bert S. Stone & CO. Pages. 2ss.
We have here love story with a
japanese setting-Sasa-San is the heroine,
and we are first introduced to her amid
the plum blossoms Of her fathers
orchard, while she is wondering If
she could be happy after marriage with
the Iow-born Jap to whom she is be-
trothed. At this juncture, Henry Ire
silian, an Englishman, appears. He falls
in love with the heather maiden, and she
with him. There is on his part a struggle
between love and conscience, but love
conquers, and the marriage follows.
Soon he sees his mistake and is utterly
miserable. He is betrayed by a supposed
friend and his wife leaves him. At times
he hates her, and, again. he hopes for her
return. Their child dies, and finally she
returns, In the last stages Of consumption,
and, passing away, is buried in a quiet
English churchyard, under a simple
cross, marked plum Blossom" Such is
the skeleton Of the story, which is we'll
told, and works upon the sympathies.

YOUNG BLOOD. BY E. w. Hornung.
Published by Charles Scribner's Sons.
For sale by the George NJ. West Com
pany. Price, Sl.25.
There IS little that is striking in this
story, though it at least has the merit
of interesting the reader. The hero en-
counters many difficulties. but braveiy
struggles through them all, despite the
Vaccinations Of the william, who plays
a conspicuous part in the romance. At
the end we are glad to see the hero tri-
umphant, but we are not altogether sorry
to bid him good-by. young Blood offers
a few hours of amusement and is harm
less, but it is not destined for lasting
place in fiction.
