DONN BYRNE'S MAGIC
It s Used with Telling Effect in
a Tale About Hew "The
Wind Bleweth"
"The Wind Bleweth" (The Century
Company), by Denn Byrne, Is mnde of
the some rnnglc that filled his cnrller
book, "Mcsser Mnrce l'ole." In the
creation of sheer glamour there nre few
living nutuers writing in the Kngli.su
tongue who are his equal.
The story starts with Shane Camp
bell, an Irish lad, going up a mountain
in County Antrim en his fourteenth
birthday te see Dancing Town "the
mirage of Pertcausey the Isle e
Ne Land at All and the Swinging City,
and they were te be seen In the blue
heat haze ever the sea from the Moun
tain of Fionn
Llttle Shane gees te sea in a sailing
ship at his earliest opportunity, full of
wonder and half hoping te find Danc
ing Town or Fiddler's Green, as the
sailermen call it. In time he becomes
master of bis own trading bhip and the
story of his jeumcylngs and the lands
and peoples he comes te knew Is full of
the meA bewildering richness and color.
However, the real theme lies deeper
than mere surface enchantment. "In
his boyhood he had known the wonder
of life. In youth he had known there
existed sordid tragedy. In young man
hood passion hnd crnshed like light
ning " and at length when he is
beginning te be an old man his wife
nays te him, "I knew three things
Here is this dim room, with the red of
the fire turning te a gentle yellow
I knew that kindly Ced lives, thnt I
love you, Shane, and thut we shall net
die.
In short, Mr. Byrne knows that there
Is a poignant beauty in the adventures
of the soul ns well as in the romance
of strange lands. In the accepted sense
of the word Mr. Byrne is certainly net
a realist, but he comes very close te life
and admirably succeeds in his effort te
"capture the elusive, unbearable nehe
that is the mainspring of humanity."
Terhaps because he writes net only
about facts, but about dreams.
AN UNTAMED BUCKSKIN

The Chronicles of Queen Make
a Worthwhile Animal Story
Once in a blue moon f-eme Inspired
author writes an "animal btery" that
is worth while. This is net meant te
Include the liibterlcul or zoological type
of Roberts or Bull or Terhune, but
n story that can weave comedy and
pathos into the everyday life of a
dumb brute. Herace Mvcrlght, with
his usual enthusiasm, has proclaimed
David Grew's "Beyond Repe nid
Fence" ns the best nnimitl story since
Jack Londen's "Call of the Wild."
And here Mr. Livcright is net over
stating, although I1I1 firm, Benl &
Llverlght are the publisher.
In ninny respects Mr. Grew has
passed the heights set by the late
author of "Jehn Barleycorn" in his
story of the life and adventures of
Queen, an untnmed llttle buckskin of
the then limitless prairies.
Much of the story is taken up In
telling of Queen's long fight te keen
nway from the domination of her arch
enemy, man. Just why she feels this
n version te her two -legged fee is set
out in a succinct mm convincing man
ner, tind when Mr. Grew portrays the
finnl eanture of CJiiccn there is a bob
of svmnathv from the reader.
It is in this "breaking In" that
human1 muke their only appearance In
the story and Mr. Grew shows tell
ingly the lnck of thought with which
they inflict upon dumb brutes.
"Jleyend Hone ana ionce is wertn

its subject matter and its treatment.
ASPECTS OF MODERN
BIOLOGY CONSIDERED
Te the valuable series of "Mone
graphs en Experimental Biology" has
been added "Injury, Recovery nnd
Death" (J. B. I.Ippincett company),
The author Is W. J. V. Osterhout.
professor of botany nt Harvard Uni
versity, nnd in this volume be endenvera
te treat certain aspects of biology ac
cording te the method of the exact sci
ences. His volume, he points out, is
confined in its treatment te certain
fundamental problems which he has
studied quantitatively."
Dr. Osterhout's researches nnd stud
ies of the preblcnw hne led te a theory
of some ntpeclh of iniury, reeeveiy and
death, as well as of antagonism nnd
permenbility. He states that behavior
of organisms studied rn'iy in these re
spects be predicted with a satisfactory
degree of accuracy by means of the
equations which he has developed te
expren his theory in mathematical
form.
While this is n book for the special
ist, It discusses its matter in clear lan
guage and should prove a useful sum
mation of certain aspects of biology,
in the modern sense, for general renders
who wish te keep informed of the latest
Ideas In science.
A Little-Known Secretary
One of the effects of 'Tarty Battles
of the Jacksen Period," by Claude G
Bewers, published by Houghten Mif
flin Cempnny, is te bring into nromi nremi
nent relief former Secretary eP State
Jehn Forsyth, who bus beceme dim en
the pages of history. The fact that
Forsyth was the minister in Madrid
who negotiated the purchase of Flerida,
was for several years considered the
most able debater In the .Senate, pre
vented Georgia from going with Seuth
Carolina Inte the nullification move
mint, directed the affairs of (lie Stnte
Department through the France-American
crisis, niul served for six years
as Secretary of State, U little known.
In the preparation of his work Mr.

portfolio in which lie carried his papers
te the palace of Ferdinand in Madrid
while negotiating for Flerida and a
number of letters written by him In th
twenties and thirties.
A BACHELOR'S JOB
Ferman In 'The Man Who Lived
in a Shee' Telia Hew He
Rese te It
Transformation of a rather dreamy
and colorless life, thnt of a bachelor
scholar and bibliophile, into one of
vivid realization of personal responsi
bility and the imperative need of
mingling in the affairs et the world,
gives Henry James Ferman oppor
tunity for the telling of a whimsical
story, which he docs in a delightfully
whimsical manner in a novel he calls
"The Man Who Lived in a Shoe"
(Little, Brown & Ce.)
In autegraphical form, that is, In
n sort of intermittent diary, Randelph
Byrd, literary recluse, narrates the up--set
caused lnhls sclf-ccntcred exist
ence by bis only sister's death. The
iiruntlen of the lattcr's three little
children, two boys and a girl, Inte his
apartments, is the' cause of the meta
morphosis of an erudite young book
work into a real human being nnd one
whose inborn romantic nature is fully,
theush nt first unconsciously, devel
eped through contact with the little
mowers nciper suppuea 10 me
harassed young bachelor by an orphans'
home.
That's where the romance begins. It
would be unfair te the render te tell
in advance Jist hew it ends. The
"villain" part of this charming life
drama is supplied by the husband of
the schelnr's bister, who, having de
serted her sevcrnl yenrs before the be
ginning of the story, returns Just in
time te make trouble in the household
of the transformed bookworm and also
te prove the mettle of the man sud
denly catapulted from the snug com
panienship of his beloved volumes inf
tne pest or overseeing ana canng ier
bis infant nephews and niece and their
scarcely elder "mother's helper."
Randelph Byrd's first essay into the
DusmesH world is net n snming success,
but he has n certain obstinacy of tem
perament, for all his erudition, thnt will
plensc the red-blooded men renders of
"The Man Who Lived in a Shee," and
at the same time win the approbation of
women who delight in Just the sort of
ebstlnncy that is an outstanding feature
of the character of Mr. Ferman's en
gaging, if whimsical, here.
THE SPEAKABLE TURK
Zia Bey Says Something in
"Speaking of the Turks"
Few voices, cither of interest or au
thority, have been raised te give the
"lde of the Turk In the Near Knst
maelstrom. Therefore the Unspeakable
Turk has become a fixed figure in the
general mind. It is the Otteman's side
of his home life, of his ideals and of
what he terms his persecution by Chris
tinn peoples, thnt Mufty-Znde K. Zia
Bey has written in "Speaking of the
Turks" (Dufflcld Company).
This Turk, the son of a former Turk
ish Ambassador te the Court of St.
James, appenrs rather in the role of a
protagonist than of n propagandist.
His little volume would be noteworthy
as a striking picture of Oriental life,
even with the accepted motive, one
which Zia Bey makes no effort te con
ceal. Ills argument is that the Turks
are net ns block as they have been
painted ; thnt much of the gqre of mas
sacres has been manufactured by self
seeking relief workers nnd thnt as far
as relief Itself gees, the Turks have
been permitted te suffer misery untold
without aid, even as compared te the
admitted tribulations of the Greeks nnd
Armenians.
Fer the Greeks, Armenians nnd
Levantines, Zia Bey has little or no
use. His premise is that the Turks
want te mnke progress, that thev are
grndually accepting "westernization,"
but thnt it must be grndual and net
enforced. However, little of political
argumentation mnrks the book and
there its' chief beauty lies.
The author unrratics his return te
Constantinople, after two j ears' ab
sence, with his bride, nn American girl
from New Orleans. He pictures the
beauty of Constantinople ns it was re
vealed te him and shown te her for
the first time. Te Stnmbeul, te Pera,
at Ercnkuey they go and the home life
of the high caste Turk is revealed.
The harem is shown, net as a place of
debauchery but as the real gatherinp
nlnee of the fumily clan.
The Turk Is certainly net lily white.
But he deserves a hearing and he hardly
could find a mere nersunslve or inter
esting minstrel than this author. Inci
dentally Zia Bey makes n plea for tome
American novelist of attainments te co
te Turkey, imbibe its atmosphere, learn
us customs ana men give us message
te this country, as Leti did in France.

OLD FICTION FRIENDS

The author who attempts te ram a

Important has lest half the battle
before he Bpeils the first Inch of his

White has a different Idea. His tongue
is in his cheek when be starts out and
ns he blithely unfolds his little story
he has his render galloping gaily along,
chuckling nt thev worthwhile humor,
recognizing friendly characters In
every chapter. And then, just when
every one is in n complacent mood Mr.
White turns the spigot of philosophy
but be gently thnt the stream of geed
advice docs net clog the creek of
enjoyment.
This is his treatment in "On Tip
Tee" (Deran), which is a slightly dif
ferent story, different in that it has
nil the time-tried attributes of the
erdlnarv remnnce the Beautiful Girl
the Here who can de no wrong
the Grouchy Parent the Villnin and
the Comedy Butler whose heart is
True as Geld. Net forgetting the
dogs, the Here Deg, nnd the snapping,
sniveling puppy, who turns out all right

The Here comes te the rescue of the
Benutiful Heroine, her Dad and the
Villain in a California weeds. Mr.
Here proves te be the right mnn in
the right place nnd gets the party out
of lets of scrapes. He is an inventor
as well nnd has a chance te make

Of course the reader knows nnd se

te the author te let any one In en his
