Office and at night went the rounds of the
places of amusement. Then Tulloolagh came
to Dublin-leader of the latest revolutionary
movement. Tulloolagh a legend, an in
visible deity, the power behind the movement,
but unknown except by rumor to the govern
ment. The rebel generals, working under his
direction, staged parades and staff meetings,
while Tully remained hidden. There was no
cowardice in his hiding, only expediency. Garry
fun1ed with impatience for meeting with
T,llloolagh, mentally cursing the girl Sieve
OMoore, on whom he was depending to arrange
the meeting.
Then Garry Delea met Tulloolagh, slight

seemed as if the immolation he sought was to
be his. But there are many unexpected turns
in this tale where every event and character
has its symbolism The night in the prison
cell, when Garry discovers Tulloolagh's secret,
when both expect death in the morning when
their personalities are mysteriously changed,
seems the climactic end, but it is only the pre-
Mde to the solution. "The Coloured Dome" is

BRED IN THE BONE BY Eden phillpotts
New York: The Macmillan Co.
EOR over IS years Eden Phillpotts has been
writing novels Of Dartmoor, realistic in the
main, but with growing romanticism. Devo-
tees OF Remarque and Hemingway or of Sin
clair Lewis sometimes sneer at the stories of
Eden PhiIpotts as food for babes, but to others
ms simple plots, homely characters and truth
1ul atmosphere of rural England have a peren-
NAL charm. Some Of his early books have
considerable vigor of Characterization and de-
velop the theme of an underlying fate in hu-
man lives, much as Thomas Hardy did in his
novels. Children Of the Mist" "Sons of the
Morning" 'The Portreeve" and "The Mother"
probably show Eden Phillpotts at his best. At
times he has made excursions into the over
cultivated field of the mystery story, and has
In The Red Redmaynes' and "A Clue From
the Stars" written things above the average
In this type.
Bred in the Bone is both a mystery story
and study Of the Dartmoor character which
MP. Phillpotts loves to expound The charac-
ter motive is foreshadowed in the first SEN
tence: "The face of Peter Dryden presented a
clash OF qualities, so that any student of char
acter. observing obvious traits tending to ex-
clude each other, was concerned with the
question of what sap and kernel remained, the
process OF elimination ended" Avis Dryden
his wife, preserves through different series
OF events the conviction that the past which
contains crime may be ignored. but Is
haunted by the fear, for her child that a
persons fate is determined by what's bred in
the bone,' and hopes that the child's two
sanity grandmothers will over-balance the
heredity from three murderers who are at
least as close ancestors

GINA. BY David Garnett. New York:
Harcourt, Brace g. Co.
OAVID GARNETT has every hereditary rea-
- son for being a writer He is the son of
Edward Garnett, essayist and critic and Con-
stance Iarnett, translator OF DoStoevsky, Toll
stoi ana Iurgenev. His own first book, Lady
Into Fox" published in 1922 is a subtle piece
of symbolism and a good story at the same
time drawing its inspiration from the old beast
liable. "Pocahontas" is entirely different
adventure in fiction. 1t is an historical novel,
but not an ordinary one for it is written with
the imagination and artistry which make ex-
celent hction In his predatory note, written
from Williamsburg, Va. Mr.. Garnett deplores
the necessity of imprisoning his imagination in

the historical facts, which he has collected
from all the documents of primary Importance;
but his imagination has not suffered seriously
