That the ftteSt survive despite op-

that remains with the reader Of Hugh

one learns from study Of this care

big thinE-the fact that the people Of
Ireland alone. Of all the creatures Of

their racial characteristics, resisting
every attempt TO corrupt, 10 aSslullate

Of the book. ITeland's history and soT-

Every man who reads English and

But the difficulty with the world and
the people IS that they know Ireland
as they know the stars They know
there are planets ana consultations
But that is as far as they 20. And
so they know Ireland-it Is an island
that has large number OF Inhabitants
many Of whom nave come to the United

There are few languages that are
without the romance Of the life Of
Alexander the Great. The English
tongue has been blessed-or cursed
with many Ioquacious -ellers Of tales
who have dealt with the great soldier
and conquCror as their limitations per
u5tted. It is we'll for some of these
ronEncists that they did not live In
the days when Alexander was supreme
for their works were rOmances pure
ard simple Few great man have been
so roughly handled by their biOsrapll-
eIs whose principal idea in writing
seemed TO be that the mighty Emperor
was dead-a long time dead-and no
one would ever know the difference
All This is but Introductory to the
.,nrcuncemcnt that IN his three vol
uufcs Of romantic adventures Marshall
NJ Kir5mau has done something en-
tircIv Jinereu; from the usual bio
ersDhies of the builder Of empires

KirIzman has searched through history
and romance Cor data regarding the
wonderful story Of Alexander telling
the story Of his life In the form of a
novel, an historical novel Of immense

pulses and lIiuuIes anew the admira-
tiln Of the reader for the astounding,
The most colossal figure Of history.
T..e- entire life Of Alexander and Of

Roxs.a is covered in these books.

the woman becomes a factor. and the

While Mr. Kirkman sticks Tel1gtOusly

rent that he is trying 10 make these
