The local police found no one an- swering to the descriptions they were given. Sheriff Bates of Thompson, who made a similar search at Thomp- son station, had no better luck.

BOOK REVIEWS
(All books reviewed Tn this eoi- umn are to he found in the Putnam Public Eibrsry.)
"BlselEOxens
By Gertrude Atherton

The thought may occur ta the nv ernge reader of this extraordinarily interesting book that t is a pity Mrs. Wharton did not write the novel in steaa of Mrs. Athefton, for what Mrs. Wharton might have given To theme and situation in subtlety and psychoi- ogy Mrs. Atherton does not try to give at all This is just another of Mrs. Atherton's novels it possesses all of her virtues and all of her faults, except that in the light of the passing years many of these faults seem more glaringly evident than of old.
 Here Mrs. Atherton has seized upon that most modern of all ideas, the re- iuvenation of the body through tho reiuvenation of the glands. Mary Ogden in her day was a famous New York belle, far famed for her beauty and her wealth and her wit. In her early twenties she married one Count Zattiauy of an old Hungarian family, and New York knew her no more, yet rumors came back of her great posi- ton in the dual empire. of her partici- patton in various political intriguea. of her gorgeous clothes, jewels and beauty, and her brilliant salon. But the years passed and her friends heard less of her and her very mem ory was almost eclipsed m the years of the war.
 Suddenly there appears in New York in the year 1921 a mysterious beauty living in the old Ogden house and in appearance an exact duplicate of the Mary Ogden of thirty years ago. This mystery bears the name oi Countess Zattiany, yet claims to De only an unknown niece of the Mary Ogden of old Not too far along ir the plot, and after the secret of Mary Ogden's return to youth through the gland treatment has been disclosed, i, she is revealed to her grey-heired m inmates of old. young and beautiful woman.
 Thence the story is of the struggle of the herone's mature mind with the impulses of returned youth. There IS a love affair with very fictional and exceedingly unbearaDle young news. paper man. There are excellent scenes portraying the effect Of this rejuvena.ed hesoine's presence upon. first, her old friends, and second, upon resentful younger generation There are many characters dressed in weird and unreal forms which the author has not been able to inspire with any conviction of life. But there Is an absorbing story, a unique idea, and some elements of interest that place eBlack Oxen" little above the aver age best seller.

Belgian soldiers were killed today by
the explosion of time bomb in a
passenger car of a train carrying
Belgian soldiers on leave back 10
Belgium from the Ruhr
Investigation thus far tends to show
the bomb was placed in the car at
Duisburg, either in the lavatory or
in a suit case, which was mixed with
the soldiers baggage.
The nature OF the explosion seems
to indicate that the bomb was Of the
same kind as that which a well
dressed German now is known to
have brought to VIE sbaden before
the explosion there, this leading to
the belief that two outrages were
arranged by the same organization.
Today's affair is regarded as the
most serious which has yet occurred
in the Ruhr. and the Belgians are
expected to apply rigorous penalties,
likely beginning with the city of
Duisburg.
