with a portly wife and seven children only thinking in the twilight when the sun had set behind the Kentish hills, or the days when he was the savior of dynasty.
 People seem so anxious to hear more about the loves of F'lavia and Rudolf that It seemed a flying in the face of Provl- dence to neglect the opportunity, so MT Hope brought Rudolf back from his re- tirement in England to put him through new set of adventures and make a story. The only character now left around which MT. Hope could weave a sequel l.,t to his sequel is Flayia,, the Queen.
 In Rupert of Hentzau" MT. Hope. is most unjust to the King. He says that after his imprisonment at the hands of Black Michael he became peevish and morose. In short, he changes entirely the character of the King we knew and whom Rudolf rescued, in order to make his story fit. There is one excellent passage in the story (there are many, so far as that goes, but one which is almost an excuse for writing the novel;, and that is where Rudolf is walking in the garden trying to decide on what course he shall pursue. Old Sapt and the giddy Bernenstein while they are waiting for the decision, talk about the moon and it's effect on the human mind. Sapt does most of the talk, ing. and. in faith, he does it well. By all means read Rupert of Hentzau," and then forget it. and imagine that the Eng fish wife of Rudolf is calling him now O nights to come in out of the damp or his rheumatism will be worse.

 We have received several communications from whist players in regard to our non- mnemonic whist game introduced by the writer to the Trist Duplicate Whist Club of this city something a year ago. de- scription of this game was given In the April number of Whist. Every of our corre- spondents seems to be in accord and all Of the same opinion, that is they don't seem to be able to get any head or tail to my description of the way 1t is done. I will try and explain 1t over again It Is follows:
 Say l am delegated to prepare twenty-four deals for an evenings play. I pick out the odd numbered trays of 24 set numbers 1. B. 5. and so on, up to and including number 2S tby count 12); I take 12 packs of cards; com mencing with tray No 1 I take one pack first taking out the deuce of any suit for the trump, note it on trump slip, then shufhe and distribute the cards in regular order-to North, South, East and West; when this is done, put the cards into the pocket of the tray or holder, placing the trump slip face up or. the top of the dealers cards Now take the next tray in order-number 3-shuffe the cards deal them before after taking out the deuce of some other suit for the trump; keep re- beating this until you have dealt 12 packs. and of course you have completed the deals for the 12 trays. In every one of these F deals deuc, Is turned for trump. We usually alternate the trump; in one deal we select the deuce of spades. the next the deuce of hearts, the next the deuce of clubs then the deuce of damond, When this is completed. we take the even numbered empty trays. take them haphazard; i; 1t before you, spread out pack of cards face up and pick out and put into tray No. 1S duplicate of No. Cor any other odd numbered deal}. but you must transpose the suits and hands, East to South. South to West, West to North. North to East in the following man in our two illustrated deals. We start in with this hand-t has certain number of each suit are transposed into hearts. the hearts 9pito into clubs. clubs into diamonds and the diamonds

That Mrs Humphry Ward could write Q good book she showed long ago. con seouently something great IS expected in her latest effort, "Helbeck of Bannls- dale" But the reader is likely to be greatly pleased or greatly disappointed for the work is one the merit of when depends altogether on the point of view There is no denying that every line or the story is written in masterly style, ana beneath it all is a tenderness joined 10 commonsense. As work Of art II Is worthy of the highest place; as mover likely to sway the people there IS cohs1u- erable room for doubt. But Of this only time can be the true judge, and even then each reader will be sure to have his or her own opinion.
 In "Helbeck of Bannisdale" Mrs. Ward reverts to what may be called the Els mere Motive" Such reversions are not usually fortunate, and though Mrs. Ward is easily ahead of all competitors in the theological novel-which, indeed, may al- most be regarded as a genre of her own invention-she has in her later work dlS- played so considerable creative aolllty, and such acute observation Of character in a wider field of fiction, that not a few of her readers will regret to see her once more contracting her range. We dare say however, that she rightly regards
 
 of spiritual struggle as virtually lnsatl- able, and that she may again acceptaDly invite them to listen to the somewhat de- pressing story of one of tltese conflicts of love and conScience-this time with the sexes of the combatantS reversed For in ''Helbeck of BanniSdale' it is the man who is the representative of orthodoxy, and the woman who is without creed. We cannot honestly say that the change is for the better. No doubt we have out grown the prejudice against the female skeptic which finds expression in we'll known line of JohnSOn'S London, and admit that she has as much right to talk you dead as her male counterpart; but agnostic sweet and twenty opposed to devout if sour, siX-and-thirty cannot be made what actors call a sympathetic part" nor is it easy to rid oneself of the mpression-perhaps a mere hereditary survival from the ages of faith-that the relation is somehow or other unnatural.
 Mrs. Ward, too, has not been altogether fortunate in one most important point the first impression which she gives us of her emancipated heroine. It is true that Laura Fountains agnosticism is hu- maniZed, to some extent, for us by its close association with her passionate af- lection for and unswerving loyalty to the memory of a father who, on his deathbed, would not say, even to comfort her, that they would meet again. But it is also a little too highly favored with intellectual conceit-natural enough, no doubt, in girl brought up from childhood in the So Cety of university dons, but still an es sentially unsympathetic trait: and the airs of patronage which she assumes not only toward her Catholic StepmOther, for a time a backslider from the faith, but even toward Mrs. Fountains brother, a Catholic deVOtee of an elevated If rather fOrbidding type. and a good many years her senior. are so comically superior that we look forward at first with some
