It must be admitted that if it is to
be done at all the author OF this
story does it very well. The plot is
well managed. 1t has many soundly
dramatic situations, logically reached
and treated with skill The. thing is
not ridiculous or tawdry, as most
such attempts are. 1t does not fall into
Mysteries. And, especially, one must
grant that the appearances of Christ
Himself are dignified, even nobly con-
ceived, free from the grotesqueries
that commonly mar such expert
nents in fiction or drama. But the
resultant whole is none the less un-
pleasant. 1t leaves bad taste.
1t may also even be conceded that
the authors historical stage setting
and her conceptions of Roman, Greek
and Jew of that day are sound
enough, free from serious anachron-
isns, and even unusually good for
ths historical nnvel. Perhaps her
voumg Greek radical reformer has a
bit OF Bolshevist favor, but that
is not really impossible. Finally. her
character drawing is above the aver
age; the people are well differentiated
and they have life.
After granting so much, it may be
surprising to find that the entirety is
not satisfying, either artistically or
morally. The>explanation lies in the
fact that the underlying spirit of the
thing is oyersensual. Its leer is well
restrained, but ii is there. The book
never would have been written ex-
cept out of the impulse toward
erotocism that crops out SO strongly
in much ultra modern art. 1t is, after
all. sort of sanctified debauch.
The plot of the story follows the
adventures of Astarte, a beautiful
young slave girl. and David, her

but after her first dance at the ban

nant David. She next falls an easy

adultery" in pretty close accord with
the Biblical episode. After her escape
from stening she passes on to more
lurid experiences. Meanwhile David,
having lost her. has become convert
of the Christ. The final scenes of the
drama include the Crucifixion. and
succeeding select scenes, eliminating
in Dayid's martyrdom. 1t is a well
managed dramatic climax The book
is certainly out of the ordinary. in
many respects.

EUCH OF this novel is SO

irritated complaint as to

be. Mr.. Titus is forester and for

a very competent novelist if he could
get away from an awesome respect
for the ancient conventions. There
is some very fine character drawing
here-specially the old lumberman
so fine that one is surprised when
it suddenly slumps of into pure con-
ventionality. His live people rebel,
but the authors iron hand at the
back OF each neck forces each nose
