'A Spirit in Prison"
Er T.obert Hichea*. axithf* of "The Call of
Yh«> Blood." *tr. Published by Haipw &
Bros.. New York and London. Price $1.50.
It takes 663 pages to tell about "A
•plrlt in Prison.", and then you have
lot the whole story. This is only the
\u25a0equel. All the trouble began in "The
Jail of the Blood," and if that has not
jeen read, much of this book will not
mly not be enjoyed, but scarcely un
ierstood. In barest outline the story
it 'The Call of the Blood" was this:
\. young Frenchman, with Sicilian
nloo'd in him, takes his English bride to
Sicily to spend the honeymoon. This
Drief period Is scarcely spent when the
aride goes to Africa alone to nurse a
sick friend, -a. man. During her absence
the husband makes love to a peasant
girlj whose father kills the betrayer on
:he eve of the wife's return. * The wife
,s heartbroken and retires to a small
sland In the bay. Just outside of Naples.
She knows nothing of his treachery
md has only a noble grief for hlimem
jry. Sixteen years elapse. Hermione
Delarey, the widow, has a posthumous
laughter, and her* life is spent in love
md care for the child.
"A Spirit in Prison" opens where
I'ere, this daughter, is 16. The fruit
>f the love affair -with the peasant girl
s a son, also born after the father's
leath, and almost the same age as the
laughter. He and Vere meet and become
interested In each other. These
:vro young people, with all their charm,
ire. not the hero and heroine of "A
Spirit In Prison." Rather Is Herßfiione.
now grown middle aged, never beauti
ful, turned morbid, emotional and un
reasonable. Its heroine; and for a hero
her friend whom she nursed In Africa,
Emlle Artels.
Artels kjiow* the whole tragic story
of the husband's death, and has
woven an elaborate tissue of lies
to protect his friend, Hermione. from
disillusionment. An old and faithful
Mrvaat, Gaspare, also knows the story,
but he would be cut in plecea before he
would let Hermione know. All the ele
ments for a tragedy are there, but It is
escaped. RuSo, the peasant lad, who
also has never seen his father, grows
tip to look very like him. A. word here
and there* a look now and then, and
suddenly poof Hermione knows the
secret her friends have so carefully
kept from her. Instead of appreciating
their friendship and knowing that only
their love for her prompted the action,
che turns on Artols and nearly rends
ht"i In her fury of hat a. The only solu
tion poasfbje follows. They have been
sentlmentsj without quite knowing It
all their ttves about each other, and
finally find consolation. In their love.
The lor* chapter, which begins on the
620 th pare, Js the best bit of writing
In tho book. The scene Is unlike any
ether remembered love setting. It is
a reined palaoe beside the sea, haunted,
with com* of Its chambers sea washed.
Hermione hides herself In a pitch dark
room. Artels follows her and talks to
her. He can not see his hand before
his face, but he feeLs her presence, and
he talks and talks and talks and tells
his 'whole story and pleads with her.
After a long time she answers, and the
strongest scene of the book takes place.
No one can deny the beauty of Mr.
Hlchens' writing. He is a poet, and his
•words are always perfectly chosen.
The one criticism of this book which
can not be refuted is that It Is too long,
much too long. The descriptive parts
ere as full of color as are those of
*The Garden of Allah," and the admir
ers of that book will find much to ad
mire in this one. The story Is hardly
satisfying, for though the middle aged
lovers are left quite happily married,
the young people are not so well off.
Ruffo and Vere are enjoying each
others- society, but as yet no word ol
lov« is spoken, and they are In com
plete ignorance of the relationship ex
isting between them. One can not but
dread that Mr. Hlchens may think it
necessary to write nearly 700 pages
more and finish their story for them.
The title of the book is taken from the
old saying: "The spirit that resteth
upon a He Is a spirit in prison," and it
is not until Hermione knows the truth
that her spirit is free from its prison.

"The Passer-By"
Br Prince Pierre Troubettkoy. Published by
Doubled*?, P*je & Co., New York. Price
RMKt
The personality of the author of
this new novel will interest American
readers, for he is the husband of Amelle
Rrves, who made herself talked
about, if not genuinely famous, from
one end of the country to the other.
Prince Troubetzkoy was born In Italy
of a Russian father and an American
mother. M- 9 years of age he painted
a portrait of himself which was ac
ce'ptcd by a gallery In Milan. At the
age of 30 he went to London incognita
to see •what he could accomplish on
his own merits. H« painted the por
traits of many <l«tingniEhed , persons
including Gladstone, the viceroy ol
Ir.dla, Lady Gar rod. Lady Anglesey anc
'c.hers. That the prince is a bettei
painter than a novelist Is seen by i
perusal of his book, which, while con
taining some bits of interest, is ama
teurish and much of it badly written
The story is of a fashionable youn*
married woman, Angela Moore of Xew
Tork. She sees, little of her husband
who is a broker burled In Wall street
most of the time, and her life is de
voted to society. She has no children ,
and is bored to extinction by the empti
ness of her life. A young Englishman
in the diplomatic service falls in
love with her. His worship is
poetical and she responds with all
her heart to his appeal. She sees
nothing of his Belflshness ana
does not for a moment comprehend
what an "affair" in the foreign sonse .
means. , She thinks love means that
she must get a dlv,orce and elope with
her affinity. The extraordinary com-,
plications which "follow, some of them
suggestively psychological, give the
author an' excellent opportunity to tell ,
what be has observed of New York
society. All sorts of revelations of
that particular society's emptiness have
*>een made in novels before and no
new or interesting light is thrown on
the subject. So often in little things/
an author shows a carelessness In ob
servation, or an unfamlliarity with a
subject or phase of life.' This occurs
In "The Passer-By" when the author
pictures a scene between a trained
nurse and one of thS* characters In the 1
story. He makes the nurse talk like ]
an uneducated slum dweller. Reading t
about a ball In the paper, she says 1
to her patient: "Ain't you sorry you
ain't going?" Later on the patient '
reads her a sonnet .from a book of '
poems, and she says: "My! I call It a i
corker!" and she Is described as being i
unable to understand It at all and 1
thinks he has "a temperature" because :
he Is enthusiastic about the beauty !
of the sonnet. - . *\!
Unlike most of the books dealing i
with the various phases of the affinity
business and illicit love In general, this i
one ends quite satisfactorily. The book
Is much too long, too many pages being
given to rath6r dreary and unedifying
sejf-communings on the part of the
dissatisfied wife. ,
The book contains a frontispiece in
color of the heroine, Angela • Moore,
painted by the author's wife, Amelle
"The Whispering Man"
By Henry Kltchell Webster, author of "Roger
Drake," etc.. Joint author of "Calniaet 'X, "
etc Pobllshed by D. AppletonUk Co., New
York. Price $I.X).
If "The Whispering Man" only had
given some other title and were con
densed to a quarter of its length, it
would be a great success. The prob
lem is ingenious and carried to a suc
cessful climax, but too much unneces
sary detail Is given and the I reader
wearies Before he is half way through
the book.
The book opens with the mysterious
and almost uncanny murder of a fa
mous New -York physician, a roan who
has devoted himself to the study of
mental disease and especially the side
of it dealing with crime and criminals.
He has- : a ', reputation for probity not
equaled-in the country and Is already
one blather, great, alienists of America.
\u25a0 Almost -everybody in the book is un
der" suspicion -at one time or another.
The- assistant of the doctor, busy In
the next room, has a pretty hard time
of It; .his young and pretty wife is
under, strong suspicion; the young lady
engaged to his son also is in grave
danger,^ The plot Is excellent and , Its
unraveling is * well done, but the title
of' the book enables the reader to sus
pect the murderer long before he would
otherwise. . _^ \u0084• ' " J

One constantly hears of the great
work of Anna Douglas Sedgwick, but
each book of hers whloh appears in
America must. be. spoken of with a half
apologetic air. She is an: American hy
birth, but has lived- in 'England for
many years, and the scene of this storjr>
is laid in»England. " : .^-' r ;
The heroine, . Amabel Channlce,- Js
the daughter of a country dean, left.- ah

London. She has a valuable Inheritance
and at 18 is married to a man 11 years 1
her senior. He fs a typical . man of

poor. He has courted \her rather for

Is killed at once. \u25a0>" Just why Amabel
considers it necessary to tell her wholo

view with her husband, is not clear,
but Bhe does and fully expects him to •
leave her, too. He would have been
a. poor sort of a thing if he had and he
Soesn't. The .end of the book finds
mother and son clasped In each other's
arms. The reader' is, thankful for
that one ray' of light in so depressing
a story. It is as full of weeps and
heart breaking despair as "East Lynn,"
and would make as good a melodrama.

That Is the stage for Harold Blndloss 1
