What occurred aboard the Namur forms
the body of the story and should not be
revealed here. The reader who thirsts for
tales Of pirates in which blood runs red,
in which necks are bent until they crack
and deaths by violence are as common
as automobile accidents on Sunday will
here find complete satisfaction. Not that
Wolues Of the Sea is repulsively CORY.
Randall Parrish is q deft handler of vio-
lent scenes and under his skilful man p
ulation it seems quite natural and justi-
fable for the first mate to bash the new
member of the crew on the head with
Delaying pin, and then to hover over the
PROSTATE form and kick the mans front
teeth out, just to show the new"Nand he is
aboard o vessel where orders will be
obeyed.
Wolves Of the Sea, like other novels
by the same author, has the charm of the
picturesque There is literary co or
throughout the entire story and the reader
can always visualize any particular scene
with remarkable clearness. Randall Par
rish does not bother with petty detail;
his success as q first rate story teller lies
in his ability to steep his yarns in the
pure atmosphere of the period Of which
they are representative. In this, his
latest product as in others, he succeeds
in heightening the impression Of realism
by writing in the first person. Geoffry
Carlisle is the raconteur. modest yet
forceful, getting the full descriptive eff
feet from every situation into which he
reeklessly plunged, and that without once
laying himself open to the charge Of
boastfulness.

a TALE Of love aboard pirate vesse

A TALE Of love aboard pirate vessel,
L \ of treasure chests, mystery ships,
intrigue, mutiny, sudden death and Of ad-
venture Of the most deeply stirring nature
is Voices Of the Sea, by Randall Parrish.
Veritable hounds of hell that band of 100
cutthroats that Black Sanchez kept below
the decks of the Namur to be released only
when there was vessel to be boarded and
fighting to be done. Not a one of them
but would murder man for guinea, and
none was happy until the decks ran red
and grew slippery beneath his feet.
Mostly concerned in the course into
which events shaped themselves were the
bold and resolute Geoffry Carlisle and
Mistress Dorothy Fairfax, and the time of
their adventures is the period when Viz
ginia was n very young colony of the
English crown.
Geoffry Carlisle was an English skipper.
He was implicated in the brief revolution
that sought to raise the Duke Of Mon
mouth to power, was imprisoned and was
finally sentenced to twenty years servitude
in America. With band of others in q
similar plight he sailed for Virginia in
the Rcmping Betsy to be sold as slave.
Aboard the vessel as passengers were
Dorothy Fairfax ard her uncle, wealthy
planter returning with $4,000 pounds
sterling, the result of disposing Of his
tobacco crop and the crop of his neigh
bors. Accompanying them as a guest was
d "Lieutentant" Sanchez of the Spanish
navy, actually the pirate chief Black
Sanchez, enamored Of Dorothy and re-
solved TO carry her off, together with the
planters god when America was reached.
e.. Ere they sailed from England Sanchez
formulated his scheme and despatched
letter to the West Indies ordering his
vessel, the Namur, to await the arrival Of
the ROmping Betsy in the Chesapeake.
On the voyage the elder Fairfax learned
the identity of Geoffry Carlisle and pur-
chased him as servant. En- route to the
Fairfax plantation Carlisle learned that
Sanchez and his men were about to carry

paid IS cents for it, took it to New York
and sold it to Scribner 3, considering $59.75
a fair profit. From New York it went back
to Boston, TO 90 into the library of Fred
erick W. French. When Mr.. French died
and his library was sold in 1901 Mr.. Smith
and the representative of Scribner's were
underbidders for this rare pamphlet, which
brought 81 900. When dealers have eIpe-

result prices soar constantly upward
The Wrenn Collection.
Major George W. Littlefeld of Austin,
Texas, who presented the magnificent
Wrenn collection to the University of Texas
and gave the sum Of S25,0 900 with later gifts
Of more than $4,000, fully believes in the
value of historical works In libraries of this
character. There have been recently added
to the collection several thousand volumes
of histories mainly dealing with the South.
Preparations are well under way for the
installation Of the Wrenn Library. A printed
index is being prepared in London, q part
Of it having been already received. Ono
hundred copies Of this catalogue will be
distributed to selected list of Libraries,
both in this country and in Europe. By
this means non-residents of Austin NAV get
certain amount of information from tho
library not easily obtsinable and in some
cases not to be found elsewhere since many
Of the books are originals or single copies.

"The World to Live In"

l. heart Of a great city, solemn,
round-eyed country girls in the midst Of
Gotham. We have no kin, no. money, no
anything but wild desire for happiness
If We take what is offered us we are para
sites-or worse. If we refuse the flesh pots
we are idiots. My father left me the
world to make a living in, but he didn't
stop to show me how to make it. Living
isn't simply three meals q day and q
place to sleep" So spoke Rita Charles
in The World to Lire In, W. Carey.Won-
derly's story of a "tinpanner."
A tinpanner is usually a stenographer,
that time honored victim of the romancer,
and she's always pretty. She buys $10O
gowns on the instalment plan, looks like
one of the four hundred, or rather the
way they are fondly supposed to look, and
spends her evenings in a golden whiri OF
pleasure 1t is with the sons Of Cresus
that she takes her outings as any one will
see who reads this book. Their names
roek Of moneyed ease: Chalvey, Diversion,
Sartoris, Vonnegut, dazzling array! A
tinpanner may accept flowers, candy,
books and photograph records from the
men she "pals about" with, but she may
not 60 beyond this boundary, and she
must never on any account think Of mar
rage in connection with her attendants.
Rita Charles was an admirable example
Of the tinpan sisterhood before Sally Cole
upset her world by marrying Bob Sar-
toris and left her to straighten it for
herself.
Disdaining the usual rules Of the novel
ist W. Carey Wonderly horrifes US by
sending Harrington Chalvey's mother to
live with a daughter in England in tho
twenty-frst chapter when the poor woman
has died forsooth along about the fourth.
The book is not supposed to be psychical
either! Aside from few peculiarities
of which this is the most peculiar, the
story moves along smoothly and enter
tainingly enough, written in style some
times reminiscent of the early sos and
queerly unexpected in its ultra modern set
ting. Some of the characters are strongly
drawn, Ida, the slavcy in the Twenty
third street boarding house, among them,
and it is not without humor, but one
stands aghast at the lightning changes that
are accomplished in the hearts of one
and all

The Complete Mahan

~ before he died, Rear Admiral AL
fred T. Mahan published twenty volumes
in addition to nine uneOllected ESSAYS.
Few general readers can possess all Of
these books, but if they have such an am
bition unqualified it is now possible to get
the substance of Admiral Mahan's vol
luminous and highly important writings
on sea power, naval strategy, international
relations and their lessons and biography,
within the scope Of one book. That such
a thing is possible is due to the infinite
patience and brilliant editorial judgment
of Allan Westeott, who is one of the most
distinguished Of the civilian instructors at
the United States Naval Academy at An
napolis.
MGhGn on Ndrdl Wdrfdrc is the title
Mr.. Westcott has selected for his volume,
c name that scarcely conveys the wide
scope of the contents. In a general sense
this work may be called .''the complete
Mahan," for in addition to containing Sc
lections from this great authority's broad
range Of subjects it includes q sympa-
thetic biographical sketch of Admiral Ma
hans life, the basis Of which is that most
delightful volume Of memoirs From Sal
to Steam, although Mr.. Westcott has
made his own studies. Of Mahan's life to
present his subject in n more complete
and rounded form. Moreover there is
photography Of Mahan's works and q
chronological outline Of his life.
The body Of the text is divided into
three parts, Naual Principles, Sea Po,cer
in History and Narol and NGtiondl Poll
cies. From Mahan's writings that fall
within these three divisions the editor has
selected extracts illustrating subject and
Mahan alike, linking the quoted passages
together with balance and precision that
makes of the text perfect whole
1t is a commonplace Of American criti-
cism to say that Mahan's style was heavy.
We believe this to be born Of super
fetal acquaintance with the writings Of q
man "the besetting anxiety" of whose soul
"was to he clear and lucid" No one can
possibly read his memoirs set down in

trigued by his charm of style and his
abundant humor; and when he was con-
cerned with the topic he made singularly
his own, sea power, he rose to a sculptural
quality in his prose that few men have
equalled. Possibly the most perfect il
lustratiOn of his finest manner (beginnin.
here on page 1911 is the paragraph in
which he describes shat tremendous and
sustained vigilance" of the British feet
from 1903 to 1905, which was the most
Impressive demonstration Of the inhu-
enee of sea power in the worlds history.
Now and again, but at very rare inter
vals, there passes under the reviewers
eyes 4 work that makes him feel proud
it was produced in his country. Mr.. West
colts volume is such one, since it re-
veals not only mastery OF its subject,
but qualities Of editorial Judgment and
technique that are thoroughly fine and
sound And these are qualities too seldom
felt in the world of American letters.

a few bookmen and booklovers- We have
been permitted to read letter from one
of these in which he describes a visit to
a chateau near Chateau Thierry that
housed q magnificent collection Of books
and manuscripts, all Of which had been in
the hands Of the Hun.
Not volume of the many that the
writer of the letter had examined Was
without the evidences of vandalism; works
of almost inestimable value had been so
defled and mutilated as to be beyond re-
pair or cleansing; illuminated manuscripts
containing tho most exquisite drawings and
eoloring were ruthlessly torn and defaced
30 that it would not be possible to re-
claim them, and, to cap it all, they were
covered by iDdescribable filth.

are constantly availing themselves Of the
great collection housed in the New York
Public Library to witness the almost con-

while on board the old line of battle ship
President and on the brig Argus during
the war Of 1872, has been given to the

When the Astor Library was established
IN l84s the librarian was despatched to
London with 100000 to purchase books,
for which sum he procured no less than 80
900 books, many of them the finest and
rarest then procurabIe, and at that time
the largest purchase ever made at one time

California Rarities.

On Monday afternoon, November 4, there
will he sold at Anderson s the Californians
and other books collected by the late Royal
8. Perry of San Jose, Cal, ga titles. Ma
terial relating to this State that covers, or
was issued in, its formative period has
always been more or less scarce, some OF II
excessively rare, and it is seldom that
collection such as this is made available to
buyers. Some items, such as the broadside
To tie Democracy of California, are prac-
tically unknown, never having come up at
auction Perhaps the number that is most
excessively rare is the copy Of the con
stitution Of 1850, of which it, is said the
only other known was destroyed in the ire
Ct 1906, which would make this the only one
available for purchase. Not the least in
teresting items are journals and memoirs Of
early pioneers, many being privately pub
lished in very limited editions and there
