Mr. Herbert Strang has been hailed by Hie British critics ns the only writer in the fleld of historical Action capable of tilling the place of the lamented U. A Henty. The London Graphic says: "In military tales Mr. Herbert Strang bids fnlr to prove the Elisha to the late Mr. Ilenty’s Elijah.” The London Truth comments: "Mr. Henty’s mantle may most worthily be worn by Mr. Herbert Strang.” In any event, Mr. 8:rang Is today, • s Mr. Homy was yesterday, the writer of hooks dearest to the heart of a boy. Tue India of a hundred and fifty years ii go in a subject full of romantic p *f;*iblltties, and it has been chosen by Mr. Strang as the scene of his latest and best story. Following his usual plan, the author has selected one or two momentous historical events as the background of a stirring story of ad venture. Having lived for several years on the actual spot where some of the most striking Incidents happened, he Is able to Impart an atmosphere and local color to his narrative with suc cess. The story Is briefly as follows: Desmond Burke, a native of Market Drayton, the birthplace of Robert Clive, is induced by one Marmaduke Higgle, in the autumn of 1754, to -seek Ids for tune In India. He is sold by Higgle to the famous "Pirate" of Oherfa. by whom he Is kept as a slave until he escapes by a feat of matchless daring and Ingenuity. He meets Clive in Bombay, accompanies him In the ex pedition against Gherla, and sailing to Calcutta, arrives there on the eve of Sfrajuddauia'N siege and the "Black Hole.” Disguising himself as a lascar. he finds means to do great service for Clive, at the name time going through exciting private adventures on the track of Higgle. He has a part In Clive’s great victory at Plassey, brings Higgle finally to book, and gains foi his wife a fair maiden whom he 1ms saved from tho villain. Many interesting minor characters are Introduced, including one William . . : Bulger, a British sailor-man, and o and to^ those | p a (, u 0 f Bengal. Mr. Rainey’s aecom- pushed Brush has never been seen to printer advantage than In this story, his illustrations being marked by ad mirable zest and vigor. Captain Lettarblair, the comedy by Marguerite Merlngton In which E. Ii. Sothern and Virginia Harned made one of their earliest and greatest successes, has Just been brought out In book form by The Hobbs-Merrill Company. It Is illustrated with photographs of the play and arranged from the prompt book used In the original Lyceum pro duction. The lines throughout ate capitally clever. Meredith Nicholson, author of Tho House of a Thousand Candles, has Just returned front Europe, lie reports that the most remurkable condition he found nbfoad was the lack of drinking water. Many times In many places ho ac quired a genuine American thirst for a glass of Ice water. He looked In*vain for It in most cases, but a favorite re sort which he discovered was the office of the American* Express Company In London, where a supply was always on hand. A now story by Mr. Nicholson, called-"The Port of Missing Men.” be gins In the November number of The Reader Mugazlne. Tin* fashion chroniclers nuuouhre . that Hootch plaids nre the thing for this wluter. Meredith Nicholson, the Author nf that Ini- low-drlpplug romance. "Tin* House of a Thousand Candles;” was delighted to learn of this on his return from a summer In Scotland, where he devoted several months study of the history of tartans, a sub ject which had long Interested him. He has accumulated n considerable library of IhmiWs on the subject, and has collected specimens of practically all the plaids known in Scottish annals for some literary iis#* which lie lias not ret disclosed. The Nicholson plaid Is one of the moat gorgeous of all. nud Mr. fftchoUon paid considerable dutv at the New York ciistopm house on the scarfs, dr#*** patterns, Glengarry bon nets. etc., which he brought home for nteni- Imwh of Ills dan. It will In* remembered that the tntn-o'-shnnter worn by the heroine of "The House of a Thousand Candles.” and so charmingly Illustrated by Christy, started a Ihwui In tains which swept the country. 5-YEAR-OLD CHILD FATALLY SHOOTS• UTTLECOMPAHIOH Physicians Despair of Hope of Recovery of Wound ed Boy.
