incorrect. When Dickens wrote of stable

her love for a man whom she has deliber-
ately rejected is really the absorbing pas
sion of her life But the discovery comes
too late, for before she permits him to
know it he has become engaged to an

written in the epistolatory form. and while
the plot has not much scope or action, its

The Day Breaketh.

This story by Fanny A. Shugert has for
subtitle "A Tale of Jerusalem and Rome In
the Days of Christ" The authors aim has
been to weave story of the fearless devo-
ton of the early Christians. and to present
to the young of to-day, in entertaining
form, a sketch of the enduring zeal which
the apostles displayed in obeying the COM
mands of the Master. The story covers the
most trying times of the great transition
from paganism to Christianity-the period
commencing with the stoning of Stephen
and ending with the death of John, the last
disciple. The story is well written, and, be-
sides an attractive spirit of earnestneSs,
possesses considerable interest Philadel-
phia: Henry Altemus.
