Upon hearing of the sale, young Quaintance hurried to the place, innocently and out of sheer love for that hero of every reading youth. Immediately in the heated competition that sprang up around the particular letter Quaint- ance caught a sinister spirit at one point. It was sinister, all right. The letter, as it turned o ., pointed to the hiding place of an enormous treasure, some- where upon a rocky islet just off the French coast. Now that is enough for you to know. You have the fact, the treasure, its likely whereabouts, and the certainty that there exists an active concern in the matter. From this foundation of fact you are booked for an ad- venture so strenuous and shifting, so menacing and immediately dangerous, so thrilling in its ingenious satanism that the clock, speaking to you of midnight and more, will mean nothing at all to you partaking of the tremendous busi- ness in hand. And what came of it? Oh, you~ tell, after you have caught your breath and had a sip of sustenance. HERE'S LUCK. By Stephen French Whitman, author of “Sacrifice” and ‘“Predestined.” New York: D. Appleton & Co. ANGSTERS on the front page. Gangsters on the screen. Gangsters in the novels. This one, however, does not seem to take the reader very close to the firing line. Mr. Whit- man mixes his two sides of the city—the so- called aristocracy and the slums—and he knows the aristocratic side much better than the slums. At least, that is the impression the re- viewer receives. The leading character in the novel is a com- posite of the gangland leader as he is pictured on the screen and in fiction. His army of gun- men are quick-shooting and ever loyal to their chief. They shoot on the least provocation; their killings are enough to turn the blood cold, but they are visionary characters; the reader never knows them. The author tells his story in a capable manner, although some of his battle scenes resemble World War events rather than shooting scrapes of rum-running despera- does. There are incidents of graft, love epi- sodes and bits of home life among the gunmen. Abcut the only original note that Mr. Whit- man has placed in his story is the mingling of the two sides of the city—and this is the most improbable note of it all. We read of gentlemen in evening dress and high silk hats taking part in machine-gun battles, when most of the gang warfare is conducted, according to the public press, by skulking gentry who fre- quent dark alleys and shoot their victims in the backs. An attempt may have been made to produce the thought that the hero was a per- - verse superman, but he remains only a gang- ster, the very lowest of criminals. C.E N.

THE first crop of roses this Spring had the appearance of having been eaten by insects in many instances, but in reality the severe cold weather after the buds had started to open was largely responsible. Many buds appeared as if the ends had been eaten off, but close exami- nation revzaled that the pefals had curled along the edges and showed other signs of being cold-nipped. 91.

News of the Music World Continued from Seventeenth Page these concerts next season cannot be held in the evening for the reason that the musicians who form the personnel of the orchestra, being signed up for only something like 16 weeks, must (quite naturally) find other work in the- aters, etc., and the evening is the only time when their bread and butter can be substan- tially attended to. And so perforce conditions must remain until Washington shall have grap- pled this orchestra to its bosom and insured 1% a much longer season’s life—when, for instance, it can guarantee tnese musicians 40 weeks’ -work instead of 16. DITH VIRDEN-SMITH will present a pupils’ song recital on Monday evening, June 15, in the small ball room of the Willard Hotel at 8:30 pm. Frances Gutelius will be at the plano.
