 Mrs, Freeman again dives us q realistic picture of New England vil- .lage life in The Shoulders of Atlas" the New York Herald's 5000 prize story from her pen. It Is not her most perfect piece of literary work, but lt is admirable in parts and 1t .s as an absorbing story The plot is little struggling at times and the reader is kept guessing regarding cer- tain developments, but In the main the story is excellent. IL Is a reason able story of simple hearts and lives, one that appeals directly 10 the heart, and there is a captivating naturalness peryading it.

All the other horrors, the massacre of the St Petersburg workmen on January 22, 1905, the in- numerable massacres of the Jews in- stituted by the police, the butcherles of Tartars, Armenians and Poles in peaceful assemblies, the deliberate burning of theater full of educated people at Tomsk however terrible to the foreign reader, were, taken all to- gether, hardly so costly to the Rus sian people hardly SO significant of their enslaved condition, as the spec tacle of a nation of 1f0,0o0,000 peo- pie being driven by their despot to war against another people 10000 miles away of whom they knew little and against whom they had conceived no grievance,

 Mrs. Freeman marshals Iuite an ar ray of female characters in this story all of types to be found in New Eng l land villages of the presAnt day, but we doubt If there are many places where the women as rule display so little charity for each other or are so alive to each others faults and given to petty jealousies and bickerings.
 One of the happy and very happily told features of the books ending Is the unexpected prank of Cupid when tho prim stern ancient maiden who has for an age or two run the only hostelry in the village and whose charms no lover has ever appreciated suddenly is confronted with g proposal of marriage by the well,to-do apothe- cary of the place, who fof ages has been one of her boarders, a proposal which is promptly accepted with 2 spirit akin to real joy, Qulte touch ing is the "sprucing up cf the spin ster hotel keeper for the important event.
