The first chapters OF Robert HIGH
ems new novel, The Dweller on the
Threshold" which is running serially
in the Century. indicates that
psychical research is to be
the keynote of the story. 1t
is not the object of Mr.. Hichen's story,
it is said, to set forth what has been
accomplished in tn field of occultism !;
but his working out of some of the
phenomena of occulMsm in his story
cannot fail to interest all who have
paid any attention to psychic prob
lens.
ST. Nicholas in 1911.-The first story
for young folks written by the author
Of The Lady of the Decoration" will
appear in the December st. Nicholas.
1t will be called "The Russian Gen
erals Son." and it will have illustra-
tions in two colors from drawings by
Genjiro Kataoka, who made the pic

A later number of st. Nicholas will
have a story by the same writer spe-
cially for girls, entitled ''Yoma Wilkes

with some unusual AMI interesting
