in love. But DIAYA's nature IL too noble
10 permit her 20 wreck the happiness OF
the Madonna-like maid. I" In renuncia-
ton rather than in qualification her love
finds its crown" She goes away, devotes
herself to music, and becomes great mu-
stefan. thus finding in work solace If not
forgetfulness. This is the plot in brief,
which is worked out with the painstaking
minuteness and insight Of the thorough
artist. But to our mind the chief
charm of the book lies in the
wonderfully graphic and highly in
terosting pen-pIctures Of life amongst
the homely Hessians of the lovely valley,
with whom the author seems perfectly
familiar. The names of the characters are
real cognomens: they are there to-day.
There are charming descriptions OF coun-
try customs-parties. dances, apple-butter
boilings, etc.. and not little of the hard
realism and stern sacrifice Of war and It's
effects. The author IL intensely southern
in sympathes, with the courage TO express
his convictions. His style betrays the
practiced writer. The phrssing is folicitous
and polished, and not seldom epigram-
matte.

CAPTAIN KING is well known rs o writer
of meritorious army stories, and this is one
of his best. though too lengthy for perusal
by busy people, there being five hundred
pages of it. 1t Is descriptive Of life at a
United States army post in the West Mt q
time when Indian troubles are rife. The
author is familiar with his subject and
draws an interesting picture of garrison
existence and also gives a sprlnkling Of
Indian fighting. A thread OF romance
runs through the story. A selfish, unscru-
pulous. heartless woman nearly succeeds
in wrecking the lives Of two honorable and
brave men. Her scheming and flirting in
order to cover up family skeleton and
avert her disgrace cause much trouble and
some CRIME and cost her her lover in the
end. She marries another man, however,
and carries off her defeat with good
grace, as such women usually do.

This Is q fortv-page poem in blank verse,
in which the fate of man is compared with
that of the leaf. The concluding lines Will
convey An idea of the authors STYLE and
poetic ability and also q fragment Of his
theological convictions:
$50, when man fadeth like the grass away,
Whether the bel whNron no resist be made
Beneath the shadows Of celestial walls;
In deepest hell or in tho sea'satyss;
or in some cave Of earth's remotcst bounds,
The all-pervading Deity is there:
And underneath his pillow he may feel
Tho comfort OF tho everlasting arms,
While peacefully he sleeps away the scars
That sin has burned upon hls orring SOUL,
And pangs Of past mortality become
Tho recollc'tlons Of a htful dream.
Warning his future self from evil ways
Lying athwart his endless destiny
Then shall appear the day when faith win turn
To knowledge absolute, Of love divine,
Which nils tho measures Of immcnaiiy,
And wraps tho b0undcss with i.4 ample folds;
And God in His creation shall DE known
As God supreme, etcrnally expressed
