MORE REVELATIONS.

THE sE'RrTS OF TTIE HoHENZoLLERNS. by
d., Amgssrd kari Gra,eS Illustrated Syo
~ 2l McB.ide. NaH n Go.
One wonders what the future his
torian Of the world war will do with
the mass Of revelations of German
court and secret service secrets so
freely made by ex-governesses in
princely houses, pseudonymous ex-in-
Inmates of the Kaiser and more or less
authenticated ex-secret agents. Certain
it is that some twenty-frst century
Dumas will find in them riches of ma
terial for historical romancing of un-
precedented quality.
In the midst Of Prussian forest, in
the heart Of the Mark Of Brandenburg,
so DR.. Graves begins this second book
Of his, stands the ancestral castle Of
the Freiherren Won Ehrenkrug. They
are the hereditary keepers OF the
secrets OF the Hohenzollerns, a casket
Of documents dating mostly from the
time of Frederick the Great OF course,
this ebony casket is kept in a vault, in
the cedar and sandalwood catafalque
of a long dead Crusader. DR.. Graves
tells the future Dumas how his hero
COR villain may avoid the deadly
poison that protects the secrets. What
these documents contain he does not
know, but no Hohenzollern who learns
their contents on his accession TO the
throne ever smiles again, or words to
that effect. One Frederician rule
has leaked out: No Hohenzollern
ruler must ever make war before he Is
forty. 1t is the heir of the keepers of
these secrets who is the mysterious
hero of this book, the Kaiser's conf
Dental messenger.
A promising beginning Then follow
the revelations. Think you that wom-
en- no longer play fatal part In the
destinies of nations? Listen: Austria
made war on Serbia because Kati
Schratt, the elderly bonnie annie of the
aged Emperor, hates the Serbians, who
assassinated her only brother. The
breach between the Kaiser and the
Crown Prince began in the house OF
famous American artistic in Berlin.
The war of 1870 was made unavoidable
by an insult offered to the Crown
Prince Frederick by the Empress
Eueenie. after she had been most
gracious to him. Edward VII was nor
guided by mastery statecraft in the
formation of the Triple Entente, but

Enemy of Society.


THE STORY or CANADA BLAcKIE. BY AIMS

Mott Osborne. Warden OF slng nlns iiN''

Canada Blackie died recently at Sing
Sing. a star exhibit of the results OF
Mr.. Osborne's prison methods. AS
how the prisoner ran away from home
and Joined a circus, which he deserted
after causing an accident that crippled
one of the performers "a woman ior
life. He then became the head Oh a
hand of yeggmen, and served term
in Joliet prison in the old days OF
straitiackets, hanging by the wrists
and other methods of discipline.
He emerged from the penitentlary a
confirmed enemy Of society, took part
in a safe robbery in which a Waterman
was killed. and received life sentence,
which he began at Dannemora. deere,
for seven years, his record was unex-
ceptionable, "but the iron and stone
entered his very soul and his nerves
were shattered by the thousand and one
nettv rules and humiliations OF the
stupid system" So. by the under
qround system of convicts, he obtained
enough dynamite to blow up the north
end of the prison block, but was be-
trayed by a stool pigeon. SOLITARY
confinement was the cost.
In his dark cell the man obtained
in a still more mysterious manner
piece Of gaspipe, which he fashioned
into a revolver, making the charge from
the heads of matches and the sides OF
matchboxes. With this weapon ne shot
a guard through the shoulder, the re-
suit being an additional sentence OF
ten wears. Altogether. he spent twenty
months in the dark cell. Finally he was
transferred TO Auburn, blind in one eye
aud a victim of tuberculosis. Here he
met Donald Lowrie, the author OF MY
Life in Prison" and MY Life Out oil
Prison" and came under Mr.. Osborne's
influence.
This is the story told in this book.

bellious. indomitable criminal there
ia not a trace left in these eplstles.
One wonders, as a matter OF TACT now
much of the mans conversion, OF his
immediate surrender, was due to the
debilitating progress of his disease
and how much to the changed methods
Of prison governanee. Some OF these
letters are, indeed, almost too sweet; a
