A DAUGHTER OF THE KING. By ALIEN F.
TESNYsoN Nicely, New York.
This is paper covered book which
has for its alternative title San An
swer to the Story of an African Farm"
The claim of the purveyor who puts
forth this romance is, that it IDEALS
with vital questions in q vital and yet
reticent Observation-Disclosures this may
mean. 1t cannot be denied that it is q
story with striking points and yet it
bears the marks of strained style and
purpose, if not somewhat unhealthy
one. 1t is the story Of strange young
girl, the daughter of a musician, left
suddenly alone in the world through
her fathers death. A little while be-
fore the end he played such strange
music, and then died-died so changed,
too. Whereat the child::"threw herself
face down upon the bed. and cried like
the violin had cried" 1t is all sad
even the authors fatal lack Of an &C.
quaintance with the parts Of speech.
