Such it seems is the case with Edwin Arlington Robinson, who, his publishers report, is spending the summer at Peterborough, the Macâ€" Dowell colony, where he has done most of his poetic work.

It will be interesting to hear a new voice in the familiar chorus. Summer is the time for mystery stories. A hot night, a ‘buzzing mosâ€" quito, and sleep which eludes one‘s grasp and might therefore as well be driven definitely hence by a hairâ€" raiser. "The Mystery of the Blue Train" by the famous Agatha Christâ€" ie, whose royalties must make an enâ€" viable littfe sum each year, is such a hairâ€"raiser. Or perhaps not exactâ€" ly that for the initiate; a single murâ€" der may scarcely stir the hair of those who live in a perpetual atmosâ€" phere of fictitious crime. Pm ols en ee ie een And the mystery of the “Blue{ Train," the millionaires‘ special run| between Calais and the Riviera, hangs ‘ on a single murder. Poor deluded Ruth Kettering traveling with her! famous rubies to meet her lover is murdered en route. No one is par~$ ticulariy sorry, except her still more deluded father, certainly not her un-{ forgiven husband. A wonderful detective is on the train and takes up the case with the hindrance, as usual, of the infallibly wrong police: All we‘have to do from then on is to disagree with the police, suspect the most impeccable of the characters and the mystery is solved. Yet the fun comes from the fact that we never do suspect that noble straightforward creature, and so are as much.in the dark as anyâ€" one except perhaps the corpse. This outline is not meant to convey that the story is uninteresting, it is exâ€" ceedingly so, as the statement that it banisbed heat, the mosquito and sleep will prove. "THE MYSTERY OF THE BLUE TRAIN® The most interesting thing about a mystery story to me, is the atmosâ€" phere of doubt, of treachery, of crime, which it builds upâ€"so that the ring of your bell means a robbery if not an attempted murder, and you don‘t dare leave your room to get a drink of water. Then as you follow on touthe end, and the mystery is solved. you regain your composure, order returns to the world, the law takes its course, mankind is protected against itself and you go to bed.
