Suggestions he made for increasing

SOME EXCELLENT SHORT STONES
Of Oriental Seas By Lincoln Co'cosd.
[SpringAeld, Mass, Republican,

Those who read Lincoln Colcord's vivid
and fascinating sea story, "The Drifting
Diamond, last spring, will be Interested
in learning that Lee Flu Chang, the inn
perturbable Chinese merchant so promi-
nent in it, was not an original creation
in that story. He had already partici-
pated for number of years, in conspicu-
GUS roles in variety of short stories by
Mr.. 'Colcord. These have just been pub
lished by the Macmillan company in one
volume bearing the title of the first OF
the number, The game of Life and
Death" $Q.25j. These stories confirm
the impression of MIR. Colcord's other
book that he has the true instinct of the
sea romancer. He inspires the feeling
that the moods of the sea and elements
are something more than the result of
mere atmospheric disturbances. He en-
doWs them with combative impulses
pits them against mans ingenuity in
battle for his destruction or his success
full riding out of their supremest efforts.
And he makes his readers see these COM
bats in all their vivid colors. But there
is more in these stories than the terrors
of typhoons and the skill of sailing mas
Iers. Mr.. Colcord's principal field of ac-
lion is the far Ease. His fancy flows
from Canton and Hongkong down to
Singapore and the islands of the south
Pacific. There is no more romantic and
mystery suggesting coast line in the
world than this. And the stories prove
the truth of it. In the main they are
narrated from the experiences of cap
tains in the Chinese coasting trade. One
or Two have to do with the more prosaic
Atlantic, but in large part the reader Is
thrilled by the little-known terrors of the
Orient Lee Flu Chang is conspicuous in
many OF them. MIR. Colcord pictures
this bland, resourceful representative OF
the intelligent Asiatics with remarkable
clarity. One can feel Lees sense of
superiority over the money mad, super
ficlal occidental, sympathize with his
pride of race and its enduring qualities,
and understand his philosophy of fatal
ism. The Measure of man. en-
bodies Lees estina ate of the ruling
classes of the West, and it is so wildly
told that one cannot but pause and think
on our economic and governmental prob
lens. The whole group of stories are
so rich in interest that to analyze one is
to slight the other. They are colorful
and intimate, and arouse a variety of
emotion, rarely possible in present-day
fiction

The roads they have built under the di-

Shortly after we left the canyon ruffied
grouse paraded through the roadside
bushes, seemingly safe in the knowledge
that the law went "on" that day. The
temptation was great, but we were
mindful of the fate of prominent Boze-
man lawyer last season and drove on. A
certain eminent member CT the Bozeman
bar, who was out in his car the day be-
fore the season opened, saw a grouse and
shot it. Unwisely he dropped into his
club on the way home and displayed his
trophy to a group of fellow member
which included a game warden, who
promptly proceeded to do his duty. Mr..
Lawyer was arrested and fined $25. He
was not allowed to forget the incident,
either, and when his fraternal organiza-
ton was putting on a minstrel show,
sometime later, he told them if they said
a word about him he would leave the
order forthwith. They did not say a
word, but one of the features of the
show was pantomime participated in
by large man, very tiny chicken, a
huge rifle and burly minion of the law.
little farther along a little rabbit
hoped out and gave our tenderfoot an
opportunity to try her luck with the %.
'Buck fever" was the result, however,
and ''cotton tail' hoped away to join
"Flopsy, Mopsy and Peter" in their
home under the roots of the big fir tree,
so we'll described by Beatrix Potter. AS
we came out into the valley the sun was
setting, and a mass of clouds in the
western sky held their wonderful color
for almost an hour. A soft gray on top.
with lining shaded from taupe to Or
ange and bronze, the mass changed into
fantastic shapes, and almost rivalled
the climbing moon in brilliancy. AS we
swung into Main street the street lights
looked like festooned jewels against the
blue velvet background of the late twi-
light and the picture was pretty one
with which to close our book of memo
ries of a delightful day in the open.
