I sailor ON the same ship. and they find
out each other. But she Is instrumental
| in saving the life OF a shipwrecked man,
VINO has Oh his person a draft for a
| goodly sum OF money. He Is treated as n
gentleman both on board the ship, and
after his arrival at the African Cape. He
slowly RECEIVERS from the dread effects
OF his long lingering in the ocean. falls in
! love with Daireen, who reciprocates. and
is very happy But he Is tortured with
! the knowledge OF his previous evil life,
and resolves TO amend 1t completely for
her sake. But one OF his old Australian
boon companions turns up there, and they
recognize each other. Oswin Markham
thinks he has got rid OF the blabbing Des-
| nard nv having shipped him of to dis
| tant mort. But Despard did not depart.
and finally made known who and what
Markham had been-a married man, nd
OF a very dlssolute character. Daireen's
heart Is crushed; but on its rebound she
meets her young lover. Standish Macna-
mara. and bids him hope. Her father is
already befriending him. He is de-
scendant from the ancient kings Of Mum
ster. and his oyerproud, dilapidated old
father Is one OF the amusing asinines Of
the volume; but he Is not the only one.
A Afrs. Crawford and Mr.. GlastOn may
be placed in that class. She Is Daireen's
chaperon on the long voyage, and is Of
good service TO her In UNFOLDING her
courage in regard 10 the recovery OF
her father. But she has a penchant FOR
match-makin and tries 10 bring about
love affair between her protegee and
Glaston who Is an aesthetic and artistic
caricature OF oscar Wilde. Glaston en-
cages himself after they get 10 Cape
Town TO a vivacious woman, whom Mrs.
Crawford despises and vilifies.
we hope that Standish's constancy was
rewarded by Daireen, and that they en-
ioved unalloyed happiness together
Mr. Moore being native OF Ireland and
having gpent some time I'm South Africa,
was well qualified for the successful exc
cution Of this entertaining work.

16mo. Pages, 81. Sl.25.
This IS a quaint but very entertaining
little volume. describing the experiences
OF two New England spinsters I'm a
summers occupancy OF an old shanty on
the Massachusetts, seaboard. They had
come into possession, in payment OF a
debt, OF some ninety-four acres of land
reclaimed from the sea by "a dixie built
10 prevent the tide from coming in across
the stretch Of fiat lying there" Their
neghbors were plain but original cha
ractors. and an addition was made for
several weeks by an accident which be-
fell a visitor who came with a view to
enjoy a summers sporting in the neigh
borhood OF Daniel Webster's old seaside
home. at Marshdeld. His detention by
reason OF the accident made him an in
mate of one OF the neighborng houses.
and subjected him 20 the care OF one or
two female nurses, with one OF whom a
love episode ensued. She is by far the
most interesting character in the story.
and the apparent fayOrite of the author.
