Another Detective Story

THE MARK OF CAIN BY Carolyn Wells. VIII
frontispiece IN color by Gayle Hosktns. l2mo
pp 3o7. Tho J. Is. LipDincott Company.
This is entirely too good story for
us to let its obvious and radical fault
go unchastened. It is so good that
criticism will not hurt it; and it af-
fords an admirable example of the most
common and most serious fault of de-
tective stories, fault that would damn
less ingenious, spirited and sympa-
thetic work than this-that is, making
the characters in the story quite blind
to acts, motives and clews which are
glaringly obvious to the reader.
In the present book the opening chap
tiers are simply crammed with hints and
suggestions of the guilt of various per-
sons who in fact are quite innocent;
these being meant, of course, 70 throw
the reader off the track. This Is a
legitimate device, though there is al
ways danger of overworking it, as, in
deed, has been done in this case. But
il is quite inconceivablc that these
hints and apparent ciews, which fairly
strike the reader in the face, should
have produced so little impression upon
the persons in the book Avice, for in
stance, simply could not have paid so
little attention to Eleanor's conduct
which, while il was in fact innocent
enough, is made TO appear most sus-
picious and offensive.
However, it's a capital story. with
more vivacity than psychology, and
with an element of humor to tighten
the gloom of tragedy; and in view of
some things which we have seen and
heard at coroners' inquests and in Grim
inal trials we are not inclined TO blame
the writer for exceeding legitimate
license in portraying them.

Magical Madness

Here's Browning out Browninged
The bard beloved of the elect hesitated
not to commend one of his own poems
to himself by name in the poem itself
But here is Mr.. Nicholson discussing
and characterizing his own book in the
pages of that book! We thank him for
it. II has simplifed our task. All VIC
have to do is to quote passage from
page 81, and perhaps another from page
1873, and, lol most authoritative re-
view, with the judgment of which the
author cannot quarrel We quote:
The keynote to her character is
in this novel she grabbed as she
hastily packed her bag The Mad
ness of May That's one of the
drollest books ever written. A story
like that is a boon to mankind" .
"She had scrubbed for her own
amusement all her life, and pub
lished The Madness of May just to
see what the public would do TO it,"
81 understand that it's immensely
amusing remarked Deering, thrill
ing as she turned toward him.
"Oh, you haven't read it," she
cried. Mamma, Mr.. Tuck hasn't
read your book
my young friend is just beginning
his education" interposed Hood. 81
unhesitatingly pronounce The Mad
ness of May classic something the
tired world has been awaiting for
years."
Right" cried Pantaloon. "You
are quite right, sir. The Madness
Of May isn't a novel; it's text
book on happiness
With those estimates of the book we
advisedly and enthusiastically concur,
and we're going 10 read it again next
month TO see if il will not infect US
with its irresistible and enchanting
madness. There are few things in il
that are not screamingly impossible;
just as impossible as Alice In Won
derland"; but so much the worse for
possibility. There is certainly not a
thing'in it, though mad as a halter and
March hare in one. which we would
willingly have omitted, or which does
not immeasurably increase the sheer
delight of living.

TOUGHEST SOLDIERS

Near Verdun. Jan. S.--Native troops
from the French colonies are not SO
hardy as white soldiers from the
cities and villages of France. accord
ing to the chief surgeon of the great
field hospital here. He said:
THE opinion has been very general
iy prevalent throughout the world that
the semi civilized races are harder
than the civilized white races. This
idea. however, has been proved fall
lacious. / myself, since the beginning
of the war, have treated some thou
sands of wounded men and have found
in general that the white race can
support pain without complaint better
than any colored race. We have had
here cases of all kinds and I have been
able to prove that not only our peas
ants, who form such large part OF
our army, but the inhabitants of our
big cities are as naturally healthy and
amenable to surgical and medical
treatment as the men Of any race
which lives under primitive condi-
tions. Observation of the effects Of
contact with dirt upon wounds proves
nat natives suffer from gangrene,
peritonitis and blood poisoning just
as much as white men. At the same
time, their complaints VIXEN they are
suffering pain are much greater than
those Of white men,

UNIQUE LAWSUIT
(By Associated Press.)

London, Jan. 5.-The longest and
one of the most unique lawsuits ever
heard in the English courts has just
been decided. 1t involved the owner
ship of s2,5OO,OOO in gold which the
Amalgamated Properties of Rhodesia,
Ltd, owners of a million acres in
Rhodesia claimed that the Globe and
Phoenix Gold Mining company, which
owns the richest gold mine in the
world, had taken from the Rhodesia
property, AS if to be consistent the
court occupied two hours in delivering
judgment.
The case lasted 144 DAYS and cost
$3.50, OOO One witness was on the
stand sixteen days. and another who
was on the stand almost as long, died.
Two other men who were interested in
the case died before it was concluded.
More than $4,000 questions were put
to witnesses and answered. In the final
summing up counsel for the defend
ants spoke for 10 days. Chief counsel
for the defense received a fee of $4,000
and his "refresher" or daily charge
was $500.
The documents in the case were so
voluminous that two large rooms were
crowded with maps, essays and re-
ports. The proceedings were enliven-
ed by stirring scenes between oppos-
ing counsel and apologies were ordered
by the court.
In deciding the case, Justice Eve
dismissed the action on the ground
that the Amalgamated Properties had
failed to prove that the gold was ex-
tracted from it's mine which adjoined
that of the Globe and Phoenix.

structions have been well maintained
and the veil of secrecy drawn about
the caucus sessions has been. pene-
trated at only a few points.
That the league has signed up al
most the whole Of it's strength in the
house of representatives, Is the pres
ent indication. Eighty-one members
had signed the pledge last night, and
1t is generally believed that very few
more will affix their names to the
pledge.
If that pledge is redeemed by the
i members the house will pass any con-
stitutional measure the league leaders
may place before them, and the PHI
| would have a two"thirds majority.
thus placing it beyond the workings
of the referendum.
In the senate, the outlook for such
a sweeping league success isn't 80
bright. The maximum strength now
available to the league in the upper
branch of the assembly is %, accord
ing to well verified reports.
They Turn to the Senate.
Since they have succeeded so
splendidly in the house. their every
branch of the assembly, without any
apparent opposition, the league lead
ers have turned their attention to the
state senate.
In the group of league officials and
organizers on the ground are such
powerful men as A. c. Townley, Frank
b. Wood, William Lemke, Albert
Bowen, Patrick NJ. Casey, A. M.
Thomason, James w. Brinton, and
several other luminaries of greater or
lesser brilliance. They are given the
able assistance of numerous local
league boosters, together with several
of the prominent state officials who
this week took Office.
This organization is taking every
possible step to bring about the sue
cess of the constitutional convention
plan, and no bets are being over
looked.
Rumblinas Of Discomfort.
Rumblings of discomfort within the
league circles may be based on facts
or they may be idle rumors. 1t is
maintained that several OF the leaue
members are not entirely satisfied
with the manner in which the speak
ership campaign was confederation
1t really wasn't a campaign.
Howard Wood came to Bismarck as
the choice of the organization. and he
was put across without difficulty
Such opposition as appeared to de-
velop from time to time was short
lived, and each prospective candidate
for the speakership whoc anne to Bis
marck with any idea that he might
have a chance at the honor, soon
found his mind thoroughly disabused
on that point.
