By Woedrow Wilson. The Univer- sity of North Carolina Press. To the intellectual insight and ideal- ism of outlook so genorally reco- nized in the words and writings of Woodrow Wilson there is added a new element in this considered in- terpretation and noble appreciation of the character and work and in- fluence of Robert K. Lee. Mr. Wil- son himself feels and names this new quality of approach to the theme in these words It is all very well to talk of detachment of view, and of the effort to be national in epirit and purpose, but a boy never gets over his boyhood, and never can change those subtle influences which have become a part of him, that were bred in him when he was a child. So I am obliged to say, again and again, that the only place in the country, the only place in the world, where nothing has to be explained to me is the south. Sometimes, after long periods of absence, I forget how nat- ural it is to be in the south, and then the mement 1 come and see old friends again, and discover a country full of reminiscences which connect me with my parents, and with all the old memories, I know again the re- zion to which I paturally belong.” It is just this feeling that inspires the specially intimate quality of Mr. Wil- son's interpretation of the character of Lee. THE KING OF NO MAN'S LAND. By Arthur O. Friel, author of “Tiger River," etc. New York: Harper and Brothers. 1 you adventured inte South America by way of “Tiger River’ along with Arthur Friel you, in that case, have a foretaste of this new romance of the wilda beyond the Amazon. A feeling of certainty taki hold of one in respect to this author's work. 1t is a clear satisfaction to realize that ene is going along with an author who knows where he and why he is there. Mr, Friel knows the country down there—what to ex- pect of it, what to demand of it Againat this familiar background he here pictures a man hunt. The three adventurers who figured in “Tiger River" are here also in pursuit of a griend who has disappeared in this region. A part of the stery goes into that quest. The other part of it goes into that which they finally found— the man, surely, but se divested of I hiization, 80 cléarly u throw back to primitive life that 'he is:mo longer David Rand, but a complete avatar, & rebirth of ineredibly remote for- mer existences.

THEY WHO WALK IN T WILDS. By Charles G. D. Roberts, nulhn.l: of “Wisdom of the Wilderness, ete. New York: The Macmillan Company. The wild animal world is a keenly interesting world, as men like Mr Roberts, who have studied it long and devotedly, prove to us by such reports as appear in the stories of th ‘(‘P:- ume. Under the urges of life, the Chief of which is the urge for foc these animals devolop as clear & teg nique of living as we ourselves do. In- tricate some of it, prodigiously inte 5 exting all of it. By way of these wil life tales we come within close range of many of their preoccupations and bursuits. Bear and moose and moun- tain lion come into the open here, some of them under the friendly ad- vances of man, developing, for a time at least, a certain domesticity of be- havior. Here is the story of a puma Kitten thut grew 1o the ways of house and family much like a cat. Here is the story of @ wild goose that in the perlod of mending a broken wing took Yo himself a domestic mate, sternly Suppressing _any wild desire (o fly away when he found that the lady in the case was not equipped for the long Canadian fiight. Here are other torles, such a man with a gun could never discover about the ways of animals that so closely resemble many of our own Wavs and purposes.

Hawkes, autho Tllustrated by Bridgman. Boston: Lothrop, & Shepard Company. The “gentleman” is an Airedale. another one of those amazing dos heroes who went to war and did his bit with the best of the saldiers. This particular dog, Pierre. after in- crgdible service accompanied by any number of narrow escapes, came out of 'the war decorated as @ gallant hero should be. Then he eame to Amerioa_ with his mistress, Mme. Bernhardt. There he was lost for a time, and 1t is due to this particular adventure that we have the good Story af Pierre. The author knows the dog—all dogs, one takes it. So he is able to do justice, in a most natural and convincing way, to this most adorable and _most 'pathetic ereature that the good God ever made. A beautiful story. \ THE MILLIOY DOLLAR DOLL. By A. M. Willlamson, co-author with C.'N. williamson of “Vision House" cte. New York: George H. Doran Company. A light little comedy of entertain- ing intent that busies itself with the perplexitiea of approaching the divorce court. The husband, an im- Peceable soul, desiring to release an Uneasy wife from the marital yoke, sets out in @& spirit of high chivalry to give the lady “cauge’” It is this “cause” that engages the length of the cemedy. A damning yachting trip—that is the design of the good man's service to his speuse. It is here that the “million dollar dell” is supposed to outrage a virtuous pub- lic and to mive the wife her free- dom—as easy as that. It turns out, however, that the “doil” has a better engagement, so she sends & syb- stitute. And thereby hangs the tale which, in the course of time, ghifts to a love episode as innocent’ as the gamboling of young lamba upon the dewy fields. To be sure, there is a little " real business required to smooth the way for this pastoral finale, but this presents no difficulty with a really adroit story maker of romantie e .
