"I guess I'd just as soon have what
got as thirty days. said Ross Pow
ell, convicted Of killing his young wife
and sentenced to serve a life sentence
as sheriff Roark snapped the hand
cuffs on his wrists in preparation for
the trip to Pickens, where he will
serve his sentence on the Pickens
public works.
Powell arrived in Greenville Friday
night and since that time has been in
the county Jail. It was first thought
he would serve his sentence in, the
state penitentiary, but with the decis-
ion Of Supervision Mckinney that
there is need Of men on the Pickens
public works, these plans were chang
ed. The sentence of the court requir-
ed life imprisonment in the state pen
itentiary or on the Pickens county
public works, which left the power in
the supervisors hands.
The prisoner seemed determined to
maintain bold front while arrange
ments were being made for his motor
trip to Pickens. Smilingly he bid
Jailer Christopher adieu as he was
placed in the waiting car.

CAPTAIN POTTS MINISTER BY Francis
l.. Cooper. Boston: Lothrop Lee * Shep-
ard Company.
f" HE noble young minister with a mys-
terry as to his ancestry. and the out
wardly respectable but inwardly very
wicked elder who owns a lovely daughter
for the minister to love- but who is also
criminally mixed up with the ancestral
mystery aforesaid. make a good foundation
for a pleasantly old fashioned sentimental
romance. And there is Captain Pott, and
Miss PiplSin. who. of course, are "charac-
ters." The Captain functions as an in
trusiye providence at critical moments and
eventually turns on the light which dis
peis the fog of mystery to foil the naughty
elder and smooth out the bumpy path of
true love.
The old crime is laid in that former
haunt of the Economically criminal, Aus
tralia, but most of the story belongs in
the salty atmosphere of small seaside
town. An up to date touch is provided
in the Illicit distribution of what is now
generally called rum in newspaper head
lines. The story is conventional enough in

WHEN THE WEST WAS YOUNG. By
Frederick R. Bechdoit The Century Com
pany.
A LTHOUGH most OF the chapters in
~ this peculiarly interesting book
fall naturally into short story
form they are not fiction. They are true
stories, episodes out OF the actual life Of
the young West when it was really wild
and woolly. Mr. Bechdolt has CLEANED much
of his material from the narratives and
recollections of old timers. of Forty
miners" and early prospectorsy gamblers,
cowboys, sheriffs and marshals and has
also drawn upon the authentic records Of
the era, including such sources as files OF
Arizona papers. The result is a fascinat-
ingiy alive, book. with thrills enough
to equip dozen ordinary romances, and
the added quality of truthfulness He does
not idealize his two gun men" or the
politicians of the day. but tries to present
with Tombstone and its founding, another
with 'Tombstone's Wild Oats" in the days
when the genuine bad men" took pos
session of the town. There is also an ac-
count of the Overland MALI and the
opening up of travel and communication
with the effete Eastern world. Mr.. Bech-
doit's narrative style is excellent, fluent,
forceful enough and full of color. 1t makes
good reading

ONE WORLD AT A TIME. BY Margaret
Fuller. The Century Company.
GNNE World at Time" is a tale of
the South Atlantic coast some
years after the civil war 1t is
told by a youngster-a Yankee girl-who
goes to make her home with her uncle.
Norbert Lapierre, and his wife on their
Southern plantation.
The love story is very well told The
characters are sharply drawn and the
scene is set for each incident The book
is not one for those who would skim
through summer romance tale. 1t is, in
stead, book for those who have the time
and inclination to dawdle through a charm
ing story, the author of which has al
lowed herself to dwell at length upon de-
tails There are. no doubt, memories in
the story. The author must have known
the things of which she writes-she must
have watched the sea washing the cot
ton islands, the palmettos and the pines
waving in the salty breezes. She must
have enjoyed the mingled odor of the sea
and the jasmine that she has put into her
book.

MILLIONS. BY Ernest Poole. The Mac
milan Company.
IT was observed very many years ago
that the love of money is the root
OF much evil, but this novel demon
strates that the sudden expectation of
getting hold Of a great deal of it-millions
may produce very good results; espe-
cially IL the expectation turns out to be
no more than dream. The theme of the
tale is we'll summed up in the final vision
of Madge Cable, the heroine, wherein she
pictured great invisible spirit rushing
over the earth Whispering
Here's a million dollars, In a few hours
it may be yours! Tell me what you'll
do with it,"
That is precisely what the fates said
to Madge, and also to her uncle. Doctor
Cable and his wife and Ray, their son.
Madge had a half brother, Gordon. who
had neglected her and his more remote
relatives for some years, while engaged
i'm the war and afterward in accumulate
ing millions out of shipping opportuni-
ties: but when he is knocked on the head
in an auto accident and is hardly expected
10 live Madge is sent for. Some years
before he had written her that if he
died in the war he would leave his prop
erty to her. So she naturally is con-
cerned in his health. There can hardly
be said to be much affection between
che hn-
of his life. OF course she doesn't want
him to die. but?
And then the uncle and his family drop
in, also eagerly interested in Madges
possible great inheritance. While Cor
don is still unconscious new personality
turns up-the actress. Leonora. who has
been very intimate with him. Madge
and her uncle do not quite know what
to make of her, as they are small town
people of little experience. And there is
also Gordons partner, another stranger
to Madge.
1t is thus complex situation and gives
ample. opportunity for Mr.. Poole to show
the various reactions of these diverse folk
to the prospect of sudden wealth. Each
one dreams of what It might mean, and
what could be done with even a minor part
of the millions. Mr.. Poole has successfully
resisted the temptation to make a grim
satire of II, for even the least of these
relatives is not really hopelessly avari-
cious. They are a good average sort;
kindly enough, mildly philosophical, and
essentially good natured. But it Is some
thing of a strain. The relatives at first
try to keep the extraneous lady, Leonora.

derstand that Gordon and Leonora are

Buckrose for pleasant entertain
ment, and this novel is choice
example Of the writer's skill. It Is made
OF a nice blend of temperaments and hu-
mors' OF everyday people, quiet, not too
good and not too bad. not to much trouble
and not too much excitement, but always
interesting. There is a touch of Gran
ford" about the village and it's people, but
they are modern enough, for all their local
flavor and eccentricity
The clown of the piece, Sim the gardener,
carries the whole thing. He works not only
for Sir Francis, who has come to Wyn-
thorpe to rest, and for Cathy. but also
for himself. He is a reluctant cupid some
OF the time, but eventually manages all
things for the best. in a good comedy
situation. And Sim is delight in himself.
For one thing he is an inveterate liar. or.
rather, born romancer, and especially fond
OF strange yarns dealing with natural
history" always with a satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION in instinct" There rs plenty of
plot and quite enough event to keep up an
even flow OF narrative, but the chief values
lie IN the character sketches which are
truthful and delicately worked out. A
Charming tale.

"From the bottom of my heart

"When l began taking Tanlac which
was four years ago J had been in bed
for three months with rheumatism so
bad that even the weight of the bed
clothes hurt me and | couldn't turn
over without help. Before that | had
been wasting away for months from
stomach trouble Even treatment in
hospital failed to help me and | had
fallen off to a mere shadow, weigh
ing only seventy five pounds. Nobody
thought there was chance for me
to last much longer.
"My condition was truly desperate
when | began taking Tanlac but to
everYbody's Amusement | was able to
get up out of bed and walk about the
house within ten days. Four bottles
of the medicine built me up to 40
pounds and from that day to this |

recovery is still the talk of the neigh
borhood. Tanlac is the grandest medi-
cine in the world
