Romance and Mystery

THE BARTLETT MYSTERY. BY Louis
Tracy. Edward ]. Clode, New York
Mr.. Tracy's latest story satisfies the
two chief requirements of detective
fiction: mystery and excitement. The
heroine of the novel is disinherited
girl, who is kept out of her fortune by
two villains, one smooth-tongued
hypocrite who has become United
States Senator, the other staggering
Wild Western bully. Another sinister
figure in the book is the sister of the
bully, who poses as the girls aunt and
helps to keep her in ignorance of her
real parentage and fortune.
The heroine finds a protector in a
chlvalrous young millionaire, who falls
very much in love with her. With the
help of two astute and infallible de-
tectives, he finally wins decisive VIC
tory over the villains, one of whom
melodramaticallys shoots himself in the
last chapter Needless to say the
young millionaire marries the girl.
There are several thrilling automo-
bile races in the course of the story,
mostly punctuated with lively ex-
changes Of revolver shots. There are
exciting battles of wits and Drawn be-
tween the forces Of right and the
forces of crime; and there is enough
sentiment to appeal to those who like
a certain mixture of this essential in
gredient even in detective story.

A Good Idea Badly Handled

MIST OF MORNING BY Isabel Eccle-
stone Mackay. Published by George II.
Doran Company.
1t is unfortunate that the author Of
this book allowed coincidence to step
in and spoil what would have otherwise
been an exceptionally good piece Of
writing. Through thirds of the
story the action moves along unique
and decidedly realistic lines. The char
acters are markedly individualized and
each one has the pleasing faculty Of
being able to meet and handle his pc
culiar problems in a sane and red
blooded way. Then when situations
have reached an interesting climax and
the reader wonders how the dickens
David is going to get rid Of Clara. who
has engaged herself to him while being
passionately entanRled with Willard,
and puzzles with considerable interest
over the problem which confronts
Rosme, the author brings in an absurd
German spy, who wants David's ma
chine, has Willard steal the plans, get
shot at the feet of the hysterical Clara
and so leave David and Rosme to each
other.
BY the thinncst coincidence the story
achieves a conventionaliy happy end
ing-something it might justly have
had if the people concerned had been
allowed to settle what after all was not
particularly difficult problem. In
stead all right to thoughtful action is
wrested from them and the story
spoiled. However, the book is inter-
esting as good idea gone wrong.

Pigs Is Pets--- Says Hudson
The Book of a Naturalist Offers
Various Substitutes for Dog Place

when he might just as we'll have taken
gold. For the baseness of the metal
shows in spite of much polishing to
make it shine. Polishing powders we
have, but not the powders of projec-
ton; and the dog, with all his new
propensities, remains mentally a
jackal.'
Hudson is fertile in Offering sugges-
tions as to substitute for the dog In
his list are the marmoset, the lemur,
the squirrel the lagdium and the Pata-
gonian dolichotis. The last suggestion
strikes us as having much in its favor.
There would be something Of truly awe
inspiring nature in sign Beware of
the Patagonian dolichotis." But Mr..
Hudson does not insist on the dolichotis.
AS g matter of fact his favorite is the
pig. He devotes whole chapter to him
in which the pig is recommended as the
most attractive. Hudson defends the pig
from any charge of unclcanliness or
greediness.
with the single exception Of the dog,
Hudson's synpathies in the animal king
dom are broad and his interest acute.
For instance, in a chapter on "Hnts to
AdderS Seekers" we find our naturalist
holding an adder "by the tip of its tail
for nearly half an hour, until, exhausted
with its vain wriggling. it allowed it.
self to hang limp and straight" Hud-
son was intent upon measuring the
adder without being obliged to injure
1t. but his patience was in vain, for he
tells that as soon as he got out the tape
measure the adder would not remain
limp, FOR invariably whca the tape
was dropped at its side it drew itself
up IN a series OF curves and defeated
me- Not until then did Hudson avail
himself OF the method Of stunning the
adder first and then measuring it.
His book is an engrossing collection
of essays by stylist who is also a SCI
enlist, or the other way round if you
choose. At any rate, the book is to be
recommended not only as record of
original observation in the life of many
kinds of animal life, but for its bril-
uant exposition Of these observed facts.

that the miners would Immediately re-
slime work provided the railroad execu-

representatives of the banking institu-

commission with full power to investi-

Being in the blood, these dis

through the blood, and local ap-

ever. That is why salves, oint-

remedies applied to the skin can
do no more than give merely
temporary relief. Soon the
fiery itching breaks out again,

Don't Continue to Suffer Be-

ment.

If you are one of the thou
sands who are afflicted with any
form of irritating skin disease,
verify you know what real tor
ture is. You know well enough
what it means to lay awake at
night, rubbing and scratching
your raw, irritated skin, in a
vain endeavor to get relief from
the fiery burning.
Of course, the most serious
phase of skin disease is the al
most unbearable suffering
caused by the fiery itching and
irritation of the skin. In addi-
ton, the disease often causes un-
slightly roughness and discolora-
tions, disfiguring and spelling
the complexion, and leaving its
blighting marks in its wake.
Many a beautiful skin has been
marred by these disorders
which first appeared as tiny red
pimples.
At last science has determined
the real source of all skin dis
eases, and with this enlighten-
ment comes the reason why the
