THE FOREST OK THE HILL. by Eden

Lane Company.
There is mechanical quality I'm Mr..
Philipotts's latest story OF Dartmoor
and its people that places it considera-
bly, below his best work, these fine
achievements OF his that long ago
awakened high hopes OF him as Thomas
Hardy's successor This early promise
he has never fulfilled, but he has none
the less made for himself worthy
place in the record Of contemporary
English fiction that IL literature. Trag-
edy is " hat he ever seeks, and finds
the tragedy of the direct. bare struggle
with Nature, Of the clash and contest
Of character. and of the iuscrutable
ways OF a fate which, In his interpre-
tation, IS pagan rather than Of our
own day. All this we find once more
in The Forest OF the Hill" and the
once moro" Il insistent. stu more. II
is reminiscent OF Mr.. Phillpotts's
earlier books. II is not a question Of
the consistency Of and the persistence
in his view Of life, but Of the means
by which he conveys them-of the
technical trick. the mechanism and ar
ticulations OF his plot. Like plot, like
chara Ctcrs. They are, no doubt true TO
the native stock. but yet they strike US
less forcibly as DartmoOr people than
as Mr.. Phillpotts's people, still worth
knowing in their thoughts and feelings

VICTIMS OF THE LAW.

MAYFIEID. BY Vincent Brown. 12mo,
pp. 800. Brentano's.
II has long been known, and much
discussed, that the high cost OF divorce
I'm England places 1t beyond the reach
OF the poor, with consequences that
have often served as material for fic-
ton as we'll as for social and moral
remonstrances. Dickens touched upon
the subject long ago in Hard Times"
but things move slowly In the kingdom,
and, though some relief has been
wrought recently, the topic still re-
mains a burning one. Mr.. Brown takes
1t up In this story of working woman
In London, married TO an habitual
criminal, but loving, and loved by, an
honest, manly carpenter. Only one
way is open to them. and they take 1t
IN the end, In the face OF the woman's
profound respect for social convention,
rather than for the secular law; still
more, In the face OF her generation foe
the laws Of the Church. The case is
oNiI INii'l ny HltdI
missionary In the slums and by the
young settlement worker who is In love
with him, these two struggling. as they
firmly believe, for the salvation of the
woman's soul. The curious mixture Of
frank acceptance OF things matrimo-
NAL as they are by the English lower
classes with their cruel persecution, in
the name OF "decency," OF the woman
who takes her fate In her own hands
is in the present case complicated with
rancorous Jealousy The author cuts
the knot In the end in n crudely melo-
dramatic way. But he makes his point.

pioneering campaign. To dwell with

Sir Gilbert Parker, whose pen has

novel which he calls THE Judgment

The Reading Of Women.
The eminent surgeon Sir James

an hypothesis which it may be difficult

that I'm women the posterior region OF
