Captain Brockus of the state po-

a special train and marshalled a
force of 20 troopers and deputies to
go to the trouble zone when they
heard of the fresh outbreaks. The
train also was loaded with provis-

Story Of a Mucker-A Girl
in Revolt

THE MUCEER. BY Edgar Rice Bur-
rroashs; Published by A. c. Mcclurs &
Co. Chicago. sl.ao
JESS OF the REBEI. TRAIL BY II. A.
Nody. Published by George Il. Doran
Company. $l9o,
TDGAR RICE BURROUGHS has
L. already shown in his "Tarzan"
and "Martian" tales that he can
crowd more action into a story than
any other living writer. "The Mucker," ;"
in certain sense, represents a descent
to earth on the authors part. The scene
is not laid in Mars, or even in the un-
charted jurgles OF Africa, where Tar
zan wins his great victories. Billy
Byrne, the hero, is a product Of the
Chicago Sums; and his adventures
take place in such recognized localities
as Kansas, Mexico and the South Seas.
But there is no falling off in the red
blooded quality which is the hallmark
Of Mr.. Burroughs's fiction. Billy seems
to possess far more lives than the pro-
verbal cat. He survives mutiny,
shipwreck, encounters with head
hunters and Mexican bandits. He
is adept in the use of any kind of weap-
on. He fights the head hunters OF
South Sea island with Japanese swords;
and he is just as deadly with six
shooter as is William S. Hart He
rescues the girl whom he loves from
more appalling predicaments than one
would think girl could get into; and
when he finally wins her hand one
feels that he has more than earned his
reward
Something of contrast is jess of
the Rebel Trail The action here is
confined to a narrow area OF land in
Canada; and the characters, as rule,
are more apt to resemble the sober folk
ef everyday life than the resplendent
heroes and Williams OF "The Muckcr."
However, there are elements OF ex-
citement and mystery in the story. An
exchange Of babies initiates a series
OF complications which are cleared up,
curiously enough, with the help Of
forest fire. One very likable character
in the story is Samuel Tobin, captain
and owner OF ship picturesquelv
named the Eb and Flo.

4 MBITION should induce con-
~ sstent and steady effort by an
Individual to get the best out of
himself in terms of sound health and
honest service to others. This i'm
portant book, by a man who knows his
subject thoroughly, is written in a con-
versational style. 1t aims TO make a
man go over his furniture Of mental
and physical equipment and see If he
can in any way improve on what he has
aud then win the full fruits Of his
abilities. There is little comfort in
these pages for the materialist or for
him who interprets life in sentences OF
self promotion along central lines.
Every man needs a generous recogni-
tion of the requirements of his fellows
and rigid study of his own relations
to society. When he establishes his
true connections with the many ac-
tivites of life that touch him on every
hand, he will have gone far toward
utilizing the last fragment of his
powers, as coal under blast yields COM
plete heat. There is philosophy of
life lived happily, in full tide of su-
preme endeavor, and Mr.. Bruce gives
many suggestions that will aid one to
realize the ideal of his absolute self
when comprehended honestly.
