So, when his mili- tary service s, here is not a man out of a book, but, instead, a gallant, fearless, impetuous, often heedless sol- dier, fighting battles in reality before the reader's eyes—Ilosing them some- times, but up and at it again. An in-, domitable man—Ilikely to make mistakes —but fighting on and on, hunting for wars when the cne at hand spent itself. And around Wayne are many great leaders, vivid and impressive, all com- bining to make concrete and immediate a far day in the stormy beginnings of this great country.

Tm.! matter begins in the conven- | tional way with a murder of deep | Beyond this_the story takes & course of its own. Broadly it sepa- rates into two distinct parts. The first one, given over to the familiar method of hunting down criminals such as the daily papers give in their business of reporting the news, such as the average crme novels depict. A deal of circum- stantial stuff is here handled to an| issue that picks its man, tries him and convicts him. Plausible enough—but it is all wrong as the event proves. This part of the story is a sermon, though there is not a word of preachment in it, no text, no firstly, no secondly. Its true significance has to be drawn from the thousands of cases of the miscar- riage of justice by way of the courts of law. However, to get on with the matter. The second part of “The House on_Tollard Ridge” is taken in hand by Dr. Priestly, & pure scientist engaged in the search for truth in many flelds. Circumstantial evidence means nothing to him. Sympathy or other weak leanings toward any mat- ter are out of his accountings. He is a mathematical scientist. And upon this folundation of mental habit and special training he takes up the mur- der on Tollard Ridge. Almost at once the reader becomes involved in the ex- periments and their deductions that Dr. Priestly sets, becomes in a measure excited over them, since the action is now a test of his own thinking. And at the end he is ever a shade sorry for the criminal, who surely made a fine job of his plan, all equipped with un- breakable alibis and the rest of an unassailable integrity.
