love has made all soft and beautiful,
and SO he is not overheard On the type
writer or shopgirls he employs. He
turns in pity from the painted creature
on the streets, because he has seen life,
and he knows that often such women
have come from homes as closely
guarded as his own, aud that hearts
have broken over their sin or misfor-
tune. A man like that is probably not
an ideal man. He may not look like
the hero of novel, he may not know q
pneumatic tire from a garden hose, he
probably hasn't a single aspiration
after the whatness of the what, but he
is the man we go to in trouble, who
gives US good, wholesome advice, and
who, having few sins of his own to
remember, is not sitting in judgment
on those Of his fellow-sinners."

There is no country under the sun
richer in romance than ScOtland-ro-
nance that takes hold on mems hearts
1t is of the stern and virile kind.
One in reading this vivid story is car
ried back to his boyhood days, and
lives again with the brave and restless
spirits that made mountain and moor
land alive with stirring strife between
kings and dons. This delightful ro-
nance of James Wis time is one of the
most engaging stories of the year. 1t
is closely allied to Weyman's novels
in its swiftness of movement, but is
free from the confusion of incidents
that has marred some of the latter's
works. The Earl of Arron. one of the
kings favorites, is chief figure in the
story. The old soldier, Andrew Eviot,
is commissioned by the king to try
and recover very valuable jeweled
St.Andrew's CROSS which had been lost.
The jewel wes found but Eviot was
robbed of it again, and besides had to
fight duel with the Earl of Abrams
friend. The story centers around the
love-msking of Eviot and Jean Uchil-
tree, the earls ward; and after num-
berless adventures, tho whole ends
happily. 1t is genuine old
fashioned story of love and war,
and great relief to the lover of good
stories, stories that have plot and
action, who turns to one of these with
genuine joy after being fed for a sea-
son on the modern STUDY" which is
80 often vain attempt to make some
thing out of nothing.

EVOLUTION AND DOGMA. By the REvEH-

Mcbride e. Co., Chicago.
Here is a thoroughly made book by
a we'll known writer. 1t is q fine spec.
linen of editing, and the list of authors
referred to and the splendid index are
evidences of careful and conscientious
work.
The whole spirit of the book is as
devout as the thought is frank and
clear. The author is all in favor of
evolution as taught by science and
faith together, and declares that it is
the true interpreter of religion. "Evo-
luton postulatess creator, the sover-
eign lord OF all things, the cause of all
causes" Again: "God not only Gre
ated matter in the beginning, but he
gave it the power of evolving into all
forms it has assumed since or will ever
assume"
Our author declares that evolution
is an ennobling conception. It per-
mits US to detect new beauties, discov-
or new lessons in world that, accord
ing to agnostic and monistic views, is
90 dark and hopeless.
There is little of the spirit Of contro-
