"Espiritu Santo' is pretty and touching
little story by Henrietta Dana Skinner, a
granddaughter of Richard II. Dana, and
author of "a Queen at School," Love
Songs of the Tuscan Peasantry," and some
other books. "a Queen at School, by the
way, is a narrative of the convent life OF
Queen Mercedes of Spain, and it is not i'm
probable that some of the traits of the
heroine of the present book were studied
from this little royal lady.
The story is not exactly novel, despite
the fact that it is announced as such on the
title page. There is no plot to speak of,
and very little constructive power is shown.
The authors forte lies chiefly in careful
character drawing, and most of the people
in these pages seem to live.
The heroine is a little Spanish girl of
singularly pure and lovely nature, and her
quaint name is due to her fete-day. While
still child she meets a young Italian lad
Teodoro or Theodore Daretti, who is living
with his elder brother Adrian, a popular
young baritone. Teodoro is awkward, un-
calmly and sensitive and the friendship OF
little Espiritu comes to him almost as a
fairy gift. There is a pretty touch of nat
ure in the description of the home of the
Daretti brothers, and their love for each
other, and the character of Adrian is at
minds one of Edna Lyall's Knight Err
rant" except that it is on the whole more
artistic But there really seems to be no
good reason for causing both Teodoro and
Espiritu to die in the last chapter, after the
young man has won success, popularity and
fortune, and the girl has grown to woman
hood and to consciousness of her love for
him The young-girl public may weep over
the book and love the lovers, but will not

ry cruelty. (New York: Harper & Bros.

'Wedlock," the latest novel of John
Strange Winter, is a story OF very simple
construction, realistic atmosphere, and
pleasant ending The heroine. Mary Ham
ilton, is induced by poverty and the per-
suasions of her mother to marry a sea
captain much older than herself. Cap
tain Conway cannot be characterized as
anything but an iil-natured brute. and the
sordid and hateful features OF such an al
lance are clearly set forth. During the
last illness of her mother Mary Conway
receives the news that her husbands ship
has been lost at sea, and almost simulta-
neously she discovers that, owing to q
quarrel which Captain Conway provoked
with her Just before he sailed, he has
made n will bequeathing all his property
to a nephew. This leaves Mary again
alone In the world, and after year or
two of work as n stenographer she mee.s
a brilliant and popular author, and be-
comes first his secretary, then his wife.
OF course, as soon as it becomes evident
that the heroine has found her affinity,
and that she is precisely the wife for Alan
Stacey. the reader begins to look for Cap
tain Conway's return. 1t occurs in due
time. and the scene in which he discovers
his former wife living in a cottage in
Cornwall with her husband is the most

The Winter stars.

Across the iron silence OF the night
keen wind ftfully creeps. and far away
The northern ridges glimmer family bright
Like hills ON some dead planet hard and gray.
Dtvinely from the icy sky look down
The deaihiess stars that sparkle overhead.
The Vain, the Herdsnan. and the Northern
Crown.
And yonder, westward, large and balefully red,
Arcturrs, brooding fierce resolves.
Like mystic dancers in the Arctic air
The troops OF the Aurora shift and spin:
The Dragon strews his bale -hres, and within
His trailing and prodigious loop involves
The lonely Polar Star and the Lesser Bear.

Far away l heard your call,

In the shadow-land OF thought,

Mingle in a twilight gray,
Through which wander here and there
Wondrous fantasies OF air;
Throngs OF thewless Anakim,
Cities half-discerned and dim,
With n rosy veil Of mist,
Spreading into amethyst.

=, HOW hard mother has to coax before
the can get her child to take its first ster.

1t is just about as hard to induce a
confirmed invalid, especially one suffer-
ing with weakness of the lungs. to take
the trst step to health. There is a lack
OF confidence, and perhaps a crushing
experience OF a former failure which
depresses and discourages the sufferer.
In spite of doubts and fears YOU will
take the first step to health when YOU
take the first dose of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. It never fails to
help: In ninety-eight cases out of one
hundred it never fails to cure. Never
mind about the symptoms. Obstinate
cough, bleeding of the lungs splitting of
blood emaciation, night-sweats condi-
tons which if neglected or unskillfullv
treated terminate in consumption, have
all been perfectly and permanently cured

Since it was found that large number
OF palms and other trees had been killed
by the recent cold weather, Chairman
Dattin of the Park and Tree Commission
has been making an effort to reasonably
estimate the loss. He said yesterday that
some of the trees it was at first thought
had been killed by the cold were revivins
10 some extent. MIR. Daffin said this had
oeen reported to him by the foreman, who
had observed the change during his rounds
IN watering the trees.
Wi. be a source of pleasure TO every

loss turn out to have been exaggerated.

trees were subjected for years, and the
