Brosnan's Life of Jason Lee
xtO WHERE should there be creater interest in Prof. C. J.
'IN Brosnan's biography of Jason Lee than in Salem. This
became the center of his final labors as "Missionary to Ore
gon". Numerous churches of the denomination which sent
him to this coast attest the permanence of -his work; a
'university stands on the foundation of his Indian school.
IWa in a heautiful soot on old Chemeketa plain his remains
lie buried, besides the two wives who before him yielded up
their lives in this new land, distant from home and kindred.
This biography deserves to stand as a complete and on
the whole accurate relation of the facts of Jason Lee's life.
Trip rtvIa is distinctlv narrative : striDDed almost to bare fact.
There is little of appraisal until the epilogue; and through
' out the work there is little in the way of description. The
nW mflv lav the book aside with very little stirring of his
emotions, so barren is the book of personal feeling or appeal.
While this is a tribute to the impartial character of the work
trnA tn the fidslitv of the author in sticking to fact, still the
character and the scene would seem to excite some use of
brushes dipped in richer pigment than the bare details of bi
ographic fact
Perhaps, however this is a praiseworthy fault;. for Lee
like most of the pioneers, has suffered some from over-eulogy,
though he was not apothesized quite like Dr. Marcus
Whitman whose martyrdom became a crown 01 giory.
Dr. Brosnan introduces considerable new material, par
ticularly the correspondence between Lee and his former
teacher. Dr. Wilbur Fisk, one-time principal of Wilbraham
aeademv. Massachusetts, and the man directly responsible
for selecting .Jason Lee as Methodism's response to the cry
s of the Indians for the white man's religion. His work is lib
eraHy sprinkled with extracts from letters, contemporary is
sues of the "Christian Advocate", and other source mater-
ials. Particularly full, and for the most part new to western
admirers of Jason Lee, is Brosnan's study of Lee's life in

Twe plain -clothes men were set oa the trail ef Mr. and Mrs.

And thus It was that two plain
clothes men were set on the trail
of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Quires,
while Colt and Dougherty onee
more put their heads together for
new plans and fresh devices.
Dougherty took the lead in the
discussion.
"I do not see," he began, "where
your Paris background, what we
might can the Basil Boucher mo
tif, fits in with the newest devel
opments. Vincent Rowland had a
good motive for killing these three
peojle. If he has been involved ia
crooked dealings, his high position,
coupled with the known force and
resourcefulness of the man, make
the theory quite attractive. What
a job, it would be to try Vincent
Rowland for two murders!"
"You would try them only one at
a time," Colt corrected the District
Attorney with a smile,
"Need we be technical?" chuck
led Dougherty, running a thiek
sand through his mop of red curls.
'On the other hand, Guy Everett
teems to be an emotionally unstable
ersoa - who might have done it
through some insane motive of re
venge. I believe the ease has nar
rowed down to these two."
Colt nodded philosophically.
"Perhaps," he commented. "But
there remain certain obstacles to
both theories. As a matter ef fact,
there remain other obstacles to any
theory until we break through one
physical barrier. Where was Chris
tine Quires between the time she
got out of the elevator and the time
we found her dead? Until we get
over that hurdle, everything else
stands still."
"That's a tough one," agreed
the District Attorney.
"I have been racking my brains
ever since last night, and I confess
that for hours on end I eouLurt
get within an ineh of the problem,'
went on Colt. "But tonight I ex
pect to solve it."
"Tonight?"
"Yes, Dougherty. In a little
while, you, Tony and I are going
back to that pent-house. And we
are not coming out of it until this
mystery is solved."
"Great I" approved Dougherty.
"But in the meantime there are a
few questions"
The telephone rang. Inspector
Flynn was speaking from his office
downstairs. A few reports had come
in which were of interest in the
Carewe-Quires murders. The clerk
who had been on duty la the lobby
of the apartment house had at last
been located. He had been oa a
beach-house party la DeaL New
Jersey, but was now being ques
tioned by the police. He did re
member the letter which Lola had
found in her box the letter of
warning which had drawn as inte
the case. When asked hew the let
ter had been delivered to the desk,
he replied that he did not know. He
had been called te the telephone
for a moment. When he returned,
the letter was lying oa the desk
blotter. There was no one in sight.
He had not thought this very sig
nificant and had merely put the
letter back into the box.
Farther, Flynn went on te re
port, the autopsies were completed,
and Doctor Multooler had signed
documents, releasing the remains to
the family. Told about Edgar
Quires, he promised to arrange
with the brother for the claiming
of Christine.
From these details, Flynn passed
to a recital of the work on vari
ous trails. Vincent Rowland had
been under complete observation aU
day. Nothing suspicious had devel
oped. Late ia the afternoon be had
caned at the pent-house and in
quired as to the health of Mrs. Ca
rewe. The old man looked haggard
and shaken at the events ia which
he had been entangled. From there
he had gone to the Union League
Club where he remained up to the
last report. Guy Everett had gone
to bed and was still ia bed, in his
room at the Axton Club. He had
left word not to be disturbed. CoH
thanked and dismissed Inspector
Flynn.
"Don't you think we ought te
get Rowland and Ererett down here
and have it out?" a gala urged
Dougherty.
But Colt remained adamant.
"Not here," he insisted. "But 1
am hoping that I win hare a sim
pler plan. Let's be going."
And thirty minutes later ws
found ourselves back ia the apart
ment that had been the home ef
Lola Carewe.

HAT constitutes a "good"

largely a matter of opin

a picture that is decent. I realize
that my notion of decency may
not be entirely the same as yours.
And I like a picture in which the
people are Interesting, which I s
the same reasoa I have for liking

plot. Is secondary. I like beauty
