Making a Man
The Passionate Drama of a
Human Soul
BKoKMN 10 THD PLOW. BY Charles
Caldwell Dobic. Published by Harper

BROKEN TO THD PI1ow. BY Charles
Galdwsii T,an Dobic. Published by Harper
x Vivid colors are piled thick on
" the canvas Of Charles Caldwell
Dobie's new novel. 1t is drama
Of ruthless strength, mercilessly ex-
plotting helpless weakness. 1t has
many episodes of cruelty, intrigue, lust,
cunning and black hatred. The scenes
in the state insane asylum and In the
haunt Of the anarchists are almost
painful in their brutal realism.
And yet, after carrying the hero to
the verge Of insanity and murder, the
novel leaves him a spiritual victor, re-
deemed alike from his weakness and
his evil passions by the unseen tnfiu-
ence of an unfortunate girl who be-
friended him and Of musician who had
shared his sutferings in the asylum.
At the beginning Of the story Fred
Starratt is an insurance clerk, who
finds it difficult to make both ends
meet on a meager salary. Stung by the
taunts Of Axel Hilmer, a rough, self
made man who has acquired wealth as
ship owner, he gives up his position
and strikes out in business for him
self. Hilmer, who has conceived an
attachment for Starratt's wife, finds it
easy to lure her husband into commit
ting an act of technical dishonesty. By
further trickery he had Starratt COM
mitted to the state insane asylum, from
which he escapes and wanders back to
the city, starving and desperate man.
There is a thrilling climax to the
novel. An anarchist attempts to use
Starratt as tool in bomb plot
against Hilmer. How he resists this
temptation and wins q moral victory
over the forces of evil by which ne is
surrounded is told by Mr.. Dobie with
the graphic vividness that characterizes
the entire novel and makes it a notable
addition to the seasons fiction.

IT HOSE jovial pirates of high
finance, j.. Rufus Wallingford
and Blackie Daw, reappear in this
novel busy at their old game of collect
ing some Of the unattached assets Of a
confiding country town. The younger
generation, represented by J. Rufus jr.
and Toad Jessup, plays an active and
even decisive part in the development
Of the story.
Wallingford jr., by sleight-of- hand
maneuver, succeeds in cheating his
sire out of $4,000 touring car.
Wallingford sr. is Mortified at this
ominous initiative capacity of his son,
which strengthens the theory he had
derived from reading Lombroso that
the boys lobeless ears portend career
of crime. So there is heart-to-heart
talk, and the upshot Of the matter is
that the younger Wallingford goes
forth with the car and his faithful
friend, Toad Jessup, to make his for
tune honestly-if he can.
The situation becomes badly compli-
Gated when the elder Wallingford and
Blackie Daw attempt to do business in
the very community where Wallingford
jr. is attempting to sink bona fide oil
we'll. For Messrs. Wallingford and
Daw, while they may keep within the
letter of the law, are, to say the least
rather unconventional in some of their
financial manipulations. And their
credit is not enhanced by the suspi-
cious antics of pair of unjailed
swindlers known as Onion Jones and
Fetrograd Pete, who act in co0pera-
tion with them.
Toward the end of the novel the sit
uation becomes rather tense, and j
Rufus WAlingford, threatened with
lynching by an angry mob, is almost
convinced that Ben Franklin was right
when he declared honesty to be
the best policy. However, in this
crisis he is saved by the dauntless
integrity of his son, who calms the
angry populace by displaying all his
fathers persuasive arts, with an add
ed infusion of honesty. The curtain
falls on thoroughly happy ending.

The Life Story of a DAragnan: History and the Nov
Eastern Pilgrims
Romance in Stories Of ORR
entail Travel

CllldI 4 ldYC1
-FOUR PILGRIMS. BY William Boulting.
Published by ID. p. Dutton g. Co. -.
~ OMETHING Of the flavor Of The
- Arabian Nights is to be found in
these stories OF Oriental advcn-
ture and travel. Mr.. Boulting summar-
ICES the narratives OF four pilgrims,
who, for religious reasons, or for love
Of new sights and strange countries,
Travelled widely in different parts Of
Asia and Witnessed many astounding
things.
HiuenTsing, the first of the tray
elers, was Chinese saint who under
took an extremely difficult journey
through the mountain passes of Central
Asia, in order to reach India and be-
come more familiar with the teachings
OF the great master, Buddha. He was
often in danger Of his life, but finally
attained his goal, studied for number
of years in India and returned to China
in safety. He enjoyed one of the high
est of Oriental religious ecstacies in
seeing the shadow of Buddha. His
memoirs give faithful picture of con-
ditions in India and neighboring coun-
tries in the seventh century.
The next pilgrim is Saewulf, an Eng
lishman, who visited the holy places
of Palestine shortly after the end of
the First Crusade. His record of his
experiences throws much light on the
characteristic features of the pilgrim
ages which played so important part
in the religious life of the Middle
Ages.
Mohammed Ibn Add Allah, better
known as 1bn Batuta, generally con-
sidered the greatest Of Mohammedan
travellers, traversed great areas Of Asia
and Africa during the fourteenth CEN
tury. Clever, audacious, ready in
speech and action, he slipped out of
many tight places and finally, so far as
we know, died peacefully in his. bed
after lifetime of wandering on land
and sea.
The most picturesque and colorful of
all the narratives is that Of Ludovico
Varthema, of Bologna, an Italian of
the Renaissance. Varthema posed as
Mohammedan in order to make the
pilgrimage to Mecca. He found it con-
venient to continue protesting this
faith throughout his further travels in
Persia, India and Malaysia, for the
rulers and peoples whom he visited
were all Mohammedans or Persians.
Some of his stories strongly suggest
the romances Of Bagdad. He arrived
in the dominions of a monarch who
was supposed to eat poison daily and
to be able to kill any enemy by the
simple process of splitting. And Var
thema's genuine adventures surpass the
widest fiction in excitement. The
story Of how he deserted his Moham-
medan friends and Joined the Portu-
guese, who were landing in India, is a
fascinating record of mingled trickery
and courage.
The stories of these four wanderers
among the barbarous splendors Of Asia
possess the authentic thrill of wander
lust gratifed on huge scale. They
can safely be recommended to any one
who likes to escape the drab monotony
Of everyday life by taking an imag-
mary trip to the lands of camels and
spices and silks and elephants.

! AARIS, Aug. 25.-The novel of to-
: morrow, predicts Jean Richie
pin, Of the French Academy,

.<A- PIN o1 tn6 rIeHCn Acaoemy,
will be the historical novel re-
born. The public, he states, is tired
of just words, it wants acts. But un-
like the historical novels Of the past,
those of the futura will not subordin-
ate truth to romantic fantasy Although
the works of "Eather Dumas" are still
honored, Richepin thinks that intel
ligent readers will no longer sanction
novels wherein truth is too obviously
sacrificed to authors imaginations.
Historians in the past, he says, were
often forced to serve some clan, party
or church in order to get their works
acknowledged, and, therefore, history
was rarely impartial. And since the
imagination Of authors also has warped
the rich truth Of history, Richepin
sees g new purpose for the novel-the
historical truth emotionally conceived
in order that the present may be un-
derstood, and some light on the future
may be found.
In the columns Of the Figaro"
Richepin writes:
ut has often been asked what new
or salient literature will result from
crisis as great as the one we have
been through. We already have a
"war literature" fresh with new quail
tiles in which original tentatives are
noted, and also spirit to improve
and build upon other things besides
the old forms and rules. But it is
probable-let us hope-that there will
not only be a rebirth in literature, but
that more than one new form Of art
will arise.
"In spite of the steady departu,
from the masterpieces of romanticism.
we shall always have a profound love
Tor noble postical impulses, for the
ideal, and for fanciful conceptions, ,>be-
cause this feeling is inherent in our
race. But outside these dreams our
intellectual notifications clash.
Tired of words, we clamor for acts.
We search more actively, and more Bit,
terly, realities and truths. Moreover,
success is guaranteed in the creation
Of new kind Of novel drawn from the
riches of the pasta national wealth
which has until recently been badly
exploited. Althouh the historical novels
of Father Dumas still have a good sale,
and although there are always chest
sellers that are constructed upon
fractions of our history, intelligent
people turn away from these novels
where historical truth is too evidently
been sacrificed to the fantasies of the
authors imaginations. Is it because of
disdain of the things of the past?
No, certainly not, for our history is a
marvellous mine Of riches and variety
fer novelists, and beside, interest in
history has constantly been affirmed
by the favor the public has given to
all good historical studies.
ITO cite only three modern examples
of such approval, it suffices to recall
the vogue of the sRecits des temps
Merovingiens' of August Thierry, the
works Of Lenotre, and the authority at
tained by number of Balzac's novels
which are true historical descriptions
of the customs of his time.
"But it can be protested that neither

About William Dean Howells's sMrs,

"Mrs. Farrell" the hitherto unpub-
lished novel by William Dean Howells
which the Harpers brought out Sep
tember /, contains an introduction by
the famous authors daughter, Miss
Mildred Howells, which throws r,any
interesting sidelights on life at the Pc
riod when the story was written. The
introduction is of especial interest
however, when it touches upon Mr..
Howells himself as she remembers him.
Miss Howells says: "His minute study
of Easton's emotions as a lover makes
one feel the sympathetic interest of

Alice Duer Miller's New Story

Alice Duer Miller has just delivered
to Dodd, Mead & Co. the manuscript
Of her new story, "Manslaughter." We
understand this is not a narrowing
tale, despite the title, but, ON the con-
trary, it is most remarkable portrait
of young girl of great beauty and
wealth, who comes in contact with the
law, with, for her, surprising results.
Primarily the story is romance. We
are told dramatic production already
has been arranged for, and that the
play will be seen on Broadway in the
