: part Of the secret. But he certainly
rould not consent to his sons alliance
with Henry's daughter If he knew who
Henry was. 1t is a nice situation, with
a novel twist to it.
The most worth while figure, how
ever. is Henry; patiently toiling for
years to build up what he thinks a
spectacular position, to delight his
wife and daughter. only to shock them
with the truth when he is about to
realize his ambition, or when he might
have done so had not the miserable
Sir Terence intervened. Henry Is a
lovable, humorously pathetic character,
wholly real and enough in himself to
make the book of unusual interest.

as the first number of such a trilogy,

assurance is justified to the extent
that she knows tho period and its
people, with the knowledge of a spe-

some of Gogor, and has written novels

of its aspects. She has also dignity

colossal affair as this demands some

who is, unfortunately, an animal of

West story the reviewer is
tempted to throw up his hands
in despair. Everything that can pos
sibly be said of this type OF novel has
been said ad nauseam, and generally
the books are as like as two peas.
About all one can do is to label them
as good, bad or Indifferent. or-rarely
very good, and let 1t go at that.
This one falls into the distinctly good
class Mr.. Jarvis Hall has done It
before, and knows how to do II well.
His Mexican and border scenery is ex-
cellent, as he writes from first hand
knowledge and has a good trick of
description. His people are real
enough for the purpose: the intruding
heroine, this time from effete Chi
cago, who goes to the wilderness to
get into picturesque trouble and to
be rescued by the valiantly masculine
hero. In this case there are also
some very good bandits. chiefly Mex
lean, and they run around nicely. The
plot is skillfully constructed and will
hold the attention Of the addict to this
form OF entertaining fiction.

she is recognizably the same as the
little creature who lived in a crab

of the boot creaking.
The rest of the story is moro con-
ventional and sometimes comes near
to flying too high. 1t involves a young
man who is expelled from West Point
and who takes up the role of spy
in the German forces during the war.
This, however, is stage managed with
discretion and makes a good tale Of
adventure. 1t is all rather high in
key, and one feels a little as when
listening to singer reaching for her
top note, a little apprehensive. but it
holds. The right conclusion is reached
as gracefully as the ending OF min

highly self-centered, surrounds the
central movement of this complex.

matrimony, with his wife's consequent
sufferings during their unnatural re-

leaving him in disgust when she real

his opera, "Clair de Lune." A study
in temperament, with large T. She
goes back to her brother, and the
artist retires to a hermitage upon
mountain top.
But even so high up in the air he
cannot escape, for he is pursued by
Sophie, another lady, n lady Of many
lovers, but on the whole pretty good
scrt, as ladies of that type have now
usually become-in fiction. But even
to Sophie the hero is cold, though her
presence there with him leads to a
grave misunderstanding by his wife's
brother and by the man who hopes to
marry the wife if she only could and
would divorce the cold blooded artist.
1t all ends in the final enlightenment
and ultimate warming up of the re-
calcitrant artist and romantic res
toraticn OF conjugal rights.
1t is excellently written, smooth in
style and with much clever under
landing of the artistic temperament
which is real enough, however un-
Ineligible to the matter of fact folk
and an abundant charity for eccen-
tricities. AS a result of the modern
fashion the book is delicate, deodor-

items such as caused our eighteenth
