This story is intended as a picture Of
the last phase of the secluded. ieisurely,
dignifed pastoral and agricultural Span
ish life of Southern California. and IF
its disappearance before the advent Of
the energetic practical American after
the completion of the first transconu-
mental railroad. ia mark the contrast
between the old with its courty, ro-
mantle Castlian traditions and points
of view and honor. and the practical new
seeking wealth the author uses anti
thesis to an extent that Is hardly fiat
tering nor altogether just To the in
vaders. In fact. he decidedly favors the
old settlers at the expense Of their sue
cessors. The decline Of the missions
ha1 begun long before with the secular
ization of their lands by the Mexican
government, but their" last phase, too.
is worked into the picture, in the person
of a Spanish priest The plot is amaz-
ingly melodramatic; in fact, there Is
considerably too much of it to give full
weight TO the authors historic purpose.
The subject is a romantic one, and IT
has the merit of being practically new
in our fiction.

This is uncompromising realism from
the pen of one who grew up in the midst
of the life Of which he wrote. The Stun.
drunkenness, the police court crime,
"the Island" mission and settlement
work in New York-these are the topics
around which he has woven the story Of

not a mans alone, but hers as we'll.
owen Kildare knew the life of the sub
merged. and came to know the efforts
that are made to ameliOrate their con-

arraignment Of the mistakes of much
philanthropic work, .of an unconsclously
repellent spirit of wrong means applied
to noble ends OF this, too, he wrote
much i'm the course of his career, but his
picture Of the crusaders against vice
and crime in these pages is tinged with
bitter prejudice. The story is not the
thing in this book. It's author had once
more to serve a purpose, and he has
served il before the conventional and
not too convincing end is reached.
