Herman Whnaker's Gross Trails
Clear-c cut Drama of Human Emotions

of men add grim reality to the issue.
Through it all Gabrielle comes to
learn what constitutes genuine worth
in a man.
Something of this she learns from
Nelson, the huge foreman-a very
Viking of a man, but gentle as a
woman-something from Miles, the
warm hearted Irish cook whose fight
ing spirit is as keen as his wit; but
most she learns from Templeton, the
English clerk, a man whom she
trusts. to her hurt, recklessly leading
him on to the danger-point, only to
find that it is her husband and her
husband only whom she loves. At
tempting flight with Templeton, she
discovers his shallowness. Then a
worse side of his nature manifests
itself. and, leaving him on the trail,
she drives back through the storm,
to find Terrier coolly facing a mutiny
of his men that threatens the direst
consequences.
Mr.. Whitaker writes with a
straightforwardness and quiet actu-
ality that carry conviction. The mo-
tives of the people in his story are
natural and genuine. Gabrielle and
Terrier combine impulse and self
restraint in a way that wins both
respect and sympathy. Throughout
the exciting narrative the author
portrays the effect of great stress
upon normal people whose emotions
one can share. The reader puts
himself right into the place of each
of the principal characters, and so
feels the full reality of the crises
they face.
But one thing remains to be said
| of the book, an addendum to the
subject of the problems which the
above review mentions. This is the
awakening of sexual passion in the
heart of Gabrielle Ferrier. She had
| left her husband Immediately after
/ her marriage because at the very
! beguiled put into her arms the
child of which her bridegroom was
/ the father.
( 1t must be admitted that Gabrielle
/ was justified when her love for Fer
/ rier was quenched, and at once in
4 her heart was born an overwhelming
/ feeling of aversion for the man she
! had married.
But in the north woods she meets
an Englishman and soon feels for
! him the warmth of passion of a
/ healthy, well-eonditioned, beautiful
woman. Then she thinks again of
her husband and his fault, and she
+ is compelled to say of him, 1T was
but natural" In this part of his
book the author has shown a rare
insight into the feelings and instincts
of feminine heart

health which both the poet and the
actor are enjoying.
The friendship which has existed
between James Whitcomb Riley and
Otis Skinner may be said in part at
least, to have resulted from their
mutual interest in dramatic work. If
Mr. Riley never achieved a place
among the professional theatrical
celebrities, it was because he did not
have the inclination. The story is
told of a visit he once made to Lon
don when he was the guest of honor
at a banquet given by Sir Henry Irv-
ing, the great English star and
Couquelin, the famous French TRACE
dian. After the dinner, Mr.. Riley was
called upon to recite some Of his com.
positions, and after he had completed,
Sir Henry Irving is said to have
turned to NJ. Couquelin and remarked,
when this man refused to take the
boards in earnest, the American stage
lost its greatest actor"
Yes" the Frenohman replied, "for
he has naturally what such as you
and I, my friend, have worked years
to attain and are not sure even now
that we have achieved"
Since they first became acq4aint-
ed. Mr.. Riley has followed Mr.. Skin
ner's career with the greatest inter
est-in fact. Mr. Skinner has often
come to him for counsel. During his
last visit to the poets home, Mr..
skinner carried with him the script of
a new play and spent an entire aft
ernoon going over it with the poet.
Mr.. Skinner, likewise, is keen ad-
mirer of Riley and is said to nave
one of the finest collection of Riley
books in America. Whenever a new
volume of Riley poetry is published
a copy of the first printing, auto
graphed by the poet, is Immediately
sent to his actor friend.

II is not often that a review of a
book comes from the publisher of it
IN a shape to make it available for
use in newspaper without change.
Besides, the proprietor of a news
paper pays his reviewer to present
10 the public a careful judgment of
work free from any prejudice in
its favor that the critic of the pub
Usher may have.
But in the case of the review sent
out by the Messrs. Harper of their
recent publication, Gross Trails "
one cannot but accept it. 1t is so
complete an analysis of the novel,
II so clearly points out the merits
of the author, Herman Whitaker,
hat 1t would be a work of superer-
ogation to attempt to write any
thing else about the book. Here is
the review:
Herman Whitaker's new novel,
"Cross Trails which Harper &
Brothers recently published, is an
other of those clear-cut dramas of
human emotion set against the back
ground of mans unending struggle
with nature, such as this author
gave us in 1.-THE Planter" THE Set
tier" and 1.-THE Mystery of the Bar
ranca." In Gross Trails" the scene
is a lumber camp in far-off Mani

the year in which the Canadian Pa
