she studies, then she has a son. The
child does not take away her ambi-

takes better care of the boy than she

work. Then comes the clash. Her
husband is narrow and has decided
views about women, their place in the
world and home. He may be type Of
Russian husband, but, as drawn, every
reader will hate him; his uncompro-
missing attitude is brutal and would
rouse the antagonism of a far less
spirited wife than Vera. She scarcely
realizes the length to which he will go
to have his own way and she deter

The question is fairly well talked
over between Vera and her friend AL

"The Way to Win"
~ JON w. Terguson.

BY John ". Ferguson. Published by the
Neale company, New York. Price S1.50
Jack Hamilton, New York, bachelor
and man Of pleasure, sits alone in his
luxurious furnished apartments in New
York city. He is staring straight ahead,
his lips drawn in a thin, bitter line, his
eyes narrowed, keen, unseeing. He is
judging his own life, coldly holding it
up for inspection as If it were some
new and impersonal thing. For once
and at last Jack Hamilton is face to
face with his past.
Slowly he turns il around that he
may see it on all sides, this past that
is so curiously a part of himself, yet so
removed from his present. And look
ing steadily. he sees himself for what
he is-a spendthrift of lifes most pre-
cious gifts and opportunities.
To begin the new life you must cut
loose from the old, root and branch"
il is Jack Hamiltons decision. He pro-
ceeds to cut loose from his former life.
With his professional library and
equipment and the $4,000 left Of
his fortune, he goes to the mid
die west. He is determined and
fearless and the new land is a free and
beautiful field for man who would
SOW new seed-but what man can es-
cape the harvest Of his former sowing2
The way Dr.. Jack Hamilton reaped
what he had sowed yet redeemed the
waste years and evolved his manhood
the way he won out" in a splendid
western city makes a story worth read
ing. It is at once a character study, a
love story, and a sort of experience

Vera recommences her study and her
Infatuated husband takes her to their
impossible for her to continue her
work. She endures 1T all summer, but
when winter comes she plans to work
when they return to town. What a
shock 1t is to her to find her husband
contemplates spending the winter away
from the city can easily be imag ined
Vera takes matters into her own
hands at this point. She spends all of
one night thinking 1t over, but decides
what she will do before morning. 1t
Is very daring thing in Russia or for
that matter anywhere but in emanci-
pated America, and she knows just
how irrevocable is her step. She runs
away to Paris, changes her name and
goes to work at her art.
In the course of time she meets a
man. an artist, who loves her and she
loves him. She is wondering how she
can obtain her happiness, when she picks
up a paper and reads that her husband
has obtained an absolute divorce. Her
freedom makes her wild with joy, but
why she conceals her whole past from
her lover is hard to explain. She tells
him she is widow, has been unhappy
in her married life and never wishes to
speak of 1t. He trusts her and they
marry.
Her life for the next Is years is per-
feet She is happy in every way, but
she has no children. At this point the
story is taken up again. Her grown
son comes to Paris and becomes pupil
and protege of her husband. The boys
love affairs do not run smoothly. and
in talking with Vera about ways and
means their relationship is revealed.
Through an accident the husband dis
covers all and, denouncing his wife as
an impostor, leaves the house.
The story is all there. but the prob
lem is not this husbands attitude.
Whether or no he was wrong is of
small moment to the great theme of
the book, which is all around the posi-
ton and duties of woman.
What are her responsibilities? Vera
decides that art comes first and so de-
serts her home, but when her son finds
that he, to be comfortable, must give
UP the girl he wishes to marry or his
career as an artist, he decides for love.
The author presents all the points for
and against both solutions of the prob
lens and interests the reader from
start to finish. The book is well writ
ten and will be much discussed. There
are pages and chapters of quotable
passages. but space forbids more. The
book is we'll worth reading.

''Rear AdmiraIs Schley,
Sampson and CerVera"

By CAPTAIN James Parker. Published by the
Aeale company, New York. Price So.
Captain James Parker was formerly
lieutenant commander. United States
navy, and one Of the counsel for Rear
Admiral Schley before the court of in
curry OF 1903 that tried that officer. In
his book entitled Rear Admirals
SchIey, Sampson and Cervera" he gives
a review Of the naval compaign Of 1898
in pursuit and destruction of the Span
fish feet commanded by Rear Admiral
Pascual Cervers-
The court Of inquiry. it must be said,
is the great feature OF the book. Cap
tain Parker has two things to prove in
this book and he does them TO his own
satisfaction. he feels that he is doing
all possible to prove Schley's position
10 pOsterity.
Having been careful to show the
reader the difference between a court
martial and a court of inquiry the au-
thor says in his review of the contro-
versy:
IT soon became evident, from the
methods Of procedure adopted by the
Judge advocate. that the court. so far
as he could control. was not TO be a
court OF inquiry, but, in fact. a court
martial. Instead of summoning all the
witnesses who knew or were supposed
to know anything about the matters to
be inquired into. in order that all the
facts might be presented to the court
as II was his duty to do, only those wit
nesses, with q few exceptions. were sum-
moned by the Judge advocate who were
known or believed TO be unfavorable to
Admiral Schley, and who could be re-
lied upon to discolor or conceal such
facts as might be favorable to him."
The other statement made by the au-
thor is in his concluding chapter:
Nelson never won q victory more
complete and decisive than that won by
Schley and his subordinate brother Of
ficers and men on that Sd day OF July,
1898, over the Spanish feet commanded
by Rear Admiral Ceryera- Every ship
OF the enemy and man and officer was
captured or destroyed, and through IL
crumbled into dust and destruction the
power Of Spain, which, for more than
900 years, had dominated and oppressed
SO much Of this hemisphere"
Both Of these points Captain Parker
attempts TO prove in his book and ap-
parently has many proofs to offer. AS
q man he is well fitted for this work
for besides being a lifetime friend Of
Schley he understands every techni.
cal point Of naval warfare. He was
Mexican war under Admiral Farragut
was three years on the Mediterranean
station on the United States sloop OF
war st. Louis and then served through
the civil war with distinction.
The book is well written and the au.
thor has the military mans direct style
OF calling a spade a spade which is
pleasant to read. He feels deeply on his
subject and says In conclusion:
orrrEnr fae1G confident that q
careful reading Of this review will dis
pei all misunderstanding Of that cam
paign, a misunderstanding which has
pertinaciously been promulgated in the
effort to convey false impressions in
respect to the principal action Of the
campaign
The book contains portraits of the
author and the three admirals, also
some charts and maps explanatory OF
the text.

is the most conspicuous figure of the
days when France sought empire in
America. His first exploits were against
the English of Hudson bay, whose
settlements he captured after over
coming natural obstacles thought to be
insuperable. He next fought for France
on the gulf OF st. Lawrence and on the
gulf of Mexico, and founded and long
nourished from his private resources
the colony of Louisiana. Coming Of
renowned family, in the daring of his
imagination and the iron strength with
which he nodded lands and men to fit
his dreams, he added to the glory of
his name and did for his country what
Frontenac and La Sale had but con-
ceived.
The story Of his career has never
been brought together with any at
tempt at accuracy or continuity before,
mainly because his activities were SO
various and his brief career was sur
rounded by so much confusion and OBJ
security. 1t Is remarkable, though, that
so little effort has been made to COM
memorate the romantic and adventur-
Gus career of a man whose brave deeds
and high ambition brought wealth, vast
territories and great nonor 10 tnoSe
realms in whose behalf his life was
spent. The author says in his pref
ace:
His feats of endurance and of
achievement were so numerous and so
extraordinary as to be well nigh In
credible If they were not sustained and
vouched for by many unimpeachable
testimonies. Original sources
have been sought out and taken for
the foundation as far as possible
to exhibit the fortunes of the hero in
their relation to contemporaneous his
tory. All veracious material that threw
any light upon the character of Iber-
Vile or his stirring exploits has been
used with the utmost freedom"
The result is a dramatic story which,
as told by DR.. Reed, is one that. apart
from its absorbing intrinsic interest.
