and another mind conceived it. This
time, too, it is impossible to say whether the author is
quizzing our new thought transference and telepathic friends, or
whether he is half inclined to suggest that "there may be
something in it." Here is a character who suddenly discovers
that by concentrating his mind on certain ideas he can inject or
project them into others. And forthwith he sets half a dozen
couples making love to each other in most grotesque surroundings.
They climb trees and become engaged. They put on strange Panlike
costumes and prance about the woods--always charming, always
well bred, always with a touch of romance that makes the reader
read on to the end and finally lay the book down with a smile of
pleasure and a little sigh that it is over so soon.

One might run on for twenty books more, but there is not space enough
even to mention Mr. Chambers's delightful nature books for children,
telling how _Geraldine_ and _Peter_ go wandering through "Outdoor-land,"
"Mountain-Land," "Orchard-Land," "River-Land," "Forest-Land," and
"Garden-Land." They, in turn, are as different from his novels in fancy
and conception as each of his novels from the other. No living writer
has given to the public so varied a list of books with such
extraordinary popularity in all of them as Mr. Robert W. Chambers.
