"Jllcbard the Braxen" is an amusing tale. The
authors seem to have been captivated by a droll
Idea to have entered fully into Its spirit and
to have made a story out of it with light hearted
gase. To be sure, the idea Is not a new one.
TO* hero of this little romance is one more of
those Innumerable youths who have gone mas
querading in recent fiction, reserving the dis
r'.osCTe of the truth about themselves for that
fcaypy moment in which the heroine is ready to
bestow her hand and heart upon the right man.
But there is so much "go** about "Richard the
Brtzer" that we readily forgive the authors for
relying upon an ancient motive. They get a
great deal of fun out of It. Master Richard Is
th« ton of a Texan cattle king. The girl whose
life be saves and thereupon' resolves to marry
is the daughter of his father's business rival.
The two families are suddenly at daggers drawn,
tad it is obvious that the love making of Rich
art is bound to be slow. Fortunately, however,
he has the opportunity to enter the household
eJ his father's foe In the guise of a British
nobleman, and though the reader knows per
fectly well how it is all going to turn out, affairs
tie kept enveloped in mystery for the actors In
the comedy, and the reader looks on with a
chuckle. The plot, In spite of its entanglements,
moves - quickly enough toward Its pleasant
f'lmax. Th? 3 Is. In a word, a cheerful trifle,
very welcome just at the moment when the dull
season in the publishing world is coming to an
end and the march of the autumn books is
V*inninp\
TTfth nil Ha variety of Incident, its mystery
tea its Intricacy of plot. Mr. Forman's latest
novel is one of those tales which the reader
feel? ire, afttr all, really only beginnine when
the author cuts them short. The situation that
forte* tfc* climax in this instance is rearh«"l
taglilma'.f-iy enough, and caps the story bo far
M told. But what the life of the hero and
heroine is likely to be. In view of the disclosures
of that situation, opens up a problem which
mlgfct well form the subject of another novel
ouch better worth the t\riting. However, one
may be relieved to believe Mr. Forman will not
be moved to write it. The book tells of the
mjtterkms disappearance of a wealthy gentle
man of a morose, malicious and retiring disposi
tion, who has somehow acquired a young, beau
flffll and charming wife. She Is In love with
toother ir.an— a perfect paragon. The compil
ations which ensue, and which we are not
Jsstifle''! in revealing, could only occur between
two persons who were, as the author is at pains
to explain, totally devoid of a sense of humor.
Tte tale is terribly Intense without being in
u» least probable. Its moral Is apparently that
love, uue love, love devoid of any sense of
hoaor, net only condones but Justifies any
thing.
There Is much prattle about love in Miss
Corelli's novel, "The Treasure of Heaven," in
rhlch «re also flnd a rich man disguising himself
Ei»i strolling out Into the wide, wide world in
the hope that he may thus settle the problem of
existence. Apparently the masquerade motive
is epidemic just now. In '•Richard the Brazen"
U makes for gayety. Mr. Forman turns it to
soaiire purpose. In Miss Corelli's hands It
yields fustian. The hero of this book is a ven
erable millionaire whose heart Is nearly broken
because Love has not been added unto him.
This worries him dreadfully. Before the story
hae gone very far he has a serious talk with a
damsel to whom he lias been very kind. He
bonders v hat she would say If he asked her to
marry him. She confesses that nothing could
give her greater Joy. Whereupon he spurns poor
Lucy. ar»i points out that, if she had only had
th« good sense to repudiate his "absurd and
unnatural proposition." he would have made her
hit cole heiress. Naturally she Is inclined to
tear the old gentleman limb from limb. How
ever, he survives her wrath, and. putting on the
dothes of a tramp, goes to look for such happi
ness as a tramp may find on the English coun
trysia*. He finds it In solid chunks. The poor
•nd lowly are as kind to him as though they had
•feppei out of stained glass windows. To throw
ttielr goodness Into higher relief two wicked
noblemen are Introduced, travellers in a wicked
automobile. With the brutality of the worst
toys of the Roman Empire they slay a harmless
<"bild upon the highway and pursue their inal«
odorous course, not even looking behind to see
Whether or not they have left the infant welter
ing in its gore. But destiny Is at their heels.
The poor father of the mangled infant appears
upon the scene, convicts them of their guilt out
of their own mouths, and then Jabs the wickeder
of the noblemen In the throat with a clasp knife
until be miserably dies. Meanwhile our million
aire tramp looks on In anguish, and Is presently
Sled to find himself in the hands of a young
woman, who tenderly nurses him through the
illness brought on by the shock to hit nerves.
Ph<! is a sweet creature, this nurse, and. of
coarse, poor. So is her lover. Was there ever
»urn a chance for an unhappy millionaire? The
<me In this book secretly draws up a will leaving
'everything he possesses to his benefactress, and
then pathetically turns up his toes to the daisies.
Th's ought to be the climax, but Miss Corelli
know what «he is about. The heiress annoys
her lover excessively by being, all of a sudden.
fo absurdly prosperous. He talks to her with
positive asperity. That is enough for Mary.
Bhe flies to "a rocky platform overhanging the
see," and there "murmurs plaintively" before
she takes farewell of he;- Angus and her mill
ions. And what does Angus do at this thrilling
moment? Gentle reader, you may find out by
buying a copy of "The Treasure of Heaven,"
and you will get. Into the bargain, a frontispiece
portrait of the author.
A tale of Guelf and Ghibelline. of doughty
deeds and men at arms, of troubadours and jon
gleur*, of Saracens and a sorceress, of monks
and kings and dames of high degree— such is
the tale that Eleanor Alexander tells in "The
Lady of the Well." Th« volume gains its title
from the reflection beheld in a pool by the hero,
v.ho, N'arclssue-like, beholds mirrored there
beside hi* own features those of a beautiful
woman, who eludes him when he attempts to
view her In the flesh. Captured as a spy (which
be Incidentally is), he proves himself a true
trou iwJour by the ser.g he composes on the in
ciatfit Just described. Who the lady was and
hoy.- the hero came In time to win her ire learn
©n!y jifte-r going through many chapters of
lively ivd ventures ana misplaced love-making.
Thci litter %a* a sufficient sense of humor to
l»risnt her tale from becoming grotesque; she
••lies In a sprightly stylo and with a knowl
«*«• of Italian hlfcory that produces the effect,
at least, of atmosphere.
It to quite a different kind of well which Mr.
Atoms writes about In his very modern novel
or mystery, crime and anarchy. The "well" Is
a room, in an East Side saloon, which reaches
from the ground floor to the roof and is the
resort of a mixed company of ex-smugglers,
newspaper men, men about town, socialists, an
archists and labor leaders. The hero is a young
nan who was taken as a lad from an American
smuggling schooner in the West Indies by a
British revenue cutter, and who was adopted by
and became the heir of an English baronet.
oming to America, he discards his title, studies
law, devotes his talents to the defence of strik
ers, and falls in love with the daughter of a
wealthy manufacturer. In the "well." of which
he becomes a frequenter, two of his anarchist
mends and clients concoct a plot against the
life of the man whose son-in-law he aspires to
be. The complications which follow are of a
highly sensational order, and depend for their
interest more upon the author's ingenuity of
construction than upon any resemblance they
bear to actual life.
"The Pink Typhoon" is an automobile story,
which is best described by the overworked ad
jective "dainty." It tells of a series of rides
taken by a middle aged bachelor in company
with two children and the young woman who
has the care of them. Incidental to the descrip
tion of the scenery and the accidents which
befall the motor car (from which the tyro may
gain helpful suggestions as to the manage
ment of his new automobile), a placid love story
■is developed. The tale, such as it is. Is pleas
antly told, and will make an agreeable ham
mock companion for a summer afternoon.
Amos R. Wells admits that his story of a
"Transplanted Church" is only a fable, and its
moral is that the poor deserve and would wel
come as flue church accommodations as only
the wealthy can afford. The handsome edifice
belonging to a wealthy congregation la myste
riously transported at night to the slums, and
results in a tremendous social awakening.
The volume is a sermon preached in the
form of fiction, and its lesson is well brought
out. Mr. Wells having the good sense to recog
nize that the experiment which he relates would
be only partly successful, even if it were
approximately possible. A love story, not very
expertly handled, running through the ecclesi
astical incidents, gives the touch of romance
that Justifies the classification of the volume as a
I novel.

LETTERS TO A CHINESE OFFICIAL. Being a
Western View of Eastern Civilization. By \VIU
m»- ii n 5? Bryan. 16mo. pp. vill. 97. McClure.
Phillips & Co.
When Mr. G. L. Dickinson published, anony
mously some three years ago • his "Letters from
a Chinese Official," the book attracted some at
tention as a clever, and. in some respects, plaus
ible commentary on our modern life. The rise
of Japan has of late years prepared many of us
to look for great things In the East, and nof a
few individuals have developed an exaggerated
notion of the limitations of the West. Mr. Dick
inson's piquant little study, for example, has
been taken so seriously in some Quarters that
cooler critics have been moved to smile. It
seems to have made an excessively «Jeep im
pression upon Mr. Bryan, and his reply to it.
which has Just been published, suggests the
breaking of a butterfly upon a wheel. Writing
before he had learned, what every one now
knows, that the '"Chinese Official" is really an
English scholar, he argued with the supposititious
Oriental in most energetic mood. Nevertheless,
these pages are acceptable as embodying a kind
of confession of faith in admirable form.
'Sir. Bryan is a lucid writer. He knows what
he wants to say and he goes straight to the
point. His argumentative powers come out well
upon this occasion. He has no difficulty in
showing where Mr. Dickinson overrated Chi
nese civilization and underrated that of the
— there were, in&eed. no great difficulties
to be overcome — and the clearness and terseness
of his presentation of the matter demand appre
ciation. Perhaps the best of the eight chapters
in the book are those which relate to the China
man's boasted policy of isolation and to the
importance of labor saving machinery to the
best interests of mankind. In the one case
Mr. Bryan lays great stress on the fact that
"what the world needs more than anything else
is sympathy— sympathy between man and man,
sympathy between class and class, sympathy
between community and community, sympathy
between nation and nation." In commending
the labor saving machinery to the East he ad
vances his point after the following fashion:
If the invention of a labor saving machine is
hurtful, then China has not only sinned, but has
boasted of her sins, for she has plumed herself upon
being in advance of the West in several impqrtant
inventions, chief among which may be mentioned
the printing press. What m army of men might
have been employed copying the books published
each year and the magazines published each month,
and the newspapers published each day, but for the
Invention of movable type! Th«? only flaw in the
argument is that the books, magazines and papers
would not have existed to any great extent but for
the printing press. . . . The number or men en
gaged in transportation lias been increased rather
than diminished by the utilization of steam. But
why should the owner of a sailboat object to the
vessel propelled by Bream? The sail itself is a labor
saving machine, probably one of the first. Who
gave thfl sailors permission to dispense with a mul
titude of oarsmen and turn their work over to the
strong arms of Boreas? Why should the teamster
find fault with the locomotive? What moral right
had lie to enforce idleness upon a dozen men by
substituting a cunningly wrought wagon for their
strong backs? Even the wheelbarrow, which is om
nipresent in China. is a petty thief, stealing- oppor
tunity to work from those who but for the inventor
might be bearing its burdens. And what shall we
Bay of the pole, employed everywhere in the Orient,
which enables a workman to carry several buckets
or baskets when he might otherwise be making sev
eral trips with lighter burdens? If to minimize the
labor necessary for a given task is a sin, how can
your people hope to es:-ap« cersure? I saw them
digging up the ground with implements of iron
which had been fashioned for the express purpose
of supplementing the muscles of the framer; I saw
them cutting grain with sickles when more labor
might have been"V*mployed by breaking the straws
by hand; and, that the blame may not rest entirely
upon those who toil outdoors, let me remind you
that I saw Vims at work, relentlessly robbing those
who might have made jloth by Blower processes.
By what logic do you prov« that inventions were
good in so far as they nave been employed in
China and bad when they go a step further? Or
do you censure ail inventions alike and counsel a
return to the most primitive form of life where men
and women live like animals, wearing the garb that
nature gava them and scorning the use of tools?
The passage is characteristic. It contains
nothing new or brilliant, but it puts the point
in a sufficiently effective manner, taking tho
obvious advantage of the obvious openings
offered by Mr. Dickinson. In other chapters Mr.
Bryan treats of questions of government, of
home life, of International responsibilities and
of religion.
