chances for all living happily ever afterward"
 Born lh the most ultra conservative Of New England villages, her pareutage among the leading citizens of a hide bound and unprogressive community, among folks who regard the least de- walton from the time honored paths as cardinal sin and reprehensible, Marcia Warren, 9 congenital rebel, who should have been d boy, passes a mis- erable childhood because she is queer and not cut from the same yardage as the other girls of the com munlty. She gains and retains the interest however. Of the most popular boy in the village-himself a sort of rebel-since he decides not to tread the old ways, but to secure an education and become a manufacturer.
 How Marcia realizes her dreams of service, how the boys ambitions come true-the whole story goes forward so 1 logically and with such consistent and sustained interest that the reader is prone to finish it at a sitting, and then dream.
 THE UNTAMED"-By Max Brand l is surely well named. If ever a story ! was written about untamed men and animals this is the story.
 ! As q matter of fact, some Of them are so untamed that the casual reader, l particularly if he or she has some per 1 sonal knowledge of desert range life, | wonders if ever. in the widest and wooliest of the wild and woody days it was possible to have the things happen that the author writes.
 | For, after all. the portrayal of life | and events as they might possibly have | happened is the true secret of produc- 1 ing an interesting and readable book. | We are all more or less inclined to be i skeptical of the relation or matters that seem absolutely impossible, and the most facinating style win not make up for lack of. at least, simulated
 realism.
 But this book is gripping, it is in l teresting, but it's grip and it's interest ! are eery, and weird, and shivery. Those will enjoy it who enjoyed Poes Red
 Death for instance, the sort of story l that makes the involuntary shivers
 creep slowly up ones back.
 The hero. Whistling Dan, is a were
 wolf of man, pictured as being slight
 as a boy, with the strength and agility of a panther, the cunning and instinct
 of a timberwof, and the persistence of
 d bloodhound. Then there Is a Big Jim | Silent, the outlaw, who IS q little faster on the draw than most men, and mis- cellaneous lot of other outlaws, crooked officers, a beautiful girl, and numerous
 and bloody shooting scrapes.
 The story is well told, but there is
 something more or less repulsive in the
 picture of the "loup garo," or were
 wolf in the form of a man-and a girl
 who loves him for all that.
 The descriptions are excellent, and in spite of some of the story's features, it
 will undoubtedly be popular.

LITERATURE AND ART
 -. Conducted by LEW HEAD

"DAWN"-By Eleanor II. Porter illustrated. Houghton 8iifnin Com pany S150 net.
 The story of q boy who became tot ally blind is related in Eleanor H. Por- .er's new book. Dawn Keith Bur lon was only fourteen when he dis covered that the copy of Treasure lsland' given him by his father for a birthday present was printed in type so blurred and poor that he could scarcely read it, Then he found out that all the books and papers he locked al were printed in that same blurred type, and after a while a bit of infor- nation came to him which filled him with a terrible dread. How he passed 7from a mere slight difficulty in seeing to complete blindness the book relates. But there was a chance of cure, though only @ very small one, and Dorothy ParkInan, daHghter of a famous occu- list, interested her father in Keith's caSe- But Keith had, not without req son. taken violent dislike to Dorothy and so it became necessary to deceive him regarding her identity. An i'm portant thread of the plot is woven from this deception
 But Dorothy is not the real heroine of the book; that role belongs to Susan Betts, maid of -all work in the house of heith's father, an impractical and re- sponsibility- -shirking widower. II is susan who helps Keith, and urges him To help himself; Susan who reads of all he things the blind are able to do, and encourages Keith; and never lets him know that her own courage sometimes falters. It is mainly owing to Susan's O hot fr, 4I,s- proves to have been for the best, keith's blindness included. His mis- fortune turns his cowardly, whining father into q man, and enables Keith himself, when the Great War renders the problem of the blinded soldier an urgent one, to be of the greatest use 10 the despairing men who are in a position very like his. Of course there is love story with happy ending.
 THE VALLEY OF VlsloN"-In the Valley of Vision Doubleday, Page & Cop Sarah Comstocll has treated the practical idealist in new way. The most materialistic money grabber, fol- lowing its pages, would surely be struck with the sanity of eXpending money to safeguard human life, 10 say nothing of bettering living conditions.
 There is nothing of the wildeyed re- former just a cool, unimpassioned, businesslike appeal to the best inter- ests of all. Coming just now. when the heart of the world is softened and it's vision broadened by the war won by idealists, for an ideal, it makes a preg- uant appeal
 Through it all. Miss Comstock man ages to make us love her heroine very tenderly and love ourselves quite com petely in following her progress. Since il all seems so true to life. as it is rather than life as we would wish it. # seems that we should not regret toe much that it does not end with better
