Another, 'Train ng for tho Stage" (J. B.

Miss Thcodosla Baxter wandered up and
down the world for three years In search
of something to Interest her, only to return
home and find It on the upper doorstep of
her own front door. What she found was
a surprised child holding a baby on her
knees. They were two' of the neighbor's
children, and ero long she met the two
other children of the family. How this
quartet of youngsters reached the heart of

'The Spell of Egypt" (The Page Com
pany, Boston) seems more meritorious than
the average gift book. To be sure. It Is
beautifully produced In paper, printing and
binding and it Is profusely and effectively
Illustrated. In addition, the text Is no
dry-os-dust recital of the chronological steps
of a tourist's tripping through the Pha
raonlo realm, but Is Interesting In matter
and engrossing In presentation. Possibly
the high quality of the text Is duo to the
fact that It Is by a trained Journalist, Archie
Bell, tho dramatlo editor of a Cloveland
newspaper, whose work as reported gave
him the quickness of vision to seize on
str.klng features and the capacity to repro
duce color In words and as crftlo of "first
nights" the power to convey Impressions
quickly and spectacularly. There Is more In
his book than descriptions of the pyramids
and revivals of tho lore of the Ptolemies.
It gives the modern reader an Idea of mod
ern Egypt; it leaves the antique to Bawlln-son.

Though It may ba a long way to Tip

Barr McCutcheon's lively fancy and the
same author's field of virion "From the
Housetops," which Is the title of his latest
novel, just from the press of Dodd, Mead
Co , New York.
The author In picturing the affection of a
rloh old mart for his nephew, an affection
which takes the form of ostensibly disin
heriting him to keep him from marrying the
girl of his choice, whom he shrewdly and
accurately suspects of wanting the nephew
In question on account of his expected
wealth, carries the conceit farther by caus
ing the old gentleman to marry the mer
cenary person hlmseir.
Nephew Is a surgeon, who a year after
the hateful marriage Is called on by the old
man to perform a nccersartly fatal opera
tion on his tortured body. Tho young sur
geon's objections aro overruled by the posi
tive orders'ot the dying man, who apparent
ly has discovered hitherto unsuspected vir
tues In his young wife, and Is content to
have hjs nephew marry his widow. After
the tragedy of the operation, which might
have been averted but for a fractional slip
of the surgeon's knife, the Inevitable hap
pens, and the young people ara free to follow
the dictates of their hearts.
Mr. McCutcheon makes it clear that the
"accident" of the operating table, by reason
of the young surgeon's surDsimlnr skill.
might havo been averted but for an order
whispered to him by the dying uncle Just
before he went under the ether. The author
leaves It to the reader's conscience whether
this sort of euthanasia Is Justifiable. In view
of the fact that the old man would have
aiea within a few months even It the "ao
cldent" had not happened, and that both tho
patient nnd the surgeon were aware of tho
fact that n. successful operation would hae
ontalled only additional and hopeless suffer

It's hard to write a story ot the Mexican
border nowadays without something In It
about the movies. B. M. Bower haa not
been able to leave out the films In her new
novel, 'The Heritage of the Sioux" (Little.
Brown ft Co., Boston). The "Flying U"
boys are again daredevil and laugh-making
figures In the Bower story. There is a
framed-up bank robbery for film purposes
and a real "blowing" for the sake ot loot
This Is only a hint of the adenturoua
action that sweeps reslstlessly through the
pages. Annie Many-Ponies, daughter of a
Sioux sachem, la an appealing person ot
the drama, and the trust reposed In her Is
well warranted. Altogether a rattling
story, that Is better In conception and ex
pression than the conventional thriller on
account of Its emotional moments under
standing portrayed and Its touches of real
humanity In characterisation.
A stimulating volume with what popu
larly Is called a "kick" In It Is "Open That
Door." by B, Sturgls Ingersoll (J. B. Llp
plncott Company, Philadelphia). Its main
theme, although thin Is cleverly concealed.
Is how to get the best out ot life. And
It develops this theme by being an en
thustastto Introduction to those who do the
work of the world, to that great source of
Inspiration and fellowship literature. The
book, although small, contains a great deal
that Is well worth the reading. Above all
else It Is noteworthy In that the author
nevor falls Into the error of mistaking senti
mentallsm for sentiment
Kllxa Calvert Hall's new volume of Ken
tucky stories, "Clover and Blue Grass"
(Little, Brown & Co., Boston), has the same
charm and sympathetic touch as ha her
earlier success, "Aunt Jane of Kentucky."

honest and thoughtful, of such high philo

irrepressible glints of humor , , . the thing
Still grips me." -Chicago Herald.
