ERE is another generous installment

English critics hail MIR. Lyons as the
unrivaled interpreter of the shrewd wit
and "acrid humor OF the London gutter"
Probably no two readers would pick from
the present forty-four sketches the same
two or three for special comment; yet no
one can quarrel with another's choice. for

deals with the grotesque tragedy Of
human gargoyle. Ambrose Button was
carter OF faggots, "a pale eomplexioned
little man, having a small. white knob in
place Of a nose. no eyebrows. eyes like
boot buttons, an open mouth. ragged teeth
and few irregular wisps OF mouse coll
ored beard" He had a goitre and was so
warped with rheumatism that winter and
summer you could hear Ambrose and his
wagon and his twisted bones come creak-

Here Mrs. Button stewed and stewed
her cabbage. and her old mother had

THE TREMENDOUS EVENT. BY Maurice
lie Blanc. The Macaulay Company.
HHE striking thing about this newest
offering by the creator of "Arsene
Lupin" is the extraordinary clever
ness of it. and the gusto with which he
swings it along. 1t is several kinds of a
book, rolled into one; a wild fantasia
after the manner of the late Jules Verne
plus a malicious burlesquing of the ad-
venture story in general, done with great
deftness. And at times NJ. LIE Blanc for
gets himself and is carried away by the.
sheer joy of his wild adventuring and be-
comes, apparently, and for the moment
quite serious in it, only to break out again
in wide. satiric grin. At one tense mo-
ment when the hero, Simon, is bound ana
of desperadoes, he reflects
"All these incidents occurred like the
scenes of an incoherent play, stage man
aged and performed by madmen. 1t had
no more sense than the fantastic visions of
a nightmare and Simon felt hardly more
alarmed at knowing that his life was
threatened than he would have felt joy a,
seeing himself saved. He was living in an
unreal world of shifting figures"
II is all unreal and fantastic enough, but
all quite fascinating. At another point
Simon shouts:
"The prairie, It's Fenimore Coopers
prairie, The Far West, It's all here:
the attack by Sioux. the improvised
blockhouse. the abduction, the fight. with
the chief of the pale faces coming out
victorious!"
It is. For there are real red Indians
among those present-real moving picture
actor red Indians, including the beautiful
halfbreed Dolores. And they are straight
right out OF the films. And they are
adorable.
Finally. all this and many other riotous
things happen upon newly made chunk
of land, hoisted up by colossal earth
quake which wiped out the English Chan
mel and Joined England and France once
more, as they were joined in the dark
backward and abysm of time when the
saber tooth tiger and similar fauna were
at large. Naturally this upheaval unsettled
the mind of both countries and there was
the deuce and all to pay before an ad-
justment was reached. But the French
hero Simon. managed that adjustment and
thus laid the foundation for a real United
States of Europe
The manner of it is largely that of Jules
Verne plus NJ LIE Blanc's own individual
ity and also plus a certain fantastic plausi-
bility. Indeed, the cataclysm imagined is
quite possible in its general lines. though
1t takes a semi-sasiric French romancer
to inject Cooperized Indians and motion
picture actors into II. The comic scientist

PICKING WINNERS WITH MAJOR
MILES. BY L. L. Yates. The Bobbs-
Merrill Company.
fiction endow any kind OF a scamp
with a certain magnetic good ma
ture and the sympathy of the reader
is won at once and forever. Here, for
example. IS Major Agamemnon Miles prac-
titioner of devices for extracting money
from his fellow creatures that, when con-
sidered from the point Of view OF austere
morality. correspond to the green goods
game" the sick engineer story" or the
Spanish prisoner" yarn. Yet once when
you have listened TO his flood of fervid
Kentucky oratory and watched him at
work concocting his favorite toddy, you
thrill to his Illicit triumphs and are down
cast when the tide of fortune turns tenn
porarily against him.
Miles is Bret Harte's Colonel Starbottle
in later age and in different environ
ment. He breeds and races horses and
he breeds and fights gamecoeks. Says Mr.
George Horace Lorimer in the foreword
to the book: "All good Kentuckians. and
some who were not so good, knew Major
Miles. He lived. moved and made his bets
between the passing of the gold millionaires
of forty-nine and the advent OF the steel
magnates OF nineteen-one. He is still with
US but aging rapidly, bewildered at the
times and the customs-the coming OF
Volstead and the passing OF the betting
ring"
But before bewilderment made him en-
tireiy inarticulate the Major expressed
himself emphatically on the subject of
prevalent inhibitions and prohibitions. The
day came when he himself Joined the cru
sade or reform because he saw that It
was expedient. Then in mock contrition
he said my idea was that whenevah
yo' met a professional refo'mah yo' met a
man who was lopsided. Accordin' to my
notion his definition of success was to
marry a meal ticket an sit down close to
the pot ticker an preach. To me he was
as fun OF cheap platitudes as an elephants
trunk is full Of tricks: but OF his own
initiative he nevah did enough to start a
wheelbarrow in motion. I classed him
with the kind of man who would tie baby
blue ribbon on garbage can an take credit
70 doin' away with the odor or its con-
tents. an his idea Of eternal fitness would
be to put stained glass windows in a pig
pen"
Through a score OF stimulating adven-
lures the reader accompanies Major Miles
and his black hoy servitor and accom-
plice. Jodey Beam, Grim disaster over

lated. but wriggling out Of his predlca-
