This is’ history, not romance. It is doubtful, however, if any romance could project stranger or more exciting mat- ters than are held here in this sober| historical accounting of the pirate in his rise, his meteoric career nd final downfall. In the early davs the profes- sion was a perfectly legitimats one. The Phoenicians were pirates, and 80 were the Greeks and the Romans and the Norse Vikings. A bold man in those days having secured a ship, went a-pirating much as the knights ashore mounted their steeds and fared forth for adventure. Splendid seamen and great fighters were no doubt born of & business that passed gradually into dis- repute and that came, finally, to be clagsed as wholly outside the law. From authentic history the author traces the course of these marauders of the sea. Along the way Innumerable tales gather of these bold buccaneers and their amazing exploits. One finds here the stery of the famous or infamous, L'Oilonais. And following this is an ac- count of the notorious Morgan, “the worst and greatest” of the sea robbers. Here is the true story of Kidd. the be- loved pirate of everybody’s childhood The South Sea pirates and the Barbar: corsairs fill exciting chapters here. Ome of the most interesting of these exciting records has to do with the L tes— Jean and Pierrc—who, as a matter of fact, were patriots ruther than pirates, although they fell under the punishment that in their day was measured out to lawless seamen. It is possible tha there may be a romance based on_ this stirring theme that is more thrilling than this authentic report. One does not think so, however. Indeed, it would be hard to find a more thrilling and e citing story thun iz made from this hi torical survey of the pirate in real life. DESOLATE SPLENDOR. By Michael adleir, author of “Privilege.” etc New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons. A romance of quality whose baekground is the English land tradi- ion and the precedence of the eldest son in perpetuating that tradition. Against this background is complex set of human motive these. ister {n its effect, is a mother's love for the son younger by a few hours than the twin who clearly takes ran as the elder. a fierce jealousy that in the course of time becomes an obsession working out in lines of melodramatic effect. Despite the slight overstrain producing thi fect the high quality of the work is not let down. The desolation suggested by the title combines with an_element of actual wickedness here to give a depth of gloom to the major part of this ro- mance. In lighter vein, though never really light at any time. is the love of a voung girl for her gua who is the ldest £on of this dark house. The girl.! too. becomes included in the efrange mothers wrath and hatred. And very real dangers surround her. The ch: ter of these hos the inteneity of th s and the meas- ures she employs to satisfy them move the store back into an earlier period of both life and literature. But it is all very splendidly conceived and projected. 50 that even though one feels Nhimself to be & little out of the present. he is, nevertheless, carried along captive by the strength and originality of this plan_and by the high degree of finish report of a committee | in Which it is executed. By Eliza New York: SWINGING LANTERN! beth Crump Enders. D. Appleton & Co. The distinction of “Swinging Lan- terns” and its clear interest lie in the fact that by way of it an observ- ing, intelligent and sympathetic wom- ells what she herself gathered hina in & year of first-hand e perience with' that count Just skimming off the top of thinge Ch nese, and this is all that the author claims to have done. Sensitive and communicable, however, she is able in this superficial confact to draw off vivid pictures of some char- acteristic feature of the country, the look of the land itself, the appear- ance of the people at home, their customs, their occupations, their per- sonal attitude toward the stranger and outsider. In the good company of thix writer one goes sightseeing in Shanghai and Soochow and Peking. each peculiar to iteelf, all different in form and spirit from one another. With her one takes the river trip to Nanking and one across country to the hille in the west. all along the way seeing hundreds of char- acteristic and interesting scenes. There is a good deal of delightful artistry here, all of which is Lased primarily, on the unpretentious plan of passing on to readers the curious and interesting experiences through which the author herself passed in this twelve monthe in China THE RETURN OF FRANK CLA- MART. By Henry . Rowland. author of “Duds,” ete. New York: Harper & Bros ‘This romance of modern smuggling leaps ahead of the present activity of the rum runmers and huilds its complex action around a gigantic scheme to introduce narcotics into this country to the vast enrichment of the leadery of the enterprise. T adventure moves back and forth he- tween a lone spot on the coast of ew Jersey and New Yo Ou one e are the comspirators. low und esperate fellows working for Lire at_the hands of a capable and un- scrupulous leader. On the othe are those who, under the law. are trying to discover the plot and get a hand upon the ones responsible for it. Among the latter is Frank Clamart, himgelf once on the outside of the law, @ fact that is used to suspend the action now and then, hnldm¥ it in the uncertainty of some- thing Iike suspicion against Clamart. In betwéen these two forces is a certain rich man whose support each is trying to secure. Upon this found tion the author has built an uncom- monly substantial romance of crime and mystery and swift changes. and, finally, a romance that ends, as a proper romance should, with the hap- piness of an engaging pair of young folks. Tt however. the hunting down and putting to rout the opium squad itself that, together with the @ personality and character of Frank | Clamart, give the adventurs its keen zest of interest. THE SHAME DANCE: And Othe, Stortes. By Wilbur Daniel Steele. New York: Harper & Bros, A dogen short stories, any one of which demonstrates the author's con- structive skill in the art of short- atory telling. Together, they serve to emphasize this fact while they at the same time give abundant evi- dence of Mr. Steele's originality of outloek, of an uncommonly keen sen- sitiveness to the drama of a situation, of an imagination that Is rich and vivid. Owing to the themes chosen for this group of stories the effect of them, taken together, is exotic, and yet, of the alien and the strange is linked to the reader's deep interest through the unity of the common human na- ture which, at bottom, shapes and perfects these various situations and themes.

Having made this super-sleuth, the average author falls back upon the practice of letting George do it—leaving the entire busi- ness in the hands of this prince of detectives.
