LARA MI HOLDS THE RANGA BY
Frank X. Spearmnn. Published by
Charles Scribner's Sons. New York. $175
w 7 is unfortunate that d book
which Is so original in many re-
k spects as Laramie Holds the
Range" by Frank H. Spearman
should parallel "The Virginian" in so
many other particulars. At the con-
clusion we have the same impending
revolver duel between hero and villain,
with the heroine attempting to dis
suade the central character and with
that individual doughtily pointing out
that his honor Is at stake. Only Mr..
Spearman's hero has to finish off two
straight-s villains instead of
one, which he does most satisfactorily
although one of them is left in the
hospital, with no late returns as to his
chances for recovery.
In spite of this parallel. and in spite
of the authors inclination to mix good
writing with positive banalities, such
as "last years birds nest" compari-
sons, and to put modern slang into a
work which obviously portrays oldtime
conditions in the West, this book about
Jim Laramie, who is sort Of buffer
between the big cattlemen and the
small but busy rustlers, Is we'll worth
while.
The history of Johnson County, Wy
oming, in which the last Of the cattle
wars was fought, early In the ZOOS,
seems to have been drawn on literally
for the background to Mr.. Spearman's
tale. Laramie's ranch is in the Fall
ing Wall country, which might be the
Hole in the Wall at the headwaters of
Powder River. The raid on Dutch
Henry's ranch by the big cattle In
terests and the burning of the ranch
house differ little from the story of
the actual burning of the K-C ranch
when the cattle interests brought their
Texas gunmen into Johnson County for
the avowed purposes of waging a war OF
determination on rustlers. And then
there is Crazy Woman Creek, which
instead of winding its alkali-whitened
way between camps of sheep herders
on the plains, is transferred by Mr.
Spearman to the mountains and plays
no small part in his story.
Into this clash of powder-burnine
forces Kate Doubleday finds herself
projected from Pittsburgh. Kate has
come to live with her father, Barb
Doubleday, one of the big cattle men
who had deserted his family years be-
fore, but who now coldly gives his
grown daughter house room. Jim
Laramie, young rancher, who is for
neither one side nor the other in the
range war, but who finds himself
drawn into it by his friendship for Abe
Hawk, rustler, falls in love with Kate
Laramie's chief enemies are Van
Horn, a cattleman, who also is in love
with Kate. and Stone, the foreman for
Kate's father. Both these foes are
skilled with rifle and revolver, but they
should have had sense enough to quit
after Jim Laramie's remarkable exhibit
tion Of skill at the barbecue. where
he shot five out Of six potatoes i'm

A Mysterious Box
A Chest with a Secret Fig
ures in Novel

Hueii Seaman. Published BY ~ The Cen Cen
tury Company. $1.75.
~ TORIES that hold the reader in a
thrall of delightful suspense arc
always welcome. Children love
them and that author is fortunate who
can satisfy their critical taste in
wholesome mystery tale that thrills
and puzzles and ends convincingly.
Mrs. Seaman has made place for her
self In their affections by supplying
this sort of reading. giving the
youngsters stories in which events
that charm and mystify chase one
another through exciting plots.
The complications in her latest book,
"The Dragons Secret" are numerous
enough to please those who have
taste for such narratives, while fur
nishing no element that could offend.
It's atmosphere is clean and 1nvigorat-
ing, savoring of the ocean, by whose
shores the scenes are laid. Three girls
and boy, spending the October days
at a deserted New Jersey beach, be-
como entangled In a strange combina-
tion Of circumstances that keeps the
reader a-tiptoe with wonder up to the
last chapter of the book
A shut-up bungalow forms the center
of interest in this maze Of happenings.
Leslie, living next door, observes a
light through crack in the shuttered
window, one stormy night, and Rags,
her dog, unearths bronze box, carved
like dragon, from beneath q fallen
tree trunk in front of the bungalow.
She tells Phyllis, her neighbor, about
it, and both girls attempt to unravel
the mystery. They find way to enter
the building, and their only clue is
green bead and broken penknfe.
Ted, Phyllis's brother, becomes the
confidant Of Eileen, who is connected
with the secret of the dragon box, and
his cooperation with this stranger adds
to the perplexities of the two girl
detectives. The contents Of the bronze
box are linked with matters of inter
national import, and how these young
people aid in unraveling and adjusting
a most intricate affair is told in Mrs.
Seaman's happiest fashion.

A Murder Mystery

WITHIN FOUR WALLS. BY Edith Baul-
sir. Published by the Century Company.

~ PROFESSIONALS are at discount
in this striking story of mys-
terious crime. 1t Is Sam Lane, to.
tally unfamiliar with the tricks of the
detectives trade, who discovers the
most Important clues which lead to the
final exposure Of Judge Torrance's mu--
derer while the professional detective,
arrogant in his pride of craft, stumbles
and blunders down one blind alley after
another. The murderer also is dis
tinctly unprofessional and the reyela-
ton Of the author of the crime will
come as shock to the most hardened
reader of detective fiction.

Changing Peoples of the East Genesis Reinterpreted

an unusually large number Of threads
of horror and suspense into che fabric
of her story. Behind a screen Of acci-
dental circumstances which bear no
relation to the solution Of the mystery
the plot moves on to its unexpected cli-
max. The spare dryness OF the detec-
tive tale that concerns itself solely
with ferreting out the details Of crime
is relieved in the present instance by
romance that exerts notable influence
on the course Of events. Provided with
a mysterious murder and checkercd
romance, "Within Four Walls" seems
to possess all the elements which are
most desired by devotees Of lurid I'm
aginative fiction.

ture. There 10 vivid description of
tho scenery In the Canary Islands and
on tho African coast, and the plot
never laRs for lack Of exciting epi-
sodes. Tho battle with the Moors on
the beach and the plotting OF the ship
into an anchorage blocked with
treacherous sands are two incidents In
which the author displays to the ut
most his power Of vivid narration.
Some Of the minor characters In the
book arc exceptionally well drawn.
This Is true Of MacAllister, the whim-

Moorish chiefs favor by repairing his

Spanish captain.

The Will to Work

WILL POWER AND WORK. By Jules
Payot, Phi. D. Published by Funk &
Wagnalls. $l.75.
THIRTY editions of Payot's "Edu-
cation of the Will" have been
published. In "Will Power and
Work" the same writer goes deeply
into the principles that govern sue
cess in life, won through systematic
attention to detail and an economic en-
ployment Of all the peculiar abilities
granted to the individual. Unlike
most works of the type, "Will Power
and Work" is written in an undeniably
facile prose, lighted by incidents de-
rived from the lives of great men.
This book deserves a wide and
study.

Scotch Family Life

DOMESTIC LIFE IN SCOTLAND. 14ss-
1888. BY John Warrack. Published by
E. p. Dutton & Co. SO.
MIR. WARRACK has done one Of
those patient, specialized pieces
OF research which are of inestimable
value to the historian who surveys an
epoch in its broader relations. He has
traced the development of furniture
and household customs through two
centuries of Scotch history, showing
how the little details of family life
were affected by the political convul-
slons of the period. The reader with
antiquarian instincts will find many in
teresting bits of information in the
pages Of Mr.. Warrack's book.

!" HE long proverbially ~unchang-
ing East" is changing at last,
caught in the mighty world
swirl provoked by the Hohcn-
zollsrn Giaour. For that Balkan war
Of scarcely ten years ago, which left
to the Turk in Europe only Constanti-
nople and its immediate environs, was
directly induced by German deviltries.
Scarcely less than was the final cata-
clysm In which the greater part of the
Ottoman Empire in Asia was torn away
and the Tribe of Othman was left
fighting to retain even the spot where
centuries ago it first rose to power.
For two generations the disposition Of
the "Sick Man Of Europe" has been
one OF the major problems Of European
diplomacy and one Of the most fecund
causes Of war, and to-day the war still
RACES and the problem is still unsolved.
A hearty welcome therefore awaits

work as that Of DR.. Williams. That
veteran editor and emeritus professor
OF journalism at Columbia University
was. we must remember, born in Tur-
key and spent his early life there. and
for more than half . century since has
been = particularly apt and keen OBJ
server Of the progress Of affairs In that
part Of the world. He knows the his
tory not only Of the Ottoman Turks.
but OF the whole Moslem world; not
merely from Ertoghrul, but from the
prophet himself; and he knows it with
vivid insight right down to this pres
ent day, when Turk and Greek are
locked in a death grip, before the walls
of Ertoghrups old capital
1t is gratifying to find him confirm
ing conviction of German guilt for the
Turkish horrors of the great war. and
German responsibility for the collapse
OF the Turkish military power in Asia.
The final responsibility for the whole
sale massacres rests with those at Ber-
lin-and not alone the massacres of
the great war, but also the Hamidian
horrors Of "Abdul the Damned" "Sul-
tan Abdul Hamid would never" de-
clares DR.. Williams unhesitatingly,

mony OF DR.. Williams because 1t Is one
Of the most important things in con-
nection with the settlements Of the
great war that German responsibility
for Its manifold deviltries shall be in
grained perpetually into the mind and
knowledge Of the world. The blood of
two million tortured, ravished and

FARM TO INTERSTATE FAIR

An excellent showing of livestock
from the experimental farm OF the
University of Idaho has been shipped
to Spokane for exhibition at the In
terstate fair, which opens next Mon
day. The stock will come in COM
petition with the best stock from all
of the northwestern states and from
Canada and the winners will be the
cream of this vast area.
From the university dairy herd %
head of choice pure bred animals
were shipped Thursday, the ship
ment consisting Of Is Holsteins and
I Jerseys. These animals will come
in competition with herds from the
Oregon and Washington agricultural
colleges, the Waikiki heard, near
Spokane and in fact, all the choice
dairy herds of the northwest. The
fair is each year becoming a strong
er factor in the development of the
livestock industry in the northwest
and the competition this year will
be keener than ever, according to r.
F. Morgan who is in charge of the
production work in the department
of dairying, and who will be on the
ground throughout the fair. The
herd is in charge of c.. e. Gabby,
herdsman.
Professor G. w. Hickman, head of
the department of animal husbandry
reports the shipment of As head Of
sheep to the fair yesterday. The
breeds represented are Shropshires,
Southdowns, Rambouiletts and fat
weathers. Among the Rambouiletts
are several individuals sired by Mon
arch, the Butterfield ram which sold
for $4,000 at the recent Salt Lake
sale. Professor Hickman states that
the fair is booked for a heavy sheep
show. In addition to the entries
from the northwest states, there will
be sheep shown from western Can
ada.
