"All for the Love of a Lady," by
Eleanor McCartney Lane. D. Appleton
ft Cg.
This charming book Is from the pen
of the same author who gave to the
reading public that equally delightful
story, ‘‘Nancy Stair." The book Is II
lustrated in an attractive way and
telle of a fascinating girl, the daugh
ter of His Orace of Carfroe, with the
scene laid In the time of the Stuarts,
and has for the hero the Duke of Lor'
ralne, who madly loves the heroine.
The humorous lines and dialogues are
clever and Intereating, and deal with
captivating subjects throughout the
book. The story Is as light and os
dainty as could possibly be Imagined,
and Just what one expects from such
writer as Mrs. Lane. Many Southern'
era have had the pleasure of meeting
Mrs. Lane at Asheville, N. C., where
she goes during some portion of the
spring snd summer and spends several
weeks at the Battery Park hotel. To
all she at once Is charming and at
tractive, and her conception of human
Ity, and life In general, Is always most
Interesting to her listeners and read
ere.
"The Incomplete Amorist.” By FV
Nesblt. From Dnubleday, Page ft Co,
Tho heroine of this bright story It
Betty Desmond, a vary bonny and at
tractive English girl, who undsrtaksa
to live a student’s life In Paris, and
goes to that bohemian city to reside
there without a chaperon. Her early
life had been one ef extreme monotony,
spent In a quaint English village, and
shs was constantly wishing for aoms-
thlng unusual to happen to give her a
taste of the outside world. She lived
with her step-father at the rectory In
the village, and she found little to
amuse her. Unconsciously one day,
she wandered through the woods which
had been her favorite spot, and found
an artist, young and good-looking, who
asked to paint her Into his picture, and
tells hsr his name Is "Eustace Ver
non." She promises to meet him each
day gt this same place to complete the
picture. After a while Vernon leavee
for Paris, and begins his studies of
life there. Shortly afterwards Betty
goes to Paris and meets up'with her
former sweetheart of tha forest and
their love affair begins again. She
has many serious steps to decide In
her new life, and makes a few simple
mistakes which cause her some uneasi
ness, but at the right and proper time,
Her high-minded and kind-hearted aunt
arrives on the scene and with the rec
tor takes Betty Desmond back to tha
village. She leaves Vernon In Paris,
but he writes such appealing letters
that Betty bellevee he has done with
Incompleteness, nnd persuades her
aunt to return with her to Paris. The
aunt. Alias Julia Desmond, returns to
Paris, but It Is greatly against her will.
Of course, Betty thinks her sweetheart
Is pining and missing her and she
visits his studio expecting to find him
adoring her picture, but the scene when
she opened the door was far dltfsrent
from hsr expectation. She softly dossa
the door and without hla knowing of
her presence, returns to England, and
writes him a very curt refusal, and
Vernon never knows ths reason why.
until some time afterward, when Betty
1s married to another man, he meets
and asks Julia Dfsmnnd for the reason,
and he Is prtmiptly Informed of all
facts. He then asks a woman who
loves him In hla Incompleteness, and
he Is made a better man from his Its'
son taught him by Betty.
"The Wire Tappers." By Arthur
Stringer. Little, Brown ft Co.
The writing and development of this
particularly clever and entartalnlng
story I* from the pen of a smart Can
adian, and the Illustrations are most
attractively done by Arthur Williams
Broom. Mr. Stringer Is remarkably In
telligent In the portrayal of a hew>,
who Is a telegrapher and electrical In
ventor, who has become a party to a
daring wire-tapping conspiracy against
a pool room. Although the subject of
the novel may not be considered an
uplifting one. It Is conceded to be a
very timely and Interesting one, as It
Is known that pool room wire tappers
cleaned up $50,000 In New York on the
day that this book went to press. The
heroine le Frances Chandlir, an aris
tocratic, high-bred English girl, who
haa come to America to live, and who
finds a situation In a Now York bucket
shop. Tho hero. Jim Durkin, meets ths

heroine In this place and they both
meet under a chain of circumstances
and begin their business Interests to
gether. They love one another with
an unselfish devotion, which Is the
strongest point of this story, and saves
tha day for the book, which deals of
crime from a purely ethical standard.
The story as related by Mr. Stringer, Is
one which Is at once Ingenious, and
shows that he possesses a very expert
knowledge and Idea of electricity.
"The Master Man."—From the John
Lane Publishing Company.
This Is the first book to appear anon
ymously In quite a long time, as au
thors are usually eager to become
known as soon as possible. The scene
Is laid In Albemarlt county, Virginia,
and near to that of the University of
Virginia, and Is evidently told by one
who Is born a Virginian, and thorough
ly capable of relating Virginia life. Dr.
McIntyre, the hero of the book. Is a
strong and Intallectual character, lend
ing his Influence and his personality to
the entire story. Thle character sketch
carries with him many lessons In hu
man every day life, and has a fine and
uplifting moral In duty, directness of
purpose and simplicity In purpose. The
story holds the attention to the end,
and carries a tenderness and an ap
pealing chord to every heart. The
characters are: Marguerite, the doc
tor's niece, nnd her sweetheart, Don
Haskell, and his father, the rector, and
hla mother. Amos Neal and Nettle
Jones complete the story. Strangely
simple and full ot understanding Is this
book, and there ara no exciting compli
cations which are to be found In all
othera> of thla day. The author has
placed upon the book shelf a book
which appeals to the reader through
very different channels, and there Is
not a tense excitement and anxiety ot
inlnd In the reading thereof.
‘Jack Derringer."—By Basil Lub
bock. From E. P. Dutton * Co.
In Jack Derringer Is found an Eng
lishman of a brave and noble type.
The story runs along the lines of a
sailing ship, upon which Is a crew
composed of men of all nationalities.
The tale is told of sea life as It really
Is, and none of the hardships and
struggles are forgotten. A small vein
of sentiment runs along toward the end
of the story and adds a touch of the
romantic to the situation.
“The Bishop of Cottontown."—By
John Trotwood Moore. From John C.
Winston ft Co.
This book Is decidedly apropos of
the child labor bill which has just been
deals entirely
the South, and
recites- the abuses and evils of child
labor. The bishop Is portrayed as an
Influential and wealthy cltlxen of his

Mias Frances Baird, Detective."—
By Reginald Wright Kauffman. From
L. C. Page ft Co.
The name of this book would la It
self almost Instantly drawn one’s at
tention to the reading matter, as It
certainly holds and galna the admira
tion of one who Is iond ot ths highly
flavored detective stories. Miss Fran
ces Baird was In tHe employ of Ik New
York detective bureau, and at .her first
ftw assignments she made blunders of
them all. and upon the last chance she
had to prove her ability; she made
, rood. It haa been said that the author,
teglnald Kauffman, Is running "Mlae
Anna Katharine Green" ft close sec
ond In detective story writing. Ths
story ts told of a very wealthy family,
who owned a country estate on the
Hudson, whose eldest son Is to be mar
ried, and Miss Baird Is sent to hover
the work. Two mysteries happen at
the ante-nuptial dinner and reception,
and the revelation of her exciting ex
periences Is splendidly worked out.
The Sin of George Warrener."—By
Marie Van Vorst. From tha Mactnll-
n Company.
The world-wide public always re
members a story like unto this sin of
Oeorge Warrener, as It le a book of
modern society life with the scene
laid In New Jersey. While we may not
consider our liking for the Warreners,
still we are forced to believe that such
people exist In every day life, and some
circumstance Is constantly a reminder
that somewhere, In this universe, such
people do really occupy a place. The
woman of the book, Gertrude War
rener, was such as you may have »s
your next door neighbor, a married
belie, who loves and demands admira
tion from mankind, and she meets Paul
McAllister, a man of birth and wealth,
who.Is visiting his sister, Mra Bel
lamy. The usual thing happens, where
a woman has little to do, and Gertrude
Warrener begins to wish for fine
clothes, so that she njay be among
those present at the social affairs given
by the 400 of this New Jersey town.
George Warrener commanded a verf
small salary, and the sin he commit
ted was for the sake of the silly wom
an whom he loved and worked for, and
who saw lit to deceive him by disloy
alty.
"Superseded."—A very light and
frothy tale told by May Sinclair, nnd
was written before the success of "The
Divine Fire." It was printed In Eng
land first as 'Two Sides of a Ques
tion," but has appeared In America
under the title of "Superseded." The
book Is from ths publishing house of
Henry Holt & Co.
In the September Ladles' Home Jour
nal there Is nn article which Is certain
to prove most Interesting to all South
ern people. It Is a sketch of the Con
federate museum, located at Richmond.
Va., with photographs accompanying
the article. Miss Edith Carter Bever
idge has arranged this acceptable work,
which has marked her as a very talent
ed young woman. The photographs
are a reproduction of the exterior nnd
Interior of the museum. To on# who
has never visited this famous place ths
article Is entertaining; and certainly
to one who haa visited within Its walls
and been shown the relics of the Con
federacy, the pictures and sketches are
very Instructive and are pointing out
the historic value of the museum. The
museum wan once the mansion of the
Confederate president. Jefferson Davis,
and was built In 181#. In 1832 It was
bought by the city of Richmond for the
use of the Confederate government,
and was occupied an the executive
mansion until the night of April 2.
1855, when President Davis and his
family left the place. On June 3, (834,
It waa given as the museum.
"The Fighting Chance."—By Robert
Chambers. From D. Appleton ft Co.
In the opinion of the writer, Robert
Chambers has given his best to the
public In the writing of "The Fighting
Chance.” It Is a strong story of lore
and moral, nnd touches splendidly
upon the subject of heritage, bringing
out the fact most dearly that a per
son can by his or her own moral
strength nnd courage light the cause
and the result of Inheritance of the
drink or drug habit. In Stephen 61-
ward Is found a decidedly clever, smart
and lovable fellow, who has Inherited
these terrible habits for generations,
and who has been outrageously treated
by both clubs of which he Is a mem
ber of the exclusive set In New York
city. He Is accused of taking an ac-
tree! to his club, when In reality he
had nothing to do with It, and waa too
drunk to know how It all happened, ex
cept to know that Howard Juarrier,
one of the governors of the (dub, knew
the farts which could dear him, but
refused to make his speech to the gov-
ernlng board. Juarrier was engaged
and was to marry Sylvia Sandla, a
very beautiful young •drl. and the most
sought after person In Nsw York so
ciety.
Slward meets her at a house party,
shortly nfter being expelled from the
dubs, nnd after she Is engaged to
Juarrier. Both fall In love, but Sylvia
refuses to break with Juarrier and
marry 8lward, because she, too, hod
an Inheritance which she refuses to
bring upon the man she most loved.
After chapters of disasters, happenings
and climaxes, they both make up their
minds to marry, and act as spiritual
guides to the others. There Is a whole
some, manly fellow, Beverly Plank, who
shows Juarrier up In his true colors;
while the most conspicuous woman ex
cept Sylvia Landis, Is Leila Mortimer,
who Is married to a degenerate, Leroy
Mortimer. The entire book Is a pleas
ant and Intensely Interesting affair,
holding Individual personality In each
page. The story opens - ith a house
party during the hunting season and
closes the same way. All of the scenes
are around New York, and prove fa
miliar to almost every one who reads
The Fighting Chance."

Miss Ella Krels, of IB Trinity avenue,
has well won the laurel for being the
bravest, or at least one of the bravesL
women In Atlanta—ond all for the sake
of a trio of game chickens.
Her dauntless courage was shown
Friday afternoon. In consequence Jim
Tanks, a large negro man, will be tried
Saturday afternoon by Judge Broyles.
Tanks Is accused of petty theft or
something of that nature. He was suc
cessful Friday In getting away from
two policemen and E. J. Kftls, after
being found "with the goods on him.”
He waa successful In rushing through
two stores and In passing the police
men again. He dodged two bullets,
but was not successful In getting sway
from Miss Krais, who obtained a grip
on his coat and, after being dragged a
hundred feet landed the negro In the
hands of the law.
Miss Krels Is In partnership with her
brother, E. J. Krels. They own tho
cleaning and dying plant at 18 Trin
ity avenue and when Miss Krels' at'
tontlon Is not taken up with customers
she Is feodlp.g corn to her game chick
ens, which are Ihe pride of her hesrt.
Friday afternoon waa rather a slow
day so Miss Krels found her way to
the back yard, bent on seeing her pets.
Hho waa first surprised, then amazed
and finally enraged to find that the
quartet of game chickens had been re
duced to a soloist.
She then began to Investigate.
Jim Tanks, one of the drivers for the
Dabney Implement Company, 100 South
Forsyth, waa at the time loading his
wagon nt the rear of the hardware
store. The bark yard of the store ad
joins that of the cleaning eetabllsh-
ment. .
Miss Krels made Inquiries snd found
that Tanks had one of ths chickens.
She asked where the others were. He
would not tell, so she called up No. 21
The police station was Informed to
send some officers Immediately. Offi
cers Dnod and Eddleman appeared on
the scene shortly.
Tanks was still busy with his wagon
when the officers appeared
Mr. Krels, who had also been on the
hunt for the chickens, took the officers
to a atable near the back yard of the
cieanlng establishment and there the
missing chickens were discovered with
their spurs tied together under a soap
box.
The officers left the stable to arrreet
Tanks
Tanks awoke to the fact that he was
spotted about thla time and participat
ed In a wild chase. He dodged the po
lice and Mr. Krels and #hot through
the Dabney store to Forsyth street.
Here he turned nnd entered the hard
ware store of William M. Spratlln. #4
South Forsyth, and raced through until
he had again reached the opening In
the renr. The officers who had surmis
ed the move, were waiting for him.
Again h» waa successful In dodging.
Two shots were fired. The negro ran
Into the cleaning establishment nnd
stnrted through the front room:
Here Mire Krels came Into action.
Seeing the negro, eho made a grab for
his coat.
Tanks could go no farther. The of
ficers then came up .and made the ar
rest.
Miss Krels said Saturday:
"I knew the negro would get away If
I didn't stop him as he had passed the
g jllce, so'I just grabbed and held on.
ut there Is one thing I don't like!” she
continued, "after we got the chickens
the policemen took them and have them
at th) station."
It Is understood from the police sta
tion that the chickens will be retumel
after they have borne wltnes at the
trial Saturday.

FAVORS CUBAN REBELS
By MANUEL CALVO. '
Havana, Sept. 23.—In sending In his resignation to the Cuban con-
grata President Palma said: •
"The turn taken by the disturbance of public order since the be
ginning of the armed rebellion in the province of Plnar del Rio, Ihe fact,
that a so-called American commission of peace la working In this capital,
the fact that the executive has lost, therefore, all authority, while the
rebels keep their arms In their hands and continue their threatening,
and on the other hand my sincere wish that the country recover Its nor
mal state ot order, besides the absolute Impossibility of my accepting the
only conditions proposed by said commission for the ending of the rebel
lion, cause me to decide Irrevocably, and because I consider It patriotic
and dignified, to present to congress my resignation as president of the
Republic of Tuba, to which I was elected by the vota of my qountrymen."
