THE PHILIPPINES: PAST AND PRES
ENT' BY Dean c. Worcester. Published
by the Macmillan Company. IS.
~ EAN C. WORCESTER'S encyclo-
pedic work on our most inn
portant island possessions is now
available in this new one-volumc edi-
tion. The author, who served as Secre-
tary of the Interior of the Philippine
Islands from 1901 to 1913 and as a
member of the Philippine Commission
from 1900 to 1918, discusses admins
trative problems with the confidence
that is born Of long experience.
He is strongly opposed to granting
the islands independence; and much Of
his work is devoted to an attempt 10
prove that the Filipinos are unfit for
self-government In this connection he
cites various atrocities committed by
the Filipino insurrectionary troops I'M
their campaign against the Spaniards
and the Americans. He also asserts
that the introduction of large numbers
of Filipinos into the civil service has
worked badly from the standpoint of
efficiency.
The commercial possibilities OF the
Philippines are discussed; and the
author describes some of his own trips
through the wilder districts of the
islands. The book is illustrated with
a large number of pictures.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, is the locale of
y this detective story by Erie Levi
son, whose mystery yarns woven
around the interesting Doctor Lester
have entertained many readers. Lucian
Avery, an avaricious old fellow, whose
possessions do not include charity and
honor, is hated and feared by many.
His niece, Clara, is estranged from him
by her marriage with man of whom
Avery does not approve, and an intense
enmity has sprung up between her hus-
band and her uncle. When the old man
is murdered and his house burned over
his body suspicion points to a number
of sources. One of these targets Is
aimed at Avery's pretty stenographer,
who lives at his home with the house
keeper and servants and whom the doc
tor loves. The reader is kept guessing
until the last chapter and interest
never lags. Those who enjoy mystery

,lssch!ly covered in a mingling OF fact
md fiction By Francis olt-Wheeler in
.Ths Book Of Cowboys." Shane Ryder.
!, . boy Of fourteen, is captured by
Indians in Montana. He spends a few
menths IN the Blackfect camp and Is

relate at considerable length to The

Bls Hickock and Buffalo BIZ" Cody.
Then be wins the confidence of Kit

individual talks TO him moro than he
talked to anybody else in his whole
carer. Then the remarkable Shane
sarns cowpuncher and gives the author
5 chance to tell the history of the old

and remarkable feat of navigating this
difficult river from source to mouth.
and he obviously enjoyed an enormous
~ good time while he was doing it.
The whole book is permeated with the
spirit of CHEEKY outdoor adventure.
During his trip the author secured
the services Of several expert river
men, among whom the most picture sque
figure was one Ike Emerson, who
would shoot any kind of rapid in any
kind of boat. Rafting with Ike
through a part of the river appropri-
ately called He'll Gate proved an ex-
perience that left nothing to be desired
in the way of thrills.
The humor Of the trip was enhanced
by the presence of Mr.. Roos, an inde-
fatlgable motion picture operator, who
sometimes wanted the voyagers to re-
peat their most difficult and dangerous
feats of rapids shooting under more
favorable Photographic conditions. One
gains the impression taat Roos was so
devoted to his art that he could have
welcomed a general shipwreck if the
catastrophe could be adequately fitted
into scenario.
The trip, for the most part, was
through very thinly populated country.
The author notes few towns through
which he passed, and mentions q colony
of Doukhobors, Russian religious en-
thusiasts who were driven by persecu-
ton to seek refuge in Canada, where
they make excellent farmers. But the
chief attraction of the voyage was
the ever-changing and ever-glorious
scenery. There are many passages of
colorful descriptive writing, in which
the author conveys some measure of
his enthusiasm over the gorgeous
peaks and wonderful sunsets which
make the Columbia River one of the
finest scenic routes in the world.

fascination. He chooses instead to fall
IN love with young American girl
who is being held for ransom. And
Zoralda, who, perhaps out of sheer
contrariness, has fallen madly in love
with Jim, is not person to be trifed
with. She locks Jim's sweetheart I'D
IN cage with puma, and is medi-
tating some equally delightful fate for
him, when he whips out an old sacri-

the princess to release the girl and
himself and to give them a few mo-

In hiding from pursuit Jim aud his
companion stumble upon an untouched
hoard of Aztec gold and jewels, which

The author possesses a swinging,
rollicking style that fits in admirably
with the substance of his story. Jim
Kendric is an ideal hero for tale of
treasure trove-big, good natured, su-
premcly daring, always willing to take
a chance for adventures sake. The
barbaric splendors of the Aztec gar
dens, which Zoraida reveals to Jim,
are described with profusion of rich

When they arrivc--Kirby's trip to

one who makes the discovery. He finds

Island Romance
A Man Who Found His
Soul and Lost 1t

AARON WEST by John knittel Pnh-
nsns nsnsd BY the George II. Doran Com
THlS is story Of rough sea
captain who contracts an unhap-
py marriage in England and ex-
perlences sudden accession of spirt tu-
ality when he land on South Sea
island and discovers Somna, pious
and beautiful girl, the child of a mis-
sionary, who goes about ministering to
the ignorant and diseased natives.
Aaron West throws himself into this
work with fierce energy, although his
love for Somna is perhaps more potent
than any purely spiritual factors in ac-
complisning his conversion. Returning
to London after stay on the island, he
finds that his wife during his absence
has souandered almost all the money
with which he had planned to bring
civilization and Christianity to the ma
tive. He tries to bring the sinful pop
ulation OF London to repentance, but
fails in the attempt.
So, angry and disillusioned, he visits
the island again and persuades Somna
to become united with him. But his
period Of happiness is brief. He be-
comes i'll, and his sailors, fearing for
his life, carry him away from the ISL
and by force. When he comes back
there is no trace of Somna. And then,
deprived of the one thing in life which
he had really priced, he renounces the
service of God and resigns himself to
bitter old age, spent at sea on lone
ly bark. Robert Hichens, in a preface
to the novel. says of Aaron West:
"He is q passionate solitary, a vehe-

who in earlier times might perhaps
have been magnificent pirate. But
