In its own gossamer, romantic way

one-that of the love of a daughter Of

hides him from searching parties. All
this has q familiar sound. wherefore 1t

Of the plot without adding that it's adorn-
ment OF romance and the alarums of war

We talk of "book plays" so why not

speaking Of "play books" as well. IN
artistic merit the two hybrids, the TWO
minglngs OF two widely varying tech
niques, about balance each other, but IL
should not be forgotten that the con-
version Of books into plays is far more
difficult achievement than the reverse
process OF turning plays into books. Mt.

THE REASON WHY. BY Elinor Glyn.
Illustrations by Edmund Frederick
12mo. PIP. S7S. d. Appleton & Co.
A new generation of novel readers has
sprung up since Mrs. Wister translated
Miss Marlitt's Second Wife" and
Georges Ohnet wrote THE Iron Master"
only two of many novels based upon the
old plot Of the marriage begun In hatred
and ending in great love and perfect
understanding. It is q good plot still,
which for many must have reacquired
the charm Of novelty. Mrs. Glyn en-
ploys It in this story Of hers with as
much glitter Of exalted rank and riches
beyond the dreams OF avarice as the
most romantic Of her predecessors. She
has made It more Of this earth and less
Of the spirit than did the sentimental
German spinster or the French novelist
so cleverly appealing TO sentimentality,
but that, no doubt, will not initiate
against for modern readers, accustomed
to the shibboleth Of temperament"
And so this foreign bride Of an English
peer, herself Of even more exalted II
irregular ancestry, stalks through these
pages, sinuous "black panther" on the
defensive against the man who, she be-
lieves. has married her for wealth, and
whom she has wed for the sake Of the
welfare of one dear to her.

Mr.. Henry James, in his Forthcoming
novel, "The Cutlery" has dealt with
question much discussed Of late in Eng

works Of art be expected to hold them
in trust for the nation, and In what de-

is a question which in its intricacies

James.

A novel plan is that of Rev. John
Thompson, pastor Of Methodist
church in Wheaton, ILL.,, to induce
young sweethearting couples to do
their counting in the church pews. in
stead Of repairing to Objectionable
ice-cream parIors, etc. He will allow
young people to stay late, with a big
room and piano in part Of the church
and 100 pews in which they can sit
at their ease.
There is no better place in the
world for young persons to do their
counting in than a church." said the
pastor. 81 believe in matchmaking
that Is, the right kind of matchma-
king. I think that every church
should make provision for upright
young men and good young women to

that they could fall in love with each

This talk about dinners at lobster

MINERS TRYING EXPERIENCE

To have been almost buried alive
and forced to keep in one position for
20 hours on end was the trying
experience of George Hill, a miner,
at Peak Hill, N. s. W. Hill with two
others, had to put in a shot, which
caused slide. He was carried along
with the earth into an old working.
His mates got down and succeeded in
removing seven feet Of earth from
his head, but they found it dangerous
to continue, as the earth was liable
to come in and smother them. They
decided to put in a drive at the back
of the $50 foot level. After II hours
of hard work they opened the
wall at his head. 1t then took three
hours to remove the debris away to
get him out, the greatest care having
to be exercised to prevent the loose
stuff smothering him. A rope was
attached to Hill, and at last he was
pulled out amidst the hearty cheers of
his fellow-miners.

PEELED HIS WAY OVER OCEAN

There are variety Of ways Of work

the plan adopted by C. Pullman, Of st.
Louis, doubtless establishes a prece-
dent. Mr.. Pullman, a young man OF
education, crossed the Atlantic in the
first cabin with some $4,000 in cash
to meet the expenses of a short So
journ in Europe. He had neglected
to secure his return passage. His liV-
ing expense in London and Paris
proved higher than anticipated, and
the Atlantic presented a formidable
barrier to his return home. Mr.. Pull
man was obliged to forego the lux
uries of a first cabin, second, or even
third cabin, and finally shipped as a
peeler of potatoes on the President
Lincoln. By crossing in first cabin
and returning in the scullery, Mr..
Pullman doubtless established a new
sea record of its kind.

FISH CAPER WHEN DRUNK

CAS- drunk as a fish" is a common
expression, but not many people ever
saw fish drunk. However, those who
attended a temperance demonstration
by E. F. Sutherland of Columbus,
Ind, were permitted to see intoxicat-
ed fish. Sutherland placed fish in a
tank of water and added alcohol to
the water. In a little while the fish
began cutting capers that would have
surprised any self-respecting mem
Der of the finny tribe. By and by the
alcohol became too strong for the
fish, and they started to turn on their
backs. Sutherland saved their lives
by transferring them to fresh water.
They were soon sober, and apparent
