SEPTEMBER wIND-sONGs
By Harriet G. Pennel

With and soft the winds of September
Now mellow, then blithy, they spin her sweet song,
With whisperngs and ispngs Of bliss and of beauty
List! list! the refrain fingers wistful and long.
Der fold and Ger wod now languidly signing,
Where swings the tall goldenrod gracefully gay.
Now dreamfully drifting garden and valley
Through forest isles gliding away and away
And out Of the distance hear your low waing
Foreshadowing autumn mid sedge and by stream.
Like watt Of soft music blown softly and sweetly
Across the still Of luminous dream.
oh. winds Of September ye hold IN year keeping

"The Shadow of
Malreward"

IN The ShadOw Of Malrewdrd J. B.
L Harris-Burland has written one of
those impossible mysteries that the
uniaded intellects of decade ago lost
their beauty sleep over. 1t is a coneoc-
ton of the ancient sure fire
material, including the mysterious
manor house with the sinister atmosphere
of impending disaster enveloping it, the
fiendish face at the window, the voice in
the darkness, the aged and loathsome
retainer who holds the lady of the manor
in his power and the ubiquitous Scotland
Yard detective, or do they call them in
spectorsl This chap detects, anyway, in
an ancient and approved manner.
The involutions of the plot would b.
hard to explain in a few lines but it
is all based on the supposed death oe
Lady Malreward's wicked husband
strange vow that she made under duress,
As craftsman j. b. Harris Burland
has his good points but as a deineator
of character he is hardly to be considered
in class with Penrod Schoiield. The
figures, if we except Hugh Chidley, the
ancient retainer, who does approximate
certain sincerity of expression, are all
stuffed. They move TO the demands Of
the plot like well ordered chessmen
Yet the thing holds the attention
closely. The element Of suspense is well
handled and the. impossibilities are
smoothed over in a clever fashion The
book should prove an excellent refuge
after the dinner hour

ID ICHARD HANNAY, secret ser
IN vice AGENT to the British Gov

D ICHARD HANNAY, secret ser
IN vice agent to the British Gov
ernment and late of The Thirty
Nine Steps and Greenmdntle, was too
good to be mewed up in a couple Of vol
umes. He has boiled over into third,
as virile as ever, and still chasing the
elusive villain. This time it is a case of
three times and out, for the villain is dis
posed of by German machine guns and
Richard succumbs to a pair of blue eyes.
The idea of a master mind who sits
somewhere in security weaving his ne
farious webs and thereby eomphcating in
ternational situations and almost (they
never quite do) bringing to a successful
conclusion vast schemes, Is not exactly
new in the Hist-I-hear-footsteps school of
fiction, but John Buchan pronounced
Buckan, as all good Seotchmen know has
given the old theme several new twists IN
M St0mdfast and is to be blessed by
lovers of mystery tales. Buchan has
nice eye for developing an adventure TO
nance that keeps the reader jogging from
page to page until the very end is
reached He proved this to the satisfac-
ton of thousands in GreenmantLe, and in
his latest, carrying on several of the old
characters, be has bettered that excellent
book. The war provides a foundation
for the new volume and some vivid and
well constructed adapting of the last
great German drive furnishes the climax.
First of all we have a supervilain. In
his complicated nature is combined all the
subtlety, the malevOlence, the destructive
cIeverness and adroitness of the legen-

John Buchan, author of "Mr. Standfast'

dairy secret agent of Germany. He is
sort of Cleek of the Forty Faces, too, be-
ing able to change his appearance at will.
Naturally he is an impossible villain, but
1t is satisfying to run across a good old
fashioned impossible villain once in
a while. This villains importance
may be realized when it IS mentioned that
a British Brigadier- General, Richard Han
nay, is removed from the line where he
has been winning the war for the Allies
and ordered to q small English town in
disguise to track the agent of Germany
down.
From the minute Dick Hannay arrives
in Biggleswick the complications start. In
half dozen disguises, chased over half
of Great Britain by the regularly stupid
police who are not in on the secret at
all, Dick pursues that villain. Aiding
him is his old American friend Blenk-
iron, and a beautiful creature named
Mary Lamington. The long arm of CO.
incidence plays its part time and again,
but Buchan is such a clever writer that it
is hardly noticed until the book is com
pletely read, and then, Of course, it doesn't
matter. Just how the German agent is
eventually circumvented and what fate
is parcelled out TO him is hardly fair to
reveal, but it is thrilling. and AN admirable
description Of that great British stand
with their backs to the wall and the
American engineers flung INTO the breach
becomes part Of it.
The literary finish thai John Bnchan
puts into his book must be highly re-
garded. f. Phillips Oppenheim would
probably handle the plot as adroitly but
it would be fuffier, sense of artifciality
would hover about it. Buchan is almost
Stevensonian in his lucidity and apparent
logic. He has shortcomings and they are
obvious enough, especially in the dialect
of his American character, and there are
places in the book where the villain, to
all appearances, might be easily captured.
But who wants villain to be captured
when Dick Hannay has more adventures
before him? On the whole the Scotch
author must be complimented. His OBJ
ject of an absorbing novel of plot and
counterplot with frequent dash of melo-
drama has been achieved.
Several portions of Mr.. Stdndfdst rise
above mere mystery fiction. This is true
of the description of a number of paci-
fists and their reasons for their stand.
These characters live with some degree
of authenticity. For that matter, Dick
Hannay and the German agent Graf Won
Schwabing are far from lay figures, al
though at times they are more creatures
Of exigencies than breathing characters.
Peter Pienaar, the Mr. StandfaSt of the
title, serves as an outlet for the authors

difficulty of tracking down the con-
nection between novels and their titles.
Whether il is that readers are more i'm
patient than they once were or writers
less obvious we do not know, but in
. order to satisfy popular demand we
nudge ourselves in the elbow before be-
ginning this commentary on Mary Inlay
Taylors new novel and remark that it
takes its title, A Candle IN the Wind, from
the old saying, "A mans life is like a
candle in the wind, or hoar frost on the
tiles" The rest of the text is Miss
Taylor's own and runs thus: "The
fame of mans soul may burn low and
flicker, but when it springs up in an act
Of sacrifice and atOnement il lights the
whole way upward
Two men, Arthur Faunce and Simon
Overton, have gone on a perilous expedl.
tion to the South Pole. Within a few
days of the end of their journey they
member of the party is frozen. 0verton
Is overcome next, and In a moment of
physical cowardice, arguing that it is
better to save one life than to sacrifice
two, Faunce abandons his friend, and re-
turning later finds no trace of his BODY
He gives a tragic report of Overton's
death, and, haunted by the memory OF
his betrayed friends face, returns to re-
ceive the empty plaudits of his world.
Diane Herford, heartbroken over the death
of 0verton, whom she had loved, is drawn
to Faunce by their common interests and
marries him. Close on the heels Of the
ceremony an extra announces 0vertons
rescue by party of Enghshmen-
Miss TayIor's book is so fine in many
respects as to make you wish that some
one had been at hand to take the pen
AWAY from her and smooth over the
rough places. 1t is evident that she is
vastly more engrossed with her work as
q psychologist than as a novelist and in
this case it is fortunate preference, as
: the book might easily have been a movie
and, in spite of all temptations, has re-
manned novel
The position of Diane Herford, con-
fronted by the heroic figure of man
whom she would still love if she had not
yhn
vealed as the victim of her husbands
cowardice, is one that compels interest.
Treated as Miss Taylor treats it, it can
be read by the majority of readers at one
sitting. The book would have been more
artistic for added thought on details, but
it is so firmly wrought and honestly con-
ceived that one is loath to dwell upon
its defects. In spite Of three hundred and
fifty pages, it gives the effect of a short
story, and for this reason the absurdities
stand out the more clearly.
In the first place Miss Taylor might
have spared us the conjunction of the
extra and the marriage. In the second,
when Faunce denies the possibility of
Overton's rescue and drags Diane into
retirement to escape the inevitable ex-
posure, it is not likely that he would
knowingly select Overton's birthplace as
the retreat. 1t is not more unlikely but
perhaps more absurd that woman of
reasonably sound mind in imminent like
ihood of becoming a mother should go
on a polar expedition.

saying he said:
II didn't tell the old man thing.
I'm not telling anybody but Mr.. Gaskill
l had been working on this case just
fifty-five days to the very hour Of the
arrests
Detective Wilson is credited with
solving many other mysteries of At
lantic County. He is about forty-five
years old, brown eyed and dark COM
plexioned.
Detective Nusbaum, one of his sub
ordinates, was slightly more communi-
cative. He said:
"You don't want to forget that Billy
Dansey's dog Jack was shot about two
weeks before the doy disappeared. The
dog still lmps, for there is birdshot
in his hind leg and some more in one
of his ears. The day Billy disappeared
was the first time the dog had been out
Of the house since he was shot. Charlie
White was asked at the inquest if he
had shot at the dog to drive it out
of his dahllas, and he said he had not.
But he has admitted that he didn't
want the dog in his dahlias."
Coroner Is Surprised
Chief Burdick was not the only off,
cial of Hammonton who disagreed with
the prosecutor over the arrest of
White and Mrs. Jones.
DR.. Charles Cunningham, Coroner of
Atlantic County and Mayor-elect of
Hammonton, said:
81 don't want to criticize Prosecutor
Gaskill, but for the life of me l can't
see what possessed him to arrest
White and Mrs. Jones. What evidence
has he got? Has he found the instru-
mcnt with which the boy was killed I?
Has he found some other relic of the
crime to direct suspicion at these
people? I don't think so, but l do
know that there is evidence to war;
rant the arrest Of two other people.
l shan't name them now. But they
are here"
Mrs. Dansey, Billy's mother, embit-
tered with sorrow and resentful Of the
gossip that has been making free with
her name since the police dipped into
her past life, refused to receive any
visitors in Hammonton, except one or
two close friends. One of these is
Mrs. Aigner, the wife of Lieutenant
Commander J. w. Aigner, of the u. S.
S. Idaho.
After a visit with Mrs. Dansey yes

where, into the house l believe. That's
why they arrested Mrs. Jones, he told
me. He said they had found evidence
of first aid on the skeleton of the bow.
Wilson said Mrs. Jones tried to doctor
the child, gave him first aid treatment.
He also asked me about the boxes
IN which we ship dahlias to New York.
These are three and half feet long
and about fourteen inches deep. Will

No Chance to Get Lawyer
II asked Charlie if they told him he
had right to have a lawyer, and he
said they didn't tell him anything, ex-
cept that things had better be rushed
so ne could get out of reach of Ham,
monton. My son is taking the whole
thing lot more cody than I am"
The Chief Of Police of Hammonton.
p: A: Burdick, who accompanied old
Mr.. White, member of the Town
Council, to Mays Landing, to-day, broke
in at this point to say:
II came over here to-day because
honestly believe the prosecutor has
made a mistake. l worked on this case
from the start, and it was more than
a week later that l and Mr.. White here
called in the county detectives because
1t was too much for us to solve. These
county detectives practically kidnapped
Charlie White last night. There was
no excuse for it, because there wouldn't
have been any trouble in Hammonton.
Folks over there to-day are saying that
Charlie is getting raw treatment"
"The police Of Hammonton didn't
know about these arrests until after
the secret hearing before the magis-
trate and after Charlie White and Mrs.
Jones were locked up over here in
Mays Landing"
Burdlck is young man and his blue
uniform as Chief of Police is not un-
like that of private watchman. Mrs.
Jones's son William, rosy checked, short
and rotund and wearing eyeglasses,
came out into the rain-soaked court
