Literary NesOs and Criticism.

and Investigations hither and yon are carried
on with all possible thoroughness. The magis-
trate is extraordinarily skilful in his campaign,
hut as events move, his attitude toward the
supposed murderer is affected in such a man
ner that the drift OF the narrative is neces-
sarily changed In other words, a situation
complex and mysterious at the start becomes
more and moro battling, ana the reader grows
more and more anxious to reach the final solu-
ton. Written with a brisker touch this would
make unusually good contribution to detec-
tive fiction. As it is it contains much to appeal
to the reader addicted to such literary fare.
Mr.. Rath's book, The Sixth Speed is just
amazing yarn, set forth with SO much vim
and in confident vein that though not
really plausible, il is richly amusing The hero
is clever young chauffeur who gets tired Of
running automobiles for mionaires and de-
cdes use his faculties entirely for his own
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Speed, speed fascinates him.
and broodng over the subject. he invents an
apparatus which when placed in a boat and set
in motion enables him to skim the waters with
unheard Of rapdty. He can make the Pro-
jectile move at the rate of one hundred and
twenty miles an hour, Distrusting the wiles u
those who buy useful inventions he assemblies a
sy7npathetic crew and proceeds to exercise the
profession of pirate. In short time he has
terrorized the yacht owners of America, and
before he gets through he has stirred up the
whole world. OF course, there is a pretty girl IN
the offing, and. equally of course, their love
affair has its influence his piraticai career
II is great nonsense, but there is no denying
the pivacity of the skit
The types in Folks Back Home are made or
homespun, and their affairs are never IN the
least imposing They very human, however
and Mr.. Wood in his unpretentious way, makes
q successful appeal Dealing with simple epi-
sodes and emotions In straightforward fashion,
he gives the quality of truth to his stories. He
leaves an Impression of sympathy and sincerity,
and though read his thirteen stories at
sitting is not altogether exhlarating, to dip into
the collection is pleasant experience.
