Fiction.

By publishing his story THE Wattersons
(William Mara Bell, San Frapcisco) him
self, Mr.. William Marabell is enabled ia
say everything that is on his mind without
restraint to the extent of 654 closely printed
pages, The reader who wades through
them will very likely consider hat the
authors characterization of publishers
as commercial hogs is unkind as well
as impolite, for the book would be vastly
better II out down one-half. In revie wing
a previous book by Mr.. Marabell vi pointed
out that he had a marked gift for describing
character and that he had painted some
parts OF American rural life accurately
and en~tertainingly. The same can be said
Of this book, and in addition that his COM
mand Of English has increased noticeably.
His weakness, as in the earlier book, is in
the control of the story he tries to tell
This is exaggerated by the number Of SER
mons he undertakes to preach. The be-
ginning is hopeful, and as the various char
acters are introduced the reader is infer
ested, for they seem to be live people.
Many Of them, unfortunately, become
the mouthpieces for theories, woman's
rights, trusts, politics and 80 on, and elo-
quent as their speeches are the people fade
away into distractions That the politician
who is the central character lisa good boss"
must be taken on trust; the young heroine
becomes a stick the moment she begins
her woman's rights campaign, and the
dissolute clergyman, with his nauseating
sermons, soon becomes a caricature. What
story there is gets lost among the more
solemn themes that excite the author.
He seems to have il in him to write a good

knocked into him and must learn that If
he will Use the form of fiction, direct and
long preaching is a mistake.
The Thorough understanding Of the in
tricate details Of German home life that
marked the earlier books by the author
Of Elizabeth and Her German Garden" will
be found in her new book, 'Fraulein Schmidt
and Mr.. A%nstruther" Charles Scribner's
sons. The spiteful contempt for German
women which Elizabeth never conceals is
fully apparent here also. 1t is a one sided
correspondence giving the woman's version
Of that commonest Of all international in
cidents, the broken engagement between
a German girl and an English or American
student. In this case the girl is unusually
self-possessed and analytical, so that the
result is an interesting study OF feminine
psychology that appeals to the head rather
than to the heart.
A pretty palpable imitation Of Mr.. Rider
Haggard will be found in. the Baroness
Orczy's 1.-THE Gates OF KANT" CDodd, Mead

Psychologists manage to break into the
civilization Of the Pharaohs. There is a
certain amount Of pseudo-archeology. a
rapid succession of theatrical horrors and
excitement enough to carry the reader
along.

Herds Of gazelles and antelopes fed terrified

Mongolian horsemen again tried to over

astonishment at their inability to do so.
After three hours the car in which the
correspondent was riding entered the arid

and the heat most oppressive. Two hours
later the car entered the vast solitudes of
the desert. The correspondent says:
THE torrid atmosphere seemed to burn

stony ground compelled us to proceed
cautiously and this increased our suferings
caused by the heat, but we encountered no
serious difficulties. The road undulated
over small easy hills. bare Of heritage and
