Three Strings; On a String

THE THREE STRINGS; BY Natalie sumner Lin
coin. Illustrated. 12mo. pp H. 32l. j. AD-
pleton & Co.
This is nrother unusual and absorb
ing tale of mystery from the versatile
pen of Miss Lincoln, who is we'll known
for her clever detective stories, written
chiefly in and about Washington, and
very often involving the Secret Service
and innumerably interesting people.
The author has carried out the work
ing of the plot and it's denouement
with rare imaginative skill, defying
any solution the reader might make.
1t is a story of German intrigue in
Washington shortly after the entrance
of the United States into the war, and
is full of puzzling and mysterious cir-
cumstances. Evelyn Preston, in the
absence Of her family, returns unex-
pectedly to her home TO find the body
of strange man in the library. The
motive for the crime is carefully con-
cealed, as is the identity Of the man,
not even the Secret Service being able
to find a solution to the problem. Be-
fore the climax is revealed the author
but comparatively little about the feel
ings of girls. Yet there are as many
girls as boys, and their psychology and
conduct are at least as interesting to

characters, as well as the reader, from

wonder if the dog is of sufficient i'm.

TINE TREASURE TRAIL. BY Marsh Ellis Ryan
Illustrated. limo. PIP. 3Si. A. C. McClurg &
Co.
Romance, thrilling experiences, excit-
ing adventures, help to make this novel
a real treasure novel, trail of red
gold and love.
Gold! Red gold! Lying waiting to
enrich him who should discover the
secret of the lost mission mine! This
is the lure which draws happy-go-
lucky Kit Rhodes upon the Treasure
Trail.
1t is a fascinating and entrancing
taleof the Arizona border during the
time when the German agents were
plotting with the help of the Mexicans
and planting their insidious propaganda
against this country, previous to the
time when the United States declared
war on Germany. The quest of hid
den gold mine, Mexican revolutionists,
Yaqui Indians, -blooded Americans,
with a generous sprinkling of "pacif-
lists" have been woven into this unique
and thoroughly up-to- date story as only
the author knows how to do. Mrs.
Ryan is we'll known for her knowledge
of Mexico. its people and traditions, as

book is old Grandfather Gabriel, than
whom no finer has appeared in any war
book from any pen. Nine. Daulac and
Jeanne Marie are also superb, and in
deed all in the book are wholly ad-
mirablc. The real purport of it is to
picture the life, the devotion, the suf-
ferings, the heroism, of simple little
family in Flanders during the invasion
and occupation by the Blond Beast, and
as such it is one of the finest pieces of
literary art that the great war has in
spired. 1t will be read by multitudes
with quickening pulses, and with eyes
now wet with tears of sympathy and
now flashing with the light of triumph
and eXultation.

to understand women may read it with
profit. 1t is clean and wholesome and
true, delightfully."- written, interesting
and we'll worth the reading. The minor
characters are real and human people.
Betty comes in contact with life, as
all women who 10 forth into the world
must; she sees it with honest eyes,
and it ennobles instead of harming her.
She does not condemn those less fort
unate than herself, but tries to help
and is better for the effort. Every
woman struggling for foothold in the
business world will find much in this
hook that will be true to hcs' own ex-
rerence, and she will be entertained d
while she reads.

MEN En- ,-so1, or THE OLD STONE AGE By Henry
FairhelI Osborn. Illustrated. $40, pp. x1Yii,
539 Charles Scrbncr's Sons.
1t is encouraging and inspiring to
see 4 third edition of this splendid
work put forth, a work both in schol-
arship and material making an honor
to American literature. With untiring
patience DR.. Osborn has gathered and
arrayed all that scientific research has
ascertained about the cave man, his

has presented it in a manner instruc-
tive to the student and of fascinating
interest to the layman and has illus

quisite drawings and maps by contem-
porary masters of the graphic art.
This new edition has been enriched
through the insertion Of new notes and
on the archaeology Of
Spain and North Africa and has been
published in the best style Of the
bOokmakcr's art.

great to be traversed by spirited
girl who turns her back upon fash

much grace and polish and with a keen
insight into human minds and hearts

characters participate. 1t is romance
full of mingled humor. pathos, senti-
ment and action; heartily to be COM
