After Mrs. Roosevelt and the mem
hers Of the Roosevelt family had taken
their places IN the special box. and
after the revenue cutters had disem-

public had taIksd for months: il was

and these had received the pIaudlts Of
the multitude because Of their military
prOwess.
Welcome by Gaynor.
Theodore Roosevelt came merely as a
private citizen, with the added distinc-
ton Of being the only living former
President Of the United States.
Bands played. thousands cheered; even
those who could but see Thea colonel,
who caught not even an echo Of the
things said up 'front.' gave way 10 the
frenzy Of the moment.
When a sembauCe Of quiet was re-
stored Mayor GaynOr formally wei

people Of New York as well as the pco-

Roosevelt said a few words in reply. His
appreciation was heard by but few OF

and invoke their imagination.

THE RUSSIAN ROAD TO CHINA. BY
Lindon Bates, tr. Illustrated from
photographs. Boston: Houghton-
Miffiin Company.
Thwarted in its endeavor to reach the
open sea by way of lower Manchuria,
Russia may turn to another route, the
ancient caravan road which leads from
the neighbOrhOod of Irkutsk through
Mongolia, across the Cobb desert and into
China proper. This is the theme of Mr.
Bates presentation, which possesses the
unusual defect of tantalizing brevity. 1t
is disappointing to be carried over a sec
ton Of the projected route, under the Wv
tourist manager, and then to be suddenly,
without warning. dropped at Urga, on the
edge OF the great desert. 1t is obvious
that Mr. Bates travelled over the road to
Urga, first by way of the TransSiberian
railway, then by sledge to the Monaghan
border and along the final stage of his
journey by tarantass. No such account OF
a tour in foreign land could have been
written from hearsay versions. The rail-
way travel across Siberia has become
somewhat familiar through various rem
derings Mr.. Bates throws into his narra-
tive a fresh quality of clever character
description, suggestive of the political
conditions of the cars great hinterland.
From Irkutsk southwark the way Is new.
1t Is not particularly interesting from the
point of view of scenic attractiveness. In
tense cold and deep SHOWS dominate. The
inhabitants of this bleak region are a
mixture of Russians and Buriats-whom
the Russo-Siberians call "Bratskies,' or

the traveller at every point. and the jour-
ney is made as easy as the natural condi-
lions permit. In Mongolia the author
found a people quite different from any
others he had met. the Mongols gentle,
hospitable. sociable. delightful men and
women. whose felt tents were always open
to the wayfarer. Between them and their
political masters. the Chinese, is wide
gulf. Mr.. Bates has little occasion to
praise the latter. who are deliberately ex-
plotting Mongolia without giving anything
whatever to the nomads, descendants OF
the once great people Of the interior
plains who ruled the eastern world.

stretches the Cobb desert to the great
wall of China. Across this vast plain
plod the camels of the caravans. and
some day, according to Mr.. Bates pro-
phetic vision. it will be traversed by a
line of rails linking Russia with Picking.
Will the car so contrive? Can China
hold together until the Russians thus
knock at the back door? These are qhes-
lions no less interesting than those az

eyes open. The SAVIOUR Of something
good to eat was already in his nostrils.

looked around.

Looking fairly at him as he sat there
on the bunk she saw his hands clutch
tightly over the edge OF it; saw the color
go ebbing out of his face and then come

do that once before.

asked.

Her gesture included the feathered

elders, which hung In row from line

an extremely heterogeneous collection of
articles upon the shelves which he had
rescued from the rubbish heap in the

the greater part of II. Perhaps the most
valuable object he had found was a

VERA OF THE STRONG HEART. BY
Marion Mole. New York: G. P. Put
MANS Sons.
A prize story. one reads, wondering why.
descent of devils, its ladies mere rags of
perpetuation-is the ground upon which
the twentieth century heroine projects
herself, possessed by the impossible pur-
pose of reviving this sapped- out house
by the infusion of new blood-hers. One
of the twin sons of this lordly house, a
cripple, is to be the medium of this re-
Mobilization. An unparalleled twinship
between these young Cegenerares, a twin
ship finally superior to domestic and pa
ternal ties, moves the story puzzleward.
A discovered uncertainty as to the order
in which this precious pair presented
themselves to an afflicted house tangles
matters still further in line of title and
heirship. The heroine, fatuous of pur-
pose, but by contrast a wholesome crea-
ture, swaggers and Swears and smokes
herself into the ladyship of this sickly
house In the short course OF events she
achieves daughter-heaven knows what
