from The Spectator the text, HBut
there. is one chink in the chain armonr

conducted on the assumption that mur.

all Of Mrs. Lowndes's novels. there ia
much dramatic intensity, abundant ac.

reckless courage. The characters pre.
sented are a beautiful English widow
Russian princess, French nobIeman
who. is professional gambler, and n
mysterious old couple, all meeting at q
gay little French watering place. and
becoming entaDgled in series of fra.

the, sort Of complication where the

work is, in our Judgment, the best Of
her productions. 1t is certainly one of
abundant entertainment an dintcrest.
and the reader who begins it will be

difficulties and calls for audacity, and
this audacity finds its means and its
scope, The story hinges upon a gigan-
tic struggle between opposing financial
interests in New York, which fight to
obtain possession of a Northwestern
railroad system. A young newspaper
man. Ashmore. appears at the opening
Of the story in the Long Island home
Of Jessup Craven, leader of one side
TO the fight, but who is nt the point OF
death. Ashmore is persuaded to i'm.
personate Craven 3 son who is missing,
and thus represent him and make pos.
sible the continuance of the Craven in.
huence and the use of the Craven
money in the conflict that is on hand.
The opposition, however, kidnaps him:
but he makes a fight and escapes, and
is. later on. the main agency through
which the Farnum crowd Is cleaned out
on one of the biggest days of Wall
street. There is sudden and unex-
pected development also with regard to
Ashmore. and altogether the story is
one of originality and freshness. and Is

by Katharine Berry Judson. Illus

This author has taken much pains to
get at the viewpoint of the Indians
of Southern California and of the
Southwest country generally She has
made it matter of personal study, and
has taken In the whole range Of the
region from southern Arizona to north
ern California. The myths of the In
dian tribes are shown to be connected,
in large numbers of cases they are the
same. sometimes with notifications and
sometimes practically in agreement.
These myths relate to the animals and
to the vegetabl growths. The Corn
Maidens, the Seed People, and, in fact,
the myths of the productive, fruitful
agencies Of nature, are chiefly Of the
Zuni or Moqui origin, while the myths
relating to the animals, as the foxes,
coyotes, and bears, are from the more
northerly tribes, and are probably re-
lated to the totem systems of Alaska,
The work in this volume is very faith
fully done, and the author deserves
credit for the fine presentations that

This is an Indiana story. having
for its hero Hiram Blair, a horse
trader. big, rawboned. powerful, nat
ural born horse dealer. He is illiter-
ate and uncouth in a way, but he has
plenty OF shrewd wit, and is the DOM

an astute. adroit politician, loving the
game for it's own sake, and not more
scrupulous than others in his methods.
He has good vein of genuine humor,
which leads him to utter a number Of
sentiments very much like those at

says, Eff st. Paul wuz to come back
