In this cose It Is the contrasts between New York nnd Middle Western nnu .New England customs nnd tempera ments. Tho two protagoui'ts of the plot, which Is metropolitan in its scope and sweep, have respectively mid-West nnd New England antecedents. One is tho almost standardized, certainly tpl cal, American man of action, of Inces sant forwardness toward conventional ideals of success which are so often called nnd miscalled American ; the other is tho man of moods, dreams, vi sions, that other very genulno Amer ican typo which is so seldom realized ns belonging indigenously to us the Idealist.

As might bo expected from the re vealing nnd earnest author of "Our America," even his fiction U marked t the cast nf thought, but it is not sicklied nor is the penumbra pale. He has written un Interesting, n moving novel, and one that Is authentic In values nnd important in qiinlit), sub stance and merit. THH DARK MOTHKn )! Waldo l'rank.

Hover, sometime lecturor at the orbonne, is doing n good service both from the literary and international standpoints in making available, through j this series of translations, novels that , illustrate for the American and other I wjlish-spiaklng peoples the life and, manners of modern Trance, dating, ns do most hlxtoiles of this period, from about the Ilnttle of Waterloo. I 1'erlgord piovides the provincial en-j vironment for "Jacquou, thellcbel" und the time-spun covered Is from 1810 to ISII0. This territory, we nrc told, up to the da.vs of the great European war. had very slightly changed any of its ways of thinking or of doing. In nt tnosphere and customs the smnll peas ant communities of I'erigord let great evints, successive philosophies, modern Impulses und Inventions pass over its nuktistle, unruffled spirit, untouched nnd unscathed by their changes. The essential kindliness, the "bon homie" nnd "bon esprit" of the Trench peasant ihnrnctcr, its innate dignity and its simple faith nnd devoutness foim the popular or communal back ground for this novel of I,c Hoy's, which authorities consider quite the best of them nnd little, if nil thing, shoit of lie Muupassunt's in penetration and itmllty. I.e Hoy has given an excellent picture of what is h( coming since the I'liissiun onrush and the new moods nnd feelings stirred by tho great war a vanishing phase of Trench civilization. And he has stressed, anal) zed and in terpreted thoso qualities which have made and continue! to make French civ ili.Hion so Inspiring nnd so valuable to tho world. In plot and character Mudy I.e Hoy's novel Is a powerful ot subtle presen tation of sturdy personality oppugnnnt to privilege working through intrigue and injustice to its selfish an self In terested ends. The stiugplo of honesty and decency, standing up successfully against evil qualities and sinister meth ods, is well pojcctcil, bometimcH Willi highh dramatic touches.

Handsome, distinguished, mysterious but a stranger. Yet here they were, alone on a mountain-side of the Alps, miles from home, in a raging blizzard.

If you admire a man because he is strong and handsome and brave in the face of danger if you can sympathize with a man who is shadowed by a bit ter past whose manner is sometimes rough and rude a man who can fight to the end when he hates, and go through fire for the woman he loves If you love a girl who is beautiful and proud and vivid but who will sacrifice her own happiness for the man she loves If you love a story where there is something exciting on every page where you can't read fast enough to find out what happens next and yet you're sorry when there isn't more Then you must read "The-House of Dreams-Come-True," and after that "The Hermit of Far End" by the same author.
