There is also sub-plot, or a paral-
lei illustration, a variant on the main
theme, in the case of Thompson, the
easy going storekeeper. who has been
living openly with a mulatto woman.
and who falls a victim to the Ku
Klux crusade. one of the banners of
which is: I'VE Want No Mulatto
Babies" The thing is told with a
grim directness, with no mincing of
words-a stark horror. But here, as
indeed throughout the book. Mr.
Stands is entirely free from any
cheap sensationalism. He tells
straightforward story, without any
embroideries of diction; it is almost
too hard and undecorated. but it
makes startli1gly sharp outline.
Each scene stands out, lurid, but not
exaggerated.
In construction the story is ex-
cellent; orderly, well proportioned:
it's action always inevitably derived
and never forced or even hurried.
From the standpoint of technique it
is even a better work than Birth
right" its only noticeable drawback
being a little stiffness, especially at
first, in it's manner; a tendency to
let his people soliloquize a bit un-
naturally. These are minor rough
nesses that can easily be overcome
by practice.
The background Of this and the
other recent Southern novels is in
teresting in itself; an oddly primi-
tive society, not out of touch with
to-day but nevertheless actually liv-
ing. for the most part, in the late
'70s or SOS of the past century. For
one thing, religion as expressed in
the church life, the importance of
the minister and the part played by
the various denominations in the
affairs of the community is vastly
more important, more vitality a
reality. than in. any Northern or
Western community.
One would like to devote columns
to pointing out the incidentally fine
things in Mr.. Stands story, and it
would be easy to pick scores of quot
able passages of Importance even
out of their context, but it must
suffice to advise the discriminating
and thoughtful reader to read the
book itself. 1t is not meant prima-
rily to amuse, though merely as an
arresting narrative it will hold any
cne's attention. 1t : is a wholly
proper function of creative literature
to arouse and stimulate thought, and
it can be done without allowing the
product to degenerate to the level of
tract or a "medicated" novel. As
to that, Mr.. Stands has no very pre-
else doctrine to preach-unless it be
human kindness, justice and under
standing his main purpose is to
state the basic problem.
This he has done with. very great
effectiveness. 1t is not too much 10
suggest that Mr.. Stands has in him
the making of a novelist, and per-
haps a dramatist, of a very high
rank.

DAVID THE SON OF JESSE. BY
Marjorie Strachey. The Century
Company.
TT might be thought a difficult
task to retell the story of David
and OF Jonathan, Goliath,
Bathsheba, Absalom ct al.-in such
fashion as entirely to remove from
it any trace of nobility, of dignity, of
ethical significance and of poetry,
but Miss Strachey has successfully
done just that. 1t is not merely vul-
CARRIED and cheapened; it is entirely
transmogrified. Practically the only
thing retained from the original ver-
sion is its dash of what the Victorian
moralists call 'impropriety." and
this is treated throughout with a
truly Victorian simper, a turn
ing aside of the head with leering,
Peeping Tom attitude. 1t Is an as
tonishing performance.
So far as its intent can be made
out it appears to have been to pre-
sent David and his fellow charac-
ters with realism" or simplicity
to picture them not from the histor-
ical or NEUROLOGICAL standpoint bGt
as everyday, rather modern human
folk. There is painstaking avoid
ance of fine writing" or Of any eie-
waited thought. But the result is
very far from being realistic in any
sense. One gets rather the impress
sion of a very moderR Sunday school
society masquerading; boys and girls
dressed up in false boards and queer
clothes trying to talk like everyday
people while pretending also to be
primitive" with the superintendent
as David; a rather nasty minded
David. wearing a cloak over his
black frock coat and patent leather
shoes as he goes into battle or ar
ranges a clandestine appointment
with Bathsheba. The thing is ut
terly squeezed dry; not drop left
of the passion or dignity or signifi-
canoe of the original.
A good deal of it becomes a mat

BEAT OLD PEOPLE
GET $4,000 LOOT
Posses Searching for Two Bandits
Who Escaped After Robbing
Prairie du Chen People.
(By Associated Press Leased wire

(By Associated Press Leased Wire)
Prairie du Chen, Wis. = Posses of
farmers today were aiding deputies in
a search for two bandits who escaped
in an automobile yesterday after rob
bling farm home near Rolling Ground
in the Kingapoo river valley, beating
a 64-year-old woman with club and
taking boarded gold estimated at
from $4,000 to $4,000.
Miss Ellen Horigan, who put up a
desperate fight against the robbers,
suffered broken shoulder blade and
deep gashes in her forehead and the
back of her head when the thugs
struck her with an oaken club. She is
expected to recover.
Miss Horigan lives in the farm home
with her two bachelor brothers, Steve
and John. Apparently the robbers
laid in ambush during the night and
when the two brothers left the house
for the hay fields the strangers went
into the house. While on engaged the
woman in conversation on the back
porch, the other entered the front
door and ransacked the house.
When she turned to go into the
house she was struck on the head with
a heavy club, which she wrested from
the bandit and for ten minutes gave
him battle with her fists. Her assail-
ant knocked her senseless when he
split her forehead open. The thieves
escaped in an automobile which they
had hidden in the brush two miles
away.
The brothers found their sister bat
tered and bleeding when they came in
at noon for dinner. The Horigans are
silent as to the amount of booty the
robbers took, but admitted their gold
hoard was stolen, 1t is estimated by
those who are supposed to know that
the amount is large.
The Horigans are among the rich
est farmers in Crawford county. Any
check received for livestock or pro-
duce from the farm would be immedi-
ately cashed and the money hidden on
the farm in various places among the
buildings, according to neighbors who
had dealings with them.

Milwaukee Mystery
Remains UnsOlved

Milwaukee, Wis. Police are still
trying to solve the mystery surround
ing the death of Captain Edward Mar
tin, Buffalo, N. Y, master Of the steam
er F. D. Underwood, whose body was
found under the Sixth street viaduct in
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad yards yesterday.
A further examination by the cor
oner's physician revealed that in ad-
dition to bad bruise on the forehead
the captain sustained three fractured
ribs which may have resulted from
being hit by yard engine, the physi-
clan said, murder theory is. dispelled
because of the finding of money and
jewelry in the captains clothing and
also because of the fact that the cap
tain was not known to have any enc.
mics. Neither had there been any
trouble on the captains vessel

candy and ice cream you will spoil
your teeth. And that's the secret of
my success, 1 guess. I haven't eaten
too much of either, cause my teeth are
still with me. There are other ways to

Daughter of Mrs. A. Hill,
Former Kenoshan, Dies
at Sterling, I'LL.
GIRLS DIE TOGETHER

Tragedy which engulfed the home of
Mrs. Anna Hill, formerly Of Kenosha
and now of Sterling, Ill.,, resulted in a
double funeral there this morning when
Ella, the 17-year-old daughter of Mrs.
hill, was laid to rest in the cemetery
together with a girl companion with
whom she had been drowned in the
lake near Sterling on Saturday when
the two set out for an afternoon of
outdoor pleasure together. The family
is we'll known here, where they lived
some twenty years, and prior to their
departure for Sterling few years ago,
made their home at 568 Exchange
street.
Jacob Anderson, brother of Mrs. Hill,
and Mrs. Anderson Of GOT Dayton street
received the sorrowful summons to the
house of grief Monday morning and
left Immediately for Sterling. It is
believed that they are still there, for
it was impossible to reach them at
their home here today.
Girls Mysteriously Disappear.
Ella Hill and a friend of hers took
their bathing suits with them last Sat-
urday afternoon and informing their
families that they were going for a
swim in the lake nearby. No one had
thought anything of the occurrence,
and even when the girls did not put in
an appearance at supper time, it was
thought that they were merely prolong-
ing their afternoons fun. But as even
ing advanced and the girls did not re-
turn, an alarm was sounded. Search
ing parties were sent out in all direc-
tions looking for the two young ladies
and finally their clothes were found
near the water, but there was no fur
Their clue to their whereabouts. 1t was
feared that they had lost their lives.
Girls Found Together.
The search for the two merrymakers
was kept up all Sunday, but it was not
until Sunday night that the bodies
we're found. They had been drowned
together. Just how the final end had
but it was learned that the bodies were
found together and the girls had their
arms locked. 1t seemed that a sense
of their impending doom had caused
them to embrace and meet death to-
gether.
News of the tragedy was received
here by friends this morning and the
grief of the stricken mother was
shared by her sympathetic acquaintan-
ces here. Ella Hill was the only daugh-
ter of Mrs. Hill and beside her mother
