McAllister and Double.
"McAllister and His Double" by Arthur
Train (Chas. Scribners' Sons) is a collec
tion of short stories, many of which have
appeared before in the magazines. They
relate the various adventures of "Chubby"
McAllister, a New York club-man, who
who has had the misfortune to be served
by a valet who resembles him almost
exactly in form and features, and who is
one of the most notorious criminals whose
pictures adorn New York City's rogues'
gallery. His valet has escaped from
Sing Sing and has commenced a series of
thefts among the members of New York
society, and the detective? from time to
time, make the mistake of arresting the
finds connected with such anecdotes.
The character of McAllister, the lone
bachelor who lives in a club, is fastidious
about his meals and his clothing and feels
that any interruption in the usual routine;
of his life, is not only a sorrow but a
crime, is one which is frequently dupli
cated in most of our large cities. Un
doubtedly the troubles which he has are
unusual, but they are not improbable.

master ; he is forced to spend Christmas
in a cell in the tombs and escapes from
his first incarceration but is too proud to
let any of his acquaintances know of the
difficulties in which he has been enmeshed.
The result, naturally, is that he goes
from one difficulty into another, and is
obliged to assist his former servant in his
efforts to escape from the officers of the
law, and that he is continually in hot
water. The stories are told in the most
interesting way and while each is com
plete in itself the whole series form one
connected narrative.
They have much of the interest of the
usual detective story, combined with a
great deal more fun than one usually
home before the wind in Gloucester fish
ing schooners ; the author has certainly,
not only a thorough acquaintance with
the Gloucester fisherfolk, but a hearty
sympathy with their feelings, their prej
udices and even their superstitions. One
cannot read the story of "The Sail-Carriers'"
'without appreciating the sterling
characters of the skipper who is willing
to risk the shoals, the rocks, and the
howling wind in order to be first into
port with his cargo of cod, and who so
despises the new fangled models of fish
ing schooners which have been intro
duced, that he keeps his old "Colleen
Bawn" afloat by holding her planking
together by bands of strap iron.
