ships of the kind in which Manon Lescaut
made her last voyage to America
Naney's disguise as the youth Monsieur
Luronne lasts until the ship has almost
reached Tortuga, when it is revealed
through an attack made on her by Yellow
Eyes, the tongueless rogue who kidnapped
her and was shanghaied aboard the ship
in turn. The eyes Of the wicked Governor
d'Oregnn fall on her and he proposes to
make her his bride, fourth in order, as
she learns. Then she learns of the thirty
English prisoners confined in the Gov
ernor's castle, and with the aid of Barney
she defeats the Governors plan, releases
the men and makes her escape from the
island with them on the ship that brought
her there. That is a scene with a punch!
Thereafter the tale moves on the Span

marry him, and so back to England,

An Ancient Textbook

TT AMILTON'S Essentials Of Arth-
Il metic contains some astonishing,
unmathematical and unverifable PROPOSE
tions. Here are some open lies secretly
arrived at.
Instance Under the head of Oral Work
on page 2S7 we come across this astound-
ing sentence: "a boy earned $1.75 day.
How much did he earn in SIX days?"
This is ancient measure. No boy works
for $175 a day at present, and no boy
works six days eoncussively. Boys get
from So to So per diem and quit after the
second day on private business"
"A workman earned 81 a day. How
much did he earn in fve-eighths of 4
day7" Doesn't Mr.. Hamilton know that
no workman can earn fve-eighths of a
days pay7 If he is fired for being stewed,
for instance, five minutes after he began
work he must be paid for the full day.
And, again, where is the man who works
for 81 dayf -Four dollars is merely the
bonus he collects when he signs up for the
days work.
"a man whose income was $500 year
spent three-eighths of this amount for a
years rent. Find the monthly rent bill?"
Another gross misprint. 1t should read,
Find the diSpOssess notice. A man who
gets $3.50 year cannot, should not, does
not, pay rent. He may suitcase at the
most and live in the bathroom with a cat
. What are we to think of the rest of the
book after such fantastic examples as the
above? Does it not ribrate this statement,
Imong many others, which we came across
on page Is: 6x6= 36f Or take the state
.ment that sixteen ounces make pound
Has Mr.. Hamilton ever bought his butter
IN Bronx delieatessen store which We
know? a,----
"Ten cents make dime This we find
in the table of reference" Every boy
that buys soda for dime knows he has
got to lay down eleven cents.
In many respects an excellent book, but
newly revised? Wen say it isn't.

George Rothwel Brown sketehed out
Beyond the Sunset he may have had some
faint idea in his mind of providing 4
double relief, that which comes from read
ing good yarn of the Spanish Main in
the days of Morgan and that derived from
contemplation of the fact that the old
time pirates had more engaging qualities
than have our present type
Purely artificial though it be, Browns
tale has the quality to hold the readers
interest and, once at least, to make his
heart beat faster That is in the moment
when Nancy Chillingworth stands off the
wicked French Governor of the Island Of
Tortuga with gun she has plucked from
the wall of his room, and with the aid of
Barney McGiggen binds up the Governor,
the dumb villain Yellow Eyes, and re-
leases the thirty English prisoners from
the castle dungeon. No wonder Nancy's
father thought her stout enough to be
dressed as youth and TO go to England
from Lille in France, where he lay pro
seribed man, with a secret message to the
enemies of King Charles. Yet that adj
venture was Nancy's undoing. For at its
very outset she was kidnapped and taken

nance Of the stage was originally pub

and everything about it will be remem-

It's conclusion. With all these years to
think it over, it is astonishing that Mr..
Merrick should have failed to remove the
offending last chapter, but as the edition
TO which the volume belongs contains the
authors final corrections, we must re-
concile ourselves to it, and overlook its
fatness in our enjoyment of the preced
ing chapters.
SO many of US are familiar with The
Position Of Peggy Harper or have already
had occasion to read reviews of it that
the important thing about the present
edition Is that it is one of uniform and
limited collection, and has an introduction
which adds greatly to its interest.
"Any ordinarily equipped story writer
desiring to treat of the theatre Pinero
writes, %could, without great expenditure
of mental effort, conceive the story Of
Peggy Harper. But, having conceived
it, nobody, 1 am convinced, could un-
fold it In such a eonsumately natural,
enforced way as Mr.. Merrick unfolds it,
nor people it as he peoples it."

half-sentence what another writer will
