 Impossible. He's been a slave to the habit for years"

 Why? Did the doctor order him to do it on account of his nerves?"
 No, 1 don't believe so; but you know that peach of stenographer he's had for the past few weeks? Well, l happened to overhear her say one day, when Bondsonby was listening, that she would be as willing to kiss a pig as to kiss a man who was always smoking"

CALEB TRENCH"
Mary Inlay TayIOr's story of a
NOrtherner in the south.

Mary Inlay TayIOr's story of
NOrtherner in the south.
More than the usual number of books
have appeared this spring dealing with
the problems Of the South and their So
Iutlon-from a Northern point Of view.
And it must be said that the majority
Of these were more or less far-fetched
and some of them absurd. But Mary
Inlay Taylor in her latest book. Caleb
Trench has succeeded in striking
note that rings true throughout the en-
tire story and in writing a novel Of
Southern conditions and characters that
is interesting and dramatic without be-
coming improbable or meIodramatic.
Caleb Trench is a Philadelphia Quaker,
who braves the prejudices of the people
Of a small Southern toWn-the authoress
succeeds in keeping the exact locality
well hidden-and who determines to break
down the bars that are against him So
cally. for naturally he Is not regarded
as being very high up In the social scale.
He has this rather fOrcibly impressed on
him at the very outset Of the story when
he goes out TO the Royals and is treated
with scant courtesy there.
He studies law during the spare mo-
ments that he has and organizes a body
of backwoodsmen To fight the machine
for he realizes that there IS a crying
need for reforms in politics in this part
Of the country. He finally succeeds I'm
his purpose Of breaking the power of
the machine and even has his Repub-
lcan candidate elected governor Of the
State But Il IS al a great cost 10 him
for his rival-Jacob Eaton. the fancee of
the girl with whom he is in love-uses
every means in his power 10 have him
defeated-even resorting 10 calumny and
the suspicion OF murder TO carry his
ends But in the end il is found that
Eaton is guilty Of all the crimes that he
has laid az the door OF Trench. and all
ends happily. though the authoress IS
forced TO have recourse to the time
honored expedient Of having the hero
wounded 70 bring the heroine TO a real
lzation Of the fact that she loves him.
Notwithstanding the fact that she has
an abundance of opportunity for heroics.
Miss TAYLOR wisely refraiEs from the
use OF them-the attempted lynching of
the negro. Juniper, and his rescue by
Trench and the militia, being the only
SOP To the lovers 81 the good old tale of
the South as We read about IT, Il IS true
that she has played upon the parentship

Samuel Prescott was boy of seven

was dissatisfied with the way things were
going on the farm. and demanded that

is arrested for vagrancy, and only es-

CONDUCT OF BELINDA"
IN Entertaining JRUnt of Eight
People in Europe

Ever since the Williamsons gave US
MY Friend. the Chauffeur" and the
companion stories, it has seemed TO be
the fad TO write tales of summer travel
through Europe and the adventures there
But there have been few that have been
as well written and as entertainingly told
as the latest Belinda book. THE Personal
Conduct of Belinda" by Eleanor Hoyt

In a preceding volume the authOress
made US acquainted with the fair Belinda
at college. and now she tells us how the
popular teacher OF English takes charge
Of a party Of seven on a personally con-
Quoted" tour of Europe The eight per-
sons are two Of the bOarding-school girls,
a couple from Dakota, an elderly married
lady. another old lady who joins the party
on the spur OF the moment, and the mys-
FERROUS Mr. Courtney. The latter turns

entire party journeys through England,
France. the chateau country. and the
other places usually visited by tourists,
but an added charm is given 20 the de-
scriptions of the places by the bright
chatter and repartee so literally sprinkled
over the pages.
Indeed. it is IN the conversation Of the
book-especialy in Belinda 's-that the
chief charm lies; for we have had de
scriptions Of these places many times be
