A PRISON TRAGEDY.

The author Of this brief novel is un-
questionably in earnest in his denun-
citation OF the evils and abuses that,
according to common report, prevail in
the administration Of our prisons and
the treatment Of convicts. In how far
the story is based on facts we are not
told. 1t has a melodramatic note. but
that serves well the purpose Of arous-
ing the reader. In this prison, which
is not named, but can readily be iden-
titled, the whole staff. from the warden
downward, is banded together In a
conspiracy of malfeasance. cruelty and
silence. Even the chaplain is acqui-
escent. Only the prison doctor stands
between the victims and their oppres-
sors. wherefore 1t is necessary that his
to bring about his discharge. The vic
tim is a young bank cashier and here
In leading up to his temptation and
fall, the author Is at his weakest. As
social satirist he is given to exag-
geration, TO distortion OF the proper
lions. No doubt the extravaganza, the
social aspiration OF thoughtless wives
Is often the cause OF their husbands

THE BEST MAN. BY Grace Livingston

Hoskins. 12mo, PIP 304. Philadelphia:
The j. B. Ltppincott Company
Cyril Gordon, Of the Secret Service, is
ordered by his chief to recover from a
band Of desperate criminals a stolen
cipher dispatch. He starts forthwith
for New York, giving the reader on
the way thither the impression that he
is not in the least the man for the
dangerous undertaking. He is ap-
parently unable to concentrate his mind
on the matter in hand, bu- allows il to
wander toward the problem of mar
riage, even as he allows extraneous
circumstances to delay him on his way.
However, 1t is needless to say that he
succeeds in the end, after series of
adventures that strains belief. Once
one is willing to disregard probabilities
and even possibilities, the story is not
bad reading, with its amazing mar
rage its honeymoon trip begun as an
escape from pursuit, its lodging from
trains TO farmers wagons and taxis, its
captures and near-captures, its threats
os violent death. The dark plot of the
criminals is not disclosed. In fact, the
adventure is but crowded setting for a
case OF personal beauty and romantic
love at second sight.

idyllic picture of a daughter Of the
spacious West, frank and unafraid,
self-reliant and capable, the trusting
companion of men, the fine flower Oh
the traditional chivalrous manhood OF
the country. one likes her, one cannot
but admire and love her-she makes the
story eminently well worth reading
hut the author sets her in an environ
ment of Jealous, backbiting, suspicious
slandering men and women whcse IN

disappearance Of the old spirit or the
West; his emphasis of 1t here, for the
sake of heightened contrast, one sup

also of true love of the open. Of the
