Mi. Chester B. Fernald, author of 'sThe
Gentleman in the Barrel" which appear
ed in the June Century, contributes to the
August number Of the same magazine a
short story-also Of the Chinese quarter
of San Francisco, but in quite different
VEIN 1t is entitled 1.-The Cat and the
Cherub, and relates the adventures Of a
little Chinese boy Of five years of age who,
with his cat under his arm, runs away
from home in search of a young lady with
whom he is in love. This story is said to
reveal-in addition to the thorough knowl-
edge of the Chinese quarter shown in
The Gentleman in the Barrel''-a very
charming atfectional feeling. These two
stories and their predecessor ''Chan Tow,
the High Rob- seem to indicate the APP
pearance of Il popular new writer.
''Hawthorne as an Interpreter of New
England'' is the subject Of an article Of
unIisual keenness and interest by Miss
Katharine llillard in the August number
of the New England Magazine Haw-
thorne subjects We're IN very great meas
ure New England subjects. Salem and
Concord and Boston were constantly the
scenes III his stories, and he was q great
delyeT INFO colonial and Revolutionary
history II is common to think and talk
OF him as an Interpreter OF New England
history and life. Miss Hillard collten-
ton is that lie was not this in any true
sense y All, and that he did not pretend
to be, but simply made the New England
ground his starting point for romancing
and tor general stuGy Of human life and
character. Her points are exceedingly
vel made, and it is probable that Haw-
thorMe himself would have warmly SYM
patAized with al that she says.
