The chief weakness in enforce.

jury trials, leads to corruption and
permits delays-all of which de.

'I believe you want to know
whether the prohibition law can
be enforced in New York city"

''They were all brought to the

Buckner. "They flooded the Fed

"Juries were even bribed in the

When he first went into office,

WEEKLY BOOK REVIEW

at the feet Of Bellarion. The hound
would not harm him.
Not Miracle
Another hound was turned upon
him and this animal shifted the air
near Bellarion and refused to touch
him. Not a dog would harm Bel
larion.
The followers of the prince said it
was a miracle, but Bellarion knew it
was not miracle.
He knew that dog will not eat dog.
In the words of Bellarion: 'T reeked,
l stank of dog. The great hound
had ripped up when it was upon me
had left me in that condition, and
the other hounds scented nothing,
but dog in me. The explanation,
my Lord, lies between that and
miracle"
And so with one great and power
full stroke, Sabatini paints an in
cident in the career of Ballarion and
gives it so much melodramatic and
dramatic color that it becomes one
of the strangest and most powerful
episodes in this story of adventure
in old days in Italy, near and about
Milan.
Do not think that the story of
Bellarion is repulsive or common. 1t
Is a great and bully yarn of a
knight, who fought for a Princess.
a fine and beautiful lady. who
doubted her true knight until the
last chapter of a book of exactly 446
pages.
There is lot of old-fashioned war
and fighting in this interesting
story of the days when knights were
bold. And there Is a glorious love
story-tlat of Bellarion for the
Princess Valera, the beautiful.
A Few Thoughts
When Houghton Miffiin Company,
the publishers Of Sabatini's books,
sent me "Bellarion" for review, /
look ID at the cover and asked myself:
Can It equal 'Scaramouche,' and can
it even approach The Sea Hawk'?''
1t equals the first and goes be-
yond the last-named one. found a
new spirit Of Sabatini in the very
fabric of this new story. He never
becomes lost in living the reader a
careful and thrilling account of
every second Of Bellarion's adventure
into the world of romance and strife.
I said once before If anybody could
approach the charm Of Dickens and
the artistry Of Dumas, then it is
Sabatini.
"Bellarion" IS corking entertain
