The Kdge of Hazard. By George Horton.

Portland people who have seen Ralph
Stuart In the romantic American-Russian
play "By Right of Sword" will recognise
and admire the prototype of the hero in
Frederick Courtland Hardy, the chief per
former in Mr. Horton's novel. "The Edge
of Hazard," which deals with Russian
frontier life at a. period preceding the
Russo-Japanese war.
The racy style, describing love. Intrigue,
fighting, a duel, aristocracy and Incident
following incident In rapid succession,
remind one of the pages of MeCutchoon or
Anthony Hope. Mr. Hardy Ix distinctly
a fortunate young man. One of Boston's

h thought to marr.'. Hardy accepts an
offer to be superintendent of an Ameri
can trading station In Siberia. En rout
to Vladivostok he manages to secure the
affections of a young Japanese girl named
Aisome, a Vassar graduate. Arrested an
a supposed Russian py. Hardy Is visited
by Aifiome, who says:
nl now co'xl-l . You may let me oner.

custom of my country.'
She raised hr Hps tn him and h" stooped
and kissed her- The lljw iver dewy and

nubtle perfume, as If she herself wore some
exquisite flower. '
"Good-by." the whlupered. "and think
honiMlmeft of the little Lilac Blossom." She
turned and was cone.
Very poetic. Mr. Horton Is careful to
insist on th fact that Hardy Is a Bos
ton man. wears eyeglasses and is one of
the best revolver shots this country ever
knew Consequently, in the pages that
follow Hardy is given everj chance to
prove his skill as 'a marksman. But the
chief incident. In the 22d chapter, where
Hardy shoots Stenka to save the latter
from death on the cross at the hands of
Chinese bandits, would have been hotter
omitted. It conies as
shock to women i
i
readers,
In a duel with Prince Romanoff. Hardy's
skill Is so marked that he succeeds In .

Toy the love match of Hardy and the
Princess Romanovna. Wang, supposedly
a Oorean boy. secures a position as sec
retary with Hardy, and it is strange that
4he latter did not penetrate the disguise
nnd aay to Wang: "You are Alsome."
For such la the case. Lucky Hardy he
was loved at the same time by two
women.
How did the matter end? Tn the lart
chapter Hardy, the Princess and Alsome
are Journeying in a sleigh through tho
.mow to board a train en route to the
war In the Far East, when they are at

leaps among the maddened animals, say
ing: "Farewell, my beloved. I givo you
to her and to happiness I. who have
Toved you tho most." The story finishes
tr- ten additional lines, with the decisive
Information that Hardy, "with tears
streaming down his cheeks, stands erect
In the sleigh and holds the swooniug
Princess in his ,arms." The title of tho
story Is taken from Shakespeare's "All's
Well That Ends Well."
Christian Origins, by Dr. Otto Pflelderer.
fl 75 pet. B. W. Huebsch. New York City.
Translated from the German by Daniel
A. Hcubsch. Th. I)., this book of 295
iages made a sensation, among theological
circles when it recently appeared In -Germany.
It is the result of a scries of
puhlic lectures delivered a short time
ago at the University of Berlin during
a Winter semester. In the presence of
students of all departments and many
noncollcgiatc visitors of both sexes.
The viewpoint from which Dr. Pflelderer
describes the origin of Christianity differs
vastly and In many ways from the tra
' ditional church presentation. According
ly, ft is easy to believe that the book
has not been written for such readers
as feel satisfied by the traditional church
faith. The author rather addresses those
who are possessed of an urgent desire to
learn what la to be thought from the
standpoint .of modern science concerning
the origin of the faith and the eternal and
temporal In It. The views expressed by
the author are the result of more than
40 years anxious study.
"The rationalist Paulus." write. Ir. Pfleld
erer, "explains the miracle of J ecu walking
on the waters by saying that the Greek word
had been misunderstood, so that the passage
mean not 'on,' but 'by. the waters. The
miracle at the baptlmr. of Jesus rests on a
mistaken Interpretation ot the fact that a
dove chanced to alight an Jesus at that mo
ment The miracle of the transformation of
the water at Cana .is reduced to the mere
trick ot the prestidigitator, which Jesus per
formed as a bit of amusement at the wedding.
Less comically Innocent, but repugnant and
low. Is the rational explanation ot the birth
story, wherein the thought-laden poetry or
legend Is dragged In the mire of vulgar prose.
Half a century ago the great church historian.
Ferdinand Christian Baur. ot Tubingen, was
the first one who dared to apply to the hls
trrv of Christianity the thought of "evolu
tion. which had long been normative In every
other department of science. His opponents
reproached him with a lack of understanding
of the perron of Jesus this was a gross In
justice eo far as historical understanding Is
concerned. He was most hearty la his rec
ognition of the moral greatness of Jesus. But
his sober and upright ene of truth did not
restrain htm from the romantic deification of
the person of Jesus and his segregation frosi
all historical conditions and limitations.
"The origin of Christianity Is to b thought
of as a developing process in which various
ether factors were working along with the
Itfcwork of Jesus. These united and adjusted
themselves gradually, but not without inner
contradictions and struggles.
"Jesus (aspired ethers because he htmtelf
was inspired by a faith, more elevatlifg than
humiliating, "bringing biles more than terrAr.
He won the "hearts of many because he brought

1861 Mud led under Baur at Tubingen, and
afterwards studied In England and Scot
land. He then entered tlie church, and
for a. short time held a pastorate at Hell
bronn; he became -professor of theology
at Jena and In J5T5 was called to tho
chair' of systematic theology at Berlin,

longs to the critical school which has

Baur. He Is perhaps the leading renre-

narrowness that was at one time a char-

Grundy. 51.50. The Baker & Taylor Com
pany. New Tork City.
A wise man who thought ho knew
women .well, once remarked that all
novels were about marrying and being
married that Is. so far as women are
concerned.
Now. Just as sugar Is to tea or Bunshlne
to flowers so do charming piquancy and
almost Irish wit crystallize Into one of
the best love stories of the year. "Haxel
of Heatherland." It Is Impossible to mis
take this being an English novel with Its
atmosphere of quiet rest, country lanes
and gardens, and the many occasions on
which its characters take tea with each
other. Their onespeclaI enjoyment seems
to be tea drinking. The motif of the
book is the perplexity of Hazel Wycherley
in her choice of a husband who must also
be her lover, and the diverse personalities
of two of her adorers, Robert Inderwlck
nnd Eustace Escourt, The story Is told
in the first person singular and the title
could well have been: "Hazel Wycherley.
Pepperbox." She was a young woman of
most uncertain temper and was all the
better of a guardian. In one of her
tempers she said: "Lord, may I be
something male in the next life. I don't
care what It is. a weasel, even, so long
as It Is not a female."
The novel gives these definitions of tho
gentler sex.
A woman Is tha most Interesting, complex,
unexpected sort of creature God has created.
She has great receptive powers, no con
structive ability, a character with 150 sides
to It, and her moods and whims are beyond
counting, for they are legion.
4n love affairs men Invariably die before
women. It takes a great deal to kill wom
en they cling to life with the tenacity ot
a cat
It Is quite remarkable when women do
find tnelr congenial work how quickly they
lire, of It and then they cry out that their
strength Is not sufficient to stand It. Wom
en are such humbugs!
It should be remembered , that Hazel
refused to marry one of her lovers be
cause he wore a blue necktie Instead of
a green one. and because bis shoe laces
had knots In them.
Tbe True Andrew Jackson, by Cyrus Town
send Brady. L. L. D. Postpaid.
Illustrated. J. P. IJpplncott Company,
Philadelphia.
Filled to the brim -with historical data,
portraits of people famous In the history
of our country, fac-simtles of, public doc
uments this hiBtory of tho career of the
seventh President of the United States is
a notable volume. The autnor Is one of
those who Is not over fond of the term
Scotch-Irish, meaning people who are
natives of the north of Ireland. He says:
It Is known that the Jackeons came from
Carrlckfergus. a town sear Belfast. In the
Province of lister. One thing is certain.
There is no evidence whatever that there
was any Scotch blood Sn them at alt. and
the pleasant fiction that because they be
longed to the- Presbyterian Church they
were therefore not pure-blooded Irish may
be courteously hut firmly dismissed. What
ever Justification there may Tf for the
hybrid term Scotch-Irish, there is no evi
dence that Jackson represented the alleged
mixture that comes under that curious name.
With this view of the case, there -will
naturally be many expressions of dissent.
There can be no doubt that In the batbe
of Xew Orleans. January S. 3 ELS. Jackson
was materially aided to success by the
mad stupidity of the British In ordering
a frontal attack. Dr. Brady admits that
it would have been possible for Pakenham
to flank Jackson -out of the latter s strong
defensive position.
The graphic atyle of the book and the

rlor, make the recital of more than ordi
nary interest. "I call Washington the
founder. Jackson the perpetrator, and
Lincoln the preserver of our country,
says Dr. Brady.
The College Man sad the College Woman.
By William De Witt Hyde, president of
Bowdoln College. J1.SO. Houghton. Mlf--flln
& Co. Boston. Mul, and the J. K.
GIU Co.. Portland.
Enthusiastic and optimistic. Presi
dent Hyde gives his tlews based on a
mature understanding of essential
matters connected with college life,
His observations are thoso of one who
has been a president during 20 years
of college life and college administra
tion. It Is just the book to assure over
anxious parents and guardians that
college students with all their faults
and follies are among the best fellows
in all the world.
For the first 45 pages the story Is
told by letters describing the transfor
mation of the undergraduate, and the
other chapters are In the form of ad
dresses. Most of the matter has al
ready been appreciated In several
high-class American magazines. The
author thinks that the main reliance
of a college for Its moulding of men
nnd women lies In actual living. In an
atmosphere of freedom -where each
person has returned to him frankly,
swiftly, mercilessly, 'the social Judg
ment tha,t his acts Invite and his char
acter deserves. The book Is dedicated
to President Roosevelt.

Five helpful addresses dealing with dif

church and humanity. The titles of tho
talks arc: "What Is Truth?" "What Is
Religion?" "The Significance of Prayer";
and "Ought a Religious Man to Join

the stamp of liberal good sense. Of course.
the. author assumes that a religious
man should Join a church. He argues
that if people find their religious lives
quickened by some body of professing
Christians, that they should not let any
formal creed stand In Jhe way of fellow
ship with these Christians. "Christianity
even in Its organized form Is no longer
creed." says President Pritchett. "It Is
the visible expression of the gradually

It Is an old but comforting thought
coming to us from tho mists of ages
that it Is not death to die to take the
leap into the unknown. The immortal
ity Idea of the theologian Is too well
known to warranVrepetltlon here- Profes
sor Ostwald, in giving the Ingcrsoll lec
ture of liOS, treats of the subject ot our
future life as he -would discuss a prob
lem In chemistry. He writes In the cold,
merciless accents of science on the latest
thought relating to the connection of
mind and matter. Here Is tho conclusion
of his book of 71 pages: "Every advance
ment that we, by the sweat of our brows,
may succeed in making toward our own
perfection. Is so much gain for our chil
dren, and our children's children forever.
I must confess that I can think of no
grander perspective of Immortality than
this.'

MIghels was educated as a lawyer and ob
tained his Hcens to practice while still zt
years of sge. but .when he left his home to
live In San Franetjco. he began a new career
one of art and letters combined. Subse
quently, upon ajtmmlng residence In New York
City, he studied art for several years, and
only abandoned painting and sculpture be
cans he found the allurements ot literature
greater. Four years ot Mr. MIghels career
as a novelist and writer of short Action were
spent In London, where he had the satisfaction
of pit sting th editors 'of some of Engtand'a
foremost raagaslnes. In addition to publishing
a novel of I.csdon life that not a single Ecr
l!sh critic challenged for Inaccuracies. Since
his return from abroad Mr. MIghels has ptxb
UsEed a large number of short atorles sad a
number of novels, the most popular ot which
waa "Bruwer Jim's Baby." a mlnlng-camp
story. Ills latest book Is "Chatwlt, the Man-
.Talk. Bird. Mr. MIghels usually lives aad
works In New Tork every Winter, but spends
his Summers anywhere out of New Tork that
his automobHe will run. He visits the Far
West frequently and has crossed the continent
dozen times.
