 The author. who two years ago won the prize of 250 guineas (s125o) offered by the English publisher Melrose, for the best novel submitted in a competition of which the adjudicators were Mrs. Flora Annie Steele. Miss Mary Cholmondeley and Mrs. Henry de la Pasture. has more than com frmed expectation by her new story She has chosen for the setting of her TO- nance one of the most dramatic periods of history the days of distrust and frenzy that marked the Indian mutny. When the Sepoys who were taken at Cawnpore were asked why they mutinied, they re- plled Surely it was a madness; a wind from the devil was abroad in Hin- dostan. The destructive force of that whirlwind of passion and fanaticism the author describes in a manner that quick ems into living realities her keenly-visual- zed creations. Through the shifting scenes of her tropical setting. through an atmosphere dense with powder smoke, we follow the hero and heroine as they struggle toward an era of better things.

In fact. Hillsboro must be the place for which the Spanish explorers sought when they were trying to locate the fountain of eternal youth.

"A CHAIN or EVIDENCE"

"A CHAIN or EVIDENCE"
 By Carolyn Wells. J. B. Lippincott &s
 Company, Philadelphia.
 Nobody writes eleverer reading matter these days than Miss Carolyn Wells. whose sense of humor is paramount and whose facile pen has contributed verses galore. as we'll as prose writings, to all the leading magazines the country over.
 She has written several novels, and from her pen comes now "A Chain of Ev- idence," in the nature of a detective story. and a rattling good detective story 1t is, too.
 Miss Wells has cleverly constructed her story and woven into couple of hum dred pages a most interesting account of Miss Janet Pembroke and how she be- stances bearing upon the death of her old uncle, which very nearly resulted in her undoing-only 1t didn't. [ Some one entered the Pembroke apart ment and murdered Janets ill-tempered old great uncle. with whom she lived alone.
 Every window was closed and bolted in the apartment and on the door there was a chain.
 Nobody could possibly have gotten in the apartment, unless Miss Pembroke had premeditatedly let them in so 1t seemed. Of course the locked window and the chained door were terrible evidence against the young woman. It looked as If Janet had Killed the old man outright, or else with malice afore- thought allowed some one else to do the dirty work with her sanction. At the inquest the conduct of our hero inc was anything but innocent, and yet all the while she was as guiltless as a child.
 l Of course the murderer Is brought to | justice at last, through the chain on the door. and the mystery is solved to the satisfaction of all those connected with the case.
 l It would appear that if Miss Wells 1 heroine had been a Fresh Air Fiend,, and had slept with the windows and doors of the apartment open, nothing in the murder line would have happened, but then if that had been the case we
 wouldn't have had the story, and A
 Chain of Evidence" is entirely too read able and clever a story not to have been written under just the circumstances that l prompted it.

 MT. Stevens has chosen for the setting of his brilliant and attractively written novel, "The Lure." London and the Nile country, the first part of the story beina laid in London and the last on the Nile.
 The reader is left to conjecture just what MT. Stevens has in mind in "The Lure" which open question always ere ates an interest in a book.
 It may be "The Lure of the hero Ger tainly no more attractive, winning per sonality has ever been given to a man, either In or out of fiction.
 Perhaps it is "The Lure of unknown places to this clever fellow, who is in terested in everything pertaining to ad- venture and mystery, all of which leads him to the Nile country, filled with such environments and wonderful possibilities. The heroine comes in for a share of 'grhe Lure" which, whep all is told, Is summed up in the att/Action that the fascinating Huntley Goss has for her | which is almost irresistible. | His vigorous personality and good hu mored, cynical attitude toward the world and his wonderful enthusiasm which he communicates to others, all combine tc make him very likable.
 He Is starting a magazine, which he tells the heroine is sure to make an ap- peal "to our grand national snobbery, 1 and then he makes some of the most de | lciously sarcastic and clever remarks l concerning "snobs" that could possibly be imagined
 Take my word for it." he declares "snobs are the backbone of any coun- try. The majestic and simple pompositS of the British snob is glorious sign oi national vitality"
 Our heroine is very much captivateo 1 oy the brilliancy of his intellect and his genuine admiration for her is 'The Lure through many an episode, but after al she discovers she is not in love witl | him. but another, and the denouemen of the story is brought about through this | medium.

i the past, Molly has been married to MT. Carter an elderly and pompous person
 who Is now happily dead. leaving her his
 large fortune; and in the present, that
 Molly tends to plumpness. The title has twofold meaning, for Molly expects the return of former lover who has distin-
 guished himself in diplomacy and under
 goes course of dieting and physical training to reduce her to solid flesh that her erstwhile sweetheart may find her
 able to wear the blue muslin frock, with
 It's 2O-inch waist that she was wearing
 when he went away. As the story tells of
 her four or five lovers. and her final sur
 render, the melting is of the heart as well.
 Molly is so winsome, so childish in her
 dimples. that one follows her through her various affairs of the heart with ab- sorbfng interest, and forgives her even her open admiration of her own beauty.
 As she tells the story, and has no one to
 sound her trumpet. she must, perforce, let
 her readers know how pretty she Is and
 how the men succumb to her charms.
 And it is not vain boasting, either, for
 Molly chronicles her story In little red
 book, and that we learn 1t at all is en- tirely owing to Miss Daviess' generosity
 in opening the volume and giving us a
 peek at it's pages.
 It goes without saying that The Melt Ing or MOLLY fs wholesome and the cndt-
 acters are all likable. They are of type which is less homely than that Miss Da- viess has depleted Tn her previous books,
 but they are none the less charming for that. One gets an intimate acduaintance with them, and Billy Moore, the preco- cious young son of the widowered doctor, walks straight into our hearts. Moly's attitude toward this engaging tot Is the proof of her Characteristic she has the
 making of a loving wife and mother, of cuddlesome, comfortable, homehody. Therefore it comes as a lovely surprise when we learn that Molly's lover from over the sea Is not her real lover after
 all but that little Bily's papa, who all the time has lived next door-but read the book. You'll enjoy it more.
 | Despite the joy, the gaiety, the effer- vescence of the story there are many re- factions on mankind, p1 womens hearts. on life in general, that are good reading. | The story runs along so smoothly. with | so much sparkle and spontaneity. that 1t l is as amusing as it is light.

WORK OF THE BEAVERS

The beavers not only cut down
trees for the purpose of making dams,
but also use the smaller upper
branches as storage supply of food
for winter use. These branches, from
two to four diches in diameter, are
cut into lengths of two or three feet
and then by wonderful engineering
ability, are carried beneath the wa
ter and into the beavers houses. or
the burrows, with which the banh OF
every beavers dam is honeycombed,
There they are carefully stored. The
green bark is the staple article OF
food throughout the winter The dams
are of varying height and length, ac-
cording to the particular location.
dam was found in Mesa county. Col
orado, which was just six feet from
bottom to top and impounded body
of water six feet or more in depth and
covering an area of several acres.
This dam was perfect in construction.
1t was composed entirely of willow
bushes, as no larger timber grows in
the vicinity.
