and is sure of wide circle of readers.
1t is well said of Stalky & Co: Mr..
Kipling's school boy trio have made for
themselves as distinctive place in his
readers hearts as that possessed by the
Soldiers Three who first revealed to
the world the authors genius. They are
real, manly rough and tumble boys:
boys whose daring intrigue and strate-
gy surely foreshadow the resourceful
men upon whose shoulders rests the
mighty responsibility of England's CO.
lonial governments. Indeed the au-
thor's aim seems to be to emphasize this
point, for one of the stories shows these
three muslseteers' of England in after
years. when as men they have taken up
the White Mans Burden in India.
The book is now in it's twentieth thou
sand" In these stories Mr. Kipling is
not at his best by any means, but the
doings of the three heroes, Stalky, Bee
tie and McTurk, will have a wide circle
Of readers and admirers.
