The following-' -blta of conversation will give one' a pretty good Insight Into the atrenath. and' character' and view point which .dominates the work.

Phillins OiiDenhehn The author has dared to atem tha tide of public senti ment by writing along the old-fash ioned lines of "an eve for an eye.' and y ignoring the "new tnougnt" iaea that has saturated so many novels of recent date. To "aet even" was 'the doctrine of George Mannlster, and he neid tenaciously to nis creea until ns had properly revenged himself upon eiaht rascals who Had. - prevlouaiy, wrecked his home and fortune. The cool, cunningly devised way with which he went about it snows tne autnor a ubtle Imagination and skillful con duction to wonderful advantage. He does not draw them Into a wholesale conspiracy, or trap ' them at one fell blow. Ilka most authors would do. be lieving In tha dramatic effect of huge climaxes. Mr. OuDcnlielm Is much too artistic for that:, he simply conceives eight well laid plots, each Independent of Itself, yet bv their interdependence llnklna- them in a continuous story, while ha proceeds to carry them out, one at a time, and ao each one is "done up" Just simply tricked into their own undoing. . . . . Mannlster in a characteristic manner, drawa a paper from hla pocket, whereon Is written the elaht names nd ooolly drawa a heavy black line through the latest victim of he long arm of ven geance. And then does the author draw his conventional moral and cover Man nlster with remorse for this un-Chrla-tlan conduct? Not at all! Ho again defies the traditions of superstition and lets him walk off happy with the woman ihe loves. ' 1 - It is perhaps not a wholly pleasant story, and would perhaps be "turned down" as pernicious teaching by many who insist upon calling human naturo "error," or by those who have lived long enough to know how little worth while revenge id, nevertheless it Is a strong book, and one cannot but admire the. courage which the author displays in stripping human passion of much of tha mawkish sentiment with which it has been the fashion to clothe it in, of recent yeara.
