lllnmelf Till IIW Life Has I ict.In a brief preface lo his new book.

"John Sherwood, Ironmaster." publishedtiie Century Company, Dr. S. Weir

Mitchell says!"A study of the mental and moral char-

acteristics of children an altered, lost orvaluably develop! later in llfo would, tthink, bo interesting. Especially wouldthis apply to tho receptive and inventiveimagination so often found in childrenand so often to all appearance lost ns timeaflordH material contradictions to theday dreams of tho years of awakeningintelligence.

"This (uallty which makes childrenwordless poet ntid Is of tho heaven whichlies about im in our infancy may. usefullycnppenr in manhood as an essential not

only of the pool but of the man of scionceand the inventor. In inidllfo It mayripen anew Into forms of product whichhave something of the Joyous freedom,the self-hor- n beliefs which are the pre-rogatives of 'that king of fairyland, thochild."

Thus Dr. Mitchell has indicated themetamorphosis of the man John Sherwood, about whom his book has leenwritten. John Sherwood.,an orphan at 3.was entrusted by histwo rather stingy andthoughtless uncles to the care of a maidenaunt for his rearing. As a child he wasmostly a pupil of black servnnt whoexercised his imaginative powers to a highand often uncomfortable degree.

Ho was a slender habitation of theromantic spirit, of poelic fancy, whichlater glamoured his life nt the iron works,making of him n dwarf socially but a manwith a great mastery of his business.Holidays? Sherwood when asked why hedid not take them thought to himself howifar better it was to perfect machinery inglowing solitude. He was ainventor and a busy, capable executive.He asked nothing of the world but to beleft undisturbed to the entertainment ofhis daily tasks. ,

It may bo imagined then how dis-gusted he was to learn that he was threat-ened with tuberculosis, He saw himselfcondemned for all his days, but the thingthat revolted him was the necessity ofidleness. He felt he could never standthe vacuity of the rest of life.

Hut it had to lw faced, so he went with acompanionable dog and an efficient negroservant. Dodo, up to a few,,crg np owned in Maine, a wildernessv,w,n nothiK l)llt taxes. He htid notbeen there long lefore life changed utterlyits complexion for him.

He found that certain thoilshls nndmeditations were inspired by his natural I

surroundings, menial pleasures fol-lowed delightful physical shocks of coldplunges and fitiijue, the pure poeticspirit that had gilded his labor over newmachines was callable of kindling to otherenvironments. He had hardly heen ledto interested speculation tipoii the trailsof his dog, his black man.' the woods,rocks and trees when he met new people

There was his agent. Jones, who hadneglected this land for years and hadbecome suddenly harsh lo the few tenantsor squatters on it with tho apiwaranceof the owner .Ions was a faulty pieceof work Much better were Mr and

Christian, who after the agent'sviits expected Sherwood to them off

land Sherwood rather expected totut n them off the loud, but was

pleasantly if inexplicably, byhis own behavior in giving the Christians

few acres and libertyBob Cairns, another neighbor, had been

branded for life, misbranded, one shoulds.iv. because noon enlisting in the armvhis stomach had not been able to standtho battle tiring This disgrace, viewedis irievooable, had caused him to beshunned, left nearly H'iiniliss It wasSherwood's part to see Cairns save aman's life and demonstrate a singularcourage in some directions, even if hisstomach had once or twice failed him

There, was ali-- more or less interestaround the man Hapworlh. who wasprettv well convinced of the advisable-ne- s

'of suicide, but was too decent tospoil Sherwood's new existence by kill

th wickedly insane Henedict Norman,whose unspeakable will was franklydestroyed without the act burdening theconscience of Sherwood or others

The book is full of speculationimagination and reflection; the

story is told in Ur Mitchell's best style.

'Mmlrr Chrlntophrr" Is a Talr AboutSetrral I'miMial Person.

Mr Henry I Li Pasture (LadyClifford) has produced another novel,published by V. P Dutton A Co , whichis likely lo please readers of her previousliooks when they pick it up this summer-- Master Christopher" is a tale concernedwith a in the lives of several un-

usual Mople. all more or relatefiand all of the upper classes in KuglandThe scene is chiefly at Mnreleigh Abbey,iu the English west country

Mnreleigh Abbey belonged originallyto the Denys family, but the seniorChristopher Tborverton came to itbecause he married a Denys no wasvorv rich and coarse, and the descendantof ii long line of thrifty tradesmen, and hismoney sat not well Uion him l inallyhis wife perceived nit only that her lovefor him was dead but that she could notendure his presence

She look her little, girl and went tothe Continent, leaving the boy. Chris- -

topher, with his father The boy naturallycot no upbringing me siory reauyopens with the death of his parents andyoung Christoplier s irip unman io leienhis sister home, '

The story now telates the working out ofthe actions and teaclions one upon theother of Master Christopher, his sisterMay, n distant cousin, F.rica Clow, theflurry boys nnd Anthony Denys. May

Thorverton was the least unconven-tional because she was thoroughly de-

lightful and well bred Her brothersuffered agonies of shyness, which ho

tried to extinguish with innumerablewhiskevs and soda; his companions wereaids in dissipation; he never improved atall, only became shyer and more soddenHut there was essential manliness in him,us the story shows,

Anthony Denys was very gentle, veryquiet, an aristocrat by birth, breedingand tastes. His mother was aristocraticbut energetic. Anthony had no energy.The (iarrv boys were of the aristocratictyi, though llobin, the younger, wasmore pleasantly daring than sincere.

Krlcn Clow had the true red hair, allcopper tints and so abundunt and heavy

it rippled from its own weight. Andshe bad the pure, stainless skin thatshould but rarely does go with such hair.And sh had china blue eyes, not greatones or Ladylike wonder as weromother's, bill cold, wary eyes that neverbunged except lo narrow. When F.rica

Clow laughed Hie corners of her mouthalone changed expression.

Not to betray the story it may be saidthe cool headed F.rica found reasons

for marrviiiK nil three, Anthony Denys,Master Christoplier and Tom dairy.Hobin's older brother. She engaged liei-se- lf

to I'luisloplier because he was im-

mensely well upholstered with money,but she did not marry him Ivrlca's iiroudand ftequent assertion was that sliealwaystnlil the truth, thus confounding herenemies, but it Is questionable if she did.

The outcome of Hie book Is as hftppvmil sin cessful as one could execl suchunusual persons to reach.
