cric1 y. stokes Company. sl.75
T~HE contrast between the old and
the new, between the mellow.
dgnitied, somewhat inefficient
English country gentleman Of the past
and the vigorous, practical, assertive
selfmade man of the present, is built
into the fabric of this novel By the
terms of an eccentric but shrewd old
gcntleman's will John Wreay. q Sc
rious-minded young man who has
spent much Of his life in the Cana
dian Wilderness, is appointed guardian
to a young English hciress whose prop
erty has run down for lack of able
management.
John soon proves his mettle Find
ing that the only chance for the re-
habilitation Of his wards estate lies
in developing neglected copper vein,
he returns to Canada in order to gain
practical experience by working in the
mines there. This Canadian episode is
one Ol lue pest III tnS DOOk. MI B1nQ-
loss is here on familiar ground, and
he tells thrilling story Of Johns ad-
ventures in the copper mine. Some
anarchistc agitators are here intro
duced, and their efforts to injurc the
working Of the mine add further spice
to the novel
Equipped with the needed knowledge
and experience, John returns to Eng
land, where he soon becomes involved
in more subtle kind of struggle. En-
vious suitors and business rivals at
tempt to keep him from developing the
mine and winning his wards hand, but
he attains both objectives neverthe-
less
The novel is written in Mr.. Bind
losss best style. 1t fairly bristles
with action and intrigue. The shift
ing of scene from ENGLAND to Canada |
and back again lends a pleasing ele-
ment Of variety to t .c plot.

r IS not every day that ono comes
across a book Of this type. This
vas not hurriedly slung together
with n rraycti plot turned dixie cuns)
TO look fresh, nor is the author cater
ing to any particular taste as he
writes. T. is an honest, wholesome
story, whose strength comes Of its
great simplicity. It's setting is rural
England an old town that is barely
more than settlement Of a few
shepherds and plowmen, the sort of
place we have learned to know through
Iardys novels The people, too, are q
strange type to us-~pla'n, kindly,
bound to ther land, with simple code
Of morals and background of old
traditions.
The central figure in the book is old
Bob, tcamstcr, who has taken his
three orphaned grandchildren into his
home and is bringing them W to the
best Of his ability. He is the sort
Of man who is always produced by
close contact with the soiI--strong
and stern, with his face resolutcly set
against change or advance. His
granddaughter, Liddy. becomes just the
sort Of woman that he wanted her to
be, but the boys have leanings that he
cannot control. Then there is the
girl with strain Of mad, hot gypsy
blood in her, who proves so upsetting
Il neighbor. These people are all
drawn with clear, vivid strokes, and
there is consistencc in their actions
that makes you feel their reality. In
all the characters the reader has an
impression of realism combined with
sympathetic understanding, which is
about the most satisfactory feeling
that an author can create.
The style is good, careful writing,
with an occasional phrase that is sur
poetic. 1t is slow moving
and bit weighty at times. but q
little patience is we'll rewarded, be-
cause it is worth two of the ordinary
easily skinned novels. 1t will be ap-
precated by people who like good

PREACHER MOST UNIQUE A. F. OF L.
 DELEGATE

Cincinnati, June 3o-The Rev William Reese, of New Orleans, is perhaps the most unique char acter that attended the American Federation of Labor convention in this city: He wears an eccleslas tical garb,
 "1e who breaches also must practice," is his creed. Several years ago he gave up his regular pastorate in the Congregational church and since then has been travelling the road of the Samari- tan unto Jericho.
 The unions and the church," says Mr. Reese, 'are moving in the same direction. When 1 left the church and interested myself in the service of unions 1 merely changed pastorates. Through the union 1 continue to do the work of the Lord The function of the union is that of making real the brotherhood of man under the fatherhood of God"
 When Mr. Reese quit the church preaching he took job in an iron foundry so that he might learn from association and experience the struggle of American wage workers.
 "I wanted to study the worker in the mill instead of from an ele- vated position in the pulpit I made myself one of them, became affili- ated with their union, and 1 am still one of them"
 Rev. Reese is financial secretary and treasurer of the Building Trades Council of New Orleans and was delegate from that body to the Buildnig Trades Depart ment of the American Federation of Labor

Weavers Strike
 In Moosup Mills

Moosup, Conn.,, June 3o.-Weavers in the Union Cotton mills here, own ed by Aldrich Brothers of Providence. K. l., went on strike this week and 1t was stated that about GOO persons were idle. The explanation given by employees was that they objected to the 10 loom system. Some other de partments of the mill were not in volved in the strike, although those who went out said that they expected all employees would come out and that other questions aside from that raised by the weavers would be taken up.
 Some time ago when the manage ment of the textile mills in Eastern Connecticut put into effect an in creased working schedule and a re- adjustment of wages no opposition was offered as the employees were not members of unions. It was claimed that dissatisfaction has ex- iSted, however,
