SWEEPINGS FROM INKPOI ALLEY

H. G.. Wells has at last written best
seller. In the current "Bookman" "Mr.
Drifting Sees 1t Through" is listed
among the exalted
MIR. WELLS'S (but generally
BEST-SELLER. transitory) siX
Best-Sellers, being
less popular only than Harold Bell
Wright's "When a Mans Man" and
Gilbert Parker's "The World for Sale"
In New York, Boston, New Haven, Bal
timore and Kansas City "Mr. Britling"
was the favorite literary recreation.
Philadelphia and most points west of
the Mississippi River voted first hon
ors to Mr.. Wright's book.
The popularity of "Mr. Drifting" is
based on the faithful picture it gives of
what happened in normal English
household when Britain was plunged
Unexpectedly into the world war. The
reactions of the members of this fam
lily are about what our own reactions
would be under similar circumstances.
Yet "Mr. Drifting" is not by long
shot the best of Mr.. Wells's novels
There is some of his best work in it, and
some of his worst. Before we get to the
war we have to endure much about the
middle-aged Mr.. Britling's amorous in
trigue with shadowy Hermione and
the love affair of an impossible wooden
American. But the latter part of the
book is suffused with tenderness and
human feeling unusual in Mr.. Wells. No
finer thing has been written in England
about the war than the letter of Mr..
Drifting, after the death of his son, to
the father of the Drifting family's Ger
man tutor who was also killed.
He wrote, says Mr.. Wells, ito that
dimly apprehended figure outside a cir
Gle of light like his own circle of light
which was the father of Heinrich, which
was great Germany, Germany which
lived before and will Yet outlive the
tapping of the eagles" For that letter
alone the book was worth doing, and is
worth reading.

Mr.. Shepherd did not wish to hurt
their feelings by insistent contradic-
tions. He remained silent until he saw
they were waiting for him to speak, and
then decided to switch the conversation
from its serious trend. Accordingly he
told one of Irwin Cobb's negro stories.
In little Southern town, he said, they
had caught a negro at some offence. 1t
was not very serious matter, but they
hadn't enjoyed an execution in long
time, so he was sentenced to be hanged.
The affair was made a gala occasion.
1t was advertised in the newspapers, the
storekeepers increased their stocks and
on the day of the execution the farm
ers came in from miles around in wag-
ons and special trains. Led by brass

"Aha, the villain"

out to the fair grounds. The Mayor
made a speech, and so did the sheriff,
the Judge, the district attorney and even
the minister who had attended the prls-
oner. In the end, in the interest of fair
play, the prisoner was asked if ne had
anything to say for himself before ne
was strung up.
"Gemmen," he announced, "all | got

After Mr.. Shepherd concluded there
followed a deep, puzzled silence. Finally
the officer who had seen service in Rho

"Well, old chap, I've no doubt he Jolly

That was the only comment on the
story.
