DESERT DUST. BY Edwin L abin.
TIMBER by Harold Titus Small, May.
nArd a CO.
A LII these novels are frankly
IA based upon the traditional
4 N theme Of rewarded virtue and
punished villsiny. OF the three
authors Mr.. Rhodes displays the most
originality in conception and execution.
The efforts Of two prospeetors 10 safe
guard a rich copper deposit which they
have discovered against the plots Of
prowling intruders are enlivened by a
constant flow Of shrewd, humorous
comment on the part Of old Peter John
son. the hero Of the story. Mr.. John
sons unfailing resoureefulness, which
extends TO everything from rapid fire
pistol shooting 10 knowing when 10 back
a hand at poker. must bo considered
one Of the features OF the story. There
are frame-ups and counter frame-up,
and the novel ends with a scene which
would show beautifully on the screen
Wild race 10 the coveted mine. But
Mr. Rhodes's breezy style lifts the book
out Of the standardized ruck Of Wild
Western stories.
Not so much can be said for Desert
Dust This is a conventional romance
Of the West at the time when the
tracks Of the first trsnseontincntal
railroad were being laid. Action and
excitement are supplied by gamblers.
Mormons and Indians. A priggish
young Easterner is thrown into unwill.
ing contact with the runaway wife Of
a gambler. and Is practically compelled
to make an offer Of marriage 20 her,
the Objectionable gambling husband
having been eliminated by a lynehing
party in the mean time. A duel between
the fastener and a young Mormon and
fight with a party OF raiding Indians
are the outstanding incidents Of the
story.
Forest conservation supplies the back
ground for Mr.. Titus's novel. There
is girl who Is struggling 20 save a
pine forest for the future and a young
man who Is fred with h.r idealism.
Ranged against them are sinister in
terests which are attempting 10 seize
tho woods for immediate profits.

charms Of master necro-
maneer will do we'll 70 assure himself
that he has made the whole art his
own before no attempts employment Of
his borrowed secrets. Otherwise
things may 80 sadly ayry IN mid
ineantation.
II seems that tho authors Of both
volumes under consideration have been
tr.Ac indlsereet. Sir Harry has
sought TO utilize the white magic Of
Dickens; Mrs. DawSon-Scott has bor-
rowed. for the purposes Of her novel, e
li:tle Of tire darker hued magic Of
ghost stories. Each author Is pos
tesscd OF genuine gifts. and both would
have beer better advised 70 exercise the
powers which ore properly their own.
As Il Is Sir Harry displays his own
weaknesses when ho leans heavily on
Dickens, ard Mrs. Dawson-Seott gives
ample proof that she Is not at her best
among ghosts.
ENTHUSIASM FOR Sir Harry's pre-
- ceeding novel led me 70 attack his
latest work with sntieipatory zest.
After reading The Man Who Did the
Right Thing" i wrote that Johnston
had all Of the Victorian virtues with
out the usually accompanying faults.
But in The VeneeringS" the faults are
predominant. The result IS an ever
whelming dullness, 4 magnificent Vic
torian dullness, a dullness from which
ono escapes by putting down the book
unfinished, and then eonfessing. There
may be notable excelencies in the un.
read pages Of "The veneerings"; but
shall never know them save by here
say.
In attempting TO carry on the lives
Of the characters in Dickens's Our
Mutual Friend" Sir Harry set himself
q task at which he has had some prac.
tice. II is the kind Of task which a
man might once perform superlatiyely
we'll and win dcScrved applause; but
the method should not be repeated
Repetition In this case would Of neces-
sity end in the destruction Of the
author as a creative artist. He is
bound 10 lean more and moro heavily
upon the creation Of his predecessor.
or-more speciheally-upon the mere
magic Of his characters names.
When, in his PREDATORY note. Sir
larry tells us that he proposes to con-
tinue the chronicle Of John Harmon
and Bella, sophronia and Alfred
Iammle and Gcorgy Podsnap. and when
ais first paragraph informs US that
The Voneerings "retreated before the
financial storm" in the summer Of 1854
and took refuge at Calais, he immedi-
atcly enlists the sympathetic interest
OF oil good Dickensians. without having
the trouble OF creating characters for
himself; but he wins our initial in
diligence By making a promise diaieult
Of fulhllment. That he fails 10 make
good is not surprising. But Sir Harry
Johnston Is a man Of talent who can
stand very comfortably and impress
sively on his own legs; he has proved
that once. He should not let US for
get the fact.
Is THE HAUNTING" Mrs. Dawson
Scott has given Us the story OF a
middle-aged love aaai. that is
masterpiece. But, apparently. she did
not think this achievement would
satisfy her readers. 50 she borrowed
little ghostly magic. II is too bad,
because the nc-e. apart from the ghost
story is highly original with the ghost
