Y Gene Stratton-Porter’s last book, “The Keeper of the Bees,” full as it is of her particular method and mannerism will stand as typical of the school of fiction she fostered. It is the finished product of one who, through constant practice, come to aim with an almost unc accuracy at the heart of the lions who read her, as Dic! say, “with profoynd gravity.’ Stratton-Porter “knew and mil- ns would * Gene under- stood that prosperous multitude who have every reason to find satisfac- tion in. the ‘comfortable philosophy of Pippa and Pollyanna. She knew their likes and their dislikes and thetr-pet aversions, their prides and their prejudices, as few writers have known them. As a result, “Preckles" and “The Girl of the Limberlost” and the rest of the glorious company of apostles simply could not help being “best sellers”. Her last book will easily slip into that enviable category. “The Keeper of the Bees’ stands on its own feet as a story: Mrs. Stratton-Porter never joined” the ranks of those who believed that a tale consisted in a catalog of mental processes. She saw to ft in all her books that people did things. In her last book she made no excep- tion to this rule. action’s heels, The narrative concerns itself chiefly with one James Lewis Mac- farlane, an American war hero, who retains sufficient Scotch from his parents to bur, according to the author, even through the verse of Scripture that did not boast a single “r". Macfarlane’s wounds had not healed in the army hospital. Their poison was in his whole system, and even weakened his mental resist- ence. But at the decision to send him to a tuberculosis camp to die he balked. Being in the army it was not his to reason why. But he left —decamped as it were, from the army sanitarium without so much as a kit bag for his trouble. Through the series of incidents that finally ‘ead him to a bee farm in California, we need not dilly and dally. But there the chief sceneg in the story take place. The story, naturally, winds on through his fight for h th and for happiness. He starts up the sunshine route of open air, right food, right thoughts. With the author ag the guide, the reader follows along it by the young sol- dier's side with ever increasing in- terest. And in and on the shores of the salty Pacific, James not only gets his health but gets married. This marriage to a veiled woman whose name he does not even know, smakes more of Bronte’s Yorkshire than Gene Stratton-Porter’s Main Street. But it all comes out right in the end. The book has its quota of lovable personalities. There is Margaret Cameron, a woman “who might well have been typical of a universal mother, and exactly the right kind of a mother at that.” There is the Bee Master himself, and the most distinctive and original of all, the Little Scout. The author has used the Little Scout to supply a goodly part in the story’s fun and = mischief. Despite of the coolly calculated ap- peal of “The Keeper of the Bees,” a sense of sincerity shines out in every page. She has it packed with her cheery optimism, her homely wisdom, her love of fields and flowers and her own abundant and abiding faith. Gene Stratton-Porter’s last mes- sage to the world—or rather to the younger generation—can hardly fail to please a large public, Action follows on THE RECTOR OF WYCK, by May Sinclair. Published by the Macmillan company, New York. Matty Fenwick was strongly de- termined not to marry a parson, but when John Crawford came he took her unawares by leaving off his cler- ical garb while playing tennis, Matty had reasoned things out for herself and decided that the Christian re- ligion could not command her alle- giance, but her emotions won over her doubts and she found happiness in John Crawford's love. He rose to become the rector of Wyck, and in the book of the same namo, Miss May Sinclair drawn. his por- trait. And we have here an inter- esting study of the workings of faith. Through her love, Matty was able te forget her, youthful doubts and accept religion without further question. Doubt never played a part in John’s life, for he was able to just- ify his beliefs by dis own particular brand of reasoning which caused Philip Atwater, his brother-in-law, to remark that the never knew ex- actly haw unorthodox he really was.

But their in- fluence on their children is less happy.,The book does not remind the reader of-either “Harriett Frean"” or “The Cure of Souls; it is about a parson, it is true, but a different kind of a man from the worldly churchman of the latter book. The writing is very simple, without a single line of irony, but the book is among Miss Sinclair's most readable novels. FOURTEEN SONGS, with musical settings by H.

James Oliver Curwood has for- saken his northwestern frontier in his new novel “The Ancient High- way.” This modern story of Quebec province is marked by the author's interest in the romantic past and in the descendants of old world culture sturdily growing up in America. “The Ancient, Highway” dramatizes all that an old road can suggest of human progress, romance and ad- venture. . . , Edith Wharton's novel, “The Mother's Recompense,” is a best-seller both in this country and in England.
