It Is a vlHd picture of the Canadian
Northwest with a new sort of coloring, that
Sir Gilbert Parker draws In his latest story.
Tho World for Sale" (Harper & Bros . New
York). The noet had Its first Introduc
tion as a magatlne serial, but now takes
Its place among this popular author's writ
ings In the form of an appropriately Illus
trated volume. In Its pnges are shown
familiar types of the Interesting figures
who have transformed large areas of a
domain that long since rejected the poetic
appellation of "Our Lady of tho Snows"
into a land of human feeling and the noma
of a people vibrant with the qualities
adapted to -tig" enterprises.
Dominant among the several vital person
nges of the story Is a "master of men,"
who In a sense recalls Sir Gilbert's "Money
Master," but with the difference that this
Ingolby, who may be described as a "bene
olent despot" In the matter of business,
with no merely personal aggrandizement ns
Its object, i not handicapped by the
anlty of his philosophical prototype, but
cngnges In his great enterprises with a
view to the upbuilding of a community
barely emerged, from lawlesi frontier ex
istence. Max Ingolby' character is namir
ably delineated by the skillful craftsman of
"The World for Sale," who rescues him
from tho monopolistic pitfall Into which he
la surely trending through the pervashe In
fluence 6f the heroine, a gypsy girl. This
charming, courageous and Intensely human
Creature, Imbued with Just a trace of the
superstltl6n of her ancient race. Is tho
daughter of the "Ry of Itys," the Romany
title for the king of a vagabond people.
Parental love alone has caused this sturdy
old sovereign to exile himself In a Canadian
community, without diminishing bin powei
oer his roMng subjects. Here ho dwells a
respected If somewhat mysterious citizen,
whoso actions make It clear that he sanc
tions his daughter's desertion of her Rom
any race and who proves himself a man of
ndinlrabte parts, for all his barbaric origin
and connections.
There M nothing especially deep nbout
Phyllis Uottome's novel, 'The Dark
Tower" (the Century Company, New York).
Tho story Is quite light In many ways, but
It is well written nnd Interesting.
The scene Is set In rural England In the
midst of the violent, turbulent and tem
pestuous Staines family, all tho membors
of which evidently are as violent, pasilon-
ata and strong-blooded as their ancestors.
It then shifts to snow-capped Switzerland
and ends with rather startling cUmaxion
the battlefield "somewhere" In France.
Some of the characters decidedly are In
teresting. Old Sir Peter Staines, retired
English Admiral, has the gout, a lolent
temper nnd a flow of profanity more violent
still. His wife Is an adequate mate, while
one daughter has eloped with a prize
fighting groom and another has captured
and cowed a curate. But the story centers
chiefly about Winn Staines, a true "chip
of the old block," and the "pretty pnk and
white mendacious cat" he married too early.
The blood nnd thunder of diplomacy
fairly describes John Reed Scott's "Cab of
the Sleeping Horse" (O. P. Putnam's Sons.
New York). For those who would hae
neither Nick Carft nor Oppcnhelrn, Mr.
Scott's clever admlxturo of both will be
pleasing. To It Is added a bold touch of
Sherlock Holmes also. While there Is
somewhat of tho thug In his latest novel,
there Is none the less much of tho finesse
and cleverness of kid-gloved diplomacy.
Two stunningly beautiful women, one the
"lure" and the other an Innocent player,
contribute essential spice. A feature Is the
brilliancy of lines In the parrying of the
contending characters.,
Cyrus Townsend Brady In "The More Ex
cellent Way" (Q. P. Putnam's Sons, New
York) has chosen to deal with a far more
complex problem than tho building of the
Immense bridge which formed the setting
for "Tho Web of Steel." Indeed, his latest
book touches upon an old but Intricate sub
ject that of divorce In modern society.
Tho scene Is laid In Sorrento, Italy, but
shifts rapidly to New York, Bermuda and
Reno. The story centers chiefly about
Chrlssey de Selden, for whom two men
fight a duel almost in me opening-cnapier.
The opening paragraph even speaks well
for the dymatlo development of thoso which
follow:
"In horror she stared at the prostrate
man's face, white from unconsciousness,
and whiter still from the moonlight. Shame,
bitter resentment against outraged modesty
and shattered hope, filled her heart."
It you are tona oi tno novels oi .uocior
Brady, don't miss this one.

WW
quick-moving novel with some characters
that stand out prominently and some scenes
that are presented with exquisite art llut
It Is not a 'Teter" or a "Kennedy Squire"
Its characters are not those of Hopklnson
Smith.
Ono of tho finest chapters In tho book
tho Adirondack setting Is very evidently
entirely tho work of tho younger man, nnd,
good as It Is, It does not fit In well with
the accompanying story. However, no one
who taken any Interest In tho best of
modern Action should miss "Enoch Crane"
collaboration notwithstanding.
Tho charm of Will N. Harben's works
Is welt maintained In "Second Cholco"
(Harper & llros , New Tork), his last
novel. AVhllo perhaps not tho equal of
"Abner Daniel" or "Io!e Baker," It has
many of tho attractive elements that thoso
two and others possessed. William Dean
Howells says of Harben that "his pcoplo
talk as If they had not been In books be
fore." Ccitnlnly that Is an apt description.
There Is very seldom any traco of "book
lshness" In "Second Choice." It Is a plain,
rather prosaic portraiture of present-day
Georgian life, told In a stylo that is beauti
ful In Its simplicity and which leans far
on tho side of realism. The main fault to
bo found with tho book as a whole Is tho
absence of a big, vital theme.
"The Cross of Heart's Desire," by
Ocrtrudo Fahlow (DufClcld & Co, New
York), Is the old story of trials and tribula
tions Buttered before the goal of life Is
attained. The story la of a beautiful girl
whose Bclf-adoratlon Is about to destroy
her, but who saves herself In ministrations
to others' needs.
"The Banner of the White Horse," a
tale of tho Saxon conquest of Britain, by
Clarence Marsh Case (Charles Scrlbner's
Sons, New York), with Aella, the son of
Horsa, as the hero, has plenty of thrills
for the boy reader. Here wo see the Saxon
ships of Henglst and Horsa bearing the
expeditionary army through tho stormy
North Sea; tho battles against the IMcts
nnd Scots, then against the Britons, and
tho first softening Influences of Christi
anity. A new edition of George Moore's "Mus
lin" (Brentano, New York) would not be
half so Interesting were It not for the
somewhat Shavian pref-ce. Of course,
there Is none of Shaw's brilliant satire nnd
wit, but there 1p a good deal of amusing
thought that wo would never find in the
tedious novel Itself. In his unimpeachable
style Mr. Moore moves through some 300
pages of plot, which savors of modernity,
but which. In Its weight and ponderousness,
could never satisfy the restless haste of
present-day readers.
"Told by the Sandman" (Harper & Bros ,
New York), by Abble Phillips Walker, Is
a collection of bedtime stories, stories of
fairies, trees and many other things that
children love to hear about. The stories
are Just long enough to hold the attention
of small listeners.
"The Unofficial Prefect" (Lothrop, le
& Shepard Company, Boston), by A. T.
Dudley, Is the latest addition to the "Sto
ries of the Triangular League." This Is a
tale of a young student of exceptional abil
ity, who for a time Is so hampered by his
own selfishness that he Is refused a place
on the first eleven and falls to obtain a
seat In tho student government. However,
he meets hla disappointment manfully and
turns over a new leaf. Not only does this
give a great victory to his school, but It
brings out the real boy In him.
Decidedly, Simon N. Tatten's little Look,
"Culturo and War" (U, W. Hucbch, New
York), Is worth more than a caRUal read
ing. It Is a philosophical treatment of
great world truths written for the man of
deeper understanding. It la an attempt,
In the first place, to Interpret that "clash
of Ideals" among nations which, according
to the author, Is responsible for tho pres
ent world conflict.
Tho opposition of Germany's new cul
tural philosophy, a vital, growing, dynamic
thing, to the static philosophy of the Anglo
Snxon, or. In brief, the social Ideal as op
posed to the personal. Is given ns tho chief
cause of our nattonnl antagonisms. Wo
must try to understand tho significance of
Ocrman culture, continues the author, be.
cause It Is bound to becomo our own, since
tho same forces that created It In Ger
many nro present here.
But the German belittles' his own phllosr
ophy by npplylng It only to national prob
lems, making n great thing (small. Worst
of all, ho uses conflict, or war, as the means
to attain his end. It Is for us to crcato
from German culturo a "super-culture," rec
ognizing that the philosophy of conflict,
common to Teuton nnd Saxon, Is the chief
deterring force to tho triumph of tho mag
nificent philosophy of culturo.
After stating the problem, Mr. Patten
explains tho possibilities of separating cul
ture from war In a way which would
necessarily end In tho elimination of war.
Ills conclusions are most stimulating nnd
convincing. Wo feel a new world-Ideal tak
ing form and becoming alive and attainable.
When thero was talk of nominating Mr.
Hughes for tho presidency In 1908, a volume
of his nddrcsscs was published by G. V.
Putnam's Sons, New York, with an In
troduction by Trosldent Schurmnn, of Cor
nell University. A new edition of tho
nddrcsscs has been prepared with. a supple
mentary Introduction, which, combined with
the first, constitutes an excellent campaign
biography of Mr. Hughes. Tho new volume
contntns also tho famous Youngstown
speech In which tho keynote of the 1908
campaign for Taft was Bounded, ns well ns
Mr. Hughes's telegram accepting tho presi
dential nomination nnd his Carneglo Halt
address .of acceptance. His speech before
the New' York Stnte Bar Association last
January Is also given.
This Is of particular Interest nt tho pres
ent time, because In It ho discussed tho ex
tension of tho power of Congress over In
terstate commerco from tho point of a view
of n Justlco of tho Supreme Court. Tho
addresses reveal tho mind of tho man nnd
his attitude toward all tho vital public
questions, but they deserve attention not
primarily becausa Mr. Hughes Is a can
didate for ofllcc. but because they nro
worthy contributions to tho literature of
Amorlcan social, economlo and political
problems.
When a soldier comes back from tho
front and tells us of something besides glory
and courage and misery In tho trenches,
we have much to be grateful for. In this
day of scarcity of paper a few real truths
of the European struggle, such as Patrick
MacGUl's "Red Horizon" (Doran, N. Y.),
would suffice for all the useless romance and
glamour which wo usually get from the
battlefield.
There Is more behind the war than eentl-.
mental patriotism. There Is even some
thing besides tragedy and death. There
Is a reality, and overjdayness which most
participants Ignore as uninteresting. Yet
when Mr. MacGlll tells of that Bide ho fires
sensitive minds with sedition rather than
patriotism. It may bo a minor matter, as
far as hidden diplomatic actions are con
cerned, whether a lot of robust men and
beardless boys spend hours, days and
months In filthy trenches, eating fpod fit
for the pigs, or depending on their miser
able wages to give them something better,
whether they sleep In haylofts with rats
as bedfellows, or whether they fall Into
lust and plunder when relaxing from their
murderous occupation, But to the persons
who know the values of life and who
realise the little details In the exist
ence of young and old from day to day these
pictures of wretchedness and misery carry
conviction with them and make firm the
determination to suppress such periodic
crimes of humanity.
Unconsciously, Mr. MacGlll has contrib
uted to pacifist propaganda, and he has
done It w th the unusual simplicity and
strength which "The Bat Pit" nnd "The
Children of the Dead Rnd" displayed. There
Is nothing In tho situations to arouse our
love for the dramatic; there Is no unusual
depth of character to the participants ; but
there Is always a reality to people and
events which brings the bloody fields of
Kurope nearer to our qu'et homes than
many another book has done.
Pew things are moro satisfying than to
sit In the midst of comfortable surroundings
nnd read of some one' else's hardships
amid tropical heat, storm and human
menace. Those who enjoy difficulties vicar
iously, In addition to those who love a
story of adventures along the open road,
will find a pleasant couple of hours In
"Tramping Through Mexico, Guatemala
nnd Honduras" (Century Company, New
York), by Henry Franck, who has two
other noteworthy books of adventurous vag
abondago to his credit. In this story
Franck starts at the Texas border and
pushes the reader straight down through
a large area of I.atln America. He de
scribes nlmost everything that he saw and
did, nnd but little less of what he ate.
Graphlo pictures of peon life In Mexico
abound, and there Is much real Information
about tho general misery of life In Hon
duras. Llfo In Iitln America may be col
orful, but Franck does not make It appear
attractive.
rractlcally everything -which a United
States citizen may care to know about army
discipline, conduct and regulations can- be
found In "The Soldier's Catechism"
(Doubleday, Page & Co, New York). It
Is a compilation In question nnd answer
style of Infantry drill regulations, signal
ing, rules of warfare, army regulations,
discipline, history of the United States,
first-aid manual, camp sanitation and per
sonal nygiene and related subjects, gath
ered by Major F. & Bolles and Captains
II C. Jones and J. SJJpham, of the United
States Army. Major General Hugh L.
Scott, chief of staff, has written an Intro
duction. The catechism, which has been
Indorsed by tho Army War College, Is an
excellent reference work for those studying
mo unucu mates Army.
"Physical Training for Boys" (Lothrop,
Lee & Shepard Company, Boston) Is a
simple hnndbook of the principles of phy
sical training for the Individual boy,
whether ho trains privately or In company
with other boys. M. N. Bunker, the au
thor, gives a number of useful exercises to
build up the body. The book also contains
nn Interesting and pointed discussion of
health principles.

V SARAH GRAND
The New Novel by
the Author of "The
Heavenly Twine."
In a book of rare literary excellence, Madame Grand tells
of the indomitable spirit of an English girl whose deter
mination to be victorious in life carries her from a lace
maker's shop to the highest position in English society.
Her experiences in London, where she opens a bazaar,
her love for a distinguished writer, her hesitancy in choos
ing between love and ambition, all are strikingly por
trayed. Though many dramatic incidents tend to shake
the girl's faith in herself and in every one else, the story
ends with a strong note of hope and happiness.
