BOOK REVIEWS
SOME RECENT FICTION.
PICKETT'S GAP. Ify Homer Greene.
New York: The Mu.cmlll.in company.
A charming character study suggest
ed by the litigation which recently
found its way Into the Wayne county
t'ourts growing out ot the proposed
construction of a new coal road to tide
water. Ahner Pickett, the old man In
the story, is a kind-hearted but austere
old.-fashloned fanner whose farm, with
its little cemetery lying right in a gap
between the mountains, is directly in
lino of survpy of the lnonosi-d railroad.
Two railroad companies are seeking to
make their first setting of stakes. The
old man is opposed violently to trespass
upon his cemetery and on gang of
surveyors runs its lim illreetjy through
that plot of hallowed grountf, where
upon Abner's grandson, Dannie, at mid
night, pulls up the offending stakes.
The complications which ensue fiom
this not, performed In Innocence of its
law-breaking character, and the play
which they have, upon the principals
in the story combine, in .Mr. Greene's
.Mclllful hands, to furnish iorth a very
loadable volume. One droll ruial phil
osopher, Gabriel, who appears in the
narrative as a relief from the sombre
ness of Abner's unyielding make-un.
threads It with inieimlttent gleams of
genuine humor ns truly native and of
the soil as anything in David Ilaruin.
Gabriel, the "steady hired man," whose
name was not Gabriel, but who came
to bo called that because of a big tin
horn which lie used In calling cattle,
had a silent partner In philosophy, one
mythical Isra'l I'ldgln, whose reputed
payings stood him In good stead in
times of stress, as for example:
"Don't tell what you don't know jes'
because- It's easy," ez of lsra'l Pidgin
uso to pay.
"It takes longer for a win'inll to grow
up with new timber 'an It does to heal up
a fiim'ly fjtiai-rol."
"Blood's thicker'!! water; an' yo can't
thin It by stlriln' it up."
"A full stummlek is twin brollicr to a
big heart,"
. "Discretion Is the better part, p' valor
when they's a job to lou,"
"The bigger the barrel, tho bigger tlio
battle."
"Kf yo don't know a tiling, better lot
somebody elto tell H."
"Yo can't closii up a crack by ham
merln' a wedgo In it."
The book Is capitally Illustrated.

Truly ii madcap ! the strenuous

Lovers of mediaeval romance, full of
murder, Intrigue, the duello and knight
errantry in general, with brigands and
beautiful damsels and nunneries thrown
in, will And In this story enough to
plea them. It is a tale of Italy dur

its atmosphere is close with hints -of
poison, dagger and foulness, though
hero and heroine win their way to
happiness notwithstanding tho obstacles
laid In front of them.

company.
While In a sense this Is one of the
class of books sometimes spoken of
disparagingly as "Sunday school nov
els," it jeally, from a literary stand
point, deserves higher rank. It teaches
morals, It is true, and teaches them
vividly; but the characters in tho story
are natural and the art of tho story
teller is not stilted. In brief, tho theme
or tho story is tho Immense dllllculty
confronting tho rich man who honestly
wants to use his money for tho best
Interest of humanity. The tnlo Is that
of a young man who had been educat
ed carefully by his guardian to bo tho
custodian of a fortune which, at the
time, he did not know he possessed.
When tie knowledge of his wealth nnd
responsibility comes to him tho young
man strives to administer them righte
ously, and the book describes and pic
tures his many temptations to fall Into
mere selfish Indulgence. Two women,
ono of whom ho marries, do their best
to deprave him, but for the honor of
her sex airs, Klngsley causes tho wifo
In tho last chapter to experience a re

I.OVI3 AND TIID SOUL Ill'NTRRS. lly
John Oliver Hobbes (Mrs, Cralglu),
New Yoik Funk & Wagnalls company.
Mrs. Cralglo Is a master of epigram
and repartee; the dialogue In her nov
els Is always brllltunt and dashing,
She is not fettered by conventionali
ties; the world Is her oyster and she
throws tho shells around regardless.
Rut this particular novel defies nnn.
Iy6ls. It is a study In psychology re
volving around a titled libertine who
mistakes sensuousness for love; an ec
centric but subteranneanly passionate
and worldly wise secretary, whoso pas
sion crosses with that of his prince,
and a composed half English, half
American girl, the objecL of their gal
lantries. Other characters appear for
example, a peculiarly vulgar Yankee
mlllionaiie living In open disrepute
with an equally vulgar American ad
venturess, not his wife. In fact, Mrs.
Oraigie, though herself American born,
seems delighted to give her native land
the worst of it. Rut the chief charm
of the book is the cleverness of its dia
logue. It is indescribable.
CHRISTMAS NUMBERS.
The opening feature of the Clitls-i-mas
issue of Collier's Weekly is n story
by Kipling, entitled "The Captive." It
li a South African war story, narrated
In the first person singular by an
American ar prisoner: and if you
have any doubt as to Kipling's grasp
on Anieiic.m slang, read it and bo con
vinced. A Dooley discourse upon tho
peculiarities of women Is the best thing
that Peter Dunne has done to date.
Finally, th illustrations, in black and
white ami in color.-, uie gorgeous.
The Christmas- number of Harper's
Weekly is the most ambitious under
taking that periodical has yet made.
It comprises 100 pages, embodying
short stories by .Mark Twain, Hamlin
Garland, Josephine Daskam, Roy .Gil
son, Morgan Robertson, Charles R.
Loomls. Kathryn Jnrboo, Edward Holt
wood, Van TaF.se! Sutphen, Katharine
Perry, Albert Uigelow Palue, Elizabeth

nown; poems by William D. llowells,
John Kendrlck Bangs, Guy Wetmore
Carry 1 and Louise Morgan Sill; nnd
Christmas sketches by John Kendrlck
Bangs, E. S. Martin and Theodore

mechanical execution the number Is a
dream.
LITERARY NOTI.'S,
In u gionp of nrtioles written lor tho
book number of the Outlook, Owen Wis
ter. Brainier Matthews, Hamlin Garland,
Col. T. W. IIIgKlnson, Edward Dowdon,
Dr. Edwaid Everett Hale, and suveinl
othor authors discuss tho rather nove!
question, What ten books or parts of
Ixioks aio most characteristic, of American
Ufa and genius? Theio Is a considerably
divergence of opinion. Two lints may bo
given us together fairly representative.
Cotonol lligglnsnn's includes Cowpcr's
"Pioneer's," Lowell's "fligiow Papers,"
Hawthorne's "Walden." Whlttier's
"Snowbound," Mrs. Slowo's "Undo
Tom's Cabin," Longfellow's "Hiawatha,"
Whitman's "Lcuvea of Grass," Helen
Keller's "Story of My Life" Mr. Owen
WIstcr sums up his Impiu.sslon as follows:
Farewell Address, Washington; fiuttjs
burg Addrebs, Lincoln; Phi Batu Kappa,
Address, Lmerson; "Tho Scarlet Letter,"
Huwthorno; "When Lilacs Last in tho
Dooiyard Bloom d," Whitman; "Huckle
berry Finn," Murk Twain; "Blglow
Papers." Lowell; "Tennessee's Partner,"
Bret Harte; Autobiography, Grant; and
for tho tenth, In splto of proximity, I will
name "Mr, Dooley," whoso sane, profound
luclsivenesa miiht delicti t tho heart of
I'nclo Sam as much as did once tho "Blg
