/" HERE is a good deal of excellent
work in this, marred by some over
emphasis and some ineptitude in
the movement of the plot. But the ship
herself, who is the real heroine of the
book, is admirably done. You feel her al
ways there and you feel her in her proper
surroundings You are on her deck as
she rolls through the story and the human
her. She is alive. as am old time clipper
should be, and she is important enough
to redeem the slips of the rest of the tales
1t is too largely an affair of torture and
loquacous villainy is rather overdone in
a multiplicity of long orations. But it
remains a. stirring yarn.
The narrator is spectator of the wild
when the vicious captain carried along
his wife, whom he does not love, and her
lover, the latter in disguise. Most of the
crew were shanghaied and there was no
lack of trouble, ending in the proper ex-
purgation of undesirables. When it once
gets under way the story moves rapidly
but the prologue is much too long and
some of it irrelevant. When the decks
are really cleared for action there is no
lack of dramatic happening.

THE AMAZING INHERITANCE. BY Fran
ces r. Sterrett. ID. Appleton Co.
VERY many, if not all, roads of
" modern romance lead to the South
Seas (even since the cruise of the
Kawa-Kawa). and there are diverse ways
of starting OF, but the heroine of this, Miss
of having a seafaring uncle leave her as
her Inheritance the throne of the Sunshine
Islands. 1t was a sudden upliff. since she
had been a very humble worker in the
basement Of a department store. selling
uninteresting pots and pans, when the
messenger arrived to announce her royal
succession as Queen. 1t would be more
or an appreciable part of them, came tc
Queen Tessie and made no end of trouble
in the very American city of Walco, but
to explain how that was would be to tell
too much. But it may be noted that the
wonderful pearl THE Tear of God" was
given to Queen Tessie by the fuzzy haired
Ka-kee-ta, who came as the royal body
ak, which he knew how to use. OF course
there were attempts TO steal The pearl and
lots and lots of trouble. And the conclu-
sion is unexpected.
1t makes a very entertaining, cheerfully
sustained story, with no little sparkle and
many surprising situations chiefly of the
high comedy order. 1t holds two neat love
stories, kept light in tone and cleverly
worked out Ana there is Boy Scout. 1t

THE MOUNTAIN SCHOOL TEACHER. By
Melville Davisson Post. d. Appleton 4 Co.
N hR POST makes a daring experi-
Vl ment in this allegory. or allegor-
lied tale, which is repetition, in
modern terms, of much of the life of
Christ. His mountain school teacher is a
mysterious person who appears in a remote
corner of the Kentucky mountains and
takes over the school for the little chill
dren. No one knows anything about him,
but the children accept and love him. So
do some of the women and a few of the
men. He repeats many of the Biblical
incidents. heals the sick and even raises
the dead, saves sinful woman and is
finally martyred.
II is all reverently done, with perfect
simplicity and an entire freedom from the
absurdities and highfalutin ecstatics that
usually mar any such attempt to parallel
the Gospel narrative. It makes its point,
which is that if Christ were to come again
to-day doubtless He would be treated ex
actly as before. And Mr.. Post has made
of it a really beautiful thing, if the reader
will accept it in the right spirit.

1OAN CONQUEST has gone and done
II it again. This is more desert love"
with lions and horses and moonlight
and a noble half Arab, half English hero,
a wandering English girl, camels. bull
dog, parrot, freak duchess who is so
years old and still going strong, an assort-
ment of very wicked and very devoted
natives male and female: colossal black
slave, falcons, pair of trained man eating
dogs which chew up a naughty lady most
horrifically, and. of course, lots and lots OF
desert-real, superheated sandy desert
These ingredients are tastefully mixed up,
very rapidly to the desired Kaleidoscope
result. 1t should be noted that it is all
quite proper, though the girl does visit
the semi-Arab magnate in his desert tent
at night; he is perfect gentleman. and
all is well in the end, though the hero is
nobly sacrificed as the only way out of the
mess.
The manner of it is blndingly vivid
"Scent and perfume, aroma and odor;
cedars of Lebanon and harem musk; tang
of the sandy sea, fume of the street; the
trail of smoke and onions; the breath of
kline. Make a bundle of that, and tie it
with the silken lashes of women's eyes;
secure it with the steel of needle pointed
knife-and leave it at that One would
like to see that done: no such complex of
smells ought to be eft untied.> But in
spite of its extravaganza it is really an
attractive yarn, with good touches of de-

flying, but with a genuine fascination

M'LoRD OF THE WHITE ROAD. BY
Cedric Fraser. D. Appleton & Co.


Cedric Fraser. d. Appleton & Co.
HLAMOROUS, romantic, swashbuck-
u ling adventure can Withstand good
deal of strain, but it really ought
to be told in English of some. period in
stead of in curious dialect that never ex-
listed outside Of modern fiction This tale
is vaguely dated somewhere in the era of
Gadzooks! but the gadzookery Of il is
trying to the nerves. IT'S plain my uncle
didst instigate the crime" the heroine re-
marks, and the grammatical eccentricity
cannot be charged to the proofreader, be-
cause it is only a sample. The objection
is not mere petty "carping criticism" be-
cause the manner mars an otherwise very
well made, entertaining tale. Moreover,
that kind of mishandling of the long suf-
fering English language is becoming more
and more common of late, and habitual dis
tortion of the language is not minor mat
ter especially when one remembers the
character of the large reading public. Pub
fishers and editors as well as authors owe
duty TO the rising generation, at least to
the extent of moderately correct English.
The plot is rather conventional, but
nicely turned: the wicked lord, the noble
rightful heir i'm disguise, the lovely ward
of the scheming malefactor, the devoted
servant, much fine sword play, a suffi-
cheney Of murders and a good general
cleanup. 1t marches along rapidly. with
a good swing.

She looked at him with white face,

and without word they went back
along the cleared road in the twilight.
He left her at her door.
He went to his shack and sat at his
desk for a whole hour, his head rest
ing heavily in his hands. All that he
had given his life to seemed broken,
his ideals outraged; his love for Molly
was the lodestone of his life, but even
love is not all q man has to live for.
After a long time he was aware of
a low tapping at his door. He rose
and opened it. Kitty stood there in the
gathering darkness. She came a few
steps into the Office, and stopped.
"Will," she said in a low voice, Il

"If show you"

have the position as long as you WANT

Lee Chambers grinned. That's good
enough for me-" he said. ''I'll hold it
right along. There won't be any other
road would have much use for me after
Tom BOwyer finds out what I've done
to him."
Wilton gave Chambers a bed In his
shack. The next morning they started
out to sound the muskeg. A little
more than a mile north of the portage,
where the river dwindled to a mere
trickle between two lakes in summer
was an uninviting bed Of peat, covered
with rotten slush; it was one Of the
few spots where Wilton had not
sounded.
You'll get bottom here" said Cham
bers. He swept his arm upward. "You
see, I've figured it out like this: Those
ridges are limestone. But the founda
tion's granite. You've noticed that, OF
course. The granite was there first
The limestone was forced up later

granite hasn't shifted. Here's where
the granite bed extends across th'

Wilton got bottom after two or thre'
attempts. As Chambers had said
here was the foundation for the perma

and one that would require consider
able ballasting, but undeniably the Onl
route possible.

the while they sat together at the ia

shared. He pictured her happily mar
