upon Beekmans love for his daughter.
He makes him governor of the state
and the young peoples engagement is
announced.
Suddenly Wilkinson is surprised to
taken as joke has been sustained
and he is sentenced to 10 years hard
labor in jail 1t is annoying but not
serious, for Beekman will pardon him.
Beekman investigates the case thor
oughly, finds him guilty and can not
pardon. Then the daughter jilts him
and terrible troubles are the result.
Up to this point the book is excel
lent. The weakness in the part where
Wilkinson pursues Beekman, hounds
him out of office and down into the
gutter is apparent to every reader. No
man of the cleverness of Beekman
could have been so easily crushed.
However, for the pleasure of the read
er the author does not leave his hero
in any such dire straits. Slowly but
surely he picks up all the loose threads
and weaves them into case which will
crush Wilkinson. At the same time
he is successful in convincing Leslie,
the daughter. that he has been con-
spired against and she comes back to
him too.
The book is well written and con-
tains some splendid descriptions. not
ably the story of Wilkinson's visit to
court, where his secretary is killed.
Such a picture of cowardice is not
often drawn and no reader will be able
to feel anything but contempt for the
rich man through the remainder of
the story.
The book is illustrated by Harrison
Fisher and George Brehm and is well
printed and bound.

us a much better story in 'The Run
ming Fight" than he did. in THE Red
Mouse" It is only his second long
novel and if his improvement is as
great in the next as in this one let
our writer's of strong romance look
to their laurels. This novel is, like
so many of the last year. largely po-
litical. 1t is a tale of a conspiracy
by which Peter V. Wilkinson will bene-
fit to the tune of about $60,000,0 900 IL
1t consists in looting a combination of
trust companies and in secreting the
securities in such a way that the pub
lie will think he has gone to the wall
with all the other ruined stock hold
ers.
The details OF this gigantic fraud
are worked out so carefully that it
seems impossible for it to fail. The
story is intended to show the tremen-
dous power of money; that it can buy
almost anything; that the man in con-
troll of it can change the government
of the country, almost. and that his
power is seemingly limitless. But
when this man with all the money tries
by any and every means to make an
other commit perjury he is helpless,
for he has come in contact with GER
tain strength of character and honesty
of conviction which nothing can
change. though a terrible test is
brought to bear upon the honorable
one before we are through with him.

Men are not worse than they have
been, says one author, but they are
beset by unfamiliar temptations and
must learn to resist them. There are
fashions in crime. Our age Is averse
to violent collision and the vendetta
has ceased to flourish even in the Ken
lucky mountains. Some forms of sin
no longer pay: witness the professional
burglar whose average income is said
be but $2,500 per year. Public opin-
ion frowns on the betrayer of personal
confidence as it scorns the spy and in
had his day, for our laws protect the
widow, orphan, workingman and any
others who were formerly victim of
the unscrupulously powerful.
No, we have new varieties of mis-
conduct, "specialties and novelties in
iniquity,' TO borrow Professor Ross
phrase, and they exist because the de-
velopment of society multiplies oppor-
tunities, and they flourish because we
have not learned to condemn, abhor
and punish them. Our complex life
causes us to depend more and more on
our fellow man. This. in our CONNER
cial relations, creates opportunities for
new abuses. The deceptions that may
be practiced by physicians, architects.
editors, preachers and teachers con-
stitute the abuses of the professional
relations. The misuse of funds by
bankers, insurance company officials and
others exempliies the abuse of the
fiduciary relation. And the criminal
among criminals is he who tempts,

ANY one can see. after reading a
chapter Of this charming book, that it
is all reality just idealized enough for
purposes Of fiction. The Village of
NagabOnds" is a certain sleepy little
village on the coast Of Normandy. Mr..
Smith shows in every line Of his book
how he loves the village, how intimate
he Is with all the people and how per-
fectly he knows the whole place. 1t is
this same little get off the track
train which takes Mr.. Smith to his own
farm near this very village Here he
practices American hospitality. keeps
. open house for the villagers and goes
on his favorite duck shooting expedi-
tiOns.
