Bobert Hiohens and His New Novel
(New Tork Time Review.)
A new novel by Robert Hichena the
first from htm in more than three years.
Is announced for publication on February
II by Frederick A. Stokes company. It
will be called "In the Wilderness." and
It scenes will be laid partly In England.
partly in Athen and partly in Constan
tinople it la sal a to interpret Ui beauty
interest and personality of botb these
cities aa appealingly aa did "The Garden
of Allah" the desert. It is a story of an
isngnsnman ana two sngiisn women one
of whom was of the too good variety
while the other waa not but veiled with
her compassion only hurt of another kind.
Mr. Hichena 'has been on active mili
tary duty ever alnoe the war began with
the exception of three weeks when he
waa 1U and went to the desert of Sahara
to recuperate. He la a night patrolman
for the London special constable corps a
member of the volunteer fir brigade
which is called out whenever Zeppelins
are expected and head of a aquad ot 20
of the force of defense in case of inva-
sion. Thla new novel wa written in auch
moment Aa he could anateh from the
dutlea imposed upon him by these respon-
sibilities. When Mr. Hichena was in Greece study-
ing the setting for "In the Wilderness" at
the beginning of the laat Balkan war he
wa arrested on suspicion of being a
Turkish spy found guilty and sent under
guard to Athena Tqero he finally proved
his identity and waa aet free.

A New Heroine of the Golden West.
Honore WlUsle is an American writer
who follows Hichena' example of "doing
the thing well." "Still Jim" published
two years ago was quick to win the
hearts of the reading publlq. The popu-
larity or "Still Jim" bids fair to be
equalled by that of her latest novel
"Lydia of tne Pines." announced for pub-
lication by Stoke February 28. There Is
something which smasks of the out-of-doors
of vast n ess and fresh wholesome
ideals In all Mrs. Wlllsle's writing. Hera
Is the spontaneity of youth which comes
like a cooling draught after some of the
more sordid literature of the day.
