KIPLING'S LATEST WORK.

In commenting on several special arti %
Giles in The Century for December the
Review of Reviews says: Zone of the most
charming features of this number is Mr..
Rudyard kipNng's story The Walking
Delegate All the characters in it ave
horses, among them the tilibusterng, So
cialistic walking delegate nag, and social
moral sticks out of every other sentence.
This would sound omnous were the author
any other than Kipling, but he could never
by any'chance be suspected of moralizing,
even in the midst of innumerable moral
pointers, and as for the observant touches
OF horse habits, they are worthy of Mr..
Kipling." Further the Review says: "A
poem of several hundred lines by Mr.. Kip
ling, with the characteristic title of Me
Andrews Hymn begins the holiday mum.
Der of Scribner's, accompanied by noble
pictures from the brush of Howard Pyle.
The infinite charm and power of Kipling's
works are always battling in their subtlety,
and is not least so in this rhymed utterance
OF the old Scotch chief engineer, Mean
drews. The poem, and the editorial treat
ment of it, is bold and successful depar-
ture from the traditional Christmas verses"

He never spoke to any one. The peas
ants held him in awe. Evil stories were
current about him. They may have been
true. For Yam there was but one law
the word OF his master: but one love
that for his gun.
When the evening tea had been drunk,
the Prince, making preteXt OF having
some orders 10 give, took leave OF the
Count, his only guest that day, and
having kissed his wife's hand, with
drew to his own apartment.
A half hour later he went down into
the garden,
There everything spoke of love. OPP
pressed by the heat OF the day, the
plants and flowers had blossomed once
more into life, filling the air with their
heavy fragrance. The firehies fioated
like bright emeralds on the night breeze
to where their mates awaited them
under the thick leaves. In the grass
the crickets sang softly to their love
mates OF an hour.
The Prince took a circuitous route and

Certainly the poor Princess had strug-

its divine intoNica.ion, its ardent en-

lips unaskcd TO her husband. Must she
always submit to his almost paternal
kisses? And what promises she read in
the eyes of Alexis!
The Princess did not stop TO analyze
either her preferences or her aversions.
She loved Alexis; that was enough.
Love at twenty has a spark OF divinity
in Il. II does not even care to under
stand itself.
one day Alexis swore to the Princess
that he would only put his lips to the
hem OF her gown, but carried on by the
torrent OF his youthful love he kissed
her passionately. She fled to her favor
