Solomon. l l Randvar the Longbinltli. by Ottllie A Lljeu- crantr. i.u. jiarper & uromerF. sew York City. Scholars and poets tell us oi a beautiful dream of a white race colonizing the Atlantic Coast of this country lonjr before Columbus reached Its shores, and Norse records show that these colonists were Vikings. Their cry of Skoal" must have echoed around the rocky crags while the American Indian listened in the silence of the forest. "Why did the Norse colony In America vanish from the face of the earth? Did the Vikings tire of the New World and return to Europe, or were they obliterated by an earthquake or killed in battle with the vengeful red men? Who has not been thrilled by the beauty of Imagery In Longfellow's poem on "The Skeleton in Armor," compienclng: Speak, ppeak. thou fearful guest! "Who with thy hollow breast Still In rude armor dwt Com est to haunt me! "Wrapt not In Eastern balm Hut with thy fleJhless palms Stretched as If asking alms. Why dcrtt thou haunt me? Most schoolboys are familiar with the story of the skeleton with armor on its shrunken breast, found years ago by workmen engaged In digging on the side of a hill near Fall River, Mass. And we remember too the queer old tower at Newport, R. I., of such a curious shape and said, according to one authority, to have been constructed by Norsemen one thousand years ago. Stern facts argue that this tower was more probably built ao a mill by an early English governor, but suppose we allow this to pass and submit to tho charm of poetic fancy? Out of such a themo Miss Liljencrantz has constructed a wondrous novel of fan cied Norumbega, or New Norway, and In her work she has dlspluyed remarkable Fklll of a most creditable eort. Her theme and plot are out of the beaten jiath. and she displays -the compelling power of the true story-teller. Her Rand var Is not a fighter, a bloodthirsty pirate existing for the sake of loot and sea con quest of the Captain Kidd order. He is rather a model colonist, the friend of the Indian, a natural woodsman, a lover, a poet. Dreamy Imagination marks his many moods. How did he get his name of songsmlth? Listen to what ho says: In the unsettled places where I live, one hears only those verses which the old people brought over the ocean under the hatches of memory. I cot a habit of flshlnc out uch fragments In the way I thought likeliest to be right. From that, my nickname sprang, My foster-father, who had worked at a forge ! In his youth, said that ail the scalds he had met with were like traders, who do more than ' jams on what other men have made; but that . a singer who melts scraps together and ham mers them out In new shapes Is a songtmlth. Randvar. the forester, and yet with the blood of Kings In his veins, loved the Jarl's sister: No power had the sight of bared blades and struggling men to deepen or pale the exquisite color of her faco or strike the pride of her beautirul mouth. In their high spirit, her clear grey eyes were Valkyrla's eyco. Gazing at her. his heart leaped In his breast. He understood for the first time why a sea wolf of a viking might He quiet in the net at a woman. When Randvar kissed the Jarl's sister. Miss Llljcncrantz demurely says: "Ho knew not that ho drew her toward him doubtless she knew not that she yielded. Only, each knew that her lips were there before his, and ho had gathered their perfect flower." This must have been a kiss of the peaches and cream variety. The wcre-wolf myth Is Interwoven with the story with telling dramatic effect, and lias all the intensity and power of an actual stage scene. The color of the plot is tragic toward the last, and one won ders If the authoress Is going to kill her hero after we have gone to such trouble to make his acquaintance? With relief we learn that he marries the Jarl's sister, overcomes all his enemies, and! is ulti mately chosen to be ruler of tho colony. The book is not only a perfect love tale but it possesses such beauty of thought that it Is a poet's song. It will live. The Development of the European Nation. 1870-11)00. by Dr. J. Holland Hose. Volume II. With maps. Q. P. Putnam's Sons. New orlc Cltv. and tho J. K. GUI Com pany. Portland. Diplomacy played by Bismarck In the period following the Franco-German war of 1S70 down to the recent conflict between Russia and Janan. forms the subject matter for the com- i pletion of Dr. Rose's Instructive his torical treatise. Naturally, much space is given to what are called the "little" wars of Great Britain, especially tho battles in Afghanistan, Egypt and tho Transvaal. The military and adminis trative achievements of General Kauf mann. General Roberts, "Chinese" Gordon, lx)rd Kitchener and others are Kivcn due prominence and their life stories are told with fairness and scholarly Judgment. It Is particularly pleasing to note that Dr. Rose gives General Hector MacDonald the man who was hound ed to death by tho cuff-and-collar bri gade of the aristocratic section of the British army tho credit due to his genius In saving the day to Britain in the battle of Omdurman. Macdon ald's brigade, which consisted of one Egyption and three Sudanese battal ions, is Justly praised for Its coolness tinder flro and Its Iron discipline. In speaking of the taking of Omdurman Dr. Hose concludes: "Fanatics here and there tired on -the conquerors but the news of tho Khalifa's cowardly flight from the city soon decided the -waver- is; u& to how. feaXor Uia Insrxtitatila - decrees Of fate. and ask for back sheesh from the victors." Dr. Rose's two volumes will chiefly be prized for their correct knowledge of late history and the charming diction yet con densed style In which the facts are presented. The books would grace any library. The Princess Olgn. by Ervln Wardman. 51.50. Harper & Brothers. New York City. "We are getting accustomed In these en terprising literary times to meet with In fiction clean-faced, square-Jawed Ameri can young men who assume the roles of political adventurers, subjugate one or two decayed monarchies and finish up by marrying a romantic Princess with a fiery temper. Writers have recently had enough perception to observe that there was an increased demand for books of the Zenda order so Anthony Hope has many Imitators, one of the cleverest of these being Ervln "Wardman In his healthy, readable novel of modern adventure. "The Princess Olga." Gordon Harding Is a resourceful fighting hero, possessing eight of the proverbial cat's nine lived; although he Is shown to be human by being twice compelled to be a sick man and cared for by the most tender of nurses. "I want a man strong, daring, resourceful," la the opening sen tence of the book, and H spoken by Jo seph Locke, head of the great banking Arm of Locke, Cromwell & Co. and lo! Gordon Harding, lover, adventurer and soldier, is evolved. The well-constructed plot Js briefly this: Harding, a "West Point product and trained engineer, is sent by Locke, Crom well & Co. to the mythical Kingdom of Crevonla, located In the heart of Europe, to reorganize Important mining Interests In a concession held by American finan ciers. Crevonla proves to be a nest of Intrigues, the succession to the throne be ing claimed by four heirs, one of them being tho beautiful but erratic Princess Olga. For many pages she is known as Madame Valllant, a pouting widow, young in years but old In a knowledge of polit ical affairs. Harding, as tho American governor of the concession, has a small army at his command, and by the naturo of his business relations In New York Is compelled to favor the claims of Prince Nicholas to the throne although the Princess Olga Is legally the heiress pre sumptive. Olga Is a wlll-o'-the-wlsp crea tion and of course she and Harding fall in love with each other, but In a peculiar i fashion. In their stormy courtship they i., invvino th mtnr.ar ' ' . ,. t .n order, and the descriptive work is so well done mat one mcnuuiy nears me cnug- ug ug or tne macnine as it wnizses along. With commendable caution the author docs not follow the lead of Richard Hard ing Davis In the tatter's "Soldiers of For tune," and make Harding a tactician and battle general of the Napoleonic descrip tion. Harding and his troops march and counter-march, but no battle between massed bodies of troops occurs through out the pages. Prince Nicholas Is shot by mistake, and as the army declares for Olga the path Is clear for her as Queen of Crevonla but In this exalted position she realizes that Harding would not mar ry her. "I cannot be a parasite on a people." Harding had said, "It Is In that way we In our land must view the royal drone. I am an engineer, an American not for any of this." Bo a pretty little story of self-sacrifice follows. In which Olga renounces the throne for her American's sake, and Prince Alexander drunkard and fool reigns in her stead. With the exception of Olga, amusing pic tures of fmbeclles called royalties are painted. The novel will get Into the good selling class. Its plot lasts allur ingly to the end. and is so twisted and exciting that the reader vainly wonders what is going to happen next. Cattle Brand, by Andy Adams. S1.S0. Houghton. Mifflin & Co.. Boston.

Silly. The chief point in the story comes where Mrs. Peggy "Ward the wife In question and her husband go on an automobile tour through portions of Italy and France, the proposition be ing that she would take copious notes of the dally bickerings on the trip for evidence In her approaching suit. The auto car trip is described with original humor, the conclusion reached by this new wife being that the 10-year con tract of the Minerva Club was foolish when she already had such tC good husband. The flow of repartee and graceful style of the story make It especially acceptable to married peo ple, by whom It Is sure to be appre cl&tcd Thirty-four high-class illustrations are given, many of them In color, pic turing romantic Italian scenes, and this excellent feature Is alone worth the price of the book.

The first symptom is usually a little sore or blister, whose appearance does not indicate that deeper down, in the "blood, a "treacherous and deadly poison has found its way to corrupt and vitiate the entire circulation, and later to disease the body with the most loathsome and hateful symp toms. Unless one has experienced or witnessed the terrible results of Contagious Blood Poison, no idea of its effects can be formed. When the blood has become fully inoculated with the virus, the mouth and throat ulcerate; glands in the neck and groin swell, and sometimes burst, forming ulcers; the hair comes out; copper colored spots appear on Kthe body; and where the disease is allowed to re main in the system it penetrates deeper and deeper, until it affects the bones, causing them to decay, and makes a complete physical wreck of its unfortunate victim. Not only the first one who contracts the disease must suffer, but it is transmitted through the blood from generation to generation, and innocent lives are blighted and diseased by this monster poison. No other disease is so highly contagious as blood poison; in the mos" trivial manner it may be contracted by innocent persons.
