''The Straw." bv Rlna Ramsay.
Thank a to the, fdndSmentaT law of both
England ' and America, which forbids
any man to be put in Jeopardy of- life or
liberty twice on the same charge, the
central figure in a sensational English
murder- In the Leicestershire hunting
aet, can , face the , revelation of his
identity fearlessly, The revelation has
come through the. medium or this recent
novel, "The Straw," by Kina Ramsay.
"Rlna Ramsay," hoWgyer, it is is assert
ed, la not an English woman at all, but
an American man. For obvious reasons
he has chosen to protect : himself by 1
nSeudonvm:- the Identity of his charac
ters Is not so wejl concealed In fact la
hardly concealed at .all by tne ricu-
uoua names Destowea upon tnem.
The consequence is that In "The
Straw" is to be found the inside his
tnrv of a series of events which culm!
nnt'eA tn a mvsterloua murder and
startled the sporting set of England's
nunting snire as it nas rareiy peen
startled before. -
The searchlight, so xinexpectedly
thrown by "Bina Kamsay a- npvei upon
thla riddle can hardly be said, however
to reveal a scandal. No remorse has
about "the sweet-running,
to torment the murderer, nor
la It probable that any of his
anoea will condwmn htm tor his act.
