LITERARY NOTES.

Being the author of the best-sell-
ing novel in America is the distinc-
tion that belongs to John Brecken-
ridge Ellis, writer of Plattsburg,
Missouri. Mr.. Ellis is the author of
Fran" one of the late spring books,
which from the time of its publica-
tion has been warmly received, and
which now heads the list of the six
best sellers by generous margin
Although he is Still young man,
MIR. Ellis has for many years been
close student of literature, and was
at one time professor of English lit
erature in Plattsburg College, an in
stitution of which his father was
president.
In Fran" Mr.. Ellis tells story
which, although out of the ordinary,
is, nevertheless, reflection of hui
man life, and he develops a situation
which holds the interest of the read
er in vice-like grip. From the mo-
ment the heroine makes her appear
ance one instinctively senses that
there is mystery about her, and as
this mystery is unfolded little by
little, the interest grows and is sus-
tanned until the final pages are
| reached.
Mr.. Ellis has been daring in that
he has made "Fran" so entirely un-
conventional, but it is this very un-
conventionality which makes the
character strong and sets it off in
marked contrast to the other charac-
ters of the tale. And again, the au-
thor has made a direct appeal to
general interest in making his
strange little heroine circus per-
former.
Despite the fact that the circus is
one of the oldest forms of amuse-
ment, and there are few towns so
small that they are not visited by a
circus every year or so, there is no
class of people so little known as
those who inhabit the circus world,
and who are seen by the public only
as they appear in the ring. They
seem different from others-a caste
by themselves, for their only contact
with the world at large is when they
are appearing in an artificial atmos-
phere. The ordinary man or woman
is prone to forget that beneath the
tights and spangles, the blare and
whoop-la, circus people are just as
human as other people, just as low
ing and kindly and are governed by
the same impulses.
OF these is Fran" and with fine
and sympathetic touches the author
has given his readers a wonderfully
! true study of a circus woman as she
appears away from her everyday
work. Mr. Ellis has never been as
sociated with circuses or circus per
formers, and that he has succeeded
so admirably in the portrayal of thi:
character is owing to the unusual in
sight he has into human nature, an6
his ability to read character at sight
Before his book was published the
manuscript was sent to a newspaper
man who was for long time con
nected with Americas greatest circu!
as a press representative. After read
! ing the story this man, who knew
circus people thoroughly, expressed
himself as believing that Fran" re
! flected more truly the real circu!
spirit than any other book which hal
ever been written on this subject.
