the material of his book the author

of size and dignity. But only the few
among the many who write can, ap-
parently, make these elaborate prep
arations and at the same time make
them interesting. Charles Tenney
Jackson is among the few. Once the
preparations are completed and the
journey begun, the reader finds himself
not an onlooker but one of the trav-
elers, sharing the comforts and discom-
forts, the joys and sorrows, of his inn
aginary companions; imaginary, yet so
real that for the hour they assume
living shape and are the familiars OF
our daily life. From this on the way
is clearly marked, the plot unfolds
itself with skillful assurance, though 1t
is more a plot of character than of in
cident There are incidents, inevitable
and in plenty, but it is the effect of
incident on character that interests us,
rather than the incident itself.
On the first page we meet John Ar
mold. No trumpet blasts announce
his coming, but he takes the stage by
right of personality-we know him
without referring to our programs-and
holds it till the curtain falls on the
final tableau. During that time we
have seen a soul stripped of its gauds
and trappings, it's cheats and shams,
it's lies and deceits. We have seen it
fight inch by inch to save its darling
sins until finally beaten and deserted
it stands alone, naked and ashamed,
but unafraid. Then, with the ruins
cleared away, a new life of lowly toll
and humble service is begun, but a
life assured of it's foundations and con-
fident of the ultimate beauty of its
superstructure.
Scarcely less interesting than Jack
Arnold is the character of Nella Free.
This girl has not always walked the
straight and narrow, yet the reader
understands and forgiVes and finally
loves her.

Miss Frances Baird, detective, figures
in another book by R. w. Kaufman,
and those readers who enjoyed the in
itial introduction to this clever and
energetic young woman will find the
second story, my Heart and
Stephanie," equally the mystery of
lost dispatch box, on the top a gold
plate engraved with coat of arms, two
cross crosslets over a chevron azure
upon a field or with a lion rampant
and the motto "Semper Libertas."
Stephane, otherwise the Countess
Routkovsky, beautiful as all well au-
thenticated mysterious ladies should be,
leads not only the detective, Frances
Baird, but a great number of men,
some of them lovers, some friends,
some enemies, but all perforce admirers,
through the many chapters of the book
with reckless abandon. Through Paris,
that Mecca of the detective writer's, in
New York and Philadelphia, less pic
turesque in the matter of cafes, street
names and so forth, but standing for
the respectable solid side of life, that
race of heroine, detective, villains and
friends continues. There is sufficient
shooting and midnight escapades of
hair-raising danger to mark the climax
of nearly every chapter.

THE OCTOBER ATLANTIC

The October Atlantic begins the serial
publication of a new novel by John
Galsworthy. For two years past the
Atlantic has omitted the serial feature,
but the dramatic movement and deli
cate workmanship of the opening chap
ters of THE Patricians" give excellent
reasons why the editors have broken
their recent custom. Henry M. Whit
ney, the most effective champion of
Canadian reciprocity, contributes a
paper on the necessity of a treaty of
close commercial relations with our
northern neighbors. In 1.-THE Cheaper
ing of Religion" James o. Fagan de-
votes the same powers of observation,
which made him so effective a critic of
railroad conditions, to a study of the
problems faced by modern churches.
Speculative papers of importance in the
number include John G. Hibben's elo-
quent '"The Philosophy of Opposition,
a paper dealing with the opportunities
of the average individual, emitted "a
Patent of Nobility" by Ada Cambridge
Few people who have ever slipped from
the grip of tuberculosis will read with

of her own resurrection in 1.-THE Bene-
ficent Valley" while the bund e bear

ing paean in their praise. Prof
Reinsch's intellectual Life in Japan"
Carl Becker's Detachment and the
Writing of History" Mrs Putnams
"'The Lady of the Slave States" and a
keen chapter in Gideon Welles' Diary,
devoated to 1.-THE Impeachment of the
President" are among the more serious
contributions of a number which closes
in happy fashion with Winifre1 Kirk
lands merry recollections of MY Little
Town."
The poems in the number are con-
tributed by Henry van Dyke and Mrs.
Schuyler van Rensselaer,, while 1.-THE
Law and the Indian" by Elliott Flower,
and Harry James Smiths 1.-THE Priv
ilege" are numbered among the stories.
For solid grasp of facts of actual
life and their portrayal at once faith
full and inspiring, "The Day of Souls" "
by Charles Tenney Jackson, is incom-
parably the most full-blooded and Wig
orous work of fiction published in a
long, long time.
AS are many other great novels, this
is primarily the story of one mans
life. A life full of trouble and ac-
quainted with grief, yet knowing good
deeds and blindly conscious always
that somewhere the stars are shining.
1t is a full life, too, and therefore
many men and women circle about it,
or cross its path, influencing and be-
ing influenced; leading or being led;
giving or taking, as in real human
comedy The readers interest is seized
at the very outset of the story and
not released until he has paid the toll
of the last word and yet the intention
of the plot is disclosed with great de-
liberation. The author has invited the
reader to take a long journey with him
and so makes generous preparation at
the outset. This is as it should be. It
is artistic, it creates a feeling of con-
fldence, of sureness; it gives a sense

As in his earlier book, 'The Master

1.-THE Mercy of Fate is a vivid and
realistic story of a millionaire of hum
BILE origin, of imperfect rather than
defective education, of uncouth rather
than boorish manners-who enters the
inner labyrinth of New York society.
The mistake of his early youth pur-
sues his progress doggedly, and not
withstanding the development of his
character the apparent success OF ms
love affair and the consummation of
his social ambitions, he is called upon
to make retribution at the eleventh
hour.
How this is encompassed and what
results from it make a novel which
will have many different points of
interest for readers of various tenn
