The Long Arm of Mannlster," by E.
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. '

of Krauela Thompaon by Edward J. 11.
O'Urlen, glvaa one uturh light upon a
rare character that alioul.l be better
known, which means batter appreciated.
The writer eays:
'To hava felt and ta have loved Kran.

aplrltual gains In our Uvea which, coma
what may, can never be lost entirely.

succeeded in cloaking all things vividly

spired by Hod." .
An article that will rind more of hu
man Interest than perhaps any other In
the hook Is by K laard Thoatenberg, en.
tltleff: "Is Longfellow's 'Kvangillne' a
Product of gwedlah Influence" The
writer goes minutely Into tha rloaa as
sociation tmgfellow had with Swedish
llf through a prnlnnaad, ata.v In Bweln
snd his tludv of tha lanauaan. whlla
he had never bean to Nova Kent la. knew
nothing of the peaaaat Ufa of Ita peo
ple and that bis portraiture of Acadian
life much more nearly resembled thai
farm life of tha Swedish people thaa of
the Iphabltanta of Orand 1're, whom he
says "were wretchedly poor, lanorant
and priest-ridden. . Not In the . whole
country, qna might venture to ssv, was
fhera a farm stead In a; so comfortable aa
that whioii the poet bestows on Evan
geline's father,"
Many other ltka points he brings out
In tha article, to confirm the opinion
that It Is rJwedlah rather 'than Acadian
life Longfellow deplete In his poem.
. 'The Cult of Pierrot" by Milton
Bronner- Is another noteworthy article.
There Is a rharmlnjr little article by O.
H. Rystad. "Where Romanticism la fjtlll

as well worth mentioning complete the
