THE Unjust Steward by Mrs. Oil
phant, is a sufficiently agreeable story,
which, however, shows hardly a trace
OF this writer's old-time joy in work,
her patience in observation and acute
ness In recording the tangles of life
and character. Mrs Oiiphant has writ
ten good novels for forty years She
mas done her share, and done it adj
mlrably, in the worlds entertainment
The time has come when she should
rest.

Master -Ardiek, Buccaneer," is title
that speaks for itself 1t is true that
Master Ardick does not choose his ap-
palling career. 1t is thrust upon him
by fate-but the fighting is very good
hghtlng in spite sof the hero's very
proper aversion to the necessity for
anything of the sort. And to speak
well OF the fighting in book of this
kind is to say that it nobiy fulfills
its purpose in being.
