Bet .loncpli P. Lincoln nn Piipp Port

tanco" (Applclonn) Ik ii exception
to tho rule. It Ift us pIoaK.int n book
an tho reader can llnd to take nway
on his vacation In a season in which
cheerful tales have not . been very
abundant. There are. people, In It
ho will be, Blad to meet, the heroine,
jovial Cap'n Obed, tho servant girl,
who may have been borrowed from
Frank R. Stockton, and sundry cccen
tries Indigenous to tho soil. Tho
house Is attractive; In It and In many
bits of description Mr. Lincoln shows
the artist's sense: the mystery Is
Ingenious enough to Induce n mildly
creepy feeling In spite of tho conviction
that thern Is a matter of fact explana
tion. Moreover, Mr. Lincoln has come
pretty near to writing a real long
story, an achievement for a writer
of short tales; he weaves In only two
short stories, both closely connected
with his plot, and the one about tho
mldnlcht elopement Is capital.
Judged as "a novel, however, "Thanlc
ful's Inheritance" has faults which we
hope tho author will surmount In
future tales. After a brilliant open
ing It drags, tho people remain prac
tically Inactive merely to . let tlmo
pass by. Thankful Is an unusually
capable woman, so that tho unbusi
nesslike character of tho scrape she
get Into Is irritating; It calls for
somo pervcrscness on her part to
create tho mess from which Bh Is
to bo extricated. Tho young man and
tho young woman are rather wooden,
they are rather abstract lovers, but
their quarrel Is a brilliant and truth
ful bit of fun and the youth has suf
ficient self-restraint not to say "I
told you so" when his tlmo comes.
It seems absurd to manufacture so
much melodramatic claptrap to
solvo Thankful's difficulties, when
some simple business arrangement
would have sufficed and would have
been more In harmony with tho ways
of Cape Cod; but then the story would
not have been so funny, perhaps, and
Mr. Lincoln would have missed va
rious little Jabs at the ways of women.
We could do with a little less of the
shiftless youth and his nagging sis
ter, though the elopement redeems
her. and seo no need for the small
boy and the vagabond brother. It
seems ungracious to pick flaws In a
simple and entertaining tale, but Mr.
Lincoln shows here that he has more
serious ambitions and we hope he will
follow them.
SOME NEW FICTION.
A very young man and a very young
girl, he with the ambition to write
and she to paint, marry very Improvl
dently In Madge Mears's "The Jealous
Goddess" (John Lano Company).
Both spell art with a capital A and It
takes a lot of trouble before they find
out that they lovo each other at tho
end. The outlook on life and art la
very youthful, which gives a certain
charm to tho book and excuses somo
absurdities. There Is a disreputable
but kindly old father who Is good In
a stagey way. The youth Is taken up
by a popular and proper actress who
produces his plays,, which tho censor
ship bans. Tho unlucky girl, on tho
other hand, finds that the responsibili
ties of motherhood Interfere with her
career. Tho two are destitute of pa
rental feeling and are glad to dispose
of their baby to people who care for
children. The author has picked up
somewhere the Idea that men nor
mally live on women and all her men
of artistic temperament sponge on
tome woman or other shamelessly.
They make up for It by their contempt
for respectable phlllstlnes.
It Is a romance of baseball, written
largely In the baseball dialect, that W.
H. M. Ferguson offers In "A Man's
Code" (G, W. Dillingham Company).
A chivalrous shortstop Is accused of
sel'lng a game by a dastardly sporting
reporter and a strong case Is made
out against him. His conduct there
after leads him Into more difficulties.
Nevertheless he meets the right girl
and with her assistance gets on his
feel again, secures the evidence of his
Innocence nnd confutes his foe. The
tale Is abundantly exciting.
Though decidedly amateurish, the
plot of an Ingenious rlitectlve story has
been constructed skilfully by Iluth
Harl In "Lord Strathmore's Ruby"
(Alb.ert H. King, Chicago). The beginning--shows
some acquaintance with
the vagaries of a drunkrn mind, the
crime Is complicated anil tho solution
puzzling, and the htory 13 told with
directness. Tho people, however, he
have with singular disregard of tho
ordinary rules of society; rirrlmps not
much more so than happens In Mime
dcteetivo tnles by siutlir.rs of repute.
The author knows how to set up th
dkeleton, she must learn now how to
put flet-h on It.
Art author of far greater experience,
William I.e Qiipiix, miikox a sud moss
with a war romance In "At the .sign
of the Sword" i Silly anil Klelntcieh,
New York). This Is a ennfui-eil Im.k'e

deals also with somo questions that
have arisen since this war broke out.
All these matters, of course, rest at
law on the sr.me Insecure foundations
as "International law," but It Is neces
sary to know at least what has been
done about them In the past and what
Is deemed right at presentr this In
formation is supplied very effectively
in this volume.
In the useful "Pages dUlstoIre"
scries (Berger-Ievrault. Paris) we
have another volume of "Lee Com
muniques Ofllclels" for April, 191B, and
an account of "Les Campagnes do
1914," by a military critic who signs
himself "Champaubert." An English
translation of "Tho Martyred Towns,"
lectures by Andre Michel. Is Issued
by Flon-Nourrtt, Paris.
The pretence of mystery about mat
ters that are generally known Is tho
main characteristic of Dr. Armgaard
Karl Graves's "The Secrets of the
Hohenzollerns" (McBrlde. Nast and
Company, New York). The tone Is
that of a detective story and the Im
pression or fiction Is heightened by
the appearance of a ubiquitous bdv:
a few court scandals are repeated and
many proper names are used. The
matters about which the author rro-
fessea to have secret Information aro
of no great importance or Interest:
ho would have done tetter If ho had
made his story pure fiction.
Tho letters that make un the cruel
story of "Aunt Sarah and tho War"
(O. P. Putnam's Sons) serve to show
how difficult It la to make the Eng.
llsh mind .understand what war means.
They also repeat the everyday tale
A DIVA'S REBELLION
AGAINST THE CHURCH
Robert Hugh Benson's story of
"Loneliness" (Dodd, Mead and Com
pany) tells of a young woman's re
bellion against the discipline of the
CAthollo Church. In the opening
chapter we have the hero and heroine
out deer stalking in Scotland. Mnx
Merlval, son of Lord Merival, the Lon
don banker, handed the telescope to
Marion Tenterden, the opera singer.
A mile away across the heather she
saw the stag they were after. "There
ho lay, looking his last, maybe, on those
glorious glens, those turquoise lochs
lying like little pavements In the
ravines." Marlon felt a pity for the
hunted creature. "What a shame It
seems!" she whispered, but her com
panion for response merely "smiled
pleasantly, wrinkling up his sunburnt
noso and eyes." At the last of the
pursuit when Max fired and tho stag
fell, "You're you're a ripper. Miss
Tenterden," tho young man said. The
heroine was slight of llgure, not
pretty, but with largo violet eyes.
The story relates how tho charm of
Marlon gradually took hold of Max.
His first apprehension of It was
through tho medium of the ear. At
tea one evening In his father's Park
Lane house "he had handed her bread
and hotter, he remembered, and had
presently made an excuse to get
away." It was only "ns ho had been
crossing the hall half an hour later"
that "ho had stopped to listen to n
voice pealing from the drawing room
overhead, a voice of extraordinary
freslinesi and force," and "had gono
up stairs at that, Just In time to rind
the girl putting her mimic together, a
little flushed and smiling, with her eyes
tremendously nllve." The htory relates
with skill the quick triumph of Marlon
in opera. It was her fortune, to as.
ceml ory speedily to those dazzling
heights of awful superemlnenco that
are attained only by tho greatest of
the fla-iKhters anil suns of song.
.Marion's Interview with Father
I'Yankllti Is n notable part of the
story. Father Franklin was a mem
ber of the .lisult house in .Mount
street In London, and it was thero
tli.it the meeting took place. If .Ma
lum was a strongly determined young
vntiian when she called, It Is not to
be tlmiiitf.il that tli other party to tho
interview had considerable, powers of
les-'staiico. The story says: "Father
Franklin was a great ladles' confessor,
which means that he cniild be harder

He was as certain when ho was cer
tain and as persistent and logical,
and in a sense as compelling, too, as
a fugue by Bach." Father Franklin
set forth very clearly for Marlon tho
rules of the Catholic Church regard
ing marriage. She objected to them.
The discussion that followed was vig
orous. Mgr. Benson relates Just what
was said on both sides,
Marlon was "furiously nngry" when
she drove away from Mount street
"Who else but a Catholic priest would
dare to say such things?" Sho felt
contempt. That limping little man in
a shiny gown, with a blue chin! Sho
felt better on coming to Covent Gar
den. As she sat In her car In front
of the opera house the manager came
running out bareheaded. He Informed
her that bouquets had arrived; Sir
Robert Malnwarlng had sent one; also
tho Princess Margaret had telephoned
again for the royal box. "Ah," slid
Marlon, "It's her fourth time, Isn't
it?" She felt much better. A man
who was passing stopped and removed
his hat: it seemed really an act of
sincere reverence. How delightful It
all was! Flower?, bared hoods, a
Princess making a habit of coming to
hear her! And that shabby llttlo fig
ure of a short time before. Why, he
had shrunk, he was smaller than ever.
What did his opinions matter? "They
were nnly his opinions after nil, nnd
of a few more like him." And the
man who had taken off his hat had
stood stock still and kept It off until
sho had driven away, So Marlon re
lleoted as she spun homewnrd through
the park.

THE HOK. MI?S ROBERT
(CDITM HCKWICTTVTOWEH!)
kUTMOre Of ' PATRICIA "
GRIM PICTURES
FROM A JAIL
IN SIBERIA
It will not surprise those who have
read much of Dostoevsky to find that
his account of prison 11 fo In Siberia,
'The House of the Dead,"' translated
by Constance Oaxnott (the Macmlllan
Company), contains plenty of curious
and disturbing detail. These prison
ers who aro paraded for us, who may
be said to be turned Inside out for
us, are so strange a lot that we
should think our present day alienists
would have no trouble at all In pro
nouncing them all quite road.
The book purports to be written by
"a man who had been a gentleman and
landowner" and "had afterward be
come a convict In the second division
for the murder of his wife." He was
ten years In prison. When his term
was ended he led a retired life as a
teacher of children In a small town,
and when he died he left the manu
script which makes this peculiar and
sombre tale.
After a description of the prison to
which this offender was sent we read
many things of the 250 convicts It con
tained. One of thm was Baklushln,
who had murdered a German shop
keeper. He went Into the shop and
said: "Ah, you scarecrow, you sau
sage saterl Would you like me to
shoot you with my pistol?" Tho Ger
man did not believe that he was In
earnest. Ho sold: "I beg you as an
honorable man to drop your Joke at
once and I do not fear you." Sold
Baklushln: "That's a lie, you do I"
More was said, until at tho lost.
"Well, there then, sausage!" cried
Baklushln. and pulled tho trigger.
Baklushln tells tho story. In his own
language In relating the climax, "I
went bang and ho rolled off his chair.
Tho women screamed." Two women
were present, Lulse nnd her aunt, both
laundresses. Baklushln, who was a
soldier, was enamoured of Lulse. but
it had been decided that It would be
more to her advantage to marry the
shopkeeper. This may be called ac
cordingly a homicide of passion.
Shlskov was another of the prison
ers. It is a surprising tale that Is
told of him. "Well, I began beating
her. I beat her, my lad, bent her
for two hours, till I couldn't stand
up. She didn't get up from her bed
for three weeks." That Is Shlskov
telling how he beat Akulka, his wife.
The overflowing detail of his story' 1
dreadful. Finally he took Akulka out
Into the forest to kill her. "I got
out the cart without saying a word.
As you go out of our town there's a
plno forest that stretches for ten
miles, and beyond the forest was the
land we rented. When we had gone
two miles I stopped the horse. 'Get
out, Akulka,' .a!d I; 'your end has
come,' She looked at me; she was
scared. She stood up before me; she
did not speak. 'I am sick of you,"
says I; 'say your prayers!' And then
1 snntched her by tho hair" but the
detail Is too shocking to be quoted.
When Shlskov had finished his story
another of the convicts related that
ho had onco beaten his wife with a
folded hrldle until she had cried nut
that she would wash his feet and
drink the water.
The prison was a dreadful place,
nnd wo are pretty sure that the reader
on closing the book will o glnd
nt getting out of It.
