Secrets Of Four Families
Told in Thrilling Novel

FOUR CORNERS BY Clifford Raymond.
Published by George H. Doran Co. $3.50.
-s HERE is new mode in writing
mystery story. Where the
4 men of the established school
give their readers thrills by
opening their novels with murder, a
theft or some minor but interesting
crime, the men of the revolt, if so they
can be designated, lead up to their
chapters of horror or mild surprise
through pages Of ordered development.
They construct scaffolding for their
guillotine, set up the instrument and
then bring on the victim or the cul-
prit.
Clifford Raymond, in his Four Cor
ners, takes us to a country town or
small city, to four corners where two
streets cross, and then walks with US
into the interiors Of four homes on the
said corners. A banker, wealthy man
OF business, an habitual gossip-she is
sort Of diluted Cassandra-and a low
able old fellow who grinds lenses and
has telescope for observing the stars
are the quartet Of major characters
living in the homes. The plot in it's
travel swings from house to house,

THE BIG MUsKEG. BY Victor Rousseau.
Published by Stewart Kidd Company,
Cincinnati. 81.
"HIS book belongs to the rather
old-fashioned school Of fiction,
in which the heroes achieve in
credible feats Of valor in the face of
overwhelming obstacles, the villains
perform prodigies of malice and cum
ming, only to be thwarted in the end,
and the heroines remain incredibly
noble and beautiful throughout.
Nearly all the familiar melodramatic
situations crop up in the course Of the
story. The hero, an engineer, is
tempted from the path of true love and
duty by wealthy woman, who wants
him to give up his sweetheart and his
difficult task of building railroad
through wild country for her sake.
He is also harassed by the intrigues of
powerful financier who is thorough
going rascal and opportunely commits
suicide when his crimes are exposed
in the last chapter.
The heroine is equally hard beset.
Her love is almost spoiled by the
treachery of a false friend she is kid
naped by the ruthless villain, and es-
capes from his clutches only by break
ing her way out of burning house.

be safe from the peoples violence.
I saw an Australian supply officer
asked by about forty Turks to cap
ture them. He said he didn't want to
be troubled with them, and they must
either go outside the town to spot
he indicated or they could go to the
devil. But the spokesman for the
Turks wanted him to take them and
said they would be proud of the
honor of surrendering to a British
officer. No, Johnny, 1 don't want
that lot to-day the officer replied as
he moved to go away, but the Turks
went after him. He could not shake
them off until he espied a padre, and
then, assuring the party that the
clergyman was military policeman,
he was left free to tackle his supply
problems. 1 believe the padre got
the whole party safely out of the
city"
The Turks exit from Palestine and
Syria was wholly inglorious.
The best parts of Mr.. Massey's book
are those dealing with Damascus. He
Is conscientious military recorder
but Is often so intent on details that
ne fails to give his narrative balance
and background. He lacks the broader
touch. His book is valuable
because it is SO solid and accurate. He
has the necessary personal knowledge
to tell the story Of Allenby's victory.
Yet he has hardly demonstrated the
gift to visualize it simply or dramati-
cally enough to satisfy the needs Of the
inexpert reader. In this line Nevin-
sons The Dardanelles Campaign still
stands out as model military nara
tive by newspaper observer.

Oppenhein's New Novel
Deals With Love

THE PROFITEERs. BY E. Phillips Op-
penheim. Published by Little, Brown
& Co. 81.
TIME inventive Oppenheim has tried
/ his hand at a novel Of an order
new to him. Hitherto his themes
have dealt with matters of adventure
on the Continent and in England, but
in The Profteers he establishes an
American background by throwing a
fighting Yankee, Wingate, against a
group Of men who, having founded the
British and Imperial Granaries, pro-
ceed to force up the price of wheat by
cornering the market, causing wide
spread distress throughout Great Brit
ain.
Wingate has met Phipps, the head of
B. and I. G., in the United States, in
conditions that precipitated antago.
nism, and he despises the man and
loathes his motives. With Phipps is
associated Lord Dredlinton, disso-
lutte bounder, whose wife, Josephine,
loves Wingate. The novel is dual in
purpose, the overthrow of the B. and
I. G. being one of Wingate's desired
aims, and the winning of Josephine
from Dredlinton being the other. Win
gate succeeds in accomplishing both of
his desires through q display Of in
genuity in handling his opponents and
in a revelation Of physical courage at
the hour OF crisis. He corners the
three leaders of the wheat pool in q
lower room Of the Dredlinton home.
holds them at the point of a revolver
and compels them to phone to their
offices ordering a dumping of wheat
on the market.
This continually engrossing story ex-
hlbits Oppenheim's resourcefulness in
keeping the fire Of interest glowing, as
well as his remarkable facility in writ
ing an easy, fluent text. 1t has the ear
marks OF his shrewd analysis of people.

| chapters calculated to make the most
unimaginative reader itch all over.
The beasts also come in for proper
share of attention. There is, for in
stance, most thrilling encounter be-
tween John Baines, the missionary. his
wife, Lucy, and lion.
Johns camping places were encir-
eled each evening by hedge of thorns
and the porters kept up--or were sup
posed to keep up-hlazing fires. But
one night in the small hours the tired
sentries fell asleep. the fires in front
Of the tent died down, lion sprang
the hedge, crushed the sentry's skull
and tore at the tent door with his
claws-attracted by the smell of the
donkeys tethered behind. His hor-
rible snarls and growls and the out
cry Of the awakened men reused John
and Lucy. In their movements they
knocked over the camp washstand and
table and could not find the matches or
the lantern. John was uncertain where
to fire, even when he had found his
loaded rife. He dared not shoot into
the midst Of the growls,' lest the bullet
should kill the plunging donkeys or
strike one of his own men. They, in
their desperation--and,t to do them JUS
tice, in their desire to save the white
man and his wife-were tackling the
lion with firebrands, yet feared to
shoot his huge body-tangled up with
tent ropes and tent faps--lest they
should shoot master or mistress. Lucy
swooned across the bed with terror
when she felt the lions body pressed
against the thin canvas of the tent
wall. The tent, even, seemed
in danger Of collapsing under the lions
the men. At last, fear OF the fire dis
lodged him. He stood, or, rather,
crouched against pile of boxes for a
few minutes; then, realizing that the
way to the exit was clear, he bounded
toward 1t over the dead body of the
slain porter. But before he quilted
the premises he seized adroitly one of
Lucy's two milch goats, and breaking its
neck trailed it over his shoulders and
plunged down ravine. The men fol-
lowed with fusillade of shots from
their Snider rifles, but probably in the
darkness all went wild. The lion re-
mained In the ravine, alternately
crunching and growling-but such
growing English verb is feeble
to express the blood-curdling sound"
Throughout Sir Harry's narrative
prose has the same swift and sure
quality. Knowing the country and the
people of which he writes there is no
necessity for him to tumble with
words. Seemingly he is just as sure
of his characters. One or two run
little too close to type. The relig-
ious old lady, Mrs. Baines, is some
thing Of stock figure, but the rest
have animation of their own. All are
sharply drawn. The book is both lively
and humorous. 1t is salted, too, with
satire. The Man Who Did the Right
Thing seems to US one Of the best
novels Of the year.

The book would really be much ..--ora

H~o US the great charm of The
Man Who Did the Right Thing,
by Sir Harry Johnston, is that
the author has no scheme to
sell for this world. or the life there
after. To be sure, enc may CLEAN a
hint here and shere as to things which
are sensible and things which are not
in the colonizing of Africa, but these
hints never grow into didactic inter
ludes. Sir Harry Johnston is too much
interested in his characters to push
them aside and preach. They can and
do talk very we'll for themselves. To-
ward them he has an easy tolerance.
Some are fools and many are knaves,
but his interest is equally keen in the
lot Of them. Personally we found the
knaves not bit less attractive than
the others, for whatever they lacked
in virtue they made up in brains.
Not only in character drawing, but
in the creation of vivid and persua-
sive atmosphere does Sir Harry's novel
achieve distinction. All too often an
author paints his backgrounds through
nothing but sense Of duty. Often
they come as an afterthought. The
brushwork Is done painstakingly in the
open. In fact, the author, in such cases,
seems like the man with the mega
phone pointing out the sights, not be-
cause he gives a hang for them, but
merely for his daily pay. Sir Harry,
on the contrary. seems to love Africa,
even though he is particularly frank
about its noxious insects There are
