THE THIRTEEN TRAVELLERS BY
Hugh Walpoe George II. Doran
Company.
/" HE thirteenth traveller, dear
reader, is YOURSELF and the lit
tie journeys you are to make
in the company of the other twelve
will be mainly about London with a
central point in Horizons Chambers, a
building of flats in the heart of the
city, and that you know is near the
Marble Arch and Charing Cross and
Piccadilly and everything that is truly
cockney. But do not imagine, if you
have never been in London, that you
will learn great deal about these
places by reading this book; you won't,
for the author, whatever else he is is
not compiler of guide books.
And yet he may very well be called
writer of a guide to the hearts Of his
people. In the short chapters devoted
to Fanny, Absalom Jay, Give Torpy.
Peter Westcott, The "Morgue," Mr..
Nix, Lucy Moon, Lois Drake, none is
so brief that you do not learn the
essentials of character-about his life
before and after Horizons, about his in
sides, his handspring.
The prospect of acquiring so deep
an insight into the souls of twelve
passing travellers may not seem allur-
ing. Ordinarily one listens to a strange
travelling companions account of him
self with half an ear, and turns that
half only because there is nothing else
to do to kill that unresisting victim
time; but when this author makes
himself responsible for such accounts
one has, indeed, another story With
the exception of two Spiritualistic
tales, thrown in, perhaps, to catch the
prevailing taste, these unpretentious
stories are fascinating. And they might
have been so dull, as we'll as true to
life!
With the background of Horizons,
Walpole shows his very diverse char
acters in the changing years that fol-
low the armistice, and upon all of them
are seen the lights and shadows of the
war. The war adds immensely to the
weight of the sketches, which in some
cases would be light as thistle down
without. The effect on Lois Drake, for
an instance, is shown with a strange
mixture of comedy and tragedy. In
this story the author reveals himself
as one unafraid to call spade a spade,
but he doesn't decorate his front porch
with a collection of these implements,
For he has taste as well as charm.
Taste is a very good asset of a fiction
writer and it can nowhere find bet
ter place to shine than in collection
of short stories: we more easily for
give or overlook it's absence on a big
canvas. Taste prevails in Lucy
Moon" a temporary sojourner at Hor-
tons. This charming and unusual story
would leaven twelve heavier narra-
tives than those marching through
this charming book.

THE MASTER OF MAN. The Story OF
Sin. BY Hall Caine. Philadelphia
J. B. Lippincott Company.
CINCE he wrote "The Deemster"
y and "rhe Manxman'' quarter
century ago, Hall Caine has
deepened and solidified the quality of
his following. More serious even than
Hardy-for Hardy had an honest
laugh or two in some of his earlier
novels-Hall Caine has been able to
overthrow and live down even the as
pensions of certain critics upon his
pervasive solemnity of outlook. Mr..
Gladstone early set the seal of his
approval upon Hall Caine; it seemed,
at the time, as if some spark Of the
same fire kindled in those two great
souls. For Hall Caine took himself al
ways-and his work, as part of him.
self-quite as seriously as Mr.. Glad
stone took himself, which is to say all
possible. After a visit to Hawarden.
where she saw Mr.. Gladstone's several
and separate writing tables for various
periodicals to which he was an ardent
contributor. an American woman jour-
nalist, on returning to Chicago, an
swered an inquirer thus: Take him
self seriously?- Why, my dear, he takes
himself as seriously as God Almighty"
T. p. O'Connor said of him: Hall
Caine reaches heights attained by only
the greatest masters of fiction" An
awed newspaper reviewer once de-
clared: Hall Caine stands apart among

or "The Woman Thou Gavest Me-"

the London Daily Chronicle said: 1T
strikes a great blow for righteousness,
and i'm that light it is Hall Gaines
greatest achievement" Which seems
halting praise; Hall Caine has never
done anything which did not strike a
great blow for righteousness.
After this long interval, then, comes
this novel of close to 175.000 words. an
exposition of the mans side of "a
story dealing with the eternal forces
of life" "The Woman Thou Gavest
Me" set forth the woman's side; and
here is. as one may say, the diverse
of that coin.
A young man OF fine nature, OF a
family Of high traditions, 'sins against
"a woman" under unusual circum-
stances and great temptation, and con-
ceals his sin, to the injury not only OF
the victim Of his sudden. blind passion
but against his higher love for great
hearted Fenella Stanley" The great
buttresses of idealism and romance In
their natures are almost swept away
in the storms Of hatred and falsehood
which engulf them. But finally tho
great hearted woman's faith prevails.
A, strong, stern story told with al
Hall Gaines mastery Of his particular
kind of art Il will be welcomed b,

"HE nine million readers of Harold

to the universal need OF the poet
Wright has not the gift OF song, but
the appeal of Helen of the Old House
is the appeal of the Psalmast. of

the form of their verse; for poetry
goes deeper than form. The power Of
through prose translations. II is the
intangible, invisible power of the spirit.
"H~,en of the Old House" is not a
great buok, since the authors re-
sources are limited. The works that
are for all time are the fruit of as
complex a harmony of powers. as
miraculous a meeting of elements as
those which make strawberry or a
mocking bird But Wright has the
poets eye. with it's heaven-to-carth
and earth heaven range. And many
a word fancier might envy him that
gift. He ss,es life as 1t eternally IL,
not as 1t seems to the overspecialiZed
view of scientist or real estate expert.
The two young men, rich John Ward
and poor Capt. Charlie Martin, with
their David and Jonathan friendship,
are enough to justify the book. They

the management of the mill has come

think it comes close to being a MASTER

Wright may not live as a novelist or
creator of character. But he serves
his own anxious day when he brings
truth like that home to millions.
Another thing. Wright is serving
even the cause of literature, since
many of his admirers never read any
book at all Before. And the simple
habit of reading is something gained.
Considered as fiction, such books as
this have kinship with the fairy tale
