equaf proportions. The accounts are
never in mere black and white, and so
the, reader ssees through the author S
eyes. Here is a bit at random from an
account of Agra:
We saw the Jesmine tower from cor
ner of the garde1 in the glow Of sunset
With Its gilfEcupola blazing In the low
beams, It's afnbeFlhued walls as trans
parent as melting wax, and its pierced
screenwork, it looked diaphanous, SO fra
gtle, that it might be carried away by
the evening breeze. And beyond the pa
Yi1on, above the ramparts carved with
huge elephants les the old Htndoo pal
ace, deserted by Behangir for his house
of pale marbles-an endless palace, a
labyrinth of red buildings loaded to the
top with an gagglomeration Of ornament
supporting fiat roofs.
How artistic that little picture is, those
will know we'll who have tried to do the
like. There are %also stories, incidents,
manners apdf.eUstoms-an without COM
ment, just pictures in words. Here is
something from the visit to the sacred
city of Benares:
"a garden Of roses and lilies was the
dwelling place of very ancient fakir,
who had taken a VOW to live naked. and
only put on a loin cloth when ladies were
| expected. He was venerated by all, yes.
| even by Abibulla, who knelt before him,
| touched the holy mans feet and then
his own forehead The old fellow was
| surrounded by pilgrims wearing wreaths
| of flowers round their neck; he came to
meet me, took me by the hand, and led
| me under the shade of a kiosh, where he
showed ME a large book he had written,
containing an 6account Of the joys and
ecstasies of his life of asceticism and
| prayer. ThisEofds man had a magnificent
brow, and the deep gaze of his kind smiI-
ing eyes was fine in a face puckered by
| a thousand wrinkles. Infinite calm and
| peace characterized this happy souI-a
naked man in the midst of flowers.
AT the endeof5 the garden, in a little
| temple, is a statue of the holy man of
| the size of life, in his favorite attitude.

| image were the. most absurd toys-and a
| photograph Of the German emperor! AS
l was leaving the fakir called me back.
asked me to think OF hIn sometimes,
and gave me one of the splendid yellow
roses that hung about him like glory"
There: Isn't that Tot finer than a
| dreary moralization about the delightful
/ old scamp? We can do a little in the
way Of reflection ourselves, if writer's
will only let US have a chance. The
| book is of this Sort and is altogether
| charming ---

tainly knows no bounds when it comes
to enthusiastic appreciation of the sub
ject. Yale spirit is Infectious, and this
bulky blue volume contains enough of the
genuine article to make the admirers Of
the old college and the new university

two authors, not to mention the profess

material in the second section.
Lewis Sheldon WEIGH is the author ond
editor of ''The Yale Glass Rooms" and
''The Yale Campus" Walter Camp, an

er's temperament has much to do with
the relative enjoyment he gets out Of
the various sections Of this work. but en-
joyment of some sort and desirable infor-
nation he is sure to get from every chap
ter and every subject. Yale, as drawn
by Mr.. WEIGH and Mr.. Camp, is a very
pleasant picture and one that we are
proud to associate with the history Of
America from the old colonial times; and
to describe the new Yale we gratefully
crib from Mr.. Samuel J. Elders intro

Agatha Webb" by. Anna Katharine
Green. G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York.
For sale by the St. Paul Book and
Stationery company.
Among the writer's of the present day
Miss Green is foremost in her ability to
formulate ingenious plot, stirring Incl
dent and tragic situations.
She is certainly at home with a few
mysterious murders, a large amount of
circumstantial evidence to be. disproved,
much hatred, and a little love. Her
name upon the cover of this dainty blue
and white volume prepares the reader
for the fact that the first chapter will
introduce him to a New England village
torn up over a murder. In nearly all
natures there is a touch of the detective
spirit, and so cleverly is this story
woven that the reader becomes as deeply
interested in forming a theory of his
own to unravel the mystery as he is
in the numerous hypothesis launched by
the professional detectives in the story.
The woman who is murdered IS so Iowa
BILE, so generous and saint like that the
whole community in which she lives
feels a personal bereavement in her
death, and a deep interest in avenging
her murder The sympathy of the
reader goes out to the dissipated young
man, Frederick Sutherland, who about
the time of the murder, surprises his
father by announcing his determination
TO reform MS HE. 1t IS discovered that
the dead woman, in will made some
two years before, has made Frederick
heir to her wealth. This. coupled with
the circumstance of his being in want
Of money at the time for a gambling
debt, throws the suspicion of the murder
upon him.
1t is known to only one person, how
ever, that Frederick visited the house
Of the dead woman the night of the
murder That person is a young woman
of whom he has been enamored, beau
tiful, crafty and vindictive
She follows Frederick to the house and
sees him emerge with money which he
secretes in the wood. He resolved to
abandon his association with her, and
she, resenting this, threatens to make
him out the murderer unless he promises
to marry her. he allows her to carry
out her threat in time, but meantime is
arrested for the crime.
1t would spoil the story for the reader
to go into detail, but his final acquittal
upon unexpected evidence shows some~
thing akin to genius in the authors
handling of this sort of material.
