"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 By E. C. 8. 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 particular province In Alabama, where ao many mills hava been established. ■u iiiuuy ilium nave ueeii tainuiinuru, and the time la In tha early eighties ot last century. A horse race. In which the bishop Is the winner, forms an In- tsrestlng feature of the book, and many lines are written of pathoa and humor. A number of Illustrations are given In tha book, and the women who are spoken of are very entertaining and at tractive. 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.

Atterney-St-LAW. 812 Temple Court Bldg na.iz.n-a 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. TRY A WANT AD IN THE GEORGIAN PALMA MINTS THAI U. S.
