don, take a house, meet Lord Ronald,
Cecil de la Borne and a lot of English
society people who were always as now
willing to accept an heiress with $2,OOO,O0O.
Cecil de la Borne lived on the coast of
England with his brother Andrew de La
Borne, the real head of his house. Cecil
invites the party mentioned above to visit
him at his farm place on the coast. An
drew de la Borne, not caring to meet
such a mixed crowd. HES himself to his
fishing quarters. This trip to the de la
Borne house was a welcome invitation
to Major Forrest, for it had gotten so
that no one in his London clubs would
now play fridge with him, and it was
necessary for the major to play to live.
The idea of this house party was to take
all that could be secured from the afore-
said Lord Ronald, the two-candle power
lordlet of English aristocracy. Jeanne
didn't play cards, but roamed the
marshes, hence the title of the book.
On the marshes, of course. she meets
Andrew de la Borne, a great big, strap
ping, manly. fine fellow, in contradiction
to his 2x4 brother. Cecil All went well
in the bridge party. Forrest, the princess
and Cecil who had been let into the
graft, were raking in a great deal of
money from Ronald, when all of sud
den the latter discovers the crooked plays
of his opponents. He refuses to play
longer, and leaving the party, tells them
he will go at once to London Nothing
doing, said the party. Ronald could not
be permitted to return to London to scat
ter broadcast the tale he could tell of
the crooked bridge game. So Ronald was
locked up In a hidden underground pas
sageway until he would agree to hold his
mouth. This he declined to do, and his
disappearance from London, with de-
tectiyes searching for him, make up
min I'm m Mt fna
Jeanne loves Andrew, not knowing who
he was. Things move rapidly; Jeanne
came near to being forced to marry a
count from Belgium, who was all to the
bad in every way. The great fortune of
Jeanne turns out to be myth Andrew
wakes up after bit to what is expected
of him, after few well directed blows
at him and the book, as do all of Mr..
Oppenheim's novels, ends happily.
The great number of persons who buy
Mr.. Oppenheim's books wifi no doubt be
pleased with this latest effusion.
"Upbuilders." by ]. Lincoln Steffens
Doubleday, Page & Coz
This book. Mr.. Steffens says, contains
five straight, true stories, each telling
what one straight, true man has done
with democracy and that through them
all shines forth at last one truth upon
which, as a foundation, man can build
with and for mankind. That Wherever
the people have found leader who was
loyal to them, brave, and not too far
ahead, there they have followed him and
there has been begun the solution of
the problem Of civilized living in human
communities Mr.. Steffens goes on to
show further that 1t has not mattered
who the leader was or what That his
religion has made no difference, nor his
social status, nor his financial condition,
nor his party.
