Mr.. Walpole makes Petrograd as memorable a
city az does Tolstoy his Moscow, with Napoleon
gazing upon its rounded domes. And that is mem
orable indeed, as any one who ever read WGr and
Peace will certify. An intensely eolorful city,
lighted by stars and bonires exhaling the stink of
the swamp and Rasputin's corpse, colby menaced
by the frozen Neva River, volcano of human des-
tiny with its thick ice melting rapidly from the
heat of terrible flames underneath. A city where a
great Shiny beast seems to appear geographically
from the sheeted waters of the canal. city where
always there stands sihouetted against the even

peasant, grave, controlled, thoughtful, watching.
A city of dream-only the dream is true.

w Walpole as young MAN. not
because he ism t so old in years but be-
cause he is so young in achievement
Facing the title page of his new novel,
The Secret City, the reader finds q
list of ten volumes Of fiction. Mr..
Walpole might fairly be called an old
hand at writing, therefore. But it is
only within the last half dozen years
that he has done his distinguished
work. And it is only with The Secret
City, we declare, that he has shown
what work he can do.
For there can be no doubt about it;
this is noteworthy book, a beauti-
fully written book and7what is best
of ala book with backbone. You
may like it or you may not; you will
be unable, we believe, TO withhold ad-
miration. That any one, except pos
sibly Joseph Conrad, should have
written such a novel in English is
hard to believe. Of course, if the
book had come out anonymously, we
might hesitate to attribute it to Con-
rad because the story is not told as he
would almost certainly have told it,
the order of the telling differs, the
choices of words are different, the
action, both inner and outer, is less
explicit than he would have made it.
But while we were hesitating we
would all be asking: "Well, if Con-
rad didn't write it, who didi Who
else could:" And there would be no
answer. :
Inasmuch as the story is one which
will dissatisfy many readers, and puz-
zle others, while delighting thousands
more and exciting ION all sides) con-

battling or not, there is no disbelieving
in them. Two of the most important
-Alexei Petrovitch Semyonov and
John Durward, the narrator-are

novel, The Dark Forest. It is not
absolutely necessary that before read

The Dark Forest, but it is much to be

Petrovitch (the overshadowing char
acter) as adequately as you ought to

But about the others, the others be-
sides the sinister Alexei Petrovitch.
Take poor old Markovitch, for ex-
ample. It's not easy, of course, to see
him as anything but a self-befooled,
ridiculous figure until you grasp that
he had three ideals to live up to. The
first was his wife, Vera; then there
were his hopeless, inventions; lastly,
there was Russia. Came time when,
as young Bohun, one of the English
men, put it: He'd lost Russia, he
was losing Vera, and he wasn't very
sure about his inventions" At the
last he chung to Russia, hopefully. This
revolution meant something wonder
full for her-and for the whole world!
Then, with his firm white hand strok-
ing his honey colored beard, Alexei
Petrovitch would smile and say to his
brother-in-law: "Well, now, Nicolai
Leontievitch, what do you think now
of your fine Revolutioni Too
optimistic, weren t youi"
Take Vera, beautiful and with i'm
mortal pride; with a great and candid
courage, too. She had her sister, the
girlish Nina, she had her husband.
