HE Scots are in their golden days OF
literary pleDtitude. At least three
have within five years achieved suf-

proximate permanency in a list of

Lyall, introduced by Revcll's publication

not read his stories without Consciousness
OF the destinations of a genuine art. 1t is
not so subtle as intutive. He seems to write
more from the heart than from prcCept from
experience than study. as a larse-tearted
lad OF the highlands. He is a master
IN the breadth OF his character strokes and
his Illusion of atmosphere is real as the

He is simple and sweet withal, and in
this stands shoulder to shoulder with Bar

Eleventh Comma nd mcnt'' is the
name of q new story, and il only
enunciated by inference. but the parsons
are clearly and delightfully."- defined. They
figure conspicuousiy in the opening of the
story. but two ofthem leave the race through
the rest OF the book to the third, who is OF
sufficient strength. But their memory pur-
sues him and throws a glow of ennobiing
contrast about him. They are the Rev.
Mr.. Burmanstofts, the vicar, who regarded
the administration OF the parish as a dip
lomatic affair. and humored his parishi0n-
ers when it was worth while" The other
two are his curate, the Rev. FOrdham
Fynche. and the Rev. Godfrey Knipe. The
Rev. Fordham has a pink nose and fiaxen
hair, and takes his altar cloths as ortho-
doXy. The Rev. Godfrey has a brave IN
convcntiOnality which leaves n desolation
OF ideals in its track but conforms to the
forgotten pre- judice Of right. He is in per-
sonality the antithesis of the Rev. Fordham
and in policy the antithesis of the vicar. To
be sure, there are many others concerned
in the history of.the affairs nf the obscure
village of Saxilton. but none are more de-
lightfully pictured than the three clerics.

though their title deeds date earlier. His
latest contribution to the romance Of the
north provinces is called Tile Seats of
tho Mighty" and therein, with congenial
blending OF authenticated fact and grace
full fiction, is woven the history OF old Que
bee during the turbulent days of 80 years
ago when Wolf and Montcalm and Brad
dock were carving a porteutOus history.
Mr.. Parker has an affectiouate apprecia
ton OF his pre-cmpted territory, and no
place or period lends itself more agreeably
to the gentle violence Of fiction. Gilbert
Parker has given nieteoric flight into lit

for the ronancer of Canada as strong as for
any other name in their lists.

1t is commonplace. All realism is not in
teresting. Young Braden was introduced
into the story too late to screen tie rea-
son OF his being. Mrs. Gouriy was an op-
portuDity for colorature, which Mr.. Lyall
shuns. She might have been pictured
strongly In contrast with the placid sweet
ness of the others. The two glimpes given
are graphic and firm in delineation, one
when the doctor leaves her on the call, the
other when she comes into his dead pres
eDce. 1t would seem Mr.. Lyall relieves
in dreams. Angus dreamed OF Elsie's plight
and Betty saw In the sleep vision the BARN
of Westerland in the eve bucht. Neverthe-
less, Mr.. Lyall stands in the front rank OF
the commeDdable novclists OF the school
which is fighting for the wholesome when
served fwith the sauce of graceful fiction
and graphic characterization.
