journeying with the faithful white

1t is one of the ironies Of con-
temporary history that India.
which won its freedom through
nonviolence, should have estab-
lished twin republics amid scenes
of fearful massacre and bloody
riots. The background Of that
tragic cleavage and its slowly
healing wounds Is given In this
eminently fair-minded and warm
hearted account by Margaret
Bourke- White, famed Life pho
tographer, whose prose and pic
lures have equal clarity and force.
August Is. 1947. India's Fourth
of July, saw the end Of British rule
in India, but only the beginning
of the end Of the vivid contrasts
that have always marked that
complex and hapless country. The
incredible splendor of the maha-
rajahs and the unrelieved suffer-
ing Of the poor still persist in
many quarters. although changes
are gradually being wrought.
Ever Present Specter of Famine.
In spite of earnest efforts at
land reform by the central gov
ernment. two-thirds of midas
peasants are either totally or
nearly landless. Moreover, they
are menaced always by the specter
of famine, and ground beneath
the upper and neither millstones
of the tax collector and the money
lender.
The labor picture in India is not
heartening. Gandhi's "childlike
belief" in trusteeships. whereby in
dustrial magnates, like his friend
Birla, are morally responsible for
the welfare Of their workers. has
precluded a militant labor move
ment. Instead there is only vast
network Of company unions un-
der government sponsorship.

The cat Is q panther. To Joe
Sam, the old Indian retainer. the
panther Is black and big as a
horse, transparent and inyulner-
able, a shape the Evil One has
conjured up to spread terror and
desolation each season with the
first SHOWS.
To the three brothers who run
the lonely Nevada ranch on the
slope of the Sierra it is real
enough and mortal If you can
get a clear shot at ia menace
that slips out Of the mountains
at night and preys on the cattle
hugging the canyon bed against
the blizzard.
Around the big cat, both a
symbol and an actuality. Mr..
Clark has woven a novel few who
read 1t are likely to forget. The
story is as sinister as the panther
and as symmetrically beautiful
The old Indians legend turns
into reality for the ranch family.
It is no phantom painter" the
brothers start after through a
merciless blizzard, but a sleek,
padded killer which has caused the
cattle to howl in the night and
left some of them slashed dead
beside the frozen creek. Yet, as
the hunt goes on in that cruel
weather, and the effects on the
people of the ranch, direct and
indirect, darken hour after hour,
1t seems now like the SUPER
natural creature of Joe Sans
lore that drove the Indians away
from their hunting grounds and
took them one by one.
Mr.. Clark has evoked in men,
orable detail desolate mountain
range in a snowstorm and one of
the brothers pitted against these
elements and against the cat he
trails with foolharcy fanaticism.
The man has a carbine and a
knife, but no horse and no shelter,
not even a sleeping bag. His sin
gle-handed fight against all the
furies of winter is epical. And yet
the novel is far more than de-
scription and atmosphere.
Each person at the ranch comes
into focus sharply. Equally clear
against the grim background Of
the hunt are the hunter. Curt, the
middle son, a born bully; Arthur,
the eldest son, a gentler sort,
touched with artistry and poetry:
Harold, the youth. resenting the
hardness Of their life, and the
daughter Grace. devoted to-
Arthur. There are the mother,
an aging drudge, pious and en-
bittered, and the father, drowning
in alcohol his dreams of lost gold
camps and cities, and Harold's
fiancee, Gwen. visiting from her
home on another ranch, bewilder-
ed and resentful as tragedy
shadows the place. And, of course.
Joe Sam, the withered Indian, liv-
ing in his own vanished world.
The time Is 1900, but the drama
is timeless. The author has made
the story more effective, however,
by placing 1t In q period when
there were no radios and planes
and the automobile was unknown
in such wild spot. "The Track Of

Miss Compton Burnett. A neutral
reader who overlooked "Bullivant
and the Lambs" and is reading
her for the first time could wonder
what the shouting Is all about.
That this writer Is IAN origi-
NAL" as one Of her rhapsodists
says, can hardly be doubted. She
also is at times undeniably bril-
liant. Her novels, as is well known
by now. are almost entirely dia-
logue. The talk sometimes is epi-
grammatic. These are random ci-
tations from the present book:
Most Of us despise ourselves be-
cause we have such good reason,
and admire other people because
they cannot be as bad as we are.
To admire oneself is a great sign
Of quality .. And 1t is not
true that people have nothing to
fear If they speak the truth. They
have everything to fear. That Is
the reason for falsehood -. I
am too old for the things I do and
not old enough for the things I
want to do. Fifteen is an intol-
cradle age"
But most of the dialogue in 1.-TWO
Worlds and Their Ways" is inte-
grated to what is going on
vaguely-in the family of Sir Rod
erick and Lady Shelley. their chill
dren and their retainers. All the
characters. including the children,
talk alike. They are supposed to
say what people generally conceal
under the reticence and untruth
Of politeness. No doubt they do.
But truth can be duller. If stranger,
than fiction. At any rate, the
cumulative effect of 311 pages of
this incessant oblique and arch
talk was to bore me stiff. Perhaps
you'll find it as captivating as some
critics evidently have. You can
only experiment. It's a matter of
opinion.
