who represented himself to be heir to a
large sum of money, and who for several
months has been employed as a hostler

"The Yellow God"
Br H- Rider Harrard

By H. Rider Haggard. author OF she" etc.
published BY Cupples & Leon company, New
In the early days OF Rider Hagxard's
popularity the reading public really
took him seriously. 1t is difficult to be-
neve that now, but he was given much
space In the reviewing columns and
one can only wonder now at the reason.
For people really read him and really
liked him. whereas now he IS snifred at
and relegated to the back stairs. His
style surely was no better then than
now, but he struck a new note IN fiction
and the reading public was not so blase
nor so critical OF mere details The
story was the thing and few, wasted
time discussing the style OF so good
a story teller That quality. which no
one can dispute. OF telling a story and

he is written out. There Is little IL

place we are given a very ordinary
love story which has no place at all

"The Gorgeous Isle"

By Gertrude Atherton, author OF "AncestOrs, >"
etc. Published by Doubleday, Page & Co.,
New York. Price 90 cents.
There has been such a deal of talk
during the last year or two about drink
and its effects that this book of Mrs.
Atherton's will cause much discussion.
She is reported TO have said In an in
terview that her hero, Byam Warner.
was a composite picture of Ernest
Dowson, that unfortunate genius whose
music came sweetest from a brain mad
dened by drink. and another of much
fame. whose name is suppressed. for
he still lives and has been reformed.
but since that event has been unable to
write real poetry.
The Gorgeous Isle is one OF the West
indies, where was situated a half cen
tury ago Bath House. a very famous
winter resort for Londoners. Anne
Percy comes to this heavenly spot. She
Is not In the least like the fashion
able beauties of the day. She has spent
her life with her father in the country
and he, being a scientist. has left Anne
to herself-which meant a wonderful
library Here she had read the poetry
Of Byam Warner and so enraptured was
she that she was half in love with the
author. She has been at Bath House
but a few days when she hears all
about Warner. Nothing is too dreadful
to say of him; he can only write under
the inspiration which made Poe and
Byron and Southey famous. other
moral lapses are laid at his door, and
Anne is as much shocked as though she
already knew him.
They meet and fall in love-of course
he promises to reform and keeps his
promise and then against the advice
Of friends and relatives-every one
Anne marries him. After the few months
OF honeymooning are passed and
they settle down to regular living Anne
finds that she has killed the poet by
reforming the man. He can not write
at all and he desires very much TO
write. He has a wonderful epic drama
in his fancy, but he can't do thing
with Il, and his despair is pitiful.
Anne's struggle with herself is dread
full. and even though she finally decides
that 1t is criminal to deprive the world
of its poet, and gives him the inspira-
ton" he can not write without, one is
still in doubt about the result
The early part of the book is delight

the story is depressing and the climax
IS almost tragic. The book is most artis-

Henry c. Rowland can write other
things besides travel tales and sea sto-
ries This he proves by his newest
contribution. The story is lighter than

is a real automobile story, inasmuch
as the whole story hinges on the work

Deane, has rented a very picturesque
estate on a beach somewhere In France.
He goes there to rest and paint and
has scarcely settled when Sam Smalley.
an American friend. aggressively Amer
lean, finds him. They have done no
more than lay the plans for a motor
tour in Smalley's car when some very
exciting adventures are almost thrust
upon them. A rarely beautiful little
Russian countess is discovered impris-
oned in a neighboring house. Scarcely
is she discovered when she is abducted
by fierce person in another motor car.
The two young Americans must rescue
beauty in distress and the descripfion
of their adventures is exciting and in
genious. OF course the maiden was so
beautiful that the artist fell in love on
the spot, which makes a reason for the
crazy things he does for her, but it all
comes out right in the end and they
married and lived happily ever after.
