AMERICAN
ADVENTURES
jffJVENTS and observations in a ramble through the most pier
sf turesque and Anglo-Saxon section of America, the South. Mr.
Street and Mr. Morgan followed the same method of travel and
observation that resulted in "Abroad at Home," which covered the
middle belt of the country from New York to San Francisco, and
was one of the great successes of recent years.
To produce "American Adventures" these two gay and very hu
man travelers visited numerous Southern cities and towns, and took
plenty of time to do it. They tried to see everything worth while,
and they had a lot of fun doing it. They discuss everything from
Richmond belles to Mississippi floods, from plantation songs to the
wasters at Palm Beach, from "you all" to the negro. Mr. Street
and Mr. Morgan saw the significant South, and saw it appreciatively ;
they did not see it humorously, but they did see all the humors of it.
"American Adventures" is a book to please every Southerner
and every other American. In make-up, as well as in subject matter,
an ideal gift book.

Tolnt to tho British urmlcs?" Doctor Mo
Fabre asked.
"I bcllevo ho did say something about
a reconciliation between tho colonies and
tho king," Bald I. "but nobody took him
seriously In this matter.' Ho forfeited the
respect of Amorlciins and ho was unable
to win tho conlldence of tho English. And
I doubt If ho had Ills own respect, al
though ho tried to nrguo himself Into
believing that ho wus a broad-minded
patriot."
"That Is a lino quality In human tiaturo'

marked Doctor McFabro. "Wo always
respect the man who keeps faith oven to
hla own hurt. I confess that with all my
efforts to bo tolerant I Ilnd It dllllcult to
forglvo thoso poisons who, from an ex
cessive KcrisltlvencMH of conscience which
makes them hate force, will do nil In their

"You are not wtong." said Miss Ames.
"I am only a woman, but T nm not so

pacifists nro traitors even If they have
not been guilty of an overt act Is that
tho right way to Hay It?" And she smiled
at tho young man.
"You are dolnr? very well," he replied.
"I think I could make a lawyer of you."
"I dare you to try," sho challenged.
"Let's not start a law school here." 1
objected. "Wo wero talking of treason
and traitors. I hopo that thcro will be
no occnslon for tho world to consider
tho caso of another Benedict Arnold. One
Is enough. I havo been reading about
Arnold lately. F. J. Htlmson. u Boston
lawyer, who Is or was n lecturer In the
Harvard Law School, has written a
mighty Interesting book about the traitor.
It Is In tho form of an autobiography.
Its publishers call It a historical novel.
Didn't somebody once say that historical
novels wero unsatisfactory, for the reason
that they were neither history nor Ac
tion?" "I don't know who It was." said Doctor
McFabro, "but I think ho was about
right."
"Thcro aro somo notable exceptions,"
said Owen.
"Mr. Stimson's novel would never bo
mistaken for fiction," said I. "It reads
us If it wero actually tha work of Aruold
himself. Thcro nro errors of fact In it
which Arnold might havo fallen Into, and
th'ero Is nn unconscious revelation of tho
defects of tho man's character which
ho would havo disclosed If ho had done
tho writing himself. But there Is an an
achronism hero nnd there for which Mr.
Stlmson himself Is to blame. For exam
ple, ho makes' Arnold speak of himself,
after his treason, as a pacifist. So far as
1 can discover and I havo consulted sev
oral unabridged dictionaries this word
did not como Into uso until within tho
last flvo or ten years. It appears in only
ono dictionary, and there it is In a sup
plement published in 1311. Perhaps Mr.
Stlmson uses tho word so ns to suggost

'that tho Hessian troops fought Hko Ger

MRS. BENEDICT ARNOLD (PEGGY SHIPPEN) AND HER DAUGHTER
From tho portrait by Sir Thomas Lawrence in the Historical Society
of Pennsylvania.
Interested moio in Arnold's story of his
courting of Peggy Slilppcn, or you ought
to be. You know she was his necond
wlfo. Ills Hist wife died a year or two
boforo ho enmo to Philadelphia, leaving
him threo sons. He was thirty-seven yenrs
old and Miss Slilppcn was nineteen when
ho met her. Ho had-won fame as n
military commander. If it had not been
for him Burgoyne would have won tho
battle of Saratoga. Ills expedition to
Quebec through Malno Involved ono ot
tho most heroic marches in nil history.
Thcro Js no doubt that ho was n hero nnd

ernor of Philadelphia, nnd that still far -
ther dazzled the eyes of tho girl. Sho
married him when sho was twentv and
he was thirty-tight, and In less than two
years, while her first child was only a
fow months old, he- husband forfeited
his clnlm to honor by deliberately betray
ing his country. Yet sho remained true
to him nnd accompanied him to Kngland.
She boro him three sons and one daugh
ter. Ono of her tons was made u knight,
but her husband never received the hon
ors from tho king which ho had expected.
She must havo felt keenly her position
ns tho wlfo of a traitor from whom tho
stain of his treason could not bo re
moved." "Poor girl!" exclaimed Miss Ames.
"Yes. and unfortunate, misguided man!"
said Doctor McFabro.
"It Is fortunato that Mr. Stlmson has
written his book nt this time." said I.
"As a study in treason and its conse
quences It la of great value and Impor
lanco Just now when war Is raging
and misguided Individuals nro harboring
the notion 'hat they know better what is
good for the world than tho military lead
ers and tho governments supporting
them In tho field. We may bo generous
nnd give Arnold tho benefit of every
doubt, and yet wo must admit that he
mado a stupendous ethical blunder. Mr.
Stlmson has so constructed his story thai
It Is easy to read between the lines and
discover tho moral defects of tho man.
Ho makes Arnold Fay bitter things about
Joseph Heed. Oenerals dates and Lee, nnd
ho has him complain about tho nctlvlty
of his enemies, as If that Justified his
attempts to botray tho cause of tho colo
nies. His plot failed, hut tho British did
not glvo him any opportunity to accom
plish his purposo in another way. N'o
ofllcors would servo under him, nnd, al
though he was put In command of ono or
two raiding expeditions, ho did not no
compllsh anything. His treason destroyed
his usefulness as an Instrument In any
cause, for ho had forfeited tho respect
of worthy men. A note of sad regret
sounds through tho wholo book. If Ed
ward Everett Halo had not pre-empted
tho title years before. Mr. Stlmson might
well havo called his story 'Tho Man With
out a Country.' "
"Perhaps If somo of our pacifist citizens
troubled with an ingrowing consclcnco
should read It they might take warning
lest they, too, should suffer tho samo
fate." said Owen.
"It Is good reading for all of us nt this
time," said I.

"The Blind Man's ICycs," a vigorous story
tha merits of which are not nullified by
saying that the authors have surpassed
them In this season's enthralling book.
This is a mystery story and It roust be
read for Btory'a sake, not for characteriza

novel In the sense that th6 rapidly sue
ceedlnff, baffling, sensational episodes keep
the reader spellbound and not spellbinding
In the sense of a plethora of words without
action. The scenes are laid In contemporary
Chicago and an old legend that dates back
to tha days when Chicago was Fort Dear

It that when the lake t'alled Michigan
takes a life tho booming of an Indian drum
la heard marking the toll. Yet when a now
steel freighter went down with twenty-five

four. This Is linked up ingeniously with
the career of a chap whose parents are

Pranks of the Senator's Son
From gravo to gav tho transition Is easy
enough, as Montgomery Ilolllns clearly
demonstrates In the latest product of a pen
which his publl-'hers explain has furnished
"many books of a moro serious nature." It
Is hard for the reader of "Tho Village
Pest" to realize that the nutho; has given
to tho financial world sundry profound dis
cussions that havo had respectful attention
from men Immersed In weighty affairs of
business. "A Story of David," which Is the
subtitle of Mr. Ilolllns's rollicking- yarn,
treats of a boy, a very real one, who lived,
moved and had his being In the Wash
ington, D. C, of noma thirty years ago.
David Is the Irrepressible son of a deeply
burdened and at tho same time deeply dis
cerning United States Senator of tho old
school, nnd from tho very first chapter the
youth Is tocn storming tha high halls fjf
state, unharmed and undaunted amid perils
before which his ciders might hao been ex
cused for quailing. This likable though mis
chievous and uproarious young person
careers through tho national capital with
utter disregard of hair-raising oxperlencos
that fall to his lot and that of his Intrepid
companions, to say nothing of tho elder
statesmen of his time. Including his sagu
clous and not altogether unsympathetic
father. Tho coolness and versatility with
which David plans his campaigns, and tha
philosophy with which ha Invariably meets
tho reckoning, prove him a literal chip of
tho old block, and the pranks ho plays and
tho events which win him his sobriquet of
the "village pest" aro of a quality calcu
lated to make the mature reader of Mr.
Ilolllns's story feel again the thrill of the
deathless days of happy anil Irresponsible
boyhood.

Frightfulness in Fiction
There Is no doubt that a nameless terror
hung over tho people of rural England
when Herman frightfulness began to be
manifested by air raids on peaceful vil
lages and when gas began to be used In
the trenches early In the war. The
descendants of tho people who during the
Napoleonic wars believed that the Corslcan
had a baby served up for his breakfast
every day were ready to believe that the
Prussians' -were 'responsible 'for every un
toward thing happening In the country.
Arthur Machen, who delights In the weird
and gruesome, has put this feeling of the
British Into a novel. He has men and
women found dead In tho roadways with
no apparent clue to the murder. He has a
whole houseful of people found starved
,to death because they dared not go out
of doors a record is left by one of the
victims. He describes the appearance ut
night of mysterious clouds near the ground,
shot through with lights, and suggests that
CJerman spies Jiving; underground have pro
duced a gas that seta men and animals wild
and Impels them to do terrible things. The
story U Internum as a study in the
pnreswiecr cwrror.

HOPE HELD OUT

Benson's Novel of IMulure Love
a Gentle Satire of Great
Charm
Imaglno yourself before tho war In n

elor nnd his selfish faultfinding mo i ther,
proud of her klndhlp to th noblllt 11";";:

girl of nineteen. Then imagine '.. 1; Ben
son, the brilliant eplgrammatlu author or
"Dodo," describing how these ms r-nct
upon one another. If tho reader well versed
In modern fiction can think of anything that
would glvo greater pleasu'c In certain
moods his Imagination Is fertile Indeed. 1-or-tunatcly
for thoso who so'k agreeable di
version, It Is not necessarto imaglno theso
tilings, for Mr. Benson has written a nove
In which ho has done what Is Indicated
In tho preceding sentences. "The Tortoise,
as he calls tho book, is delightful. The
story Is told with a gentle satire that shows
tho softening effect of the years upon tho
author's mordant wit It Is really a rwr -fully
thought out study of the umatorv
psychology of the mature Tho love r.f
fair of tho boy and girl Is Introduced to
show how tho fires of early passion have
burned low lu n man of forty and a woman
of thirty-five who wer on the ergc of mar
riage when they were much younger The
man drew back out of respect to the wishes
of his mother, who could not .irlng hertclf
to consent to the presence of a woman In
tho house ns her sou's wife The man Is the
tortoise. He discovers that be can do noth
ing but loot; on at the wooing of thn young
people, even though ho h.V bgim to long
to make the girl his own wife Many women
will be moro Interested In the development
of the diameter of the thlrty-fh -vear-uld

nro thousands of such women in merlca
.and hundreds In Philadelphia who will rec
ognize themsrhes In the portrait The
story hold.1 out hope for them lw cause In
tho end the man discovers that there Is no
real happiness for him save by marrying
his friend of long standing.
The story Is told In a leisurely manner
Tho trivial and unexciting nmustinents of
tho gentlefolk are described as though thev
wero of great consequence. Mr. Benson
treats them ns seriously as his characters
do. He takes them on their picnics and
boating excursions He tells of their ten
nis and croquet games anil their tea par
ties and he leads the reader through the
tragic heartburnings of the singers prepar
ing for tho Christmas music In tho church
Such Is tho life of the small town, and In
Its way it is as Important as tho life of
tho great city The actors movo on a less
ample stfiRe. That Is the only difference of
consequence. But the reader does not re
gard them as actors. Mr. Benson h.is made
them seem so real that when the book Is
flnlrhud one bids a reluctant adieu as to old
friends

withal a healthv honesty." '
