B. Hazel- ton and illustrate Robert Lloyd’s latest book for boys, “The Treasure of Shag Rock.” This story will possess a local interest for the youths fami- liar with San Francisco Bay, for the Shag Rock that gives its name to the title page of the book is none other than that Shag Rock which was re- cently blown up to facilitate navigation in our harbor. The story that Mr. Lloyd has to tell is a tale of adventure on the Jules Verne order. .. opens in a preparatory school near Boston, where the hero, George Hurst, makes a record in a well-described field day in track athletics. The scene then shifts to San Francisco. and the tale concerns itself with a treasure buried in an island of the South Pacific, the clew to which is a parchment made of human skin. The adventurers are tracked by pirates, find no ireasure, have two fierce fights, rout the pirates, and finally re- turn to San Francisco harbor. . Here they find the treasure buried below the water line of Shag Rock. The book and illustrations are published and copyrighted by the Lothrop Publishing #Company, Boston.

There are three sons by this marriage, but even with the advent of their children Jove is not permitted to break through the barrlers of convention that this King and Queen have thrown around them- selves., Unhappy in his home life the monarch finally turns his attention to the affairs of state. It is at this period that the present story begins and we soon find the King going forth in disguise among his people to learn their needs and alsy to eventually eradicate the evident cor- ruption of his ministers and government. He joins a band of Socialists under the Jeadership of Sergius Thord and a re- markable woman called Lotys, and saon we find ourselves in a maze of love plots thick enough to please the most ‘esthetic devotee of little Cupid. The King, under the assumed name of ‘“Pasquin Leroy, rises among the Socialists until he is a recognized leader and finally at their meeting on the day of fate draws tne lot_that appoints him to the high position and duty of assassinating himself. It is then that he reveals his identity to his brother Socialists and the scene that foi- lows_is one of the strongest in the book. To add to the complications Sergius Thord is in love with Lotys, but she loves “‘Pas- uin Leroy,” and her passion for tha ing is amply returned. The dramatic situations that follow as a result of these various attachments are most intensc, and, it must be said, Marie Corelll does them full justice. It {s not our purpose to reveal the ultimate ending of all these various complications, but having had a limpse of the King's married life as a King it may be interesting to some. to See him as a man and under the sway of the god of love. The extract given be- low, taken in connection with the one above, serves to give an excellent idea of the general charaoter of the book and the power of the author in handling dra- matic climaxes. It is after the King has revealed his identity to the Socialists and again sees Lotys alone: Late in the afternoon—just after sundown— & small, close brougham drove up to the corner N bl Sigae ¥ X e (] of the street where stood the tenement house— divided into several separate flats—in which the attlo where Lotys dwelt was one of the most solitary and removed portions. The King alighted from the carriage unobserved and as- cended the stairs on which Sergius Thord's steps had echoed but a few hours gone by. Knocking at the door as Sergius had done, he was_{if the same way bidden to enter, but as he did so Lotys, who was seated within, quite alone, started up with a faint cry of terror. “You here!”” she exclaimed in trembling ac- cents. ‘‘Oh, why have you come? Sir, I beg of you to leave this placel—at once, before there is any chance of your being seen; your Majesty should surely know—'' ‘‘Majesty me no majesties, Lotys!"" said the King, lightly; “I have been furbidden this little shrine too long!

No tears, dearest of womeni To see you weep is the only thing that could possibly unman me, and make even ‘Pasquin roy’ ‘lose his nerve He approached her and sought to take her hand, but she turned away from him, and he saw ‘her bosom heave with a passion of re- pressed weeplng. g “Lotys!” he then sald, with exceeding gen- tleness, “What is this? 'Why are you un- Eappy? 1 have written to you every day since that night when your lips clung to mine for one glad moment—I have poured out my soul to you with more or less eloquence, and surely with passion; every day I have prayed you to receive me, and yet you heve vouchsafed no reply to one who is by your own confession ‘the only man you love!’ ~Ah, Lotys! you will not now deny that weet bitrayal of . your heart! Do you know that was the happlest day of my lite?—the day on which-I was threat- ened by ‘death and saved by love!" His mellow voice thrilled with its underlyifig tenderness; he caught her hand and kissed it; but she was silent. With all the yearning passion which had been pent up in him for many months he studied the pure outlines of her brow and throat—the falling sunligit glow of her hair—the deep azure glory of the pitying eyes, half veiled be- neath thelr golden lashes, and just now spark- ling with tears. ““All my life,”” he sald softly, still holding her hand, “I have longed for love! All my lite I have lacked jt! Can you imagine, then, what it was to me, Lotys, when I heard you say you loved my resembiance—the poor Pasquin Le- roy—and even so'I knew you loved me?

She has never loved you, you would say—you have never loved her. But you are her husband! Would you make me your mistress?” Her voice was calm. She put the plain ques- tion pointblank, without a note of hesitation. His face naled suddenly. ‘‘Lotys!"” he said, and stretched out his hands toward her; ‘“Lotys, I love you!" A change passed over her—rapid and trans- figuring as a sudden radiance from heaven. ‘With an impulsive gesture, beautiful in its wild abandonment, she cast herself at his feet. “And I love you!" she said.

My love for you would be poor indeed If I could not sacrifice myself altogether for your sake—you, who are my King!" He heard her—hls whole soul was shaken by the passion of her words." “Lotys!" he saild—and agaln—'‘Lotys!" He drew her up from her kneeling attitude, and, gathering her close in his arms, kissed her ‘tenderly, reverently—as a man might kiss the lips of the dead. “Must it be so, Lotys 7"’ he whispered; *‘must we dwell always apart?” Her eyes, beautiful with a passion of the highest and holiest love, looked full into his. ‘Always lpfi(l, yet always together, my be- loved!" ‘she answered. ‘‘Together in though in soul. in asplratio: in _the hope and confl- deriee that God sees us and knows that we seek to live purely In his sight!
