She is of the wild and woolly Middle West—a diamond in:the rough.

Far and save her from herself. The rewara that comes to Laura througl this particu- lar act of real kindness “and charity forms one of the most pleasing parts of the narrative. The_“Flashlight Fiend” and the wicked cousin Jack Lamont contribute to the mysterious and exciting elements of the tale. Bryan Cross #s another important char- acter of the book, in fact, one who would really be well worth a whole novel for himself. His struggles after the true be- llef and his crusades against soclety in its immorality afford the author a splen- did opportunity for his forceful pen. One of the most vivid pictures of the book is the portrayal of this man’s mental con- ditlon when he finds himself accused by his dying sister and denounced as but: a hypocrite to the cloth that he wears and the belief that he preaches. putiss b The God of Things. “The God of Things,” by Florence Brooks, is an_ interesting love Story for “those who delight in that class of fic- tion. The story begins with a touch of the tourist life at Cairo, Egypt. The hero Is paying devoted attention to a young American girl and it is easy to see that his admiration is returned. To add inter- ~est to this affair, the reader is soon to learn that this man has already a wife in the land of the living. He is a New York man, who had married a young girl absolutely devoted to him, but totally un- sophisticated and incapable of meeting the requirements of a social life in the great metropolis. All that she can see in her life is her love for her husband, and realizing that she cannot avoid the duties forced upon her by her position in soci- ety, she chooses to desert him rather ‘than have her ideal love eventually sac- rificed; so she leaves him without an ef- fort on his part to win her back, for ) A FooT AND SLowdlLy MovER IT “SHE sAT N et OWINGINGHER \& FEET AND LeQOKING | | Powwn a7 ‘\ M. STONE though he is heartbroken he is a prond man. Some correspondeénce is carried on between the pair until the wife is sup- posed to have taken passage on a ship that is lost at sea. Then it is that the man takes the trip to Cairo, where he is ‘to meet his second heart's desire. He has just ‘fallen in loye for this second time when the wife appears on the scene. She had not been on the ship after all., The wife and the sweetheart become f ds and the plot thickens; for the wife makes a great effort to win back the husband’s love—all in vain, however. The story ends with the marriage of the man to the American girl, but not, however, until the author has been afforded several oppor- eaien | BOOKS! ‘sI:: BBUKS!

Price, $150. Prompt Aid to the Injured. A manual of Instruction of value for both civil and military use is a small book recently published by D. Appleton & Co. of New York entitled, “Prompt Aid to the Injured.” The author, Alvah H. Doty. M, D., is a man well fitted for the task he | has assumed. He is at present Health, ‘Officer of the Port of New York and ls; late major and surgeon of the Ninth Regi- ment, Natlonal Guard, State of New York, and late attending surgeon td mev Bellevue Hospital Dispensary, New York. \ The present volume-marks the fourth edi- tion of the work, revised and enlarged. In speaking of the present edition the au- thor has this to say: “In preparing the | fourth edition of ‘Prompt Ald to the In-| jured’ I have endeavored to make such ! changes in the text as will cause it to con- | form to our present knowledge of the| different subjects included in the book. ‘The chapter on ‘Disinfection’ has been entirely rewrlitten, in order that it may be | in harmony with the results obtained by | recent scientific investigation in this direc- tion. The hospital corps drill regulationss now used by the United States army have been introduced, besides many. changes and agdditions have been made.” This manual will not be found too tech- alcal for the ordinary reader’s compre- aension, for in order that the subject may be well understood the author de- votes the first part of the book to the con- struction of the human body and gives something about the functions of the dif- ferent organs. The price of the volume is An Island Cabin. Those who love the life out of doors, the roar of the ocean, the heat of the sun, the hardships and -attendant pleas- ures of a natural existence, cannot fail to delight in Arthur Henry's little book, *“An Island Cabin.” Mr. Henry writes from the heart and with a full enjoyment of his subject that should appeal and must receive the respect even if it falls short of inducing the sympathy of his reader. If you are one of those who can breathe the winds of heaven as they come and find a joy in the return to the rough life of the pioneer, “An Island Cabin” is for you—if not you would be bored by it. The book gives a daily picture of the lives of three city-bred people, who, bored with the shut-in life of the town, take possession of a little island off the Con- necticut shore and make for themselves, & la Crusoe, a little home. It seems that about two years ago Mr. Henry, while cruising around Long Island Sound, land- ed on a small island of about an acre and a half, between Fishers Island and ‘Watch Hill, and within a mile of the shore, just where the sound opens out into the ocean. The island was pleasantly wooded and had a small but good har- bor. Mr. Henry made inquiries as to the ownership of it, but could find no one ‘who had claim to it. He thereupon de- cided he might as well own it as any- body else and took possession. The book is published by McClure, Phillips & Co., New York. Price, $150. " A Girl Who Wrote. In reading Alan Dale's “A Girl Who ‘Wrate,” one wonders why the manager ot a large metropolitan newspaper should keep on its staff such freakish specimens of femininity as Mrs. Amélia Armberg, Lamp-Post Lucy, Happy Hippy, et al. The heroine, Sally Sydenham, is a thor- oughly good girl, but in a mighty poor way, and the she-villain is a thoroughly bad woman with an angelic manner. The men, with the exception of Arthur Stuy- vesant, are decent everyday chaps, and he is everyday. but not exactly decent. Aside from a few parts that are some- what Zolaesque, the book is pleasantly written. (PubliShed by Quail & Warner, New York. Price $150.) £t 08 R | Literary Notes. Lewis and Clark are becoming names to conjure with, and their latest appear- ance will be in a romance. Messrs. A, C. McClurg ;& ‘Co. announce the book for publication early in November, undér the title, “The Conquest; the True Story of Lewis and Clark.” It is by Mrs. Eva Emery Dye, the author of a successful book dealing with the Northwest, and those who have seen her story say it will Set a new’ pace for American historical romance. Thousands will be pleasantly surprised with the announcement, here made with authority, that the late Frank R. Stock- ton left the manuscript of a recently completed novel. It is understodd that it is written in his cheerfulest vein, and will worthily complete the long list of novels that began with “Rudder Grange" * In 1879 and, until now, was thought to have ended with “Kate Bonnet.” This new book will be published by Charles Scribner’s Sons, New York. The sensation of the autumn book sea- Bon seems to be Marie Corelll’s new ro-« mance, “Temporal Power.” The demand in England has broken all records. The first edition there of 120,000 copies was In- sufficient to supply the actudl demand and a further edition of 30,000 coples was printed before publication. The Ameri- can demand has also been extraordinary, and it is probable that the combined American and Canadlan editions have begn greater than the first edition of any book heretofore published. A novel collection, “Fairy Tales From the Swedish,” hitherto unknown to lov- ers of folklore outside of Sweden, is soon to be published. These have been edited by Baron Gabriel Djurkiou, who has de- voted much time and study to the life, the folk-lore and the various dialects of the peasantry of his native country, where his work has met with great rec- ognition on the part of the public and learned societies. There are to be num- erous illustrations by Th. Kittelsen and E. :Werenskiold, two prominent Norwe- glan artists, while the frontispiece is to be by Tarl Larsson, who has been called “the prince of Swedish Illustrators.” This bcok is soon to come from the press of Frederick A. Stokes Company. The October Overland Monthly Is a camera number, and comes out with beautifyl reproductions of the best pho- tographic art of the day. W. E.
