Miss Eva Madden, now living in
Italy, is achieving marked success in
literary lines. Besides her regular work
on the staff of a London syndicate she
finds time to write both books and
stories. Her latest story, For Russia"
published in this months Craftsman, is
unlike anything else she has written.
1t is undoubtedly one of the most
noteworthy short stories ever pub
lisheG by this excellent magazine. 1t
has strength and beauty; it's plot is
well conceived and handled; it's charac-
terization is striking. The events
leading to the climax follow like ham,

aim. The intensity of the browning
situation cOald hardly be increased. 1t
is a story with flavor Of oldworld life,
complex and finished; Of human pa

hottest and best love and life even

has trusted her husband to be betrayed

which recalls the name of his former
novel, 1.-The Settler" The scene chosen

with the fierce warfare in Mexico only

by that country with the Yaqui Indi-
ans. Mr. Whitaker is familiar with
the conditions of the country from
personal observation and is said to
hold some strong convictions which his
novel will reflect on existing social
frauds and radical inhumanities..
