THESE LYNNEKERS.

THESE LYNNEKERs. BY J. u. Beresford i2mo.
ID. i56. The George II. Doran Company.
Mr. Beresford is a realist of parts.
The best of his talent and of the tech
nique which he has perfected is found
in this new novel OF his, whose greater
condensation places it above the leis-
urely detail of the trilogy which first
brought him TO the notice of wider
public. Withal, he and his fellow-real-
lists of the young English school offer
US nothing that Is new. The form of
art they practise and the way they
practise it are at heart only the realism
which Mr.. Howells practised and cham
pioned quarter of a century ago.
What gives them special significance
just now is the fact that the English
life which they depict so minutely is
approaching its end under the meal
culable influences and after-effects of a
world upheaval. They are the last So
cial historians of an epoch that is clos
ing.
These Lynnekers-they are typical of
a large English class-have been verg-
ing tosard the background of English
life ever since the awakening of the
Boer war. Aristocrats since the Con-
quest, they maintained themselves in
their position not by strength of brain
and Drawn, but by the grace of that ia
vorable environment which has through
the centuries taught the masses TO be
content in the stations 10 which it has
pleased Providence to call them. They
were immune from attack from with
out, and within they were upheld by
solidarity of caste. Their strength was
conformity, obedience TO certain inhi-
bitions. They lived behind their Chi
nese wall, at which only few radicals
dared 70 throw an occasional stone. All
this is over now, though British con-
servatism may prove far stronger than
foreign observers, at least, of a chang
ing world are apt to believe.
Dick Lynneker, the youngest of the
rector's children, is an exception to a
long succession of quiet, passively sue
cessful mediocrity. The Lynnekers

70 the Cabaret de Biribi in Ausone, its
proprietor, Wildresse. and his cash
ier, Philippa. Here, too, the Amer
lean painter gets into the game. The
plots and traps, pursuits and fusillades
grow livelier than ever.
This is, first of all. novel of plot,
wherefore it must not be revealed be-
yond these turbulent preliminaries.
Suffice it to say that the action grows
faster and faster. To the American
and the Englishmen and the murder
Gus Germans there are now added Bel
gians and Frenchmen, Apaches, a viii
famous international agent who cares
not for whom he works so long as he
is paid, and an infinitely more crimi-
nal Russian noble, whose hand has
pulled the wires in the Balkans from
the kidnapping of Alexander of Bat
tenberg TO the murders of Alexander
of Servia and his Queen and of the
Austrian Grand Duke and his consort.
And we see war, actual battles and
bombardments, vividly described.
And the Girl Philippa? She fur
nishes the romance-and the solution
Of still another international mystery.
Then there is Sister Ella of the Grey
Daughters of ST. Vincent de Paul, a
most sympathetic figure. and there is
the Comtesse de Moidrey. American

NEW LIQUOR LAW.

While the citizen who lays away
a supply of liquors in his cellar
before Jan. l, will be free from
molestation under the search and
seisure provisions of the state
law, according to Louis R. Horton,
superintendent of the anti-saloon
league, one "wet" party which
gets too loud will be likely to lead
to sudden confscation of the host s
stores.
"We do not want to be hard
on the man who wants to keep his
own supply for personal consump-
tion,' Mr.. Horton declared, "but
the situation is plainly one which
puts the law on trial
"The citizen who puts his
liquors quietly away in his cellar
and consumes them in the ordin-
airy fashion will not be in danger,
but the man who has drunken
carousal, a noisy gathering or
two, or anything else that will
help create the impression and at
titude that prohibition does not
make any difference and things
are just the same, will be hauled
into court and his place cleaned
out. 1t won't make any differ
ence who he is.
