WHEN TRUE LOVERS COME TOGETHER A Story of Labor Lightened by the Antics of the Little God The question of labor and capital, their I seemingly endless warfare, serves as tho background for a love story wiltten by a man who knows through actual expe rience of conditions whereof ho treats. Alvau Sullivan, author of "The Inner Door," for ten years acted as chief engi neer of a huge Industrial works In Toronto, Can. There he had exceptional opportunity for studying many tpes, tho best as well as the worst. In the labor uorld, among whom he U reputed to have made many enduilng friendships. Some of these tMes aro Indicated by the char.ieteis In Mr. Sullivan's novel, wherein the contest be tween the workmen of a large rubber fac tory and the skillful, mechanically minded, but withal unscrupulous, manager furnishes vivid coloring to a somewhat strenuous romance. Kenneth I.undon. the son of an Idealist whoso finances are suddenly dissipated, finds It necessary to become a money maker. lie goes to work as an ccrydiiy laborer In a factory of which Ills wealthy fiancee. Sylvia JVrclval. Is the owner, without telling her anything about It. His puipose Is not so much the earning of his pay as to get a knowledge of the business "from the ground up," in the hope of Im pi ovlng the conditions under which his fellow employes work, and Imparting this knowledge to his employer on her return from Kurope. whither she has gone In entire Ignuiance that her lover Is alto her employe. In his new environment young I.andon becomes familiar with many of the Just grievances under which his fellows toll. Also he meets Snlimer, the workmen's leader, and the hitter's flaming daughter, flreta. In the midst of a great strike in the rubber factory, young Uindon works out his own salvation; he llnds the woman he loves and needs and who needs and loves him. Sim Is not the wealthy em ployer, who, nevertheless. Is seen as a real woman unspoiled by her riches, and en dowed with a saving common tense that permits her t leallze that her erstwhile sweetheart had a vision of double signi ficance when, he opened the "Inner door" as a workman In her fm-tory.

The shot had de stroyed his sight, He was reported dead and his family went Into mourning. They learned four weeks later that he was u prisoner. He was In ' a German prison camp for three months und was finally re turned to England. He wrote his book when he got back hepne.

H;1X Two Charging Old Ladies "The Little Gods Laugh," by Louise Maunsell Field, Is a society story that dif fers from the novels of Mr. Ttobert W, Chambers only In that the conversation la less frothy and less extended. Outside of two very charming old ladles, the actors In the drama are generally unpleasant, the characterisations overdrawn and hectic.

The period Is the autumn days of I8K, following tlio lliutl ecllpso of tho llri-t Napoleon, when under the Restoration the people wcro seeking to foiget the blood shed that maiked tho pathway ot tho cou ipicror of a continent and the tragic and epoch-making sequence of the Revolution. "WolMurc," Is the enigmatic garment In wlilcji Mr. and Mrs. Castle h.uo wrapped their new nominee. It owes its piquant not fo say bizarre title to the Tact that the nprolue. Adrlenne de ItulTeleu. Is tlio niece of one of the old noblesse whose ancestors for generations had held tho l-ost of wolf master by royal patent. At the outset of tlio story this rcpre Kentatlve of tliu "anelen regime" Is seen ..I retirement, the dignity having been con ferred upon a rival and Inferior family during the avcendancy of the "t'surpcr." The aristocratic Count de HufTclcu has not lecognlzei) this change, however, nnd before the reader has gono very far Into the story ho Is convinced that the old gentleman Is .. bit "ciackcd" over tlio disappearance of Ids son and heir In Infancy ; the child hav ing been spirited away by Ids mother, who nit of pure perveislty and ma.ligii.iney de serted her spouse a few jears after mar . gc. Ills Joy at the return of the heir, as ho supposes. Is turned to poignant grief when the young stranger who visits the old count at his feudal estate makes known that he Is an Ihigllshiuaii on nil archco logical tour tluough thut part of France. After that dlHlllusioniiieiit Count Huffeleu doesn't cut much of a llguro In the story, except when the real heir. In the person of a young daredevil named Montbars, turns up, only to have his noble slro reject him totally as an impostor nnd villain, and eventually to return to Ids hallucination that the English stranger is actually his long-lost son, In which fancy he Is per mitted to die happy. Family name, great treasure, treachery and loiniinre are mingled In the story, which Is tilled with vivid scenes. Including a ferilflc encounter with a wicked old wolf, wherein the life of Montbars Is saved by the Intrepid iirclieologlM. who, by the way, Is the narrator of the story In the first per son. This Is all tho more herol and chivalrous In the latter becwuse he is hope lessly In love with Count IlufTcleu's niece, who in turn Is devoted to the fascinating .Montb.us, not knowing he hi reality Is the missing heir. It Is explained by the nar rator or me personally napless romance-) that he Is able to tell his tale by looking at the far-off days of his youth "through tho big end of a spyglass" that Is, he spins his arn in the mellow old age of a bachelor and can gaze backward without bitterness, If not without pain, for "what might have been." The novel Is marked by the graceful literary stylo that Is chaiacterlstlc of the authors, and the period which serves as the background has decided Interest and charm.
