TVHE THREE eternaIly popular
themes in fiction are love,
IA mystery and adventure. Other
fads may come and go, but
men have loved to hear of romance,
spiced with adventure and Swallowed
by mystery, ever since stories began
to be told. These three elements are
blended in varying quantities in the
five novels now under consideration.
Mr.. Gregory, who has acquired
merited fame as an author of enter
tanning Western tales, injects a con-
siderable amount of humor into Desert
Valley. An elderly professor of gsol-
ogy, discharged by a young college
president who believes in "pep and
punch," goes out West with his daugh-
ter to search for gold Upon arriving
at his destination the professor is
initiated into the secrets of stud poker
and also learns something of the wiIes
of woman.
In the mean time his daughter be-
slows her affections upon a typical
young Western hero, who rides we'll,
shoots straight, and shows h;mself
fully able to curb the inevitable "bad
man." who appears on the scene. In
the end the gold is discovered, the
villains are discounted and the
romance is consummated. Mr.. GREGORY
throughout lives up to the high stand
ard of his previous novels.
The setting for Mr.. Thompson's novel
Is supplied by the Philippines. Richard
Terry, leaving the home town where
ne had played the role of Good Samari-
tan to all his neighbors, secures 8 COM
mission in the Philippine constabularv
In his new post he helps the American
authorities in their work of cleaning
up and civilizing the islands.

1t was with more than critical
sense that Thomas H. Dickinson Sc

Meredith Nicholson on Robert Lvna

Meredith Nicholson on Robert Lynd
Meredith Nicholson is warm in his
praise of Robert Lynd, the English
critic Discussing Mr.. Lynd's Art and
Letters, a new volume of commentary
on the classics and the moderns, lust
published by Charles Scribner's Sons.
Mr.. Nicholson writes.
Il like his compact style of writing,
and he certainly lays the right word
neatly down in the right place. His
views of the good and great are lit
tie startling sometimes, but I'm dis
posed to accept him as pretty sound
critic. The status in the gallery, of
men like G, Meredith, let us say. does
change rs the years so by. We're
bound to shift them to new inches

graceful, matter-of-course air that is

habited by some wild tribes. Here his
life hangs upon favorable sign from
the gods, which, fortunately, is forth
coming. The story. aside from it's in
trinsic interest, gives a vivid picture
| of life in the Philippines and of the
work which is being done by Americans
there.
There are enough thrills in Mr.. Wick
hams detective story TO satisfy the
greediest seeker after sensations. A
series of murders, explosions and other
catastrophes takes place with such be-
wildering rapidity that it requires all
the ingenuity of master sleuth to
detect the mysterious criminal and his
motives. The motion picture film Is
finally pressed into service as an aid
to the cause Of justice, and there is an
extremely dramatic climax, in which
the first crime Of the series is repro
duced on the screen.
Both The Cross-C Cut and The House
of Night belong to what may be called
the Wild Western school of fiction. In
The Cross-Cut dispute over the own
ership Of mine is settled, in large
part, by an appeal to extra-legal argu-
ments. The author possesses an ex-
cellent sense Of humor, and the char
acters in The Western mining town are
sketched with rare spirit and vigor.
The heroine is endowed with plenty of
courage, quality of which she fre-
quently stands in need in the course
of story where battle, murder and
sudden death are always imminent pos
sibilities.
Pancho Villa, the famous Mexican
bandit, steps into the pages Of The
House of Night, bloodcurdling story

kidnapped and rekidnapped; and once
it seems certain that she will become

But she has potent protector, an
American gunman with an unerring
eye and formidable casualty list to

clutches Of the Mexican bandits, and
at the close of the book she is asking

1t is reported on good authority that
one of the first acts planned by Presi-
dent Harding in his desire to undo
some of the more fragrant wrongs OF
the Wilson administration is the
speedy liberation from prison of Eu-
gene " Debs.
Ii is rumored that the release of
Debs may take place within the pres
ent month. Some weeks will be re-
quired in the routine of the Depart
ment of Justice for Acknowledgement
Daugherty to study the record of the
case and make formal recommends
tion to the President.
Mr. Harding has repeatedly ex-
pressed the ambition to create an era
of good feeling among all groups and
classes in the country and it is known
that he regards the presence of the
socialist standard bearer in the fed
eral penitentiary at Atlanta two years
after his Incarceration there as one
of the chief obstacles to that achieve
ment.
Although President Wilson was un.
able TO find reason TO pardon Eugene

of the United States into the World
War, even as late as two years after
the war was ended. he did find rea'

A Generous Stranger.

A story appears in the Seattle Post
Intelligencer, accompanied by a half
tone illustration, pertaining to Mr.. and
Mrs. Chas. T. Jones of Orting, WASH,
former residents of Princeton, to the
following effect:
A stranger one day alighted from
stagecoah and entered the little store
kept by Mr.. and Mrs. Jones. In the
course of their conversation he asked
Mrs. Jones whether she had ever been
to the mountains, which could be plain
ly seen, snowcapped, from the store
window, and she said she had not.
Down in her heart, however, she
longed to 20 to those mountains, but
did not say so. The stranger departed
and a few days later Mr.. and Mrs.
Jones received letter from the man
ager Of the company which has hotels
in the mountain park enclosing passes
for the stage trip to the mountain and
the best room in the hostelry, besides a
check to cover incidental expenses. So
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones went to the noun
tain and had a grand and glorious
time.

noxious weeds standing or growing
upon any public road or highway
therein to be cut down between the
first day Of June and the 18th day of
