llshed by Small Maynard & Co, Boston.
Price S1.50.
Prof. James H. Hyslop. formerly pro-
fessor Of ethics and logic in Columbia
university. has written three other
works previous to the present volume
on kindred subjects. One was Border
land OF Psychical Research" the second
"Enigmas of Psychical Research" and
the third, Science and a Future Life"
He has earned recognition for his work
and commendation, but where he most
desired appreciation he has failed. as
witness his dedication: ITO my chill
dren, who viii some day see the light"
This volume contains a number of
essays relating TO the subjects dis
cussed in the three previous volumes,
but the natter is largely new. The
first and last essays have not been
published before. but the others have
appeared in various magazines and
periodicals. Whether one is in sym
pathY with Professor HysTop or not.

ject in this book.
The author goes deeply into sub
lbninal consciousness and secondary
personality and makes clear many
formerly obscure points.
The author realizes what an uphill
fight 1T is to establish his beliefs and
Investigations as a science" His
closing remarks in the preface are
deeply significant:
The phenomena still accumulate and
increase the duties of science to in
vestigate and interpret them. There
are growing signs that intelligent men
see that new world of facts promises
TO open to human vision and interest

these men die their places will be
taken by a younger generation that
has no preiudices to maintain. We
have only to exercise patience until
the victory has been won, though it is
unfortunate that we are not allowed to
discuss the issues which are involved
while accommodating the facts which
are to decide it. A better day will
soon arrive for this discussion and the
next generation viii treat the intol-
erance of the present as we treat the
attacks on Copernican astronomy and
Darwinian evolution. We only await
sufficient Intelligence to endow the sin-
vestigation when il may be made com
mensurate with the immensity of the

''The Woman PAYS"
BY Frederic p. Lao

By Frederic z, Ladd Illustrated by Gordon
Grant. Published by Mitchell Kennerley,
New York. Price $1.50.
The title of this novel indicates its
theme pretty clearly. but it is a sadder
and more tragic tale than the general
run of novels of this type. The chief
actor in the drama is young clergy
man of New York who makes his sue
cess entirely by sensational methods
Almost at the first meeting one sus-
poets he is not quite sincere in his con-
victions. He is too prone to do things
to catch the public" who wants to be
fooled, very much like the circus man
ager and with equally reprehensible
methods. Among other advertising
lodges he practices is one of writing
his confession" for yellow magazine,
with the idea of getting himself talked
about-no matter how.
Two of his parishioners are Win
throp and Victoria Kent, a happy young
married couple. Winthrop is a success
full editorial writer on a fine daily pa
per and they are quite comfortable on
his excellent salary.
Phe minister is invited to their home
and promptly falls in love with the
wife and the affair progresses rapidly.
She is led to believe that her fondness
for drink has much to do with her
downfall
The tale of victoria's deception is
loathsome. for it is so reasonless. she
is loved by her husband and is treated
with such uniform kindness and in
finite patience that one fails to see the
smallest loophole OF an excuse for her

other characters In the story, are old
friends-Richard the lion hearted, the
bad usurper Prince John, Fair Rosa
mond, the abandoned mistress of the
dead King Henry, and her son, Master
Godfrey
The bad Prince John was the regent
during Richards absence in Palestine
and was able to do lot of damage.
The court was most corrupt and no
business of state was attended to, the
people living only for pleasure.
Prince John has taken a great fancy
to his illegitimate half brother. Geof-
frey, and has made him his bosom
friend so that he is willing to aid him
in the accomplishment of his desires
Godfrey and his mother are arch viii
lains; the mother, Fair Rosamund. has
been made prioress of a retreat at Ely
and has spent her time there in sys-
tematic robbery of the church for
the benefit of her son, and the son,
a thoroughly depraved courtier carous-
ing and gambling.
When the court goes to visit the
abbey of Bradfield 1t is with a notion
of giving it to Godfrey, the old abbot
having died. At the same time the
monks have chosen new abbot from
their own number and wish to make
an amicable arrangement with the re-
gent, John, whom secretly they hate
being faithful to the absent Richard
This abbey of Bradfield holds the trus
teeship and guardianship of the estate
and person of the Lady Rohese de
Cokefeld. whose father has been lately
killed in the wars. When Rosamund
and Geoffrey hear of her and see her
they decide that she and her vast
estate must be won by whatever means
for Geoffrey.
Poor little Rohesc-for the most of
the book she is prosecuted by these
wolfish people and aiways is saved lust
in time by Jocelin. This Jocelin has
been in the abbey since his eighth
year and is only 20 now. Both being
handsome and normal young people
how could they help playing at love?
Jocelin has a hard time of it and sew
eral times 1t seems as If he had been
drowned in his sea of troubles He is
even compelled to play the wedding
march for Rohese and young Henry of
Leicester, whom she had loved for years
and mourned as dead for a long, long
time.

When the month of gayety is up and
the money is gone, Diana flies back

To complicate matters she has had two
love affairs and with both there is
much interest. One of them becomes
almost dramatic; the only spot like
that in the book.
Diana is a failure in London. and the
climax is very natural and carried out
with much artistic skill. How the right
man finds her is a charming ending

'The Captains Wife"

BY John Lloyd. Published by Mitchell Ken
nerley, New York. Price $3.50.
The Captain" scarcely knows he is
married until the end of the book and
his wife Is not his wife for a long time,
but it is an interesting story just the
same The captain is hunter Of
Apaches and the time of the story is a
few years ago, when the government
was having trouble with Geronimo
and his band of picked braves. The
place is a little army post in Arizona,
within riding distance of Tombstone.
Colonel Marcy has been sent out to
the post to take charge of an expedi-
tion against the Indians, and takes
with him his daughter Mary and his
niece, Nina Wentworth.
Two of Colonel Marcy's officers, Cap
tain Livingston and Lieutenant Heck
err fall in love with Nina. Livingston
has never been interested in women
before and this is a desperate case of
love at sight At the end of three
short weeks he proposes-and she
agrees-that they go to Tombstone and
marry secretly. The reason for Sc
crecy is that Nina is rich and her
guardian is Livingston's superior off,
Ger and they fear refusal If they ask
his consent On the way home from
Tombstone they are surrounded by a
band of savages in war paint. one of
whom yells, Don't hurt the womanr'
Livingston knows what that means
and draws his revolver and aims at his
brides heart.
Robert! she cried. as though she
comprehended what he was doing, but
not the reason; and than all the world
crashed around him = a flame"
They are rescued just in time, but
the reader may think it's really too
late, for when, month later, Living
ston regains his health in the hospital
he finds his wife has gone east and has
shown nothing but the coolest friendly
interest in him, Letters accomplish
nothing and he supposes that she has
ceased to love him. Then he spends a
long furlough and convalescence in
Japan.
Lieutenant Hecker in the meantime
goes east. He has always been lady
killer, but a good soldier. He lays

siege to Nina's heart and wins. AS soon
as they are married he hurries back
with her to the Arizona army post to
show her off to his brother officers.
Then Livingston meets her and discov-
ers that the shock at the time of the
attack by Indians has deprived her of
memory of that time. She has no
recollection of the secret marriage
All this takes place in the early part
OF the book and the remainder is
spent in unentangling this fearfuIly
mixed skein. There have been many
lost memory stories, first cousins to
the double personality tales, but this
Is the best for some time. 1t is fairly
well written and has few weak spots.

COMMENCE SUIT SOON
Action to Be Started Within Short Time by
Holders Of Water Deeds Under City Reser-
voir to Determine Ownership Of Water.

That the time of the final set
tlement of the water question
at Mountain Home is rapidly
drawing near is evidenced by
the announcement, made to a
Republican representative by
one who is in a position to know
the facts, that within the next
two weeks a suit will be COM
menced in the district court for
Elmore county by holders of
old water rights under the City
reservoir to determine judicially
the ownership of the water that
belongs in that part of the
Great Western Beet Sugar Com
pany's system. The parties
who are to appear as plaintiffs
in this suit represent, it Is
stated about five hundred
acres of land in the immediate
vicinity of town, but it will be
necessary for all who claim
rights under this reservoir to
come into the suit either as de-
PENDANTS or plaintiffs, under the
penalty of losing what rights
they might claim from their
deeds. 1t is also stated that in
cases suits for damages
will be instituted against the
company for misappropriation
of water this season, it being
claimed by old water users that
the water that belongs to the
land under the city reservoir
has been wrongfully taken for
the use of the tracts of new
land south of town which have
no right except to water from
the part of the system above
the Long Tom reservoir. These

and has in a general way deter

satisfied himself on the import
ant points and will ship a plant
as soon as some minor points
are worked out. The process
will be a combination of roast
ing and cyaniding.
1t is further stated by Mr..
Darlington that the gold saved
on plates was sufficient to pay
all mining, milling and other
expenses. He added that the
mine was opening up wonder
