just started.
OF her three books, Promise" the
first to be written and published, is by
far the most ambitious, planned on
scale that suggests at least a trilogy.
It Is a sympathetically Interpretation

turns over a new leaf. She abandons

The same method is found in Her

seems to be the better one for her sue
cess. and certainly a shorter road to
recognition by larger circle OF read
ers In both books the author deals
with the situation and the problems
Of the young girl facing the world
alone. In lie Gentleman" we have an
appealing study OF a brave, sensible
young Frenchwoman facing the havoc
of her life through a cruel misunder-
standing; Herself" Is a young Irish
girl, earning her livelihood as teacher
in a private school in Paris, and later
as an amanuensis in England. She IS
handicapped by q rowing, irresponsible
father; SANDER touches her through the
romantic love Of a cousin for whose
fortunes she feels herself responsible.

pany.
The defect Of the average novelsts
quality to-day is something which
might be specifically described as con-
ventionallty but is really more accu-
rately defined as a sort Of professional
ism. Hundreds Of writer's, of all shades
Of cleverness. disclose much the same
technical aptitude. With them fiction
is obviously a trade. 1t is perhaps the
very prevalence OF the type which in
clines us to look the more sympatheti-
calIy upon the rare Tomancer who Is,
by contrast, only an amateur. Such
romancer is Mr.. John Buchan. He has
had. IL is true, plenty OF experience.
This new collection Of his short stories
is not by any means the first book we
have had from his hand. But in it he
preserves the SAVIOR Of an unspoied
talent, writing, TO some extent at
least, as only the good story teller
writes, because he cannot help him.
self.
1t does not matter that some Of his
stories are rather long drawn out or
that one or two Of them, such as "A
Lucid Interval" and THE Green Glen"
will not do at all. The main point Is
that he gives US several narratives that

little masterpiece. Long ago in Black
woods Magazine II left this impress
sion, and now on a second reading 1t
seems a finer achievement. This is a
glimpse into the past, into ancient
Greek history; but II has the reality OF
a tale based on contemporary observa-
ton, and the realism Of the thing is
saturated In poetic charm. Mr.. Buchan
which he has injudiciously scattered
through his book, but in the substance
of his imaginative stories-in their sub
stance and in their atmosphere. The
Grove of Ashtaroth," a strange tale OF
an African millionaire with Semitic
blood in his veins, is superb in It's dem
onstration of the witchery to be got
out OF the life of so prosaic a type
when accident touches the development
of that life. Mr.. Buchan has, too, a
picturesque vein Of humor, illustrated
In the first Of his stories, THE Com
pany Of the Marjolaine." Does the
reader reject at the outset the idea that
three Americans of the Revolutionary
period would have sought to bring
home a member Of the House of Stuart
to reign over us as our king? Let him
read this story OF Mr.. Buchan's and
see what true artist can make Of a
preposterous theme. This author has
among his other faults a taste for
metaphysical complexities which
scarcely harmonic with the conditions
essential to a good short story. But he
has in him a magic which triumphs
over all his faults.
