that, given the aid OF Major Arnold
Trent and left free to follow her own
devices, she can find the stolen
jewels. Which being accomplished,
the trail of the Cobra and Trent
leads by roundabout ways to Thibe.,
all this serving as a pathway over
which the author can trail romance
and vivid descriptions of Indian city
and jungle life.
But it is when he reaches Thibet
that his power of colorful description
has full play. Landor gives the reader
of his narrative of his famous jour
ney into the Forbidden Land the i'm
preston that it was a drab and dirty
country. But to Mr.. Hervey it is
gorgeous in color and costume and
ceremonial, as much so as one of our
most elaborate pseudo historical
movies. True or not to actually, it
is romantic and fits in with the re-
covery of the jewels and the tragic
exposure of the Thibetan messiah,

Footprint which, however, may be
considered to be common property,
and the hero is trapped into swallow
ing drugged wine. OF course he is
shot at from ambush and has other
hairbreadth escapes. all very well
managed.
II does not matter greatly that
the heroine is little more than a lay
figure; she does well enough. The
lady who officiates as the required
corpse is the most humanity feminine
character in the book, and although
she was rather a bad lot, one feels a
bit sorry that she had TO be stabbed.
That, however, really adds a little
piquancy to the thing; one is more
interested in running down her slayer.
Mr.. Williams also has now and
then an unusual felicity in phrase;
as when the old General hears a
sudden, creaking noise while he is
prowling around the big house at
night in search of evidence and we
are told that ''it was only one of
those incomprehensible murmurs, So
liioquies in which old houses finger
the beads of memory" That is gen.
uinely picturesque. The style of the
book is, in general. above the aver
age of such stories.

at once to go up to London. He
leaves his Surrey garden forthwith,

attractive about 1t, contrasted with
a good deal that is absurdly bizarre,
and, on the whole, repellant. 1t is as
il a painter had mixed two or three
utterly incongruous styles on the
same canvas; beginning with an aca-
demic correctitude of drawing, in the
manner of the later Victorian artists,
though with an occasional anticipa-
tory dot of extravaganza, and then
switching his brush to an impression
istic and finally out and out cubist
perspective, ending, however, with a
sudden reversion to the banality of
the art of 1880. The total effect is
unhappy.
But Mr.. Cade does so well with his
character drawing and with his back
ground. UP to the point where he
strays into strange fields, that he is
entitled to serious consideration. The
first half of the book is concerned
with the ancestry, childhood and adj

upon the doorstep of Anthony and
Cynthia Trevarthon, an eccentric
