tory measurements out of the thing. She
sees detail clearly and can draw it to good
results, but the romance. as a story, is not
good enough to carry the rest 1t is a tale
of the FortyNiners and of the great trek
across the continent. The best things in
the book are the descriptions of some of
these pioneers: the young Jew, fresh from
the old country" who had loaded his few
possessions on a wheelbarrow and conf
IDENTIFY expected to push it fifteen hundred
miles across the continent; the man whose
cart had a sail intended to help it along,
and similar oddities. The titular hero is
half breed; a monsrel of French, gypsy
and Indian: kind of partially civilized
yellow dog There is a French girl for him
to abduct and carry off to the Blackfeet
country, and so on.

A Child's Story of American Literature

We have seen the early Post Office refus-
ing to handle printed matter now here
was Congress refusing to recognize that
erty! This is another curious illustration
of the old idea that authors must work
for us for nothing. Webster sold his
Spelling Book to publishers in Boston, AL
bany. New York. and Philadelphia as was
the custom in those days with successful
books. The difficulties of transportation
were so great then that publishers were
trade. The old gentleman kept trotting
from one to another all the time he was
writing his dictionary and searching our
libraries and trying to persuade Congress-
men that if literary property wasn't the
same as any other property, at least
publishers investment should have as
much protection as any other business
mans investment.
American literature, both of these
mighty works considered. owes vast
deal to these keen birdlike eyes of his.
And if young America grew decidedly
cocky on a diet of his school readers it
was very far from the old gentlemans in
tention to give them the idea that they
could afford to rest on their oars For
the blackbird saw even farther than the
eagle i'm one respect. He saw not only
the troubles of the day as did Daniel, but
he saw what was likely to be Americas
chief trouble They consider the Revo-
luton completed when it is but just begun.
Having raised the pillars of the building,
they seem to forget that the whole super
structure is yet to be added"

Turkish ship Their subsequent adventures,
leading to her death and her very singular
burial make a strenuously interesting tale,
which fills the whole second section of the
book.
Finally the modern heirs of this pirate
chief go hunting, with success, for his
buried treasure, the nature of which is
evident enough to the reader. 1t is handled
with poetic Skill to glamorous conclusion,
and the third book of the story is freer
than the first from the authors occasional
elephantine playfulness and unnecessary
addiction to too cumbrous machinery. The
tale of seventeenth century adventure on
the high seas is good enough, however, to
make one readily forgive minor faults in
the rest of the story

vigor. No one without Webster's physi
cal grandeur could have spoken the way
he did, it is true: but no amount of physl-
cal grandeur could make us feel his force
to-day if it were not for the fire of thought
behind his laundering sentences. Ora
tions are like national songs-they do not
have to be literature to be successful.
But only that oratory is literature which
strs us by its thought after the voice of
the speaker and the passions of the hour
are stilled.
BY the side of this eagle statesman
Noah Webster was but blackbird. Yet
he dared to oppose him sometimes for all
that For you must not think that Noah
was a writer only. There was one ele-
ment in the patriotism of that day which
we have very unfortunately lost and
which we feel we must strive to bring
back again. Then every educated man
felt himself in honor bound to engage in
politics. Political affairs were not left,
as too often they are now, to people who
make their living in politics. He compiled
his dictionary with and by his pen, but
he got a copyright law passed with and
by his activity as a politician. SO you
see, he not only supplied future writer's
with the words they were going to use
but he made sure of the bread they were
going to eat. And. splendid to relate, his
dictionary was the first book published
under the new copyright law.
Up to that time any dishonest publisher
could rob not only the author but also the
original publisher of their just profits.

THE TREASURE OF GOLDEN CAP. BY
Bennett Copplestone. E. P. Dutton & Co.
A LTHouGH there is a certain clumsi-
~ ness in the Introductory section of
this composite story, which may
make it hard for the reader to get well
started in interest, 1t is on the whole an
unusually attractive book 1t is really two
stories, one of to-day and one of three
centuries ago. woven together nicely
enough to make a coherent whole, though
the romance of the early seventeenth CEN
tury remains entirely separable, being
rather artificially imbedded in the center
of the book. And this old romance is by
far the best of the story; III fact, it might
gain by being allowed to stand alone, for
it is, in itself, very fine bit-a little his
torical picturesque novelette, of piracy, pri-
watering and high romance. This part Of
the book moves smoothly, rapidly and
steadily to a tragic climax; it is peopled by
vividly imagined folk and is moving in its
emotion.
But it takes a long while to get back to
it. The tale opens in 1920 ain the mud of
Bridport Harbour, at o'clock of a sum-
mer morning." and came near to ending
there, for the first scene displays old Rich
ard Mutt, helplessly drunk and mired in the
mud while the tide is rising about him.
His cries for help finally bring the neces-
sary rescuer, one Dickie Grenville, out of
bed, and the ancient wastrel is duly pulled
out and put to bed Mutt is true Devon
shire man, and so is Dickie. And Dickie's
sister Betty is even more Devonshirish.
Mutt is the ultimate descendant of family
of at least nine generations of seafaring
men, and, of course, he owns an old sea
chest and a Mystery. He prattles of a
Treasure" and, after truly heroic death
Ca we'll told incident), he bequeaths his
chest ana its secret to Betty and Dickie.
So the treasure hunt is begun.
The contents of the chest include the
log and journal of an earlier Capt. Richard
Mutt who flourished from 1920 to 1884
and out of this record is compiled the his
tory of that strenuous life. Captain Rich
ard was a privateer and occasionally an
out and out pirate: also a politician. Such
a gallant sailor had to have an extraordi
nary love affair, so he fished a Bretonne
girl out of the Bay of Biscay, after she
had jumped overheard from a piratical

LADY AVIS TREWITHEN. BY Beatrice
Chase. Longmans, Green & Co.


VTY ITH slight alterations, and some
wv repairs, this would have made
good Gilbert and Sullivan libretto
but it is all very seriously meant as
the writer is entirely innocent of any hu-
morous intent. 1t is one of series of Dart
moor novels. which have had a considerable
vogue in England, and there is a certain
superficial charm about some of it, real
feeling for the moors and a spirit of senti-
mental romance, thinly poetical. But for
the rest it is rather an absurdity. The very
noble Lady Avis decides 10 go and live
among the common people" in order to get
close to the great heart of nature, and
learn to know humanity" in its normal
state and not from a pinnacle above
them" So she poses as a servant who has
inherited small fortune, and goes TO live
the life of the lowly. OF course she sue
ceeds miraculously and everybody is up
lifted and enlightened and there is we'd

THE MONEY GODS. BY Ellery H. Clark
Cornhill Publishing Company.
A LTHOUGH it's plot is a fantastic
quality about this yarn; it keeps
one interested in spite of it's impossibilities
Maybe it is pity that the mighty mag
mates of Wall Street are not in real life
quite like the malevolent demi-gods of the
story; if they were big business would be
far more entertaining than it is. One likes
to picture the familiar leaders of high
finance meeting in a subterranean cellar,
the entrances to which lead through a
movable picture frame in the magnate's
country house, and down hole in the
woods beside the golf links. 1t is pleasant
to picture, for instance, the late j. P. Nor
forest to conspire The theme of the yarn
is the good old system, the control of the
market by four super -manipuators who
run everything. A combination of enter
prising youngsters learns the awful secret
and tries to participate with disastrous re-
suits.
The numerous murders thus made nee
essary are nicely carried out, as might be
expected, for such powerful and intelligent
ogres would, of course, use original meth
DDS in their killing. There is especially a
fine touch, in bringing in an antique cross
bow as a lethal agency At the other ex-
treme is poison gas and though gas came
in" with the war for the uses of murderers
in fiction, it is used here with freshness of
method

YEZAD. BY George Babcoek. Cooperative
Publishing Company.
TN HIS is a noteworthy literary curios-
ity There is an anecdote of the
late Commodore Vanderbilt. which
records that upon being asked what he
thought of a certain man, who may be
called Smith, since that was not his name,
he exploded: What do l think of Smith?
Well, I've met good many (qualified)
fools in my time but 1 never met any one
who was so many kinds of a blankety-
blank fool as Smith, The past year has
brought forth some queer books but none
that is so many kinds of queer thing
as this. Its subtitle, aptly, is Romance
of the Unknown The first half of the
book is devoted to getting the hero, one

able scientific" experiments, covering
twenty-five years or so, by one Doctor
Klouse who was not satisfied with what
he supposed to be the Darwinian theory
of evolution, and who set out TO prove
that man is of divine origin. That he
quite failed to- understand the theory of
evolution at all is perhaps immaterial His
experiments are no less entertaining.
The second half of the book takes the
discarnate John on a long gallop through
Space and lands him on a planet near
Vega, where he receives instruction from
one Marcomet. perfected" exMartian,
ten feet tall and extremely verbose. After
a little cosmic philosophy, Br'er Marcomet
tells (for nearly 200 pages) a lively
romance of love and intrigue among the
Martians, many million years ago-the tale
of Christopher Spencer, Charlotte Dudley
and the villain, Felix Claudio, The reader
feels that the author has missed a trick
in naming Marcomet; he should have been
called Jones; John w Jones.
That suggests one of the queernesses
of the book. Mr. Babcock is capable of
really excellent passages of rather high
flying narrative but he invariably drops
from dignified level to the uttermost
depths of bathos. usually in the attempt
to lug in some comic relief The trans-
ton from good enough English to a parody
of ancient Bowery slang is unique effect
especially on the part of Martians of
millions of years ago.
The central thread of the book. so far
as it has any. is the idea of reincarnation.
A part Of this is a doctrine of a duality in
each person; good and bad section.
These are separable at death and the good
is duly scheduled to triumph in the
remote future. There is, of course moth
