Ossendewaki's Tale of His Wan

Marce Pole's Adventures
Alexin Trlena, the here of W. .T.
Leckc'd latest novel, wrete ft book
of adventures In llussln during the
Helshevlk revolution biiBcd en the notes
of one of Its victims. "JleiiBtfl, Men
ami GeiIh" (K. P. Datten & Ce.) is
tlie actual Htery of the adventures of
Ferdinand Ossendewnkl, a I'elish man
of science, while escaping from the
Helshevlk! who wanted te kill him.
Mr. Osxcndewaki held an Important
sclentillc position in Hutsia and the
revolution found hltu in Krasneyarsk
in Western Siberia. When he learned
that the Uelahevlkl were after him he
lied south into the forest nnd lived
nlnne for months until he encountered
ether men in his own plight. He then
tried te leach India by way of Mon
golia and Tibet, but was turned back
at the Tibetan border liy a lerce ei
brigands who would permit no strangers
te enter the count rv. lie had te re
ll life his steps nnd go eastward Inte
Manehiirhi. lie Iltiallv reached a Mil Mil
leon en the Trans-Siberian Hiiilread
and reuched Peking. Frem there he
came te the Vnlted States and was In
Washington nt the limn of the Peace
t eufcience. lie planned writing a doek
aiieut the Hern ami fauna et the nine
known regions that ht hud traversed,
but an UL'(Utiintituce. te whom he told
his plan, incieefitally revealing Heme
of the terrible experiences he had un
dergone, told him that no one would
buy his scientific book, but thnt if he
would write the story of his adventures
he would produce temcthliig that was
worth while.
OsM-iiilewskl acted en this advice and
this book is the result. It Is a late
of the Incredible. It does net seem
possible that men could bunt down
ether men as if they were wild ani
mals as lb,. Itelshelki hunted down the
refiicccs' HeeliiL' from their tvrnnnv. And
It docs net seem pesrdblc either Hint
such curious beliefs ami customs could
exist as he found among the native
with whom he came la contact. If It
described the life of tlie tenth century
it would net be mere foreign te what we
are accustomed te en this side of the
ocean.
Ne mere extraordinary record of
human experience has been published
for tweni.f -live years or mere. It Is
extraordinary for the simple and modest
wav in which the story is told as well
as for the iharacler of the story Itself.
If the hunt of the HuKhevlkl for vie
'inis wen- emittcil it is such a bonk
as Mti "co Pole wrote about his journey
overland te China.

Whoe detective talen nre fuller of
satire than of nistcry
SKILLFUL SATIRE
Chesterton's "Th Man Who
Knew Toe Much" Aimed at
the Foibles of the British
Gilbert K. Chesterton is tee much of
a satirist te write a story merely for
the snke of tlie story. Consequently
his deticthe stories will ncer rival
these of Pee or Dele or the ether
masters of the art of unruwllng mys
teries for the delectation of the idle
ami the weary, lie has te make them
n comment en life lather than a mere
entertainment. In "The Man who
Knew Toe Much" (Harper & Itroth Itreth
ers). he has assembled u gump of tales
about the activities of Heme Fisher,
his amateur detective who inner brings
n man te puiushmiut. Usher is as
distinguished in his way as is Sher
lock Helmes in his way. Possibly the
secret of Mr. Chestertet.V theory in
creating Heme Fisher is best disclosed
in th tale he calls "The Timpte of
Silence." This tells hew Fisher when
i "" man was induced te stand for
Parliament. He entered the race in
geed taith only t discover that he was
te lie isd te split the opposition vote
against the candidate whose election
the political peweis clcired te insure.
This candidate wn-. a bacUmnilnr and a
geneiall.v disreputable chancier, but
the !u' eminent had need of him.
Fisher, who was elected after all be
cause of the skill of his own campaign,
refused te take his "eat out of disgust
willi the devious and illshenivt wave
of politics. He knew ten much, but he
did net knew hew te light the whole
Hrltish political sstcin. If one reads
the book as saliie. one will find it en
teitalning. Theie is bound in the snnie volume a
long sheit story, "The Trees of
Pride," which is a sort of allegory
about the pestilential character of pride
Itself. It deals with the mysterious
disappearance of a haughty country
squire who persists in pteserving some
peacock trees en his land In spite of
the belief of the ceuntiy side, supported
by the resident physician, that they
breed disease. Incidentally it is a
preachment against snp"istitien.

SIR JAMES BARRIE
In the new popular edition of the Barrie plays, the six single plays listed below are
published in beards at $1.00 each and in leather at $1.75, while the two volumes of
shorter plays are available in beards at $1.25 each and in leather at $2.00. The eight

Grew Yeung Again With Barrie!
De you knew what the policeman gave Cinderella
instead of an engagement ring? Why, when her
husband laughed, did Maggie Shand knew that he
was saved? What is the "twelve-pound leek"?
Read the Barrie plays and you will learn these
secrets, and many ethers. Above all, you will learn
the secret of perpetual youth. It is Barrie's secret
Barrie who refuses te see life through the sober
spectacles of the workaday world.
Reading him is like going en some fabulous and
delightful adventure: old barriers of age and habit
fall away, and in a flash one touch of whimsey
makes the whole world kin. Who that has known
Peter Pan is net the younger and mere daring for
hat experience! Hew many a budding cynic has
been saved by the Admirable Crichton, that paragon
among butlers !
Grew young again with Barrie. In his plays you
will find him at his joyous best. It is only in recent
years that he has consented te their publication but
with what added descriptions, what Barnesque
asides!
The Barrie plays can be obtained at any bookstore or direct from the publishers.
