It is In Chicago that there begins and
ends tltls hlstaory story of mode rn busi
ness and political life; hut the charm
and the witchery of the romance that
runs like a thread of gold through the

that in the old gulden of an castle

Author of the Circular
Staircase.
The Circular Staircase, by Mary Robert
Rinehart, Indianapolis. The Bobba-
Merrlll Company. Price $1.50.
We doubt If even a mystery story was
written from quite the same standpoint
as that adopted by this writer who
make* so convincing the remarkable
events she describes by having them re
lated by a maiden la ay full of common
sense and unconscious humor. Her sane
wholesome, intensely practical way of
looking at everything robs her terrify
ing experiences of all elomnls of tho
melodramatic, and makes her ''’participa
tion In tho mysteries of the house boast
ing the circular staircase the moot nat
ural thing conceivable ns it Is Always the
esse In the real life, hut as writers never
or seldom, realise, every tragic episode
Is softened by something that appeals
to ons’s sense of the ridiculous, or by
a touch here, a word there, that are at
least humanizing in effect. Never, for
one moment does the reader’s Interest
In the* Involved plot faitsr; and yet th**re
Is not a ohaiaeter In which there are
no paragraphs over which there is a lin
gering for the full appreciation of some
delicate piece of Irony, some subtle hint
of the absurd. In other words, while the
story pleases, It Is Its maner of telling
that charms. The author lias scored ,i
distinct triumph in an altogether orig
inal field, and other work from her is
eagerly anticipated.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD
<rn flctlonlst* would receive the most
| * ordlal *of receptions; but there is a
j * y < -special reason for the continued
suer-egs of "The Firing Line" that Is non
I «■-xlstenT in connection with Mr. Cham
ber s other novels. He has always told
I us of the most delightful men and wo-
J men Imaginable, but for the most part
they have been cut by one pattern and
made of one single fine material, a. fact
which ha# given those who profess not
to admire him so very greatly an op
portunity for uiylng that he handles on
ly society puppets whose movements are
actuated neither by nature nor art. but
by u strange commingling of convention
ality and its defiance.
Now In "The Firing Line” Mr. Cham
bers has unquestionably created a man,
not b» tho person of his hero who Is
rnadd*s ingly commonplace and hopeless
ly conipbic* at, and who even loves In an
ineffectual kind of way—but in the pre
sumable villian whom we hate in tho
beginning, but the development of whose
strange, atnost Incomprehensible, char
acter gives the book Its chief excuse
for being. Louis Malcourt was a sef
confessed failure, whose erratic career
j spelled disaster for more than one man
I and woman who came closely Into his
life, yet with all his weakness he pos
: exsed a certain strengtn that enables
{ him to wring for others at least triumph
j out of apparent defeat. What was the
ultimate outcome of the problem of life
for him himself the reader In this sec
tion cin only surmise, for It was not
within the author’s power to tell. And
in this connection, one has the feeling
all along that in the creation of this par
ticular character, the matter was taken
entirely out of the hands of Mr. Cham
bers. It was as though he had planned
to have the course of true love run a
little roughly for Hhiela and HamiL tho
two select ones because of the other
wise somewhat unimportant existenec
of Louis Malcount, w»ien suddenly that
remarkable personage took matters Into
his own hands and became the domi
nant character, entangling tho threads
of the plot and making of the story
something far stronger and In many re
spect* liner than anything that has here
tofore been published under the name of
ono of the. most widely read novelists
In tho United States.
Quito asided from all this, tho lovers
of Robert W. Chambers will find In "The
Firing Line," all those elements that
have endeared him to them In other
work. Here we have the rich and tho
prosperous and ths beautiful and the
fashionable exploited as only Chambers
knows how to explain them. Here we
have various phases of love dissected
and held up for our admiration as scorn
In all their beauty or hideousness. Hero
we sen ail the luxurious backgrounds
furnished by nature in Southern Florida
an*l irtoney In New York painted with
most vividly colorful figments.
Here also Is just the right degree of
the sporting element Introduced, some
thing that counteracts In a degree the
languous atmosphere of the place which
is the scene of the story. Permeating It
ill is of course that sensuous love of
beauty which Is Chamber’s most marked
cnaraoterlstlc and which Is wholly ad
mirable when confined to the expres
j sion of nature’s mood, hut which is just

THE CARE OF CHILDREN.
The ills of children In summer are
'mostly those of the digestive tra-t.
It ts natural that thi* should be so,
since the organs of digestion in a
child are those which are foremost in
development. Indeed at the time of

that Ihe part of Its economy devoted

With The September Magazines
What’* In McClure’s.
General Kuropatkin’s Memoirs of
iho Rnsso-Japannse war, which were
suppressed by the Russian authorities
lurnlsh the leading article in the Sep
tember McClurefs. General Kuropa -
kin makes striking charges concern
ing* the cause ot the war, and remark
able revelations concerning the great
policies of tbe Russian Empire. The
fiction in the number is unusually di
versified and attractive: Henry Gra
ham's story of Charlotte Corday has
e fine roman’ic appeal; Gertrude
Hall’s, “The House of Music,” Is .t
love story of unusual quality and in
sight.
In the September Century.
An important article In the Sep
tember Century will be a discussion
of “The Future Wheat Supply of the
United States,” by Edward C. Parker,
assistant in agriculture at the Agri
cultural Experiment Station Univer
sity of Minnesota. He urges that the
United States has much unoccupied
land available so- wheat production,
that large yields of wheat may be
maintained on old soils by means of
systematic crop rotation, and that,
most impotant of all, the limit of ag
riculture’s present possibilities will
be set aside by a new limit set by
each succeeding generation—therefore
the possibilities in increasing the
world’s supply of wheat, well as
that of the United States, are mani
fold and impossible of estimation.
The September American Magazine
The September American Magazine
is fairly alive with good reading.
Charles Roman leads off the number
with “The Wonderland of Delirium."
It is a record of the peyonal exper
iences of the author, who. within the
past year, lived through eighteen days
of delirium in a*Washington hospital.
As a psychological document it is a
story of surpassing interest, and as
a piece of writing it is comparable
to De Quincey’s "Confessions of an
Opium Eater.”
Octave Mirbeau’s character sketch
of Emperor William is equally in
teresting. No such brutally frank
and convincing picture of the emper
or has ever been published in Am
erica. Not tl*e least remarkable fea
ture of the article is the story told
by Prince Bismarck (when under the
influence of wine) of how Emperor
William showed his authority over
liis mother the day he came to the
throne. A mass of new material is
also presented about the empress,
who is regarded by many who are
close to her as “the most boresome
person in the world.”

DO YOU BELONG TO THE
YVant=Advertising
“Four Hundred”
IIN AUGUSTA?
If you could make a list, in this city, of the four hundred peo
ple who make the most effective uses of the want ads., you ‘would
have a list of the most alert, thrifty, practical, up-to-date, prosperous
people in town. No other test would so surely include the people
who have most to do with the practical things of the city’s daily life
who promote its activities—who boost and boom it—who create all
about them that optimism which makes for healthful activity in all
lines of buiness.
If YOU belong, already, to the city’s “want ad. four hundred,”
you are prosperous, enthusiastic about life and the business of the
day, and are “making money.” You are in touch with all of the little
opportunities to “earn a dollar” (or a hundred dollars) which come
to the careful reader and answerer of the classified ads., and you
turn naturally and quickly to the use of the small ads. whenever
you want anything, or have anything to sell.
As in New York society, the “400” consists of at least a thous
and people, so, in this city, the "want ad. four hundred” may be
stretched into an indefinite number. Perhaps, if you “wake up”
promptly you may become the four hundred and first member of the
"want ad. 400.’

line alone —but throughout the household a general
replacement takes place—
What becomes of the old stuff ?
Piled away in garret or storeroom most likely—
and forgotten.
Why, if you would go through the basement or
storeroom of the average family today you would find
an “accumulation of discards” from years back.
The strange thing is that hundreds of people want
the very thing for which you have no further use.
It’s easy for you to find a customer, too—
Glance at the Want Columns in today’s paper
see which want you can supply—then write the party.
But if you can’t find a party who can use what
you want to sell, make a list of what you have and
put it in the Want Golumne yourself.
But took at thf Want Ads. first.
READ BY EACH AND
HERALD ADS. ARE
EVERY MEMBER OF
THE FAMILY. AND THIS
IS WHY HERALD ADS.
ALWAYS GET RESULTS
