"Ianet Of the Dunes
BY Harriet t. Cor

Rv Harriet T. Comstock author of "Towcr
or Throne" etc. Published by Little, Brown
& Co.. Boston. Price 81 80.
The weary reader of problem stories
will welcome this charming seacoast
romance, Janet of the Dunes by Mrs.
Harriet T. Comstock. 1t is fine, clean
story with as healthy a tone as its own
delightful setting-the eastern end of
the south shore of Long island.
A little community of simple island
folk is being overrun by summer board
ers. A colony of artists have also es-
tablished little settlement in the hills
OF Quinton, back from the dunes, and
this fact becomes quite important to
Janet, who leaves her home to pose for
one of the most famous of the painters.
Janet is waif. She does not know
she is a waif. but thinks Captain Billy
is her own daddy and loves him de-
is developed, and toward the end of the
book the mystery of her birth is
cleared.
Though Mrs. Comstock says in her
preface that she has made no attempt
at character drawing, she has drawn
some strong types-Mark Tapkins, Mrs
Jo G., Susan Jane and Davy. Susan
Jane and Davy are exceptionally we'll
done; Davy and his close friend Cap
tain Billy are delightful. The constant
changes from comedy to almost tragedy
are handled with much skill and show
the best work done so far by this au-
thor.
Janet is the type of forsaken, long
lost daughter which delights the young
novel reader, but her story as devel-
oped by Mrs. Comstock has nothing
trite about it and wins abundant sym
pathy.
A remarkably good description of a
rescue in a storm by the hard working,
poorly paid members of the life-saving
crew makes a fitting climax of this
stirring tale.

Dan Boards Animal Book"
BY Dan Beard Published by Moffat, Yard
Co., New York. Price 81 go

By Dan Beard. Published by Mofat Yard &
Co., New York. Price 81 go
At last after more than 90 years
of promises. Dan Beard has written
his animal book, and it is worth the
impatient while we have had to wait.
The book is packed from cover to
cover with information about the birds
and the beasts. the reptiles and the in
sects that every American boy knows;
but every fact is so sugar coated with
story, anecdote or adventure that the
ordinary boy thinks he is being en-
tertained instead of instructed. Dan
Beard is anything but a nature faker,
yet some of the things he tells in this
book will make even grownups sit up
and take notice. All sorts of foolish
old beliefs and superstitions are ex-
ploded and interesting anecdotes given
of the origin of some of them. The
chapters on bats, musk OK, deer, buffa-
loes. whales. bears, dogs, fishes. snakes,
bugs, birds and all sorts of living ami
mails are wonderfully llustrated-botf,
by camera and by sketches on the
spot by this remarkable author The
chapter on rats and mice is of espe-
cial interest; not a detail is missing.
and If that chapter alone were print
ed and scattered broadcast over our
city it would be read by all with ad-
vantage as well as interest. Mr..
Boards chapter headings, few OF
which may be quoted, show the va
riety of subjects he writes about:
Alone in a Room Full of Rats,
Hairy Tailed Pack Rats" "A Tribe of
Gnawers and Their Food" "The Bats
I Have Had do Men Think?' Birds
and Insects That viii Take an ArtI-
fetal Fly The First Live Musk OK
Ever Seen in New York '"The Deer
I Should Not Have Killed" Charged
by a Herd of Buffalo" Bears I Have
Met" "A String of Dog Tales" Fish
Sketches and Fish Stories" Snakes
and Snake Stories"
When it is added that even with
out the stories the volume would be
interesting for its pictures. you may
see what a valuable animal book j

spirators are using, and taey take
seemingly unnecessary precaution in
passing it along. OF course it gets every
body into trouble and it takes some
$40 pages to straighten out the tang1e
and extricate the American hero and
heroine from their dangerous position.
Novelists nowadays consider no country
nor government too sacred to be
used for the purpose of fiction. and
in this tale Russia and Bulgaria are
mixed UP in a political intrigue to re-
move a princeling and put a certain
a finger in the pie, and the characters
of the various conspirators are SO
thoroughly blackguardly that one does
not want to belong to any country
mentioned in the book, save only Eng
land or America.
The story is better written than the
majority off such tales, but no melo-
dramatic possibility is forgotten. There
are lSidnapings and duels, DISCUSSES and
all night Journeys against time, noun
tain Businesses and surprising peasants.
1t is story to kill time for a few
idle hours and is exciting enough to
hold the interest through to the end.
The love affair, like most of them in
tales of this sort is a first sight

ready to sacrifice his reputation and his
life for a single word from the heroine
