But he was a great patriot and with stern
and even strong religious sense of duty-and
the English people trusted him. The author
omits to credit Kitchener with his greatest
achievement-the raising of Englands enor-

The first canvas of the series represents
the Svantovit celebration. Svantovit was
famous cathedral in the city of Arkuna.
This celebration had taken place annually
from time out of mind until the end of the
thirteenth century. when the Germanic
Dancs sailed hither, took by assault Arkuna
and destroyed the cathedral.

Middle Age. In the picture he Is shown on
the ruins of an evilly reputed building, while
women, remorseful for their sins. bring him
their jewelled ornaments and beg for abso-

reused current of religious enthusiasm
which grew after fifty years into the Hussite
movement.
John Huss preaching in the Chapel OF
Bethlehem at Prague Is depicted In the
fourth monster canvas. At the right of the
picture may be seen Queen Sophia sur
rounded by her court ladies.
"The Meeting of Krizly" is the fifth pic
ture of the series. This represents a transit
ton from the religious period to the war
period. Koranda, the Pizen preacher, has
led the brethren from all parts of the coun-
try to a meeting, under arms in the broad
valley Of Krizky, near Benezov. From this
place these religious warriors marched TO-
ward Prague. The preacher Koranda is
shown standing on the roof of a hut. Around
him on every side the faithful are gathering.

OF the language is the first essential of sales
manship-a bromide, but as is the way with
bromides true. American statesmen ought
not be content with the mere outlines of the
language-they ought to learn It inside and

its nuances. An American drummer sells
his wares as much by his Zine of talk" as
by the quality of his line of goods. And In
Argentina Brazil, Chile, anywhere In South
America--countries where talk is the chief
pastime-the ability TO joke and play with

Of the country. 1t would be II only some of
cur spectacled old professors and pundits
would brush their glasses and read current
fiction now and again to find just such amaZ-
ing pieces Of writing. But they won't; one
can be sure of that.
Into the lives of Cora and Alexina comes
a fine young Englishman, and he is projected
upon the canvas in one of those whirlwind
scenes Mrs. Atherton delights in His young
sister is dead In his arms when he appears
through the wreck and debris of the San
Francisco earthquake and he is forced to
bury her amid the ruins of the stricken city.
One might think this too melodramat.c; true
to life, perhaps, but not true to fiction. But
it Is Mrs. Atherton's supreme gift that she
can make, through her art, just such a sit
uation real to the reader; as later she makes
all powerful and by no means lacking in
verismilitude the final scene between the
two women. And the great moment at the
embassy-an astonishing description-when
the lights go out suddenly and hundreds of
people are left in pitch darkness in the pres
ence of the King-what a motion picture
this. VIII make Or in fact how magnif-
Gently effective it would be on the sage.
Indeed. the entire novel bristles with
drama, cries out for actors to bring these
brilliant and purposely stupid people to life.
The only character who does not live~-at
least to this reviewer-is that Of Kirkpatrick,
the Socialist. He is drawn into the novel too
suddenly there has been not the slightest
preparation for him. And his first appear
ance does not ring true. Afterward when
he becomes merely a shadowy figure in the
background. he takes on more body, curl
ously enough and he remains consistent to
the end. His cry that he is 'common-com-
mon-common" is pathetic in it's truthful
ness; and his refusal to believe that war
is imminent when 1t is already at the doors
Of the world Is mastery stroke.
On the whole Mrs. Atherton has never
done a finer novel. 1t moves with her famed
gusto She always writes like cyclone:
and one would never for a moment have her
lose that vivid. pyrotechnical, flaming style.
which gives everything she touches an added
lustre. envelops it with a flame that often
mounts to genius
1t is interesting to note that this is the
first novel which the Stokes company has
issued in both cloth and paper binding; and
we shall all watch with much curiosity to
see II the novel sells, at so cents less than
the regular price, the thousands of copies
that 1t should sell in paper. The contention
is made that If the French prefer their fiction
in paper form Americans should follow their
example. We shall see.
