THE BEGINNING

T6N2OFESSOR FAIRFIELD OSBORN is the author of
- very interesting and suggestive book entitled 'The

But knows what causes it, rather what the
original cause. The author does not pretend to have
solved the problem of the ages but he does venture to hope
that he has obtained starting point for and untred
paths of exploration which may be followed during the
present century-paths which have long been trodden
with different purpose by physicists and chemists and
by psychologists and biochemiss in the study of the

the solution of the problem. He says:

"DROWSY."

In the back ground of John Amos
Mitchelrs new novel. "Drowsy" is the
idyllic and unconventional romance Of
a young American doctor and great
European singer.
The doctor has been wounded In a
duel fought for the diva's good name.
He RECEIVERS at a villa high on a hill
side overlooking Trieste and the Adri-
attic, the singer being his companion
and nurse. Seven years later the doc
tor returns with little son to the
Massachusetts hamlet which has been
his boyhood's home. For the village
there is no word of the boys mother
beyond an understanding that she is
dead. The reader perceives in him a
gift OF thought reading inherited from
the beautiful woman in whom that fac
ulty has been wonderfully revealed
during months of attendance on a
.speechless sufferer.
Cyrus Alton is the boy. A dropping
heaviness OF his eyelids, producing
superficial effect of dulfness in his
eyes, earns him the nickname which
Mr.. Mitchell employs for the title OF
his book.
But Cyrus was not dull. He is an
inventor of marvels which. even in
vague description, give Mr.. Mitchell's
story real Jules Verne tinge These

William Grogan. called Bill, is Mr..
MacGrath's plumber. He is big fell

dest of red hair, sort of comedy face,
an abundance of freckles and blue
eyes into which one has to look but

as one may tie to without doubt. Be
sides his muscle and his skill at his
trade Bill has an argot of the streets
which all may hear, the beginnings of
a public school education and a thirst
for books all and and miscellaneous.
Hidden where nobody can see it,
however, our hero has the heart of a
dreamer. For three years his dreams

dainty feminine feet which trip twice

1.-THE CASE OF MARY SHERMAN"
The prelate in Jasper Ewing Brady's
THE Case of Mary Sherman" is fine
type of the fighting Bishop He roots
for the home team at baseball. He likes
all the sports of the manly man, from
boxing to honest racing. And being
two inches over six feet in height. with
shoulders and muscles to correspond,
his presence counts in a game.
From the moment that this Bishop
takes up the cause of justice and the
boss oppressed people in Preside,
away out west. James Burchard Dud-
ley, previously with all things going
the way he has said. knows there is a
fight on. Three months later Dudley
knows he is whipped. Meanwhile "a
story richly full of action develops be-
fore Mr.. Brady's readers.
Only once as things run, do we
lose faith in the Bishop. That is in
Mary Sherman's own case. For an I'M
fortunate quarter of an hour, while
the issue of a square deal for Mary
is pending. he ceases to be red
blooded man and becomes an articles
bound churchman. Although he recov-
ers from his paralysis, we wish Mr..
Brady had left him free all the way
through the book The case OF Mary
is that she has been welded only to be
betrayed, and that she wants the love
and happiness to which she is entitled.
