MORE BURIED TREASURE.

THE PIRATE OF PANAMA A Tale Of
the Fight for Buried Treasure. BY
William Macleod Raine limo. PIP. 3l6
The c. w. Dillingham; Company.
The lure Of buried treasure continues
to draw our novelists. The theme Is.
indeed, one whose freshness will not
easily fade, for II lends itself to many
variations within we'll defined general
outlines. There must be a map. Of
course: the Pirate of Panama duly left
one behind him when he departed this
life. 1t is in the right hands at the
beginning Of the story. those Of young
woman. Equally Of course there is
villain, who would possess himself of
this map. the treasure and the lady.
He is a gentleman in the technical
sense OF the word. British ex-army
officer. and when the reader learns that
he is half Russian by descent he will
know how villanously villanous this
villain is, how crafty and how daring.
He cannot ship on the yacht, OF course
since he is known, but that obstacle
does not discourage him. Then there
are the ship and the crew, and the

kennerley.
Mr.. Nincents intentions are Of the
best, and wha; he tells us in this story
Is in large measure true, but il is not
new. That the material comfort of the
workers means increased production for
their employers; that the old ways are
not the best. and that scientific man
agement will yield far better results
all this is the sum and substance Of this
story Of an idlcr who having spent his
years in Europe. finds himself penniless
Mt the age Of thirty-four in his birth
place, Chicago. He must go to work
he hates it--he must find job. His
author proves himself kindly proyi-
dence. enabling him TO benefit the
workers while ultimately convincing his
employer not only of the humanity but
OF the practical, material wisdom OF
the new methods OF this new man,
whose struggle for survival is not
very hard one even in bis darkest days.
The book, indeed, Skins the surface
both as a tract Of the times and as
fiction.

ANOTHER MANS SHOES. BY Victor
Bridges. l2mo, PIP. S2l. The George ii.
Doran Company.
Mr.. Bridges's hero does not lead q
double life. but he leads the-hfe Of a
double for fifteen days. fhat, at least,
is the agreement he/enters upon, but
he is frankly warnfd that he is more
likely to be murdered before the first
twenty-four hours bre past. Thus a
young English advdnturer. fresh from
South America at its widest. becomes
for the moment a gentleman of large
means. with a palace in Park Lane,
London. and confusing assortment of
acquaintance who, enc and all, are
suspicious characters. The plot is
dark and complicated. 1t begins with
a lady with a pistol, who at dead OF
night enters the mansion; It proceeds
with the temporary poisoning Of a
trusty butler and the murderous
treachery of his substitute. Then it
moves TO a shooting party at a country
house, where, OF course, a man may be
shot by mistake; and, when not frus-
trating assassins, the double is kept
busy unravelling a conspiracy to which
the man whose place he has taken pru-
IDENTIFY omitted to give him the clew.
All this has been done before in one
way or another. hut Mr.. Bridges does
it again here with so much vim and in
genuity that his book proves decidedly
good reading

THE PRICE OF LOVE. BY Arnold Ben
nett. Illustrated by c. r. Chambers.
limo, pp. 429. Harper & Bros
One of the best ways of ending
novel is TO bring its characters, and
the reader, face TO face with new
situation. 1t is an ingenious way az
well. because il furnishes the author
with a valid excuse for a sequel; pos
sibly even for trilogy Not that MI
Bennett needs such excuses, for is he
not even now engaged in telling us the
same story from three different view
points? However, what is to the point
here is that no reader OF THE Price Of
Love" will fail to be interested in the
further matrimonial experiences OF Mr..
and Mr.. Louis Fores, who are not likely
TO live happily forever after. even
though she deserves to, and, indeed,
has ample strength of character to
pluck success from the jaws of failure.
And we wish to know the later for
tunes of Julian Maldon--and he self
confessed and repentant thief! In
short, so many threads are gullelessly
left loose that the weaving of them
into later pattern promises well. We
are in the Five Towns. Of course, and it
all began when Mrs. Maldon. much
against her will, kept in her house
overnight a large sum Of money paid
to her after banking hours. Who stole
the money? The reader knows from
the very first, or at least, he thinks
that he does. So does Louisa Fleck-
ring adorable heroineD. And then
things begin to turn out differently.
The story is a delightful bit Of comedy
whose substance lies in its able char
acter drawing. 1t is written with the
consummate ease Of one Of the best
craftsmen of the day.
