UEVI BOOKS AND THEIR PUBLISHERS mm m m J) lit tim dt;st or conflict--By Harold Btndloss. Th book I ' certainly has received no mis- A nomer, for ... ths dust of the s conflict In which Its different - character play their part" Is thick and at time almost stifling In It a rapid awlrl and aetlon. It la a book to make glad tha heart of any reader who enjoys the Intrigues of Insurgent warfare, the danirers of filibustering and the excite ment of dangerous adventure. Starting on the quiet preserves of an English , country horns two distantly related men of wholly different characteristics talk over a situation the heir to the estate, . who Is the weaker of the two men has . gotten f himself into. As In the old , college days Bernard Appleby comes to the rescue and offers to right the mat ter for Tony,, PsJllser. Tony is en gaged to a typical English girl, Violet ' ' Mayne, whose Ideas of right and wrong are rather of the Puritanical order, and Tony believes an open conression or I voutltfuL. thouah .not criminal Indis cretion fatal to his prospects of making Iter his wire. "-j - in attempting to relieve Tony of a blackmailer a fatal accident occurs which. If explained by Appleby, would Involve an exposure of Tony, but to flee meant to throw suspicion or muraer up on himself, but never a word of it s . raped him and he went to Cuba, and af ter various experiences became a leader of the "Sin Versuerlsa" and was ex pnrienclng some pretty hot work about tne time or me sinning or me aisino, and which grew hotter f om that time on. - ;-,,.,, . , . : .-.i . v. On his way over he rll in with Cy rus Harding of New Tork, but one of Cuba's sugar kings, and indeed It was through this meeting Appleby turned to Cuba. - On the same boat was Nettle Harding, a typiosl American girl who was engaged to an officer of th navy and In a position to draw the confidence of Appleby and with perspicuity to supply what . he omitted of his story. This she afterward used to telling Q vsntage In straightening out things for Appleby In England. It has.-been said that Mr. Bllndloss hsndles with difficulty his women in fiction, snd the method . and manner Nettle Harding used in relieving her conscience and performing what she believed to be her duty. Is a bit bungled and would give some color to the charge made against the author; nut ne re - deems himself In the wholly , womanly character of Violet Mayne. The force of the book, however, lays more In Its vivid portrayal of the in surgent warfare In Cuba, than In its romance and into it the author has nut the most vivid light and colorin and It would require little discernment to discover that Mr, Bllndloss writes with a personal knowledge Of the scenes he describes. , The book is illustrated in colors by W. Herbert Dunton. Frederick A. Stokes company, - Price 1.60. . "Tenants of the Trees" By Charles Hawkes. Mr. Hawkes writes delight fully and Intimately of nature and ant mal life.

The reader - gets a distinct note of individu ality in Mr. Hawses- worss. "Tenants of the Trees ' deals - more particularly with birds and with smaller woodland animals, and there Is ' also much charming and vital description of still life. The publishers are particularly a-ratt fled to announcs Mr. Louis Rhead as the Illustrator. His characteristic) drawings are in complete harmony with Mr. Hawkes' text. .,1 C. Page A Co.

Such a reconstruction as he has achieved could. agination working under the guidance ' of the broadest, and most accurate schol arshlp. ' As critic puts it: "Few historians ,s possess the gift of making the far-off past as human and Interesting as a transcript of modern life. T, O. Tucker is one of the few. He has produced a ' book that has all of the charm and reality of a contemporary record.

Little, Brown C. Price $$.00. "What Happened to Barbara" By Olive Thome Miller. This is a pleasant little story of a pleasant' and natural little ' glrL ' with morals running thick and fast ' through every chapter. ; It can hardly be called a continuous story, though it is of the same little girl as she goes through the trials of child hood and reaches maturer . years. It Is far removed from the ordinary Sunday school story, though it has some lessons that Barbara had to learn throuch severe trials. It hss a lesson or two, as welL for the older members of the family. When Barbara was a little girl, at a sensitive age, and being of that temperament, there came to her home a distant relative ana ner tune daughter who was, in years, a very little older than Barbara, t but whose disposition and character were more matured. She was a sly. Jealous child and at - once began undermining and criticising Barbara, which, while It had no effect on Barbara's parents, was en dured and condoned by them because Janet and her mother were dependent on the bounty of Barbara's good , par ents, who showed both mother ; and daughter special favors on that , so count. Barbara-was too young to ap preciate this and her young life was warped and soured by this unhappy: ele ment In her otherwise good home. - The author has very cleverly written into her story this lesson to parents. who overlook the happiness of those nearest to them to do a laraer, and what seems at the time a more Impor tant, duty. , Houghton.

In his preface Mr. Kellogg says: "Lett the reader should clinch with the wrong Idea, we rise to remark right here it the front door that these fables were conceived, and many, or them written, before the - lights - had been switched upon Georare Ade and other modern fable makers, or before they had even put up their entrance money, so, far as we know. "As one of the editors of a 1 little country , daily, some , years : aao. we yearned to assist the people in their toll. Bo we wrote one or tnese raoies, and watchtnar a favorable opportunity. slammed it over to a second and Jumped behind a tree.
