 Laura, on the other hand, like thou sands, unhappily, of young men and Wo- men who mistake the fruits or hereolty. influence and example for the rest results of original thought-Laura was the pure product of an environment"
 The end of the struggle is plainly to be foreseen; the event indeed has only to unfold itself from the fixed constitution of the characters as preOrdafned by thelr creator. Laura, unable to endure the sit uation, abruptly breaks off her engage ment and takes refuge with some Cam bridge friends. Thence, however, she is summoned to attend the deathbed or her stepmotner, and in the imminence of that final parting she resolves to accept her lovers faith. They hasten to the dying Woman'S bedside, but arrive too late to tell her of it. and Laura, freed from this last impulse to self-surrender, finds all the old agony of the struggle returning upon her.. Something was said, she writes in a letter not read till after her death, that reminded me of my father.
 1T was back in the old life-I heard

 In fact, she could not do 1t; and, rather than attempt it, she destroys herself. Helbeck becomes a Jesuit.
 It is tragedy with-granted the char acters-all the inevitableneSS of tragedy. But in granting the characters we grant a good deal. One spark of humor-nay, one grain of prose-in either Helbeck or Laura would have saved them both; and the lack of these qualities not only makes the denouement of the novel difficult or acceptance, but causes its development to impress us with a sense of eXaggerauon. Vastly important as is the issue at stake between the couple, their absorption in it is so intense and protracted that at last we actually begin to fancy that 1t is in excess of the occasion. pr. Fried land, Laura's Cambridge friend, quotes with approval Sir John Pringle's rebuke to Boswell when he meditated becom- ing a vert, and the great Scotch lawyer observed with warmth that any one pos sessing a particle of gentlemanly spirit would sooner be damned to all eternity than give his relations so much trouble as BoZzy was giving to his. There are times when we almost feel that, grave a. would have been this alternative to their mutually inflicted moral torments, the two tormentors should have accepted it, if only out of gentlemanly and ladylike consideration for each other.

TO WHAT Is DUE THE SUPERI- ORITY OF THE ANGLO-SAXON ?

A prominent French author uses this question as the title of a new book in which he frankly admits Anglo-Saxon su- periority and seeks to set forth the causes thereof The author is M. Demolins, edi- tor of La Science Sociale: and a promi- nent Parisian firm published his book
 M. Demolins' book opens with de- fense of the title in these words:
 Tt is useless to deny the superiority of the Anglo-Saxons. We may be veXed by this superiority, but the fact remains de- spite our vexation. We cannot go any where about the world without meeting Englishmen. Over all our possessions of former times the English or the United States flag now floats. The Anglo-Saxon has supplanted us in North America, which we occupied from Canada to Louis jana; in Mauritius, once called the Isle of France; in Egypt He dominates America by Canada and the United States; Africa, by Egypt and the Cape; Asia, by India and Burma; Oceanica, by Australia and New Zealand; Europe and the entire world by his commerce, by his

 The disappearances into the refresh ment room lead to their natural result, and young Mason makes himself a still more effective foil to Helbeck by getting | drunk and in that condition driving Laura home, at the risk of both their necks, to Bannisdale. Other chances con- cur to strengthen the mutual attachment between the girl and host, and the eternal ''duel of sex" now fairly commences.

RUPERT OF HENTZHU.
Sequel to the "Prsoner of Zenda," by
 Anthony Hope.

This is a good story and full of incl dent and action, but it is not, like its predecessor, a spontaneous story, one which the author wrote because it was in his mind and he had to. The ending of
 'The Prisoner of Zenda" was satisfac- tory in every way. The genius and motif of the story was preserved in the ending. To bring Rudolf back and put him through a series of adventures in the kingdom of Ruritania was simply a work of art. On reading the story of Rupert of Hentzau" one cannot escape from the idea that the authors first mo- tion was to bring about the marriage of Rudolf and Flavia, but the logic of events was too strong for him. We would have been perfectly content forever to have imagined Flavia on her throne learn ing to love the King, her husband, and Rassendyl, country squire in England,

THE NEW RITrALA

The new ritual adopted at the recent session of the Grand Parlor of the Native Daughters of the Golden West was the one prepared by Mrs. Minnie J. Gunzen- dorfer, treasurer of Sans Souc Parlor, a young lady whose literary attachments have made her the subject of much fla Vorable comment in her circle of friends and acquaintances. The several parts which the officers give utterance to in the carrying out of the work are clothed in eloquent descriptive language, and from beginning to finish it is historical and gives all hearers an epitomized sketch of the principal events of the State, so that while learning the mystery of the order the candidate is impressed with what the State in which she lives has been and is
 The ritual is not hotchpotch, made up of the striking features of the ritualistic work of various orders. but it is entirely original and is beautiful in it's originality
 The lady has reason to feel proud of her work and the order is to be congratulat- ed on its adoption. Last week the mem bers of Sans Souci feeling so elated over the fact that the work of their treasurer had been adopted, visited her at home on Haight street and, taking possession or the house, gave her surprise party.
