THE QUEST OF THE FISH-DOG SKIN.
By James Willard Schultz, author OF
Sinopah the Indian Boy" etc IL
lustrations by George Varfan. Bos-
A good Indian story will capture any
real boy. And this is a good one. Mr..
Schultz knows both his Indian and his
boy. as more than one of his tales Of
adventure prove. The two boys of this
story-the Indian lad. P1tamakan, and
Tom Fox, the white boy-are old
friends, for these are the two who got
lost in the Rockies, and whose ex-
periences there came out in With the
Indians in the Rockies" The story in
hand sets the same two Off in search
of the fsh-dog skin, the medicine
animal, whose hide is to cure the sore
sickness of old Stone Arrow. The quest
takes them far. as far as quite across
the Rockies and up to the mouth Of
the Columbia river. And every day of
the quest is packed and brimming over
with hazards and thrills Of manifold shape
and urgent impulse. There is the wild
country to traverse, and game to kill for
in turn seeking food. Indians Of both the
friendly and unfriendly sort to meet or
to avoid, and every kind of unfriendly
weather to placate. The story races
ture and comes to a triumphant close
with old Stone Arrow praying to the
dried seal skin that is to work the miracle
Of health upon him.

Indeed. Richter invented an entire world
which he peopled charmingly. No doubt
his drawings strongly Influenced the
painters of the school Of Knaus and Frere,
and the. illustrators not only of his own
day, but of our own. 1t must be confessed
that his illustrations are more enjoyable
when seen in the books and with the text
for which they were produced-all true
illustrations must be-than when viewed
in separate sheets as pictorial material.
But in the books they can scarcely be
publicly exhibited.
We pride ourselves a good deal today on

without reason. but when one turns the

the whole series is fair summary Of the

his lifework should also be engraving,
but the lad had a great eagerness for
painting. However. he learned to en-
grave. In 1923 he availed himself of an

the spell Of Italy. In 1926 he returned to
Germany, but. like other painters of his
day, continued to yearn for the atmos-
phere he had left-the land Of art tradi-

married by then. he took a position as
master in a school of art conducted in
