Show AN OLD-FASHIOKXI) TALE. "The Lady of Castle Queer." By David Skaats Foster. Published by the Franklin Frank-lin Book company. New York. It may be a fancy, but the Impression is that, some cntM climbed up on the liners of this author just at bedtime and begged him to "tell a story all about a castle by the sea, a beautiful lady and some wicked spies; a kind old fairy, and don't forget the prince, rich and handsome, hand-some, and please have him rescue the lady from the bad men, and then, of course, he must marry her and everyone will be happy." Evidently he has done his best to fill, this order and the result is just a plain, old -fashioned story of a little girl's experiences ex-periences in orphan asylums, then later, ns she pets oM, as the drudpe in the home oi some very mean people, who turn ier over to an unprincipled schemer ziamed Morel, a typical story-book villain, vil-lain, who desires to marry the beautiful young girl, ''because o: his discovery that she Is in reality the heiress and granddaughter grand-daughter of the wealthy Mr. Blackstone, who owns the castle. After making two escapes from the clutches of the avaricious i.y tiers, Joe goes merrily on her way, dressed in the clothes of a boy scout, vrhich she appropriates while a band of these boys are in swimming. One recognizes an old friend in the htory of the two German spies, the Gladstone Glad-stone bag, dyynamite. railroad trestle, troop train coming, and the daring act of the heroine, who dashes out, cuts the fuse and hangs on with her hands as the train roars by over her head. This, and :.iany more adventures equally thrilling, are encountered by Joe, until finally Miss Trtmby, the "good fairy," hires her to wheel her about in her invalid's chair. It er character, like the others, is somewhat some-what lacking in individuality. Intrigue, adventure and romance piny rj-.g with each other, but always Jocelyn, who called herself Joe.'' and her Prince Charming, Christopher Van Zant, outwit the scoundrels who have taken possession posses-sion of the castle and imprisoned Us owner with the intention of turning his negotiable bonds into money. After numerous nu-merous encounters in the castle, which abounds in underground passa ges and points of vantage unknown to Morel and his two ruffians, Jocelyn, who has been kidnaped by them, is rescued, is recognized recog-nized by the old man as his granddaughter, granddaugh-ter, and the men are trussed up with the curtain cords in most approved style and "taken to the county jail," but not "liberated "lib-erated upon bail." as the song runs. Hav'ng no serious problems to solve, no philosophy or cult to propound, the writer merely strives to please, and to ;hat end is so lavisrh with the hairbreadth escape feature that when the aged Mr. Flack stone is pushed into the "Pevil's jL'aJdron," a seething, boiling whirlpool, and ecapes by means of some stone stes .o a secret room connected with the castle, the reader evinces no especial astonishment, as-tonishment, and when two of the villains vil-lains are pushed in by Morel and aocom-"l.sh aocom-"l.sh the same remarkable feat without mishap, the result is the same as that produced by eating too many chocolate reams. I STORY OF A SELFISH MAX. The Taker." By Daniel Carson Good man. Published by Boni & Liveright, New York. This last novel or Mr. Goodman's is t;i absorbing picture o the life of a hopelessly selfish man. The writer has a genius for realism and conveys so true a sense of life through his characters that the things which lie cloEe to ignor-:i;sce ignor-:i;sce and sin stand revealed, stripped of t. ,e:r masquerade garments of happiness and pleasure. Leonard Vernon, through his greedy eagerness to have for nimself a: I the pleasures of life, rides heedlessly over ail L;:at obstructs his path, beginning with .i!s widowed mother, whom he desv-rts in r.is mad quest for monty and happiness. That she dies alone and unloved causes ihe first uneasy flutter of remorse in a h-jul drugged by selfishness. .-lis two marriages are experimental affairs. af-fairs. The first victim, Jennie of tne beautiful form and face, furnishes money b rid position and a devotion which sickens sick-ens h;m, so a divorce Is arranged, v hen re discovers that Mabel, his unprepossessing unprepos-sessing stenographer, can give him the meniai stimulus he feels In need of. She :s thin, dark and too Intense, and in many ways she it a replica of the ador-liig ador-liig Jennie in her doglike adoration.

"Yellow Men Sleep," by Jeremy Tane. Published by the Century company. New York. Quite as impossible and Improbable as Rider Haggard in his wildest flights of fancy, is Jeremy Lane in this imaginative phantasy which tells of a strange city in the midst of the desert of Gobi, peopled by a race of selected specimens of all the countries, ruled, by the cold, cruel Chee Ming, whose insane belief is that his outlandish out-landish empire will some day be the most powerful in the world. His source of money is "koresh," a deadly and seductive se-ductive drug, the seeds of which are found deep in the earth and are mined by his slaves, dwarfs with long arms, who are crippled in their youth and forced to lives of toil and degradation by the scoundrel, Ming. No one. save the craftv old Chinaman, Is allowed to leave the city. His trips to America for the purpose of disposing of quantities of the drug have aroused the suspicions of secret service men. Andrew March, in the service, takes up the chase. For years before, in an attempt to reach this hidden city, he had lost everything; a wild bandit horde had swept down on his little caravan and captured his young wife and their child, and after days of wandering, March is saved by a miracle, seemingly. He chooses Con I.evington to be his comrade on this perilous journey across the burning sands. Their adventures are many and of the dangerous Oriental variety. in which Chinese dives, thin cold steel, hired assassins, as-sassins, poisoned darts and wild droves of fierce horsemen play a prominent part. The picture of the wonder city and its strange Inhabitants, which he and his companion reach after jncredil.de suf f--r-1 ings, is a clever vision of Imagery. The j action lags considerably while the author extricates the two adventurers from certain cer-tain death and the discovered daughter I from the baleful Influence of "Uoresh" i and Chee Ming. The etory is full of In- congruous situations and exotic thrills, with just enough love interest to enhance j its fascination. j FISH LORE FOR MODERN WALTONS j "Fishing.

A NON-PARTISAN ENGLISH VIEW. i "Bolshevik Alms and Ideals and Russia's! Revolt Against Bolshevism." Reprinted j from the Round Table. Published by j the Macmlllan company, New York. Feeling the urgent need for a plain, un- j biased historical analysis of the Bolshevik movement, the Round Table presents this article, which is brief in its treatment, sticks to facts and does not rehearse the horrors which have resulted irom tne reign of thLs group of fanatics. It Is the clearest, simplet exposition of this theory of communism which could be expected at this time, when information is hazy and unreliable, for the most part It traces the origin of Bolshevism, the misapplication mis-application of the term, incidentally; short sketches of its leaders, or leader, for Lenine is the big man in this movement; iis political machine, and its propaganda, foreign and Internal. This preposterous doctrine la summed up in the following paragraph : "Out of the existing chaos in Russia, however, one , fact stands clear Bolshevism is a tyran- I ny. a revolutionary tyranny, if you w ill, j which is the complete abnegation of de- ; n ioc racy and of all freedom of thought 1 and action. Based on force and terroristic 1 violence, it is simply following out the ; .same philosophy which was preached by ' Nietzsche and Haeckel and which for the past twenty-five years has glorified the might of force as the final justification of all existence. i "By substituting one class domination for another, it ha.s merely reversed the former tyranny of the Komanoft.t into a tyranny still more terrible and still more cruel in its one-sldedness.'
