TREASURE TROVE. By c. A. Dawson
Scott. New York: Duffleld e. Co.
Suppose a burglar is overheard at night
in the house and is frightened away be-
fore he can remove any plumber. Suppose
in his excitement he leaves on the mantel
a package of valuable jewels, the loot
from another house. Suppose perfectly
respectable and honest British matron
finds the package, and without the knowl-
edge Of others opens it and hides Its con-
tents. Supposing all these things, Is 1t
true. as the adage says. that finding Is
keeping? That is the question which
Mr. Scott puts in this story. Just whether
Mrs Smart is justified in keeping treas
fore the conclusion of the tale. Prevari-
cation of course, becomes necessary. and
it is a familiar old saying that one lie
breeds another. So that soon Mrs. Smart
is involved in a maze of fabrication which
put her native British honesty to Sc
rious strain. The story is somewhat ex-
banded by the intersection of biograph-
ical and genealogical accounts which do
not artistically improve it. But Mr.. Scott
has a good tale to tell and he tells 1t IN
the main with straightforward effective
ness.
