Mr. Tracy Is sell known as a
brilliant young writer , who has
achieved the dimcuit task of blaz-
jag out a now and untrodden path
In the well explored domain of
story writing. Instead of historIcal
fiction , ho has devoted himself to
fictitious history and his SUCCeSS in
this original line has made him one
of the most popular authors of the
day , both in America and iu Eng-
hand ,
In its broad lines , "The Lost
Provinces" resembles Mr. Tracy's
earlIer story , "An American Eat-
cror. "
Vansittart , tim American millionaire -
aire , who does the most remarkable
things In a thoroughly matter-of-
fact way. is the principal figure Ia
this story. Some of the other characters -
acters bavo hlkewiso been made
familiar by "An American Emperor -
peror , " but the scene of action and
tim course of the story are entirely -
tiroly different and the tale is even
more sbtiblfully told.
As the tale suggests , the story
deals with the struggbo between
France and Germany over the lost
provinces of the former , In dire
straits , France appeals to the
wealthy American who once before
'proved her salvation , lie immediately -
diately responds and sets out
across the Atlantic on hIs private
yacht. An attempt is made by the
Germans to capture hIm , but be
escapes through the intervention
of an English man-of-war and or-
rives safely in Paris , where ho is
welcomed as the ono hope of the
despairing nation. Vansittart be-
cornea commandcr-in.chihef of the
army , and the military operations ,
through which he brings the war
to a successful issue , occupy the
chief part of the story ,
The story Is made lively and In-
Icresting by the advcntureu anc
mishaps of Folhlett , the Paris do-
tectlve ; by "Arizona JIm , " a 'weat-
era cowboy , , vhio accompanies Van-
elttart in tile capacity of bodyguard -
guard ; by the eccentric French inventor -
ventor , Armand Duprcz ; by German
spice and French sobdlera aria
bonnes. The treaty of peace ,
finally contracted by Vsinsittart and
th3 German emperor , is unique apul
highly democratic In its terms ,
The author has made the moit
of a large amount of Intcrohting
material in tub now story , and the
few persons who have seen it pro-
flounce it the best work that Mr.
Tracy has done thus far. There i
a charmIng variety and pictur-
esqueness In the characters pro-
seated and the story moves on
its way with a sprightliness of
actIon which makes it epecialiy
bulted to use as a newspaper ecrial ,
