He had crossed the Harlem River
over the Willis Avenue Bridge and
had skirted Thomas jefferson Park,
according to Mr.. Tracy. His name is
Rex Carshaw and he is gentleman,
but for all that he can take off his
coat and roll up his sleeves and re-
trieve the family fortune. What we
liked a lot was the little episode re-
sponsible for his first encounter with
Winifred Bartlett. While frivolling
around Thomas Jefferson Park Rex
met an express wagon of the low,
brutal sort that has no respect for
Fifth avenue equipages. The diff
ferential was smashed. Mr.. Tracy
says:

neighboring garage, and greatly in
terested crowd provided an i'm

promptu jury for the dispute between
Carshaw and the express man.
"The latter put up a poor case.
1t consisted almost entirely of the Bit
ter and oft-repeated plant:
"'What was a car like that doin'
here, anyhow?'
"The question sounded foolish. 1t
was nothing of the kind. Only the
Goddess of Wisdom could have an.
swered it, and she, being invisible, was
necessarily dumb"
III.
Which brings us to the noteworthy
fact that Tracy does not hesitate to
handle American slang, in the talk
of his people, and handles it, ON the
whole, with much verisimilitude. He
makes, so far as our observation went,
hardly any of the plumbers that
Stephen McKenna in Midas and Son,
Stacy Aumonier, in The QuerrilS, and
other English novelists in other re-
cent stories fall into. OF course,
Tracy has been over here and gone
about a bit-he was in New York
less than year ago-but something
more than visits or even residence is
required to become facile in New York

argot. 1t seems to be difficult mat
ter, like learning foreign language.
Moreover, slang changes SO rapidly
that by the time you have mastered
its latest intricacies it has gene on
to a whole new set Of expressions.
Many story is accurately dated by
the slang in it. The only really safe
way is to manufacture your own, as
o. Henry was sometimes wont to do.
To resume The Bartlett Mystery:
Winifred's connection with it is
through the woman, known to her as
her aunt, with whom she lives. Why
should Rachel Craik, the aunt person,
meet Senator Meiklejohn and tell him
in menacing accents that he must
meet two men at the Eighty-sixth
landing stage at 9, bringing $500i
Why should the Senator acquiesce and
why should Ronald Tower, mistaken
for the Senator, be laSsoed and drag
ged into the river? Well, it will not
do for us to tell the why of these
things. But the answers are altogeth-
er too simple, to our way. of thinking.
We are disturbed when We think how
easily they may be guessed two-thirds
of the way through the book. That
is not what should happen when you
are reading mystery story.
A mystery story, provided it is
book length, should always contain
more than one mystery to give plot
thickness, true puzzlement and tex
ture. Recently we read Clifford Ray
mond's One of Three and were APP
palled to find that it contained only
one little concealment to uncover at
the end of nearly 800 pages. Think
of Wilkie Collins, if you please; think
of not only The Moonstono but Of
The Woman in White and The LdD
and the Lady Ito take Collins tale
of present day lengthy. Wasn't there
more than one hidden thing in these
tales? Well declare there was.
Wasn't there character stuff 1t is
our guess-so. Wasn't there an at
mosphere of the uncanny, the weird,
the tragedy-impending, the incredi-
bly-romantic, the heritage Of the-past,
the observation-disclosures
gle-trifieY They can't tell us differ
ent.
And Tracy, too, can cast spells. Go
into book store of any pretensions
and ask for The Wings of the Morn
ing. You will find they always try
to keep few copies in stock. There
was magic in that tale. Get hold Of
his story of the lighthouse, The Pillar
of Light. Atmosphere there! No
Winifred Bartlett and Senator Mel
klejohn, Mick the Wolf, Rex Carshaw
that sort of an outfit. They leave
no impression on our minds and we
are certain in a week. we shall have
forgotten their names or what they
did.
This is utterly unreasonable. The
Bartlett Mystery is excellent for .
three hour train ride. You might take
it with you the next time you run
down to Atlantic City.
THE BARTLETT MYSTERY. BY LOUIS
~

Il the front of his latest discloses
The Bartlett Mystery as his
twenty-second>book. 1t follows Mum
Der Seventeen and the one before that
was The Jewellers. Then in and be-
tween and around and about some
time or other not long ago Mr.. Clode
who publishes all Of Tracy's books on
this side of the ocean, brought out
The House Round the Corner, by
"Gordon Holmes" whom, with fair
reason, we suspect to be Mr.. Tracy
performing under a pen name. So
the outstanding thing in our thoughts
about the author of The Wings of the
Morning is his exceeding industry.
Every six months book, and some
times an extra, by "Gordon Holmes"
Well?
We have no objection to an indus
trious life lived by anybody, and we
know well that Mr.. Tracy's public
looks for a volume every six months.
We know that perfectly because we
are one of his public. Still, we would
prefer him to do story only once a
year and do it up to the hilt. Read
ing his recent books a deep dissatis-
faction has permeated us. We have
felt that he ought to make them bet.
ter. More complicated, more absorb
ing. With much more characterize
ton, atmosphere, charm. In our
thoughts we bark back to his The
Wings of the Morning and The Pillar
Of Light, and we keep wondering if
they were not better tales than these
he has written for us lately. Perhaps
it is only the glamour that everything
gets through time and distance. We
hope it is; but the doubt remains.
II.
Proceeding to The Bartlett Mystery
it may be said at the outset that this
will have some additional interest for
American readers because the scenes
of the tale are laid in and about New
York city. The young woman around
whom the narrative centres lives on
East 10th street. Every morning
when the weather permits she walks
about four miles on her way to work.
She goes across the north end of Cen
trail Park. Mr.. Tracy tells you just
what entrance she goes in and by and
just what exit she uses. He takes you
with her to Riverside Drive. After
the exercise of walking she takes the
Ninth avenue elevated and goes to
her occupation in Greenwich Village.
Be not disturbed, she is not an artist.
She does not live in a renovated stable
nor does she move along with cigar
cite between her lips. She is wage
slave in book binding plant where
all Mr.. Tracy's stories are bound in
red with black lettering on the covers.
We don't recall that Tracy tells just
what minutia of bookbinding Miss
Bartlett attends to. But it is I'M
important, anyway. She is modest
girl and utterly at the mercy of a
severe forewoman. Almost at the
mercy of a smirking, foorwalker sort
of male too. But just when he is

MALE QUARTET PLEAsES.
Second Number on Entertainment
Course Received Heartily.

Before a large audience at the
Methodist church Monday night the
Criterion Male Quartet appeared as
the second Offering of the community
entertainment course and was most
heartily received. In response to gen.
erous applause that greeted every
number the quartet was very gracious
and the program of twelve selections
was increased to more than twice that
number.
The entertainment was most pleas
ing, and the numbers provided on the
program were of a character that APP
pealed strongly to the audience. Dud-
ley Bucks "Twilight,' opening the
first part of the program, and Sun
set" by Vanderwater, the first num-
Der of the second part. provided the
two heavier offerings. In harmony,
however, the lighter numbers were Of
the same degree of high perfection and
the program thruout was finished in
every detail. ss.

each member of the organization APP
peared in solo. John Young. first

accompaniment. A little touch of per-
sona interest in the singers encore
was afforded by the explanation that
he soon expected his boy home from

imagine one was listening to the anvil

the singer should be costumed for a
role in the Verdi masterpiece rather
than in evening dress. AS an encore

Interspersing the program among
the encores were several humorous
numbers, together with a great many
