Tales Of Mystery

THE ABANDONED ROOM BY widsHc-th Camp
Co, M ~ "
II would be ungallant 70 suggest
how long ago it was that people began
sitting up o. nights to read The Leav-
enworth Case" but it Is pleasant TO
record that after such lapse OF time the
brain that conceived that bewildering
tale of mystery has lost none OF It's
fecundity or it's cunning. In The
Mystery of the Hasty Arrow" we have
our old friend, Mr.. Gryce, again, and
his mannerisms, and much of the same
old detective work and machinery. But
we have also the same ingenuity IN
inventing mysterious and battling cir
cumstances, and the same power TO
win and hold the interest OF the
reader. OF all its authors detective
stories, il is ore OF the most elaoo-
rate and romantic, one Of the most
mysterious and eerie, and, on the
whole, one of the best.
In 1.-The Abandoned Room" capt.
tai story is marred somewhat by over
doing. There is too studied an effort
70 create mystery, and too many things
are overdrawn, and are left inexplic-
able. The general conception of the
plot Is admirable, and many Of the de-
tails are presented with much dra-
mate power; but the air Of article
is o.ten too apparent. 1t would scarce.
ly be possible for people outside Of
bedlam to talk and act as some OF
these are made to DO. With all its
faults, however, it is story which
once begun, Is not likely to be lard
down unfinished.

PRIESTS OF THE IDEAL By Stephen Grahan-
limo. %. $50. Tho MA-Ml!an 90.
II is far cry from tramping with
Russian peasants and voyaging with
emigrants in the steerage TO phIlo-
sophizing over the cathedrals and an
cient shrines Of Britain, and il is not
surprising if in this first incursion OF
his into the realm Of fiction Mr.. Gia-
ham gives US more philosophy than
romance. The lett motif Of his WORK
is the rivalry between two diametri-
cally opposed idealists. One is
British mystic, TO whom the old shrlnes
are sacred, just as and where they are.
The other is an American enthusiast,
who regards the Old World as mort
bund, and who would purchase Stone
henge, Lindisfarne, st. Pauls and the
rest, and transport them TO America
in hope OF thus establishing there the
faith for which they stand.
The novelty of the theme, the pro-
found suggestions of the medltatlons
and discussions with which the book
abounds, and the descriptions of sue
cessive visits to the various snrines,
unite to form work which is dis
tinctly different from all others of the
year, and which will abundantly repay
the thoughtful reader of it, though 1t
is certain TO be much more priced IN
the study than in the hammock or the

GRACE LORRAINE b. Douglas sladea. Emo.
%. $50. Brentano's.
This is the authors fifth novel, but
it reads like first one, for it is de-
cidedly amateurish in style and treat
ment. It is full, however, Of interest
ing details and digressions. At times
the reader feels as If he had by mistake
got hold of a copy of Natural His
tory for Young Children" by the ques-
ton and answer method. On the first
page the author handicaps the heroine
with this description: THE girl was
very, very lovely; her features we're
pstrician in their clear-cut beauty; her
cheeks were as delicate in color as a
wild rose and in texture as satin; her
hair was giitteringly fair" Shades Of
Laura Jean Libbey. The dialogue is
quite as subtle as the bit of writing
quoted above. The worst thing about
the book, however. is that it bores
you; though it might be an aid in in
somnia cases.

The error-in the telling Of 1t is this,
that while it is all supposed TO be told

become cultivated, the early part of il
is given in the ignorant and vulgar
style in which she would naturally
have spoken at that time. 1t is incon-
ceivable that after acquiring an educa-
