Gales own consideration of the
ghost, his attempts TO rationalize :,
and to keep the apparitions ne sees
in their proper perspective. The
gradual conquest of him by the
''Ha'nt" is superbly elaborated. detail
upon detail. TO the necessarily hor-
rifle final scene.
interviewer with the ghostly theme
an essential part of it, is the love
story of the middle aged Morwenna
and Gale. Very rarely anywhere in
fiction has such a difficult and in
herently dangerous theme been so
acutely developed. 1t becomes a
poignant drama, going deep into the
roots of human passion-always with
full dignity and always free from any
mawkishness; a rarely frank han
ding of elemental things that never
offends.
There is also a value above the
common in the local color of the tale
and in the subsidiary people. 1t is a
Cornish village done with the mi
nuteness of detail of a Dutch land
scape painter, but always in sound
perspective and in full color The old
witch" Rebecca; the sturdy, stodgy,
kindly young farmer, Denzil, who
marries the abandoned Jenifer (the
girl whom Pascoe has seduced and
from whom he is about to run away
when he is poisoned), and Antiks, the
complaisant serving woman-aIl
these merit particular study and ap-
proval. as of interest in themselves.
1t is not a book that will appeal
greatly to the immature or super
fetal reader. but it is likely to stick
in the memory of the more discern
ing who may happen upon it. If de-
cided originality that is
not merely bizarre or extravagant-
is entitled TO particular attention the
author of this story should be singled
out of the crowd of more or less pro-
ficient writer's of the day, for there is
no one else who is producing lust
this kind of story.

possible for the possesor of true
genius to produce, deliberately, and
for purely commercial reasons SEN
timentality TO suit the half million
audience? One rather suspects that
the maker of such popular successes
must believe in them and enjoy do
ing them to succeed. Has any one
ever suspected Harold Bell Wright
of being capable of "Trilby" for ex-
ample or, let us say, another Pen
Dennis?
Nevertheless Mr.. Benet gets
away with it" well enough, and
Flora is an engagingly feminine
creature. One ends by believing in
her. The other girl is a shadowy
figure, for the most part in the
background, but tensely real when
she does materialize. Tie other
women, the youthful Bessie and the
vinegary village gossips are mas
terpieces of character drawing.
One of the finest elements in the
book is the picture of the Penn
sylvania village, or small town, to
which Flora makes a theatrical re-
treat when her conscience drives
her away from pot boiling. Most
OF the play is staged there, and the
atmosphere of it all is perfect. So.
too, he is entirely happy in his
sketches of the magazine editorial
rooms, with its eccentric lions
gently roaring about the premises.
In all his stage scenery he is mani
testify working from the living
model with mastery sureness of
outline and accuracy of detail.
The movement ef the plot is ex-
ceedingly intricate, but entirely
orderly. 1t is a-process Of picking
up one thread after another and
weaving them all together into a
final pattern: process that de-
mands the readers attention. But
this book is not for the slipshod
superficial reader. Reduced to its
skeleton the plot is even a little
melodramatic, but it is all made
thoroughly alive. The book leaves
one with the certainty that if he
cares to go Mr.. Benet can produce
novels that will find a lasting place
in American literature. This one is
after something of a tour de force.
but the force is there-dynamic
enough and well in hand.

ways there is courage and the hint

burn but without which there would
be only the Dark House, terror, loss
and loneliness. 1t is a book into
the writing of which has gone much
experience of life and a stout ap-

wise because it has looked deep into

master who is protesting too much
about his supreme wickedness, who is
much too talkative. Stevenson car
ried that just as far as it is safe; q
go further is to court disaster. Ste
venson's characters are prone TO run
into self-exposition at slight excuse,
but they never pass the probable
bounds of yolubility, whereas the
"Unspeakable Gentleman" does. AL
most he makes monologue of the
book. One makes excuses for him
he drinks so merry many quarts of
Madeira (and RUM, but he never
shows the effects of that in any other
way than overtalkativeness. His
sword play and fist play do not suf-
fer, but his tongue runs on and on
and on.
One would like wholly 10 approve
this book, for much of il is so very
good. But under the circumstances
one is forced to point out that If Ste
venson himself had been doing it he
would surely have rewritten some
very rough places, would have re-
pressed the too insistent detail, would
have brought into prominence some
important matters left a little vague
and, what a story he might have
made of it. This rather comment is
justified because, if it were Steven
son himself reincarnated, no doubt
there are passages that he would
leave unchanged-and it is hard to
express higher praise than that. He
would have let stand the account of
the fight on the Sea Tern. in which
Capt. Shelton retakes his ship almost
single handed-yes, that is a superb
bit of romance.
1t is all a story of galloping Incl
dent, swift narrative, tremendously
alive. As such it is a welcome change
from the morbidities and posings Of
an overanalytical age. The plot
turns upon a conspiracy against Ma
poleon. There is a mysterious paper
dealing with the conspiracy, and
there are men-many of them-after
the document. The "Unspeakable
Gentleman" who is after all some
thing of a poseur and not really so
dreadfully wicked as he pretends TO
be, has the prize and will neither de-
stroy nor give it up. His son believes
in his villainy and tries to Illustrate
him-sometimes one feels a little stu
pidiy-and the useful heroine hangs
around understandingly, but rather
in the background, until everything
is nicely settled The minor charac-
ters are all well placed in the picture,
excellently done. 1t is immensely
readable; clean, bright, wholesome
and inspiriting.
Mr.. Marquand has gone to one of
the very best OF schools. and has
shown himself a superbly clever pu-
pill. Doubtless one may feel pretty
sure that when he next goes adven-
turing he will be able to walk more
firmly all by himself, little more out
of the masters footsteps.

THE HAUNTING. BY c. A. Dawson
Scott. Alfred a. Knopf.

A MArEuRs of the creepy in fic-
~ ton. the ghost story that
makes one apprehensive of
dark corners, and leaves one with the
conviction that whatever Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle and other Spiritualists
may or may net have proved" the
spook can be a tremendously real
thing in literature will find a BAN
quet to their taste i'm this extraordi-
nary story. And it is a great deal
more than a ghost story. 1t is a very
knowingly worked out psychological
study, not merely of the inexplicable
but also of every day mortals who
are not at all visionary. 1t is one of
series of four novels, dealing with
the "handicaps of life" in large way.
staged for the most part in Cornwall
and told in truly moving manner.
Some of the authors earlier stories.
''The Headland" and THE Rolling
Stone" have received considerable
critical approval. both here and in
England, but her work should be
more widely known. 1t is very far
above the average both in technique
and in the originality of her thought.
The way is methodically prepared
for the creation of the "Ha'nt." The
reader is practically notified early in
the story that Pascoe, the younger of
the two Corlyn brothers, is going to
be made into a ghost by Gale. his
miserly elder brother. The authors
management of the atmosphere of
apprehension, of the feeling of
coming horror, is uniquely impress
sive. The brothers disagree about
money, and you know that Gale is
going to be the murderer, but there
is nothing downright or clumsy
about the narrative And there is
shudder in it when the two brothers
are carrying on an apparently COM
monplace dialogue. merely about
Pascoeis intended voyage to the West
Indies and a possible return.
when you come back, Pascoe?"
II shall come back, you see if
don't"
Don't make too sure"
when a chap wants to come back
he comes
'You think you'll want to Gomez" :
Certain sure / shall"
An entirely innocent, unimportant
conversation. but the anticipatory
irony of it is shivery. Pascoe is suit
ably poisoned-he was a bad lot, and
one wastes no sympathy on him-and
he does come back" The method of
his coming is also unique. He ma
terializes very slowly. methodically
and in an increasingly hair-raising
manner: bat it isn't fair to betray
too much.
Another striking element in 1t is
