THE HIGH ADVENTURE. BY John OK
enham. l2no, PIP 520. Dufied 4 Co.
The diplomatist Of fiction has a pre-
dilection for getting into scrapes and
law-breaking adventures that in real
life he would evade as he would the
plague, success in his career depending
To 50 great an extent on circumspect
behavior, However, here is a young at
tache of the British Embassy in Paris
who, on a brief holiday in Switzerland,
joins and forwards the plot Of Rus
sian woman, unknown to him. To release
her sister from prison. The sister ii
appears, had killed Russian govern
ment official i'm Gcnnva-a rcprehcnsible
abuse, by the way. Of the political hospi-
tally of the little republic. II is autumn:
the tourist season is over; the hotels are
empty; woman cmployc in the prison
has been bribcd-all is propitious. The
young diHlomatist, modern knight
Grant, manages ii all. and. the woman
once rescued, starts with her and her
sister. both disguised i'm mems clothes
Tor the frontier by unfrequented noun
tain paths. There is pursuit, of course.
danger Of detection and arrest faces
them everywhere; the romance and tho
adventure arc not without their comedy
Of narrow escapes from minions of the
law long familiar To musical comedy. 1t
is all done with vim, entertainingly and
almost Convincingly, growing love ac-
Companying two of the three fugitiyes
along the exceedingly rough paths Of
the Alps. Whence it may be concluded
that there is happy ending. even
though its consummation requires still
another assassination in far-Or Siberia

Considering its subject-hereditary in

story on the whole. II tells the lives OF
two generations. Of father and son. OF an
old-fashioned wife and mother and her

who, having ascertained the facts, de-
cides tn run the risk Of the "eccentricity'
of the family that through several cen
turies has manifested itself only late In
life. thus allowing the race to survive
from generation 10 generation. The
modern woman stands by her bargain
like the old-fashioned one. with this
difference however. that In her case the
mental Inheritance is broken at last, as
was foreseen by the great alienist who
was call.d In for both father and son.
There is no display Of psychopatholOgy.

she has not written learned treatise In

the advantages that gloom and mystery,

day, ultra modern, in the open, perfectly
we'll known TO the neighbors, who have
inherited the tradition of the queer
ness" Of the Javelins as part of the his
tory of their corner Of the kingdom.
The first manifestation Of the taint is a
passive hostility toward the wife, a total
exclusion OF her by the husband from all
his interests. The further developments
are an unknown quantity, though ac-
cording to the quaint family book to
which the priest Of the parish alone has
the key, they have never run TO violence.
In the case Of the last bearer Of the faint

shape of the world. II is doubtful II this
