These stories-"The Rudeness of the

"The Story of Ronald Kestrel," by A. j.
Dawson. Published by d. Appleton q
Co, New York. Cloth, 81. Town and
Country Library.
Ronald Kestrel is an author and the
story is an intimate study of the emo
tons of success and failure of a
writer of fiction. Young Kestrel was
an English lad reared in Morocco. We
get to know him intimately in Aus
tralia, where he is sub-editor of a
struggling morning paper. There isn't
anything novel about a young authors
failure to please a publisher, but there
is breezy and delightful strangeness
in the ways of Ronald Kestrel. When
he falls il love with Margaret, his child
love at Morocco, his success as story
writer begins. He wins her with less
difficulty than the reader expects in or
der, one finds, to show that the love of
a wife is stronger than maids. The
chapters that describe the life of the
pair after their marriage are the best
of the book. Temporarily Ronald's gifts
fail him, becomes respondent and
the book becomes tragic. The story is
strong, vivid and attractive.

"Geschichten vom Rhein," by Menco
Stern. Published by American Book
Company, New York, Cincinnati, and
Chicago.
This series of over one hundred short
stories told in easy German, is well
calculated to meet the growing de-
mand for practical text books. In his
research into the literature and leg
ends of the German people, the author
collected these interesting stories.
which he wrote out and first used in
manuscript form in his own classes.
The experiment proved a successful
one and one which the student-world is
now given the full benefit By unique
idea oe the author, who has arranged
them IN such a way that they follow
the course of the Rhein from source to
mouth, the stories, which differ much
in character and situation, are linked
into continuous whole. As such they
form a remarkably good text book for
students in German, since they furnish
ample material for reading, converse
ton ana composition. The book also
contains map of the Rhein and its
neighboring country and an exhaustive
vocabulary, and is planned in every
way to meet the need of the student.
Though especially designed for school
work, however, the stories are charm
ingly told and cannot fail to excite in
any reader new interest in German
history, scenery and legends!

This is a German classic for chill

at the same time serious, sincere and
yet overlooking with healthful, inno-

deepest love for nature. The CONVEX

thor of "Black Rock

L
thor of "Black Rock"
The high purpose Of this book can be
no more clearly set forth than by the
authors words when he says: "The
measure of a mans power to help his
brother is the measure of the love in
the heart of him and of the faith he
has that at last the good will win.
With this love that seeks not its own
and this faith that gripes the heart of
things, he goes out to meet many for
tunes. but not that of defeat:
This story is of the people Of the
Foothill Country; of those men of adj
venturous spirit, who left homes of
comfort, often of luxury, because of the
stirring in them to be and do some wor-
thy thing; and of those others who,
soutcast from their kind, sought to find
in these valleys, remote and lonely, a
spot where they could forget and be
forgotten.
The waving skyline of the foothills
was the boundary of their lookout upon
life. Here they dwelt safe from the
scanning of the world, freed from all
restraints of social law denied the gem

uplift of q good woi11an's face. What

His kind-hearted desire to be of service to
