Mlssloner was the name Zenith, a mountain town of Colorado, chose, first in derision and then in lov ing nonor, to dcsiow upon miss rnnces Benson, missionary by the grace of the bishop who could find no one else who would minister to ths spiritual wants of this ungodly community, or who would be term It ted. by Zenith, to re main In Its midst. Mlssloner was not admitted to fellowshtD at ones either, but had at first to meet the community on its own level before she raised it to hers. Th Ladles' Aid society represented Zenith's social activities and four women, each a Type unto herself, was ths beginning and the end of Its active membership. If the author had left out ths Mlssloner and every other person that helps to make up this story, and bad simply chronicled ths sayings-and doings of these four women, she would have had a story well worth reading, for four better, more consistent, well por trayed characters never occupied the fisges of fiction. Each has a distinct ndividuality. wholly unlike each other, yet perfect types of the shrewd, unedu cated women who follow thn mining camps snd often attnin a worldly win dom and a rugged strength utterly un known to the shielded and protected daughter of the drawing-room. But It is one of the human phenomena that the extremes of society often hold very much the same views upon social and economic questions, leaving the middle strata to work out the problems of civilisation: and so these four women ILheld views very similar to those held fhy their social antithesis regarding woman's spnere, ana tney determined Frsnces Benson could not remain in Zenith. They held council and some ons reported "Mis' Nltschkan an' her friends won't have her. They sny they don't want no woman missionary nosln' around this camp.

The story of these people is told rapidly, but now and then the Mlssloner has her hours of unrest or soul stirring thought and the author takes her up Into her well beloved mountains and there reveals to the reader her wonderful descriptive power.

Tho volume begins with Grecian times and brings its events down to our civil wsr, embracing all the great world iaauen. We can Imagine no more amus ing occupation for a winter evening than reading Mr. Chamberlain's book. Henry Altemus Co. Pries tl. "The Black Bag," by Louis Joseph Vance. In the present story Mr. Vance In no wiss dimmed the brilliant reputa tion he made for himself when he wrote "The Brass Bowl;" but on the contrary has advanced himself a notch higher in tne neid or notion writers. Like "The Brass Bowl," this story never tarries on the -way, but goes for- woru wan compelling inierem ironi ut cinnlna to end. It has pronounced dra matic qualities and will no doubt tempt the playwrights to una liberties with it as they did with' the other. The hero of the present story is about to sail for America, naving loat an ma worldly possessions in the San Francisco dis aster. He la waltlna- In London the de parture of his vsssel when he is unex pectedly drawn into a plot, the nature or wnicn na is ignorant or, out arter a few hours acaualntancs with the daurh- ter of tha chief conspirator he is so in love with her he stays in for her pro tection, and becomes a part of ths most daring schemer, hair-breadth es capes, and tbilUiag adventures. The lot and conspiracy centers about a lack, gladstone bar which contains priceless Jewels. It belongs to the heroine of the story, but a well laid plan has been made, and until tho very end of the story, has been well executed to defraud her of it, and of other in heritance. The story is exceedingly in tricate and hss many oomplications which it reauires ths intelllsence of Scotland Yard, at times, to extricate it from. As a whole it brings together tha elements of a fins romance and a cleverly written detective story, though It would not properly come under this latter class of literature. Bobba Merrill & Co. Price $1.60. The Marriage of Mrs. Merlin," by Charles Stokes Wayne. The advance notices of this book give rather an er roneous impression of the story when they state "that ever-interesting matri monial problem, the trial marriage, finds this fssclnatlng tale a novel and daring solution." for the marriage of Mrs. Merlin Is in no sense a "trial mar riage," but wholly a "marlage da oon- venince." There Is a wide difference in the commonly accepted meaning of these two terms. Mrs. Merlin was the 26- year-old widow of an aged California multimillionaire, who had induced her to marry him, . a few days before his death, that shs 'might Inherit his large fortune. After a year or two of wan dering over the world she found a rich and handsome young widow had troubles of her own, and a husband, only, would protect her from this army of fortune hunters she encountered in every land, 1 "Mr. Crew's Career." bv Winston Churchill A new book bv Mr. Church ill is always an event of prime Import ance in the year's literary affairs.
