THE BRIGHT MESSENGER. BY Al

T T IS very difficult. II not impos-
sible. to give any reader who
is not already familiar with
Efr. Blackwood's uncanny gift Of
dealing with things that are not
quite OF this commonplace world
anything like correct idea OF this
book. Those who have read his
earlier stories. especially Julius lie

ways. a sequel. viii know what to
expect. Others who know II. G.
Wells's Wonderful Visit" can get
a suggestion from that. as this is
something or the theme Of Wells's
story, but without the comedy or
pathos of that slighter affair. and
built altogether upon grandiose
scale. Where Wells remains per-
slstently human MIR. Blackwood flies
into another sphere. And this is a
spectacular thing; WelIs's artistry
is the subtlcr.
1t may be misleading. but is not
wholly inaccurate to label this as
a very dignihed fairy story for fully
grown up thinkers and dreamers. 1t
Is beautifully done. and whether you
take It very seriously or not, II must

1t IS worth repeating that it is car
ried through with dignity at every
point. even at the most abnormal.
It Is not mouthed or spoiled by the
piatitudes and cheapnesses that ruin
most attempts TO transcend ordinary
human experience in fiction or
poetry. The thing Is palatable.

And It IS probably wiser to believe
in them, at least enough for the
purposes OF this story.

This is a much better book than its
predecessor: free from the occasional
exaggerations that detracted little
from the total of the earlier story.
IL is in a way a continuation, as
we meet some old friends among the
minor characters of this. and the at
mosphere Is much the same. The

opening football game of the

dents "Give it to 'WhifI", and the

would call for an end run or 4
trick formation in which the pig

Woods for delivery and "Whiff"
would roll off 20 or 80 yards be-
fore he could be downed. He
had some good interference but he

three tacklers by shaking them off
as a wet dog shakes off water, and

Vermont's Fuel Administrator,

Vermont will receive a little more
