A Note on J. s. Fletcher

All things considered. he's probably
the best all-round writer OF detective
md mystery tales now living and act
lively writing.
Two or three OF his full-lcnGth mys-
terry tales arc published yearly.
He came to the front when. during
ronvnlescence from his serious illness
IN the white house. Woodrow Wilson
was reported to ne greatly enrrosaed In
yarn called The Middle Temple Muir
der" The president. Il was said, was
finding the story "unguessa 9th
crs. getting the book and beginning to
red Il. found the murderer ungucssaolc,
too.
Fletcher IS conpara'i lively young
EnglIshman. In spite OF his rapid pro-
duct!on his quality has as yet shown
no perCe7tihie falling off. But every
one OF them Is mighty satisfactory
while II lasts. Fletcher takes biz Of
trouble to paint In the background: he
tusscs little and introduces pictur-
esuuc people: he takes palms to make
the two or three principal persons or
his story rather real Also he manages
to have a love interest that is pleasant
without being In the way OF the plot
at all.
His mystery ls always genuine mys-
terry. never false alarm: there is
thickness about It most satisfying IN
day when one thin LITTLE mystery easily
guessed. Is often published as "mYs-
terry novel"
The Middle Temple Murder" Tho
Taleyrand Maxim" Rnd The Chester
marcks Instinct" arc Ahts best so far.
But "Scarhavan Keep" THE Borough
Treasurer" The Orange-fcI!"w nia-
mond." and his latest. "Th" RaSner-
Slade Amalgamation" are nearly az
good. And better than most.

Harvard Eight Looks Stronger

New LONDON, Conn.,, June 23.-Taunt.
ed to the point of desperation, another
Yale crew. counting on. doing the impos-
sible. went out to beat Harvard in their
annual classic on the Thames River to.
day.
Remembering last year, when a Yale
crew branded as 'gutless" by deposed
coach, went out and nearly killed itself
in victory over Harvard, merely on that
quality which its teacher said it lacked,
Yale faced task just as hard with fer
vent hope
The Yale-Harvard race is always a
classic. The mere fact that two varsity
eights are to fight each other over ter
riblc four-mile distance of hard going
is but incidental to the trimming and
color furnished by the gathering clans
of both sides.
New London was in carnival clothes.
The town was a mass of the blue Of Yale
and the crimson of Harvard. The
streets were choked with automobiles.
