THE ATLANTA (iEOKUIAN ANJJ MUW&
LITERARY UOfTS AND SHADOWS
By S. MAYS BALL (Arthur Pendennis, Jr.)
"THE MORALS OF MARCUS OR
DEYNE” by William J. Locke. (John
Lone Company.) Mr. Locke la the au
thor of a great many Interesting sto
ries. among them being "The Beloved
Vinbo™," "Where Love Is," "At the
nate of Samaria." and "The Dema-
comie and Lady Pharye." but nothing
which he has written before will excel
his latest novel, called. "The Morals of
Marcus Ordeyne," In workmanship, In
terest holding capacity or genuine hu
mor and characterization.
From this novel, which has been
most deservedly popular. Mr. Locke has
made a play, called "The Morals of
Marcus," which Is now meeting with
jjreat success upon the metropolitan
8 'There are some novels which Impress
us with their dramatic possibilities;
but Mr. Locke's latest story offered
but limited opportunity for dramatic
success, although the press of New
York are very general In their praise
of this dramatized story.
The plot of the book (from which the
Nay Is taken) deals with a young man
about thirty years old, who receives,
while teaching school, an unexpected
legacy and a title of nobility through
the death of n grandfather, two un
cles and a few eoualns, all at one and
the same time.
The hero becomes. Sir Marcus Or
deyne. He leaves his school, of course.
He establishes himself Inspleasant lodg
ings In London, fronr-whlch he expects
to view the world and Its disturbances
as one froni afar. Sir Marcus has a
hdv friend. This young "tempera
mental" woman loves Sir Marcus, and
her name Is Judith. Judith Is married
unhappllv and leaves her husband, ac
cepting from Sir Marcus necessary-
money with whtch-to establish herself
In lodgings. But the author makes
very clear the condition of thin friend-
ehlp. Unfortunately for Judith. Sir
Marcus loves her not. and even If he
hail done so she was still married.
While living nway from society. Sir
Marcus writes nr begins to write what
he expects will be an epoch-making
hook, called "The Morals of the Re
naissance." .Most of hla time Is spent
on the preparation of and search for
data connected with this book. Ono
day while seated on a bench on the
Thames embankment, rending some
hook published long ago, Sir Marcus is
r reeled by a lovely girl, dressed In
shabby clothes, dirty and most unpre
possessing. This Is Carlotta. Carlotta
Is the voung creature who causes all
of the trouble In the novel. Carlotta
explains to Sir Marcus that she Is tho
daughter of an Engltah conaul at Alex-
icndretta. now dead, and whose mother
hod been taken under the protection
■if Hamdl Effcndl, a Turkish official.
Itnmdl Effendl had decided to marry
(-arietta to one of his Turkish friends—
m ('arietta runs away from Alexan-
ciretta with a young chap, by name
Harry- Roblnaon. These two young peo
ple had reached safely the boat at
Ah-xandretta—Carlotta to be locked up
down below while Harry remained on
deck. Upon arrival In London Harry
Robinson. for some reason unknown,
deserted Carlotta, leaving her unharm
ed, to fall into the hands and under the
protection of Sir Marcus Ordeyne. Here
begins the story. If Carlotta had been
an ordinary castaway In London, Sir
Marcus' duty would have been plain.
He would have Immediately delivered
carlotta over to a home for the friend
less or some such place. But Carlotta
was not an ordinary young person—on
the contrary—so Sir Marcus takes her
to his home, which home la cared for
M-Antoinette (his French housekeeper)
and his valet. Carlotta Is beautiful In
new clothes—furnished by her bene
factor, Sir Marcus. Sbo expresses no
regret or sorrow over the news of Har.
ry Robinson's suicide. She Is, as Sir
Marcus soon decides, simply a beauti
ful creature without a soul. Sir Mar
cus adopts her, falls In love with her,
of which latter performance Judith
naturally disapproves and begin* her
machinations to break up any possi
ble consummation of this love affair.
Judith accomplishes this with the as
sistance of a 'rascally friend of Sir
Marcus, called Pasqunlll.
Hamdl Effcndl appears In London.
To protect Carlotta Sir .Marcus tells
Hamdl falsely that she Is his (Sir Mar-
cus'i wife, and makes arrangement*
to marry her the next day. Judith
tell* carlotta that Sir Marcus does
«->t love her (Carlotta): that ho Is only
marrying her to protect her, and so on.
So Carlotta runs away with Pasqualll,
Hlr Marcus' reprobate friend. P.-ts-
nttalH deserts Carlotta; she returns to
Sir Marcus In a year's time. Through
suffering and much sorrow, pretty Car.
lotto Is developed In mind and soul,
and the delightful book ends with Sir
Marcus' and Carlotta's preparations to
ctlebrata a much-delayed marriage
ceremony.
The whole book Is charming. That
much abused word. "Charming,” is the
only one applicable here In speaking of
"The Moral* of Sir Marcus." The hu
mor, the clear-cut pictures of the peo
ple In this book, can not be told about
In a review, but If any friend of The
Georgian desires a most pleasing, en
tertaining story to read, he should not
f J*l to secure "The Morsls of Marcus
Ordeyne."

again to buy and equip vessels of war
for the couth. The minister of the
United States did his utmost to pre
vent the launching of the Confederate
vessels of war in England, but Captain
Bulloch was not baffled In hla work
until he had set afloat a half dozen
ships upder the Stars and Bars of the
South, among them the Alabama.
Theodore Roosevelt's other uncle on
hts mother's elde, Irvine Stephens Bul
loch, was the navigating officer of the
Alabama in the destructive cruise of
that ship. When the Alabama was
sunk In n battle with the Kearsarge,
he commanded the last gun In action,
and fired the last shot from her sinking
deck. Quoting from the book:
“President Roosevelt has not hesi
tated to say that he Is proud of his
Confederate uncles In the war. and of
one of these he has said, ‘My uncle al
ways struck m* as the nearest ap
proach to "Colonel Newcome" of any
man I ever met In actual life.”'
Mr. Morgan follows most carefully
and Interestingly the whole life of our
president up to date. It Is a most In
teresting book, and If we (lid not al
ready know of his great honesty of
purpose, and of his unfailing fight for
the right that Mr. Roosevelt Is contin
ually making, Mr. Morgan Informs us
that with Mr. Roosevelt's inborn belief
that truth and honesty will always pre
vail against the wrong, he could not
do or be anything different from what
he now does and Is.
The following then from Mr. Mor
gan'*. book Is' the evident keynote to
the president's 11(6;
"He stands the embodiment of his
father's devotion to public duty on the
one hand, and on the other of the gal
lantry of those Confederate uncles
whose daring feats have been his ad
miration since childhood.”
No better or more Interesting book
could be given a young man at Christ
mas than “Theodore Roosevelt: the
Boy and the Man,” by James Morgan.

and forked tongue.
Now (he story Xfor there is a story)
began in New York, where three young
chaps, out of work and money, are
about to go to the bad. An advertise
ment In a paper calling for twenty
strong, husky young men to enter a
desperate undertaking, Is answered by
these poverty-stricken youths. These
chaps secure the Jobs and are sent—
two of them—to San Benito. The third
Is kidnaped because he had been a wit
ness to some conspiracy plotting. At
any rate these three fellows In time
arrive In San Benito, after many, oh,
so many," escapes from, death—about
three times a day. Two' of tho young
fellows are seeking trouble, the other.
Dennis, the comedian, Is most busy
as secretary of Bcatrlz, the second
ccusln of Ygnacio, the bug-named pres-
luent and Tiger of San Benito.
Now Beatrix has a lot of money
Ygnacio needs this money pretty badly
so he wants to marry his cousin If he
can not get the money- any other way.
Being up against a proposition which
has baffled every fortune hunter in all
ages, namely, how to got the money
without the girl, Ygnacio docs as nil
his kind do, he prepared to take his
medicine, which was to marry the girl
end the money. In this case, of course
(as It happens In a novel), tho girl
was "beeyootlful" and sbe again, of
course, loved another man, on« Cor-
byn, an artist, son of a millionaire who
preferred making his own way (cap
ital O to own) to living on "pappu."
All readers know that kind of a chap—
In books. Corbyn was one of the three
chaps mentioned above.
This paper could not tell you In a
couple of thousand words the outcome
of this exciting book. If you like a
cross between “Soldiers of Fortune,”
by Richard Harding Davis; "Cabbage*
and Kings," by O. Henry, and "Dare-
Devil Dick, the Hero of the Bad Lands,"
then "The Golden Horseshoe” will thrill
you. But If you do not care for such
Impossible productions, told not as hu
mor but as possibilities, then be sure to
avoid "The Golden Horseshoe." There
Is no doubt that the book Is one of
those kecp-you-cn-the-Jump kind and
there are a great many people who like
to be Jumping about, while reading, so
that as a possible cure for "that tired
feeling." one might try this book. The
reader. will not lode anything In i pe
rusal of It, for he can stop when he
wants to. So as to be perfectly fair

reader sufficiently to remember any
thing about It. except tho ephemeral
pleasure or otherwise In the reading.
Such Is the Impression usually made
by a "best seller." The hero of "Rosa
lind at Red Gale," one Mr. Donocnn,
Is very familiar to this reviewer, be
cause he believes Donovan was quite
"chipper" In the “House of . Candle
Power.” Of course, no ono recalls
anything about the characters In a
“best seller," and not having time or
Inclination to refresh tho memory, this
reviewer will have to guess. Donovan
Is staying at the country home of John
Glenartn. Was not John Glenarm the
hero of tho "Candle" story? Can any
body who reads this review, without
referring to [he book, remember this?
Larry Donovan Receives a telegram to
look out for and protect Miss Patricia
Holbrook and her niece. Miss Helen
Holbrook, who are fleeing, with money
(In the bank), from a very dangerous
brother—dangerous to these two fe
males and their money—principally the
latter. Miss Patricia has a million or
so left her by her father, Helen's grand
father, to be held In trust by Mis#
"Pat" If these two brothers of hers
provo In any way dishonorable. In the
eyes of Miss “Pat"' both brothers were
a great deal off color. So she Is at
tempting to hold this money from Hen
ry and Arthyr Holbrook, -the latter
having disappeared after his bank fail
ure. while Henry Is still very much in
evidence.
Larry Donovan takes charge literal
ly of these helpless- females In dis
tress—distress carried to the "nth''
power. He places them at St.'Agathas
school, under the protection of the Sis
ters there, augmented by outside
guards. Henry and Arthur Holbrook
had married two sisters—twins. Both
had two daughters—exactly alike In
appearance. Arthur’s daughter wns
named Rosalind, after Henry's wife;
Henry's daughter was called Helen,
after Arthur's wife. Arthur has lo
cated himself, since his unfortunate
but honest bank failure, near St. Aga
thae school and Is now engaged In
making boats, canoes, etc.
The reader can now see tho compli
cations. Larry Donovan loves Helen,
but runs across Rosalind, whom he
mistakes for his sweetheart, and Lnrrv
makes love—for a time—to her. Hen
ry Holbrook, through all kinds of per
secutions. follows his slsier and his
daughter to St. Agathas school, but
Larry Donovan Is always "Johnny on
the spot," ana Henry never "loses"
Larry. Then, too, there was a young
chap named Gllleeple, who, together
with Miss "Pat," ore. the best char
acters in the book. Gillespie, rich,
head of the "button trust,” thinks he
loves Helen, but Is shoved off on Rosa
lind, who loves Gillespie, and thereby
allows Larry Donovan to win Helen.
There are no Idle moments In the
book. Things arc happening, at the
end of every chapter, similar to a con
tinued story In a monthly magazine,
where tho reader Is often left for thir
ty days viewing the heroine hanging by
a cliff a mile high or In the hands of
the "vllyun.” In "Rosalind at Red
Gate” the reader can go right ahead
with the assurance here given that the
hero and the two heroines will come
out all right. They always do In "best
sellers.”
The Holbrook family, with the ex
ception of poor Henry, who had a knife
stuck in his back by an Italian In his
employ, become united and everything
Is lovely and peaceful, with “happy
ever after” looming up In the neur dis
tance.
Rosalind at Red Gate" will please
those readers who cared for "The Port
of Missing Men" and "The House of u
Thousand ('andles.*' or who even crave
something much better, for "Rosalind
at Red Gate” excels anything yet seen
by The Georgian from Mr. Nicholson.

“THE GOLDEN. H0R8ESH0E.”
By Robert Altken. ’ (John McBride
Co.) To prevent any resentment on the
part of any friend of The Georgian
who after reading the review may feel
called upon to peruse 'The Golden
Horseshoe." It had better be stated
right hero what "The Golden Horse
shoe” wns. and what a horseshoe had
to do with the story, for In reading the
book It requires something like 155
pages to develop this Information,
which this paper Is glad to disclose the
flrst shot out of the box. It Is a way
this paper ha* of doing things, honest
and true.
■The Golden Horseshoe" was a va*t
recess, scooped by somo primeval pow
er out of the perpendicular cliff face
which spread for leagues on either
tide of it, towering farther than the
eye could reach.
This. then, ts the golden horseshoe
and the way In which It became en
tangled with n Dare-devil Dick story
comes about from the fact that It was
located In a South American republic
governed by “Ygnacfo, tho Tiger of
San Benito," and It contained (the ha
cienda thereon) a lot of gold and
treasure for the possession of which
many Here* struggles took place. Be
fore wo go any rarther In this discus
sion of "The Golden Horseshoe," the
reader will please take another look at
the name of the president of San Be-
i*ltry. Does not the selection of "Ygna

name sounds and almost smelts like a

ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WON-

story of how Queen Victoria, having

acquainted with the other works by this
author for the benefit of herself nnd

The John Lane Company has brought
out a pleasing edition of "Alice's Ad

“THE FIRST "NANTUCKET TEA

books which The Georgian has seen Is

Walter Tittle, and the publishers In

one of the handsomest books to be
found for a Christmas- gift. It ts a
beauty. The Illustrations are all In
color and the only trouble Is that the
reader may wish to cut out tho splen
did pictures, frnmo nnd hang them up.
The text of the book is n letter from a
dear girl to hir mother, giving her ex
periences nt the time when love comet;
and takes her for her own. It Is dif
ficult to explain In a mention of a real
ly beautiful book, mostly devoted to
pictures and coloring, without dealing
In superlatives Just what such a book
Is. But If a reader desires something
handsome, something distinctive, "The

“MISTER BILL—A MAN," by Al
bert E. Lyons. (Rich O. Badger—the
Gorham Press.) As The Georgian ha*
before remarked In diverse and nuntlry
J daces, tho book dealers' shelves are
ust full up with stories on the West,
But the reader is Indeed fortunate to
secure a real Western story out of the
Innumerable offerings of such books.
When such a story Is round, It should
he heralded far and near. The West
Is so largo, and the people are so
varied, that It Is well-nigh Impossible
to embrace In a hook anything like the
"atmosphere" (there we go again bring
ing In poor “atmosphere”) of the wild
and wooly West.
Now, “Mister Bill—A Man.” comes
pretty close to getting Into Its pages
our "old college chum" (we see so often
In book reviews), cased "atmosphere,'
The Georgian's own Idea of what a
book review should he Is simply to tell
flrst what the hook Is about. Then
what Is tho author trylsg to show us
through his story. And. most Impor
tant of all, hoc.- he does it. Briefly, this
Is what a good book review should be.
Mr. Lyons In "Mister Bill—A Man"
has attempted to show us a "real man,
struggling against “predatory weafth
In his light for a real chance for him
self and his Western associates. That
Is what Mr. Lyons attempts to do.
Does he accomplish It? He does, to a
great extent. His story Is more like
the stories of Mr. Frank H. Spearman,
who write# most pleasingly about the
West, than any The Georgian now re
calls. "Mister BUI." a loving "enti
