THE LOVE LEGEND. BY Woodward Boyd
Charles Scribner's Sons
ThE authoress of this e0nfesses that
she wrote stories in imitation of
The Wizard of o. when she was
but eight years old, but she does not say
whether the inspiration came from the
book or the more direct and perfect stim-
illus of Fred Stones marvellous. jointIess
legs. But one traces a reminiscent
something of it in this admirable novel.
Our house is all bent upl" said the little
girl in the play after the cyclone had hung
the house over fence, but she did not
seem TO mind. Some such cyclone has
swept through Miss Boyd's book. and
pretty nearly everything her trenchant
pen touches collapses like bubble or is

and though she-that is, the heroine-is
pretty badly mauled the last page leaves
her not minding it very much
The book is a literary debut that calls
for most hearty welcome 1t is a fine
performance. and for once the publishers
assertion that she is "among the handful
who can understand and reveal American
society as it is to-day" is not a mere
''blurb." A remarkable handful of young
sters it is, too, to whom we must now add
this young woman. The young genera
ton has taken to expounding itself elo-
quently. One thing is plain, here as in
other recent books of similar tone, and
that is that the young people are sternly
at war with much that the parents used
to stand for; and they make out a case.
Perhaps the wiser old folks should answer:
"All right, children; we hare made mess
of it. Go to it, the world is yours any
how. Let's see what you can make oA it
and God bless you."
The old fallacy which the winds of her
story blow away is that of the possibility

The THREE FIRES. BY Amelia Josephine
Burr. New York: Macmillan Company.
A VIVID, dramatic story of native
~ love and vengeance, In the exotic
setting of the wild green heart of
Ceylon." 1t concerns chiefly Motu Rayen,
the crippled Tamil foreman of the Hamil-
ton cacao plantation; Mia, child of his
best friend Vyapuri, 1owerlike Hindu
girl. maturing with the early preeocity of
the tropics; and Tuan Moor, of the ma
creature, with a body 1.-the and powerful
as black panther" Motu Rayen is bent
and misshapen 'as if a giant had crum-
pied his body in cruel play; yet a few
years back he too was a magnificent
creature, and his injuries came through
loyalty saving the life of his master the
Englishman Hamilton. And Vyapuri
knowing the bigness of his heart, asks no
better husband for Mia. But the girl,
unknown to her people, has met Tuan
Moor in the forest and given her heart
to him unaware that he is a Moslem
and that union with him would mean "the
desecration of all that she and those be-
fore her held sacred" So when she
learns the truth, like a dutiful Hindu
maiden she silences her heart, obeys her
father and accepts the crippled Motu
Rayen for husband.
Tuan Moor swears vengeance. He fore
warns Mia that within two years she
will suffer a Hindu wife's supreme trag-
edy. the loss of her thai or wedding neck
lace, thus becoming refuse of the world,
one whose life offering the gods have dis
dained." How Tuan Moor makes good his
threat and how in spite of it he misses
the joy of vengeance is the theme which
occupies the greater part of this story;
and it's telling reveals a minute under
standing of local tribal customs and of
the psychology of an alien people that
would be sufficient in itself to give the
volume distinction quite aside from the
novelty, dramatic tensity and high ideals
of the plot.

Finally she encounters the real hero and

all its characters are well conceived 1t is

one, is the value of sanity, using the word
