| AN ODD SITUATION. BY STANLEY WATERLOO.
Chicago: Morrill,, Higgins Il Co.
Mr.. Waterloo has already been introduced to
the fiction reading public in a very favorab!s
manner BY "A Man anda Woman" In his new
book he retains tbs direct yet poetic style Of
expression and the atmosphere of the woods that
were 80 pleasant in his first wrok. He has, too,
shown a far greater facility in plot coustruc-
ton and gives the story dramatic touches which
add much to its force. He has selected the
tariff system as operating between the United
States and Canada as his motive and has from
what.at glance seems to be most unpromising
material, developed a really remarkable story.
Original poems which he introduces At the be-
ginning Of his chapters form no Insignificant
element of attraction in the work.
