THE COTTAGE OF DELIGHT
 By Will N. Harben. Frontispiece. Harper
 Bros, Publishers, New York city.
 The scene of Will NJ Harben's story, The Cottage of Delight" is laid in his own familiar state of Georgia, but shifts temporarily first to Tennessee and later to New York, returning after each di- vergence to Ridgeville, the Georgia town which was the birthplace and residence or the hero and principal character, John Trott There he lived with his widowed mother, who also shared her house with friend, Miss Jane Holder, and the lat ter's orphan niece, Dora, a nine-year- old child, who acted as maid of all work and general drudge Both Johns mother and her friend, Miss Holder, were mo- toriously disreputable women, but John though nearly 70, was not aware of the fact, and paid little or no attention to their behavior even when they came home drunk, being completely absorbed in his work-he was an expert mason and in the calculations and estimates he made for his employer and good friends, Sam Cavanaugh. It never even occurred to him to wonder why it was that '' he had no acquaintance among the women of the town and few among the men, while the women who came from other cities to see his mother and Jane Holder were not of type which appealed to his cry idealistic temperament. Though he did sometimes find the squalor and gcl- eral disorder of his home vaguely uncom- fortable, he was fairly contented until it so chanced that Cavanaugh took him to Tennessee, there to work with him on new county courthouse.
 Of the plot TO. more than this shall be said here: It has to do with a strange man who came one night to the house Of the estmable and much-esteemed Mir. Simon Batter, lawyer and procurator fiscal in a small country town. The visit had very curious effect upon Simon, as his housemaid Mary MacLean, noticed. He looked and acted, she thought. as though he felt that he was being watched. But his behavior tfd not seem a matter of any particuar1fn- portance compared with the tidings which, couple of days later, amazed and shocked the entire district. Sir Reg inald Cromarty of keldale House, the most popular man in that particular part of Scotland had been murdered From the very first it was all mysteries enough; nevertheless. as time went on It kept growing more and more mysteri- out, until the detective, when finally he arrived. found himself in the midst of as perplexing problem as he could well hope to encounter. And of course there was love story, and very pretty one. too, which became neatly mixed tip With all the rest The puzzle absorbed the de- tectve's interest and it absorbes the reader so thoroughly that he will prove himself a strong minded person indeed who can cheerfully put down the book before he has discovered the solution.
