BY Frances Parkinson Keyes
THE ENCHANTED CANYON. BY Tonore
W lllsie. Frederick a Stokes Company.
NHE first sensation experienced in
reading this novel is one of re-
lief. The second is something
very closely akin to delight. The relief
is due to several causes, the first one,
perhaps, being that after long sue
cession of tales that are simply a col
lection of rather feeble essays, in
which the author propourds his own
ideas and theories, loosely held to-
gether by few basting threads of plot,
where the characters move more or less
like NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. figures upon
which to drape few more ideas and
theories--it is distinctly refreshing to
come across a writer who still seems to
hold to the old-fashioned notion that
her first function is to tell a story!
And this she proceeds to do, with clear
ness and skill and not little charm.
The ideas and theories are there, of
course, but they do not jump at YOU
from every page; they wait modestly
somewhere in the background, allowing
you to discover them for yourself, if
you wish to, or to ignore them alto
gether, if all you care about is to fol-
low the hero from the slums of New
York, where you first meet him, to the
Senate chamber in Washington, where
you finally leave him--a journey suf-
flciently entertaining in itself to dis
pense with ideas and theories about it.
The story of self-made man. with
held from happiness by his own beset
ting SHIN this case passion for
gambling-and by the shameful life of
the woman supposed to be his mother,
but finally achieving it in spite of every
handicap, is not an entirely new one
but it has never been better told
swiftly, cleanly and vividly. There is
no unnecessary and morbid dwelling
upon foul subjects, but neither is there
avoidance of sane plain speaking. That
in itself, is an achievement of no small
merit.
The second sense of relief comes
from the fact that the writer undoubt-
! edly knows whereof she speaks and

Punch and Drinkwater

OHN DRlNKWATER, already ono
OF the most successful and
honored of dramatists, has now
achieved an additional honor. He has
been parodied in the immortal pages
OF his native Punch. Punch is. as
always, quite demure. He admins
ters some sly digs, but maintains on
the whole a genial, fatherly attitude
toward "John Linkwater." Punch
does not often condescend to parody
even his most eminent countrymen. 1t
is, therefore, in very select group
that Mr.. Drinkwater Is now num-
bered.

BURGLARS FAIL
TO GET IN STORE

The presence OF Carl wooison In
the Woolson Co. store, South Main
street Monday evening about o'clock
probably prevented II from being bur.
glarized.
Across the alley at the rear. the X.
Of p. band was practicing. While the
music was going, a heavy projectile
was thrown against the upper part Of
the large window on the left side OF
the store to the rear. The glass clat-
tered to the floor.
The noise brought Mr.. Woolson to
the rear Of the store. He quickly un-
locked the door and went into the al.
ley. but could see no one. Evidently
those who had intended making an
entry into the store had though diff.
ferently when they saw the presence
