Bodine and his gang were on them way to Laramie, Brand had been ieected by the narrowest of'. margins, Esteban had been removed to the Rancho, the true story of the fallen Buck's reprisals and of Jose's death were universally known"; these Were facts new, and accepted as such.

South of him the Harmoa:y Range, all blues and purples now,`tan- talired him. It made him think of the Tetons and the Gros Ventres back home. But there was wine in the air here such as even` Wyoming did not know, Blaze sighed disconsolately. Well coolant; he knew the air was sweeter because of one who breathed it. He was going up to Paradise to say good- bye to her. He dreaded the trip in some ways, because it was so palpably. a good-bye trip. Pretty speeches were not intended for his tongue. So lost in reverie. was he that he paid no at- tention to the man who took the chair nett to bins.

This novel was first published at. the beginning of the century in Ger- many. Because' it attacked the dom- inating orsisating moneyed classes of the tines the book was suppressed and, the author covered with contumely frons high places. For this and other rea- sons its translation into English was delayed and only recently has it beer brought to the notice of the .English reading public. As a socialogicsl mir- ror the book is a monument. As a• novel, purely, and 'simply, it Any. i,, faults. The magnitude of the c. however, reduces tec'.m:calimperttn- tion to'a place of little importance. The author has concern i .himself with the progress of a young intellec- tual who sets out to win fame as a poet by storming citadels of wealth rather than, by seeking to write excel- lent verse. His chars- wins for him a 'secure place in The Land of Cock- aigne, or, The Lazy Man's Paradise.. There he exists on he bounty of his patrons, millionaires and their, wives with a pretended interest in the arts. For this bounty the poet returns flat- tery. Conceit leads to his downfall. The very beneficence of his patrons leads hint to think he is indispensible to their happiness. He transgresses too far and finds himself kicked into the gutter and the laughing stock of the world of fashion. The book presents a brilliant, al- most blinding, picture of social condi- tions in Germany at a time when that country' was just beginning to reap the fruits of a half century of indite - trial and political wisdom. Manch sounds. every_ note of the social scale, portraying as .he does the down - .trodden:' laborer and the vitiated aristocrat and all the types'thatceme between. Hie treatment of the aristo-. crate of commerce is almost vicious. He fights with a bludgeon and .with a rapier and wields both with devaet- ating effect.
