David goes to Esrpt to straighten out the estate of cade Benn. David’s manner of deal ing with tha authorities In Egypt so Impresses Prince Kald. the reigning monarch, with hli thorough honesty ind clean dealings, that soon after meeting David Clarldge Prince Kald topolnts thla straightforward, honest Englishman his confidential adviser, sbove the heads of all other sub- rulers In Egypt. It thep becomes a itruggle between an honeat,' straight forward Englishman and the wily, un- icnipulous Orientals, and, as the read er will see. there was a great deal hap- pe £«ri(l Clarldge was an orphan, grandson of Luka Clarldge, son of Mer cy Clarldge and of the earl of Egllng- ton, who had mnrrled Mercy Clarldge eecretly and under an assumed name. David being the first bom son. was, 'tfter the death of the earl, his heir to titles and estates, but his grand father, Luke Clarldge, disliking the old earl eo thoroughly, never discloses to David his parentage, and the latter i goe« through life’ with his mother's name. The old carl, after the death of bis first wife, Mercy Clarldge, mar- rlei again; there is also a son by this ninrrlaaro, who omes the earl of Egllngton,.David’s rtjfhtful title by priority of birth. This young man be comes under secretary for foreign af fairs of England. When David was in Egypt for the first time he rescued a lovely woman from tbs Insults of a villain, but he had to kill the villain to do It. The villain Was the brother of .Vahoum Pasha, this lattar being one of the officials whom David, by accept ing office In Egypt, has superseded. Nahoum Pasha hides his knowledge of David's act, secures an under place In Egyptian councils by David's help, and becomes the latter's undying and un forgiving enemy In eecret. The earl of Egllngtoti having married the wom an, Hylda Maryon, whom David had rescued, nnd the earl learning of Da vid's rightful claim to his titles, be- tomes In England, aa the under secreta ry for foreign affairs, the enemy of all . the schemes for Egypt's welfare that j David endeavors to put Into execution.

WILL IRWIN. Author of "The City That Was." Egllngton blocks In every way possible anything that "David endeavors to do. That, then. Is the rather Intricate-plot of the book. David hopelessly loves Hylda, of course; his half-brother’s wife. She loves him, too, and pleads with the earl to rescue David when he had been surrounded by the rebel tribes In the Soudan. David gets Into all kind* of trouble, but always gets out by the simple honesty of bis plans and tonality, and Just when. David Is ut to bo killed In the Soudan, Na houm Pasha relents In his vindictive ness. sends him help of' 4,000 troops and David returns to Cairo to be re instated aa favorite adviser to Prince Kald. He finds Hylda, the duchess of ..Ington, In Egypt, to welcome him back from death. He finds the earl dead, and he Is David, tho earl, now— In fact, the book ends In a way to plsase tho most sentimental reader. The book Is written In a moat charm ing style. It Is a piece of delightful lit erary composition. It Is tar ahead of ■The Right of Way” In Its English con struction. There Is a very pleasing character, 'Thomas Tltman Lacey, of Chicago,” In t|ic book, who becomes David's nearest friend and helper. La- SIR GILBERT PARKER.

If the marques had thought of going Into Spain before, he was decided now, for was not Lady Vale also going there, In attendance on Princess Ena? Why. of course. Now, where. the heavy villain conies In, Just hero: The duke of Cormona (not Cambolla of "Wang" fame) loves Lady Vale and has made up his mind marry her wtlly-nllly. Tho marques says the duke shall not have her. ev If he has to r^arry her himself, there you are. The duke starts out with Lady Vale and ner Mlchacvellian mother, who wants Lady Vale to marry the duke, and taking up en route the duke's mother, they make a llylng trip through Spain, followed (you can wager and pretty closely, too) by Dick Waring and the marques. Tho book then la an account of this trip. Tho duke holds the knowledge of the Marques de Casa Triana’s proscribed trip Into Spain; at tempts to stop the marques a number of times, but of course the hero tolls the villain. Now, Dick Waring has to be furnished with a sweetheart, so the authors put Into the pursuing party np Irish-Spanlard, Mr. O'Donnell, and hi lovely daughter, who assist the mar ques—pretty well too—In trying to find Lady Vale, Bo you see there are the duke and hla party trying to elude the marques nnd his party, for tho duke learns that Lady Vale fell In love with the marques as quickly as did he with her. As the map lh the front of the bonk shows, these two motor ears cor ered the whole middle part of Spain a the' rates of speed varying from two miles to 200 miles an hour—more or less. The book 1s much better than anything Ihe two yrilllamsons have written before. One good thing about their book Is the descriptions of the country and the historic points df value to which they call'attention. It Is ■ little bit "gulde-booky,". but not dls pleasing. "The Car of Destiny” Is really very Interesting. There Is ' not much to ft, only th* recital of a motor car trip, the trials of the roads and the country through which the car* pass and a few striking Incidents of adven ture, all making up a good, light, pros< pectlve "best seller,” The book will sult'a great majority of readers, for Is Interesting, and lifter all, what else should we want In a book these days? A great deal, say some people, but no many. Tho beautiful sights of Spalt are well described In the story. The book le really Instructive In a pleasing way, and while moat of us for a long time have held In under great restraint (longer than It has beeil pleasant), the time has come to state, and that plain ly, that even fn best-seller novel! there must be some limits to the flattering descriptions of kings and queens and such. Of course over In this country wo have not aa yet Been the young king of Spain, a* no doubt the Williamsons have, but we have Been what are said to be good photographs of him and of hi* queen. All of us are perfectly willing, If It glvea anybody pleasure, to admit that the young king Is a harm less, good-hearted, , tWo-cnndle-power young chap, but when books try to tell us of his noble bearing, hie face glow ing with Intelligence and charm—well, Southern lExpress Gompany MONEY ORDERS TIIE BEST WAY TO REMIT MONEY.

Lacey always concluded his conversations with everybody thus; “Well, give my love to the girls." whether there were nny girls In sight or many, os was the case In hi* meeting with the king of Abyssinia. David's aunt, "Faith Clarldge," Is a character well drawn, as Is also that at "Soolsby.” the reformed drunkard and chalrmaker, David’s firm friend, In England. Whether to please thq romantic rend ers, whether It really Is the proper thing to do, thereby throwing away tho natural effect from cause or mental bias or training. It nevertheless seems out of line with every-day life for a great novelist to picture a villain, who for six years carried in his heart an undying enmity against a man. as did Nahoum Pasha, against David, and then suddenly to become a true friend. And this change of sentiment, brought about simply by reading a letter from his enemy, In which there Is no threat nnd no danger to himself. Implied. But a complete change of heart occurs and he becomes tho frienth now true In every particular, who rescues his en emy of six years, from death. Men or women who have for thirty, or twenty, or six yearn hated an enemy do not change, except possibly for a moment, from an enemy to a friend; that la to say. In renl life they do not. They may change for the' moment, but It In un doubtedly under stress of rlrcum- stances, nnd generally oply temporary. Even to make a "happy ending" It does seem a little below the plane of a great novelist to change the apota upon the leopard, Nahoum Pasha, as did Sir Gilbert Parker. We expect "happy end ings” In "the best sellers,” and worse— we get them—but we have a right to expect from Sir Gilbert Parker (And In practically all of the pages of "The Weavers" we do get) life. The object of all great novelists should be to show us life as It Is, or how It would be un der certain ^circumstances, the latter hypothesis being solely based upon the author's knowledge of what ordinary human temperaments, not the -excep tions, under stress, would do. How ever, "The Weavers" Is a delightful story. Tha Interest holds from begin ning to end. There Is no let-up In It and the style and composition of the book Is so charming, so elevated and superior that only a few pages at the beginning give promise, which Is faith fully carried out, of a splendid piece of literary wifrkmahsbip. worthy of one of the greatest writers of present day fiction. / '■ , THE CAR OFDESTINY." By C. N. A. M. Williamson. (The McClure Company.) The Marques de Casa Trlana and Dick Waring, two young men, the former an owner of an automobile, are very anxious to take a motor car trip through Spain, when the bools "The Car of Destiny," opens. Dick Waring, the American, can go ail right, but the marques, the Spaniard, whose father had been a Carllst. was persona non grata In Spain through his name. This, then, gives the necessary motive. 'Thou ' shalt not,” to Insure ro htbiome chaps getting Into trouble. The time of the story Is just before the marriage of the present young king of Spain, and while he Is trying to win Princes* Ena at Blanrits; The princess has a friend (her* comes the heroine!). Lady Monica Vale, and the Marques de Casa Trlana gets a glimpse of Lady-Vale. then It la all off with the long-named marquea, with the line must be drawn somewhere, for we have seen his picture, and If the; ever were two people who looked more alike, that Is to say of the same ty than King Alfonso and King Alexam of Servla (who was murdered along with his Queen Draga), many of us would like to be enlightened. And a great many of us are growing more than weary or tha talk of the beautiful love's young dream between Princess Ena (mcna-mlna-mo) and King Alfon so. The truth of the matter Is that the young king had to find a wife:- he found Princes* Ena. He said, "Com* hither.” and she did. That Is all there Is to It, for politics, not love, made the match. But "The Car of Destiny" Is a good story; It Is Interesting, thrilling nt times, and It Is likely to be a "best seller” for at least »0 or 120 days. ■THE BE8T MAN.” By Harold Mac grath. (Bobbs-Merrlll Co.). The au thor, Mr. Harold Macgrath, of "The Man on the Box," and "Half a Rogue, 1 publishes today (October 6), through Hobbs-Merrill Co., a volume of three good short stories, called (the bonk) "Tho Best Man,” There are three short stories in the volume, namely, "The Best Man," "Two Candldntes" and "The Advent of Mr. 'Shifty' Sullivan.” "The Best Mitn" Is the longest and best at these stories, In which It' Is told of the love of a poor young lawyer for the daughter of a rich man, head of a trust. Into the hands of th' attorney there comes evidence vlct the father of hlx sweetheart of pretty nearly everything In the crimi nal code. It Is around the mental struggle* through which the hero passes as to the proper action under the circumstances on hit part that the story circulate*. Just when he Is about to make up his mind the mis treated old father of the rich man ap pears on the scene, takes hold of the situation, bluffs the old rich sob. In sists that the prejty girl—hi* grand daughter—shall be married to the fine young attorney—In fact, acting “the best man” splendidly—and all Is well. -Two Candidate*" Is simply the tale of two young men. one.rich, one pdor, who love the same girl. They both arc candidates for the mayoralty of their city. The rich man wins the of fice, the poor one by standing-to his principles loses thq office but wins the girl. ' "The Advent of Mr. 'Shifty' Sullivan' Is the tale v of a prise fighter brought Into contact with a minister of the gospel, who had In years gone by been xomethlnr of s slugger himself. The story, well-behaved as It Is, unravels Itself nicely, too, for th* minister wins hi* sweetheart. You can't sell a book these days, much less get them pub' llshed, unless they are strictly "lady- like," wherein the villain Is follsd and ths hero ts rewarded. "THE CITY THAT WAS." By JVilt Irwin: (B. W. Huebsch). There Is * little book celled "The City That Was,' written by Mr, Will Irwin sotoe time ago that ts selling today on the Pa cific coast as If it were Just published. 1- T I— Ik. Vah> V..*L Mr. Irwin represented the New York Sun on the coast at San Francjsco. He waa Just giving up newspaper work to take up other literary work when the earthquake and dre almost destroyed Sun Francisco. By wire from New York he was directed to send a de scription of San Francisco as she was then. Immediately after the catastro phe. It is stated that he at once sat down to hi* typewriter, worn out with the three days' work, and wrote off what Is now republished In book farm and which Is a gem. "The City That Was.” It Is a delightful piece of work. Mr. Irwin attempts to shifiv, and In It he Is successful, the charm of San Francisco before the earthquake and Is no bobk In so rew pai or even more that will give Ihe reai nn Idea of the fascinations which San Francisco ns a city and It* life there had for all classes of people as wlU Mr. Irwin's charming little book. The sub-title of the book Is “A Requiem of Old 8an Francisco," and It Is that and lore. For In Its far too few pages are escribed the alluring charm of the city. Its people, Its climate and every thing connected with th* neighborhood of Ban Francisco. Ths people on the coast (all exbept those In Loa Angeles) used to say that there were but three cities In th* United Statu anyway; HI ROOFING, LIME, PLASTER, CEMENT MORTAR COLORS, LATHS AND ALL BUILDERS' SUPPLIES w tfm, E HAVE THE BEST of facilities and equipment for prompt and careful handling of all orders for Builders’ Supplies, and solicit your indi vidual orders with the assurance of best prices and quality that can be had.

And now that tho old San Francisco Is gone, never to be agnln, as Mr. Irwin says, as she was In her life and fascination In the old day*— his tribute ts very graceful nnd timely. The lltUe book Is a gem. If a reader desires to Imbibe the "atmodphere” (that poor and abused word) of old "Frisco," "The City That Waa" will furnish admirable material. MAGAZINE8.
