"4 :.V . .. ' THE OREGbN SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND,. : SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 23, 1911' ER PETL'A," by IMon Clayton Calthrop. There fs nothing the fiction reader of today enjoys quite fso much, in an author, hs originality, and Mr. Calthrop can have the supreme satisfaction of knowing- that he will produce in his readers, or most of thorn, the fcelinpr of not knowing whether or no they like his Ktory. The ptory itself has some tartllnRly original thins in It, and these are (he things that puzzle the reader and make him undecided. Brian O'Cree, an Irish artist, ec centric to say the least, opens the Story by burning his love letters and relieving himself of some opinions be holds regarding women, and by Announcing to his little 7 year old model, Perpetua. who stands wait ing his pleasure, that: "I will make a thousand a year and become a crusted bachelor. I have done with women!" He then attempts to amuse the child In the usual way, but she Is distraught and . refuses to listen to the story of the "Purple Elephant." Now, elephant's were Perpetua's specialties and Brian knew something must be woefully wrong. As ; he attempted to comfort her with some ridiculous pet name, she threw her arms about his neck and walled. In a childish pleading voice, "Father." This was rather disconcerting to the man who had felt himself clear of all femi nine entanglements and had just de clared himself a "crusted bachelor." Still greater was nls astonishment when "Perpetua Mary Brown" coolly told him ehe thought he would do, and she In tended to adopt him," or words to that effect. Then he drew from her her pitiful little story, though she didn't know its true significance, as she told It in a matter of fact childish way a deserted mother, who after a few years of toll and disgrace gave up the battle, leaving a motherless child to the mercy of the landlady whose Interest In mother and child ceased when the un certain remittances stopped altogether, and at length a little 7 year old girl, earning her own bread and butter, pos ing as a model, and the awful future looking her In the face. Her story was so pathetically told, and her Idea of adopting a father so naive that at its conclusion the easy going Bohemian apirit of Brian prevailed and he settled her future by simply replying, "I have accepted what fate has brought me Bight about turn, Perpetua Mary O'Cree." The -life of these 'two together, aa the girl grew to womanhood is beautiful. It has no maudlin sentiment in It, and Is really the relationship more of com rades and friends than father and daughter. In both the author has cre ated excellent character studies, and he develops them along highly original lines. They leave London and wander over Europe for years with a troop of players in a cheap circus. Here again Mr. Calthrop has drawn some wonderful ketches of human nature, even if there does seem some Inconsistency In a man of Brian O'Cree's refined and artistic temperament being able to officiate with these mountebanks. The time comes, however, when some of Brian's woman friends finally suc ceed In persuading him that Perpetua must go to school and be surrounded by other influences. Money has never been scarce with Brian, so he provides the girl with everything necessary, and at the age of 16 sends her to the con vent in Paris under the care of Sister t'rsula. Plie was Just the disposition to be deeply impressed with the pomp and ceremony of the Catholic church, and she soon became a devout Romanist. Up to this time everything was purei and beautiful in the glri'a life, but about the time she was leaving the convent the serpent appeared in Paradise, in the form of her own father, and a rich young roue off -if whom he lived.- The episode of the father and Saville Men der, and their cornectlnn with the story, particularly the latter's, is disgusting and revolting, and one cannot hut wish that the author's imagination hart found some better way out of the p'ro dlcament. It did, however, whether Mr. Calthrop meant it or not, draw a powerful con trast between the pure and undcflled re ligion of love an,l the shell of form and Bclf-abnegation. No religion can serve Its purpose that U-achrs a disregard 0r the Individual's happiness. It has wrecked many a life, and it came near wrecking Perpetua's.

And Just remember this, that am man who is anybody or is doing anything great and worthy is going to' have enemies. Safety lies In being nothing, and in doing nothing.

"The Tennt ssec Shad." by Owen John son Anew lawrenceville story is hailed with rapture by those who have rend Mr. Johnson's stories of the same school and the boys who maka life miserable for "the old Roman" and his coworkers In the cultivation of the young minds of the students. We know the "Tennessee Shad" before we begin to read, for he played an Important part in the education of the "Varmint" and did his part nobly with "The Humming Bird" and was the chief member of the firm of "The Tennessee Shad and Doc. Macnooder." To begin to describe or review, this book would be to tell the story Itself, and nothing short of reading It for one's self and having the opportunity of laughing all to one's self over the escapades of these healthy, mischievous youngsters will satisfy the reader, especially If he be a lover of the "eternal boy." To sea the Shad leaning back luxuriously In the wheel barrow while "Raw Beefsteak" wheels htm around the circle accompanied by the cheers and shouts of the faculty, as well as the student body, who view the proceeding a one of Shad's most successful deceptions, while the poor "Raw Beefsteak'' vainly supposes the applause Is for himself Is enough to make the render take off his hat and cheer with the crowd. In this book we again visit the "Jigger shop," the dif ferent historic rooms where the inci dents of other stories have had their setting; seie the same boys still follow ing their different vocations and avo cations, and again the famous toilet set of many hues and patterns changes hands at an enormous price owing, of course to its historic value. One new face we see, and it is a face we can never forget poor "Raw Beefsteak!" "His father. Joshua M. Skinner, pro proetor and manager of the Regal hotel, blissfully regarded himself as but an humble Instrument In the advancement of his only child's career, and secretly rejoiced when his son lectured him on the proprieties of masculine attire and the vernacular of select society." Skin ner Jr., was Just such a son as one might expect from this kind of a father and hsv"had not simply been born with a sold spoon In his mouth, but literally amid a shower of golden spoons, forks and knives." Imagine him .as he drives up In front of Dickinson House, his valet preceding him with his suit case, while from the window above Doc. Mac nooder nearly faints with surprise with Just Btrength sufficient to exclaim, "Keeroogalum!" Hungry Smeed, figs head, Turkey Reiter and all the rent rush to the window and look down upon the vision of fashionable Broadway "Holy Cats! What Is It? Have I lived to eee It? It's a beetle! No, It's a dentist! It's a butler!" are some of the expressions from the upstairs window, aa poor stylish Skinner and his val- let enter the most graceless house In the Circle. Then poor old colored Klon dike, the Janitor, Is called in and dressed up as a valet In caricature, with silk hat and turkey feathers, and he pre sents the calling cards of the upstairs gentlemen, one at a time to Montague Skinner and from then on the tin grows, until poor Skinner Is no longer Raw Beefsteak but well done and tough all over. The book Is a laugh from be ginning to end and Tennessee Shad Is In the very thick of It. The Baker Taylor Co. Price $1.10. "The Daring Twins," by Frank Baum. The five little Darings had been left all alone with the trying situation of earning a livelihood and for a time The Twins, being the oldest of the family and upon whose shoulders these sore perplexities had fallen, stood In dumb amazement gazing out Into what seemed to these young folks a vast expanse. It was just at this time that the chil dren's favorite author, L,. Frank Baum, found them, realized upon short ac quaintance that the Darings were not "daring" in name only, took up the thr;ad of their lives and wove It Into tho most charming story imaginable. Phil and Phoebe had not quite fin ished school nt the opening of the story, but by careful management they were enabled lo finish their term and then Phil, through the good recommendation which an honest, upright boyhood had glvr-n him, secured a place in the bank of the town.

It Is an easy matter for a f.iki-r in any line to claim to lie u top-notrher and to fool some of the pi-npin some of the time, but not all of the. people all the time. When a person of ordinary Intelligence Is fooled by a quack dentist he deserves no o.vmuathv. It's his own funU TW pie who get bunkoed seldom ever trou- nie inemseive. with inquiries, or with making useful observations. Apropos, the only dentists who have any right to take exceptions to what w e say re, those who do not or cannot make good; the high-class practitioner is rather the. beneficiary.

But through the dishonesty of a fellow worker, the banker's son, Phil finds himself In line for a whole lot of trouble, which lie and Phoebe, by lying In wait and watching for the cul prit, were able to avert. Then, too, Phoebe has discovered that her old uncle, supposed to be very poor. Is In reality very rich, and that an old serv ant is trying by every means to defraud the.ni of their rights to an Inheritance, but Phoebe Is a "Daring Twin," and to dare is to do, so she solves the rid dle.

"Chrysanthemums, and How to Grow Them, "by I. I.. Powell "Vines, and How to Grow Them," by William C. MeCollom. These are two of a series of what the publishers are pleased to, and very appropriately call "The Garden Library." They mark a new era in garden literature, as It Is the first of a series of low priced, practical and beautifully Illustrated hand books on home gar dening that has evor appeared, in America These volumes are all written by competent authorities on the sub jects, are full of good, helpful advice and instruction for all who grow plantu and flowers, and those who take an In terest in the maintenance and Improve ment of the country home gardens. There is no flower known, perhaps, whose evolution from the unknown and Insignificant to the popular and magni ficent has been so great an, that of the Chrysanthemum. From the tiny llttlo button that was wont to shiver in the autumn blasts, has grown In sire a,nd gorgeousness almost the queen of all flowers. To raise them has been a perfect craze, and the most expert flor ists have often failed to grow the per fect flower, while the amateur has been In dispair, and all for the want of knowing Just those essential things, simple In themselves generally, that must be known to obtain results. Mr. Powell has brought the raising of this fall bloom Into a simple science In his little book, and by closely studying It, and observing the methods he lays out no one should fail who attempts to raise them. What Mr. Powell has done to Instruct the amateur in the raising of Chrysan themums. Mr. McCullom has accom plished In his instructions for raising vines. No suburban home can be either beautiful or artistic without vines; nor oan It be comfortable without their shade and protection. There is no class of plants that requires better taste and Judgment, or more discriminating care in planting than vines for a homely, unseasonable or neglected vine creates Just the conditions they are Intended to correct. Mr. McCullom takes up both the very ordinary, and extraordin ary species, and gives definite instruc tions as to soil, care, places and every detail of their growth that will pro duce the best results. Botli these boks are elaborately Il lustrated, making them both practical and suggestive. Doubleday, Page & Co. Price $1.10 each. T Councilman Schmeer Investi gates Conditions in Haw thorne.
