The Youthful Enthusiast held a copy
of "Casa Braccio" In his hands. "I
think Marion Crawford Is at his best
in this book," he said. "It Is broader
some how than "Katherine Lauderdale'
and 'The Ralstons.' It has more color,
gi eater depth, stronger characters.
It seems more Important. Crawford in
New York is like a good many other
writers. Crawford in Italy Is an alto
gether different and to some extent an
unusual person. I have Just finished
'Casa Braccio' and as I look back upon
it I see a bright and moving picture
of human emotions and movements
against a background of Italian. Roman
richness sombre and yet vivid. The
people. In their weakness and their
strength, are very real, and the glimps
es of Italian life are true photographs
of the real thing. I never tire of Craw
ford when he Is among his favorite
haunts, when he lifts the curtain on
this historic and fateful part of the old
world, when he shows us with a mas
ter's art, the deep running passion of
this dark skinned people, who love with
life and hate with death; when he
brings out in some dusky den the rich
wine of Italy, and feasts as do the peas
ants; when he threads the by-ways
and highways of the beautiful city of
Rome, penetrating the palaces of the
nobility and the humbler walks of real
artists"
The Cynic had been smiling ever since
the Youthful Enthusiast began. Here
he broke In with:
"Just stop a minute and catch your
breath, my young friend. You talk
as if you might, like Annetta. have been
fooling with Dr. Dalrymple's drugs.
It doesn't pay to get excited even over
Marion Crawford."
"But can't you commend 'Casa Brac
cio?" I think I have seen you reading
it"
"Yes. I have been reading it. Some
times, after having seen a half dozen
of what the managers and playwrights
call 'refined comedies' I like to go to
a play with black clouds and thunder
and lightning and plenty of killing in
it. That sort of thing is pleasant after
repeated doses of 'refined inanity "
"And 'Casa Braccio' "
"Is very melodramatic and that is
why it Is endurable. In 'Casa Braccio
there Is a good healthy smell of blood.
There is something besides the chatter
and inanity of conventional life in the
least picturesque city on earth. There is
poison, and the dagger gleams in the
dark. Ther is a touch of Dumas in
the romance of Maria Addolorato in the
Convent of Carmelite nuns, with a bit
of Poe's horror in the ghastly perform
ance of Dr. Angus Dalrymple."
"But there Is much in the story that is
beautiful that is not horrible or ghastly.
Are you incapable of appreciating
Crawford's fine touches?" asked the
Youthful Enthusiast.
"About all we are getting in modern
fiction nowadays is this 'fine touch' you
speak of, this ultra refinement, analyti
cal Howellism, and I am Incapable of
appreciating it. Haggard and Kipling
and Conan Doyle, more especially Kip
ling and Doyle, were welcomed because
they brought us something besides the
heated and perfumed air of the boudoir,
something besides drawing room incon
sequential chatter. They brought the
breezes of the field, the sound of battle,
an atmosphere of strong, rugged, not
too civilized reality."
The Youthful Enthusiast was visibly
hurt. "Well," he said, "I am glad you
with your superior intellect find some
thing in the book."
"Yes; there are so many books that
Arthur Peterson, author of "The
Daughter of the Nez rerces," has writ
ten and McMillan & Co. have published
"A Son of the Plains." It Is a plain,
straightforward story of adventure.
The scene is laid twenty years ago in
Kansas and New Mexico, chiefly the
latter, and there Is depicted, strongly,
vividly, the rough exciting life that
marked that section in the time of which
the author writes. Nat "Worsley, a sheep
man, falls in with two young women
on their way to Join their father In
New Mexico, and by the display of he
roism and Ingenuity that would have
done credit to one of Cooper's most ex
perienced backwoodsmen, saves them
from an ugly fate at the hands of In
dians. Nat Is a manly, taciturn fellow.
He sells his sheep and sees the girls to
the end of their Journey, which Is en
livened by a good old-fashioned hold
up. Down In New Mexico and in the
meantime Nat has fallen in love with
Malzie and Malzle has fallen In love
with Nat; but there Is a complication
In that Malzie thinks Nat Is In love with
Bel, and there is another young man
who loves Bel there Is no end of fight
ing and entanglements. Finally a whole
town Is sacked and the four young
people are appropriately disposed of.
The story is not without color, and the
easy, direct way In which it is told
commends It to the reader.
