King Constantine
Rulers War Policy De-
tended by Paxton Hibben

~ 7 OW that the Greek royal family
~ has captured the spotlight
with its succession of ro-
mantle marriages, Paxton Hibben's
constantine I and the Greek People"
just released by the Century Company
after three years suppression due to
government censorship, comes with
special timeliness, presenting, as it
does. the deposed monarch of the
Hellenes as much maligned and
really heroic figure, who sacrificed even
his throne in the interests of his coun-
try.
Mr.. Hibben, who was special CORE
spondent for The Associated Press
during the years when the Allies were
trying to force Greece into the war,
backs up his assertion that Constan-
tine was at all times sympathetic with
and loyal to the Allied cause, with ap
parently irrefutable data taken from
the statements issued by the King. by
Eenizelos and by the representatives.
OF the Allied governments, data which
never reached this country owing to
the strict censorship which was exer-
cised over all news dispatches sent out
from Greece during the period of the
war. The author points out that at
three distinct times Constantine Of
fered to join the Allied forces, but on
each occasion the offer was refused
owing to diplomatic reasons on the
part of one or other of the Allied
nations; that his only reluctance to
came frem the knowledge that such
action would only mean the ruin and
destruction of his courtry--as it had
meant the ruin and destruction of
Serbia-with no appreciable gain for
the Allies.
While there will undoubtedly be
some who will read Mr. Hibben's book
ard remain unconvinced as to Con-
stantine's loyalty to the Allies, even
for tbe most ardent followers of Veni-
zelos "Constantine I and the Greek
People" will prove interesting 'cading.
Mr.. Hibben's style is too spirited and
too captivating not to prove amply re-
warding 20 the moot prejudiced reader,
and the intimate, frst-hand account
which ne gives Of the events which
took place in Greece during the first
three years of the war is too valuable
f, om the standpoint of historical rec
ord not to win the attention and
gratitude of all who want a fair and
accurate presentation of the facts.

Notes of a Famous Traveller

Charles Scribner's Sons will have
ready shortly the volume of Notes to
Marco Polo" by Professor Henri Cor

Sir Henry Yule's translation OF "The
Book OF Ser Marco Polo," published in
1903. Professor Cordier embodies In
the present work all the fresh infor-

lowing somewhat caustic eharacteriza-
tion Of these devotees OF the cult of
beauty:
They could not hold the head up
right; they must droop it or hold it
sideways, like the heads of figures in
Surne-Jcnes's pictures or like lily
bloom too heavy for its stalk. Every
thing about them must fall and droop.
Their hair must be worn long-I write

must be flowing and falling; it mpEt

figure at all-this is to be said of both
women and men, for though the former
could most easily SO modify the exist
ing fashion as to let the garments fall

allowed to trail, still the men could do

The remark of Philadelphia book
seller. AT last we have best seller.
The life-ssver is Joseph Conrad's The
Rescue" goes far toward shattering
the age-old superstition that real
artist can never be best seller. Yet
1t is true that for years Conrad was
caviar to the many. While critics were
exalting him as one of the greatest
living stylists the general reader held
aloof. 1t must then be some other ele-
ment in his books which has won him
the interest of the multitude who read
and are responsible for best sellers.
The Chicago Journal believes that
most critics fail to stress the fact that
Conrad tells "corking story" and
exalt his mastery of language at the
expense of more important qualities.
Conrad was thinker before he was
a writer" says the Journal" "He is
an unrivaled explorer of the mysterious
recesses Of human nature, but he ex-
plores so we'll because, like Dr.. Liv-
ingstone. he goes so we'll equipped to
understand and explain what he finds.
He mixes his spiritual travels as the
painter in the anecdote mixed his
colors-'with brains, sir To read
Conrad is to take a journey to lands
interesting in themselves, and made
doubly so by the aid of guide who is
likewise philosopher and friend
There is another gift of Conrad
which comes in for still less critical
notice-the gift of tory-telling. Thou
sands of readers have been frightened
away by essays in Conrad's introspec-
ton and polished style who never hear
OF his ability to tell rafting good
tale. His short stories, so called. show
this narrative gift at its highest. The
Inn Of the Two Witches is as perfect
plot and form as anything ever done by
Poe. The Duel is a marvellous study
of the Interviewing of affection and
enmlty, but it is likewise what Roose-
Welt would have called perfectly
corking story"

French Fiction." II contains two
novelettes, "The Story of Cotton Con-
nixloo" and Forgotten" both by Ca
mile Mayran and both translated by
Van Wyck Brooks, whose "Ordeal of
Mark Twain" is Just now attracting n
great deal of attention. Both the
stories are exQuisitely written, with
probing into the human heart. And.
in strong contrast to much of the
French fiction which has been trans
lated into English, what the author
has found in his probing into the
hearts Of these French men and women
and children in these two tales is fine
and good and simple and true. These
people in his novelettes may be mis-
taken sometimes in their actions. but
they follow their best lights and are
very human and they reveal the real
stuff of which French character is
made. The first of the stories deals
with the life of girl in the north OF
France and of the martyrdom which
she chose in order to save her village
and explate her wrong doing. The
other is the poignant story of French
girl who loved more deeply than did
her hetrothed. Both are concerned
with the war. The Library" is under

CHAPTER w.

I had twice traversed the cross lane
near McGowan's Pass tavern waiting
for Barbara Bradford. Although it
had been my intention to ride thither
I was amazed to learn on applying at
two of the stables near the park en-
trance to hire a horse that the few
they had there either were owned pri-
vately or had been already engaged.
There was nothing for me to do but
to go to my rendezvous on foot. had
almost despaired of Miss Bradford's
coming when 1 spied her cantering
slowly along the lane, followed at a
decorous distance by a groom. She
was looking right and left and when
she saw me her face frightened but
she rode few steps past me with no
sign of recognition. I was wondering
what to make of this new slight when
she suddenly reined in and allowed
the groom to come up with her.

groom, my head aches, and the rid

STOMACH TROUBLE AND
CONSTIPATION ENDED
Year, but Mr.. Mccormick Was
Cured Promptly.

Il had stomach trouble and constipa-
ton for five years. One year of this time
1 was unable to work, suffering untold
agony. I doctored with some of the best
physicians, also took many proprietary
medicines, but could not find permanent
relief. Finally friend recommended
Milks Emulsion. The first few doses re-
heved me greatly, and three bottles of it
effected permanent cure.'-C. A. Nc
Cormick, Anderson, Ind.
Mr.. Mccormick is only one of many
hundreds who have endured torture for
years and then found that Milks Emul-
sion gives blessed relief and real, lasting
benefit. 1t, costs nothing to try.
Milks Emulsion is a pleasant, nutritive
food and a corrective medicine. It re-
stores healthy and natural bowel action,
doing away with all need of pills and
physics. 1t promotes appetite and quickly
puts the digestive organs in shape to as
simulate food. AS a builder of flesh and
strength Milks Emulsion is strongly rec
commended to those whom sickness has
weakened, and is a powerful aid in re-
sisting and repairing the effects of vast
ing diseases. Chronic stomach trouble
and constipation are promptly relieved
usually in one day.
This is the only solid emulsion made,
and so palatable that 1t is eaten with a
spoon like ice cream. Truly wonderful
for weak, sickly children.
No matter how severe your case, you
are urged to try MiIks Emulsion under
this guarantee-Take six bottles home
with you, use it according to directions.
and If not satisfied with the results your
money will be promptly refunded. Price

information concerning the pterodac-
tyl. He says: "From the standpoint
of dimensions it ranks as the largest
flying creature that has ever lived.
The skeleton just mounted measures
sixteen feet from wing-tip to wing-tip,
and would have a stretch of nearly
twenty-one feet if the wings were pull
ed out straight.
"It is nearly all wings and head,
with a little bit of body, slender
hind legs and mere stump of tail.
Che head consists chiefly of a long,
pointed beak and an equally long, bony
crest projecting backward.
"The wings were long and narrow
and composed of thin, leathery mem
brane like the wings Of bats. But
they were stretched on the long ex-
tended fourth finger only, the other fin
gers being little rudimentary claws,
by which the animal probably hung
when at rest. The wings were evi.

that of the albatross. In fact, the

THE REQUESTS.

Sometimes when the great store was
dark and when the people had gone
home the things in the store had story
telling hours and games and frolics
and all sorts Of nice times.
Sometimes they talked and some
times they played and sometimes they
would sing to themselves and to each
other
There were times, too, when they
would tell what had gone on during
the long day when people had been
shopping and when children had come
and gone and come back again.
Many long talk did they all have
and they had so much to tell always
of what happened in the daytime.
They had so many children they want
ed to describe to each other, children
some had missed seeing. So this is
what happened one evening, and per-
haps we may hear of some more
things that happened too, later on.
But to go on with what happened on
this evening, just after the people had
left the store.
children's store which sold everything
anyone could think of-from canary
birds to party frocks-was silent and
still. All the counters We're covered
with dark-blue linen covers. Every
thing, in short, was put away for the
night.
Suddenly there came laughing. All
46o
books and sashes peeped out from
their blue coverings and began to
laugh too. Just then, flying down the
aisles of the store, between the coun-
ters, came a fairy.
'fIt's such joke, such a joke" she
said. "They all think we've gone to
rest. Of course 1 am not dress, nor
am sash, but play with all of you
and so 1 say we in a most friendly
manner. To be sure you all do have a
rest, later on, for you need it after
the day you've had. But for a time
we play"
"Oh," said blue apron, 81 had the

stretch out. No one seemed to like
me much so first I was thrown one
way and then another. I thought my
poor calico legs and arms would never

most uncomfortable"

about" said a party dress from near

cized and tried on again. Oh, my feel

even the ancestors of all the higher
quadrupeds with which we are familiar
had yet come into being. Save for
those tiny quadrupeds or mammals,
so far as we know. in. these marshes
and forests that bordered the great
central sea. Nor were birds, If there
were any at all, common enough to have
left their bones in the great reptilian
cemetery. Crocodiles there were
aplenty, and great turtles; various
sorts of fish and some peculiar kinds
of aquatic reptiles; and an occasional
plesiosaur or great sea-reptile made
its way up the rivers from the ocean.
But the chief inhabitants were dino
saurs, the lords of the swamp and
forest, great long-legged reptiles Of
strange and varied form.
The majority of them were herb
ivorous-browsing or grazing creatures
corresponding to the hoofed animals
of the modern world. OF these there
were chief kinds: the Horned Dino
saurs, big rhinoceros-like quadru-
peds; the Armored Dinosaurs, covered
with great bony plates from head to
tail, and the Duck-billed Dinosaurs,
which walked or ran upon the hind
legs and had no horns or armor, but
were excellent swimmers. Then there
were various kinds of carnivorous
dinosaurs which preyed upon their
vegetarian relatives. All these were
bipeds, using their fore-feet only to
seize and tear their prey, and their
long tail to balance the body in run
ming. Some of these were huge and
powerful, others quite small and
speedy.
1t is only in recent years, and
through the explorations of such rich
fossil fields as those of the Red Deer
river that we have come to know
much about this world of the Dino
saurs and to realize what it was like.
There is very little in the text books
about these recent discoveries. Many
Of them have not yet been published.
But the visitor at the Dinosaur hall
of the American museum of natural
history can see there a surprising num-
Der and variety of these bizarre and
formidable beast, and will see many
more as the explorations and exhibit

The museum has also Just placed
