Daring in Old Virginia

SALUTE TO ADVENTURES BY John Blu
chan limo ~. 3is. The George n. Dorah
Company.
Salute to Mr.. Buchan! 1t was only a
little while ago that we had occasion
to acclaim his "Greenmantle" as a sim
gularly enthralling tale Of daring and
romantic adventure. Also, we have OBJ
served that he is writing, volume after
volume, one of the very best Of the
current histories of the war. Now
comes an admirable historical romance
of early Colonial days in Virginia. We
call it historical because II deals to
some extent with actual historic char.
acters, and gives in general a faithful
picture Of the typical life and doings OF
those days. Whether the exploration
Of the Shenandoah Valley really was
effected years before Spottswood's
hunting party may be matter of dis
pute. For the present purpose it does
not matter Neither does it matter
that in parts the tale is reminiscent OF
Scott, again of Stevenson, and yet
again of Maud Wilder Goodwin; which
is simply because Mr.. Buchan is telling
Of the same times, places and types OF
men and women of which they told
Such Renaissance does not impair the
fine, spontaneous originality Of the
work nor lessen its vivid interest and
compelling power. II must have high
rank among romances or high ad-
venture and chivalric love.

Captain Noah
How He Circumvented Balaam
and Rescued Obadiah

EXTRTCATING OBADIAH. By joseph c. Lineoi1-
illustrated by Nat LOuderbGek l?no. ~. ssh
j. Appleton Il CO.
How long ago did Sally Pratt Mac
lean write "Cape Cod Folks? And
how many books have since been writ
ten about that quaint region and its
people? We make no estimate. We
always did funk in Higher Mathe-
MATES. But we venture the confident
judgment that not one Of them has
been superior to the volume before
us, and that, indeed. very few Of them
have approximated its standard of ex-
cellence.
In Captain Noah Newcomb Mr. Lin
coin has created a genuine "charac-
ter" as lovable as sunshine and as
true to life as life itself; and he has
surrounded him with others-Balaam,
Obadiah, Clifford, Wentworth, Mary
Barstow and Melissa Mayo-of
greatly varying types. but all so life
like that we Involuntary begin to
wonder where it was that we met
them, and whether it was last sum-
mer or the year before. Equally con-
vincing of reality are the doings and
sayings Of all these people; with no
extravaganza, no burlesque, no arti-
ficiality. Yet with all-and this is
some of the authors highest art
there is no suggestion of mere photo
graphic meticulosity. The scene is
the work Of a painter with vision, not
of the camera and dry plate. An
other fine touch Of art is at the close.
In less authoritative hands the actors
and events would have been led to a
general climax, with the entire COM
pany grouped upon the stage and red
fire blazing in the wings. Not so Mr..
Lincoln. He lets Captain Noah dispose
of the two scoundrels, BALKAN and
Wentworth, separately and apart,
without strenuosity, but, oh, so effec-
lively! The two weddings are SINH
larly effected, and then all the other
loose ends are gathered up and fas-
tened-to change the fgure-in the
most satisfactory fashion. In brief,
everything is made to happen not as
1t would on the stage, but as 1t would
in actual life.
It is a work which from first TO last
will be a Joy to the reader, with a
promise of no less Joy at the second
reading which deserves to follow, and
one which must be placed in the front
rank of the fiction of the year.

Dignifying Labor

MARCHING MEN. By Sherwood Andersen. limo,
ID cli John lane COMPANY.
There was never before time in the
history Of the country when the prob
lens of labor so occupied the public
mind. Next to the war 1t is the topic
of general discussion among thinking
people. In Marching Men" Mr..
Anderson has clever and original
idea, but, unfortunately, he has not the
courage Of his convictions, and there
fore the book begs its point and sinks
badly at the end to anti-climax and
the commonplace.
The story is the life history OF
"Beaut" McGregor, the son of a half
crazed Scotchman whom his fellow
townsmen called Cracked McGregor."
The scene is laid in the coal mine
regions of Pennsylvania and later on
the West Side in Chicago. Mr.. Ander-
son knows his background and paints
it with fine realism. "Beaut" Nc
