law
fixes the hours of voting from to
8 o'clock in the afternoon. This,
it seems, is confusing some voters,
who got the idea that the polls
would be open until 8 o'clock at
the General and Spring Elections.
Such is not the case. Polls are
open as formerly, from 7 a. III. to
7 p. m.
