Merrick is not estab lished on this side
cf the water it will not be the fault OF
the publisher who. with exemplary en-
thusiasm, is rapidly giving US all Of
those writings. The newest instalment
consists of another batch OF short
stories. very like those that have come
before. Mr. Merrick has at least three
serviceable strings TO his bow. lie can
tell a tale of Bohemia in the right Ste
yensonian vein OF whimsical romance.
He can handle q theme of mundane gen
timent with all the adrCit lightness o.
touch which we associate with Mr. Rich
ard Harding Davis. And Of the humors,
tender or farcical, of modern theatrical
life he can make the most with skill
and a fancy that are sufficiently his own.
Several Of his French types reappear on
this occasion. Tricotrin and Pitou. those
incurable optmists, and TO the credit or
his ingenuity be it said their new ad-
ventures are really new. His stage folk.
too. are put through their PAGES with
certain freshness. Here and there In
the collection there are clever strokes o.
chara q erization. but these are not pre-
cisely what we read Mr.. Merrick for IN
this instance. We read him for the
nimble movement Of affairs in these
stories. for the things that happen t.
his people. The book makes good sum

Ii seems long time since We have had
any trahichngs with the hot-tempered
mariner whose lips nevertheless persist
entity refrain from sullying Mr.. cut
cliffe Hyne's pages with any expletiVc
more pungent than the one cited above
this review. 1t is so long that we have
forgotten whether Captain Kettle was
married or not when we last met him.
Hence. it is a little difficult to make odt
whether this is a wholly rev book or an
old one long kept in manuscript and now
for the first time put into print. The
nuestion obtrudcs itself the more be-
cause THE Marriage Of Captain Kettle
is not. TO tell the truth, quite as good IL
book as II ought to be. IL Is little TOO
long for its substance, and the plot puts
n strain lust q shade too severe upon
the readers credulity. Still, 1t is per
haps hardly fair to take the adventures
of Captain Kettle with any seriousness.
The record OF them makes, after all, no
pretence to literary weight Mr. Hyro
opens the tale with an entirely prepos-
ferrous situation. and, having done so. he
is doubtless well advised In letting him
self go and in hustling his hero through
an equally incredible series Of perilous
transactions. The perils are there, OF
course, merely to show the intrepidity
and aplomb of Master Kettle In tackling
them and his ineffable success In turn
ing them all to his own advantage. An
absurd book, and. by the same token.
