"Short-Story Writing" by Charles Ray
mond Barrett, assumes to be "a practical
treatise on the art of the short story de-
signed to present concretely the rules of
that art" To certain extent 1t sulfills
its mission. There are many hints In the
volume which will be valuable to the am
bilious young writer, and he will derive
benefit from the study OF the authors and
authorities cited by Mr.. Barrett, If from
nothing else 1t is to be doubted. how
ever, If the art of writing fiction can be
taught by any book. All that the oldest
and most experienced workman can tell
about his methods, is, as rule, next to
nothing. He knows that he gained his
present skill by practice, earnest and I'M
ccasing and that he found 1t necessary to
study the style of others, and the Ian
guage Il itself, in order to evolve style
of his own. He knows that he had story
to tell, ahd told it; indeed, not few
romance writer's have asserted that their
story told itself. that the characters sim
ply took matters into their own hands and
Travelled a path entirely different from
that originally intended for them. But the
young writer rarely finds his children of
Imagination behaving in this irresponsible
fashion. He has to learn to write, and
Mr. Barrett intends to show him how to
do it.
The chief value of this book is in It's re-
marks about mistakes which are to be
avoided. When the author gives examples
of the way in which thing is not to be
done. he. at any rate. guarded his inexpe-
rienced reader from that particular pitfall.
And this he has done most successfully.
He has hit upon most Of the palpable blum

A ballad of neinr Broke.

When the last string snaps and man goes broke,
lie turns to the woods or the sea;
He cuts clean loose from the homebred folk,
While love and honor go up like smoke.
And life is n gamble, and death is joke,
And the universe good 10 see
There's brand new sort of a fate for him;
They may languish early and late for him;
The bird on the wing is mate for him,
And the hawk on the hunt goes free
There's the brown and gloom OF the forest track
Where the deer go ghostly by;
There's the starving camp and the lightweight
pack,
The moosehide lodge or the trappers shack.
And VOLTS fierce life in the pine woods black,
And the freedom of the sky.
There's the punging deck and the jarring screw,
And the oilskins bright with foam;
Or the topsails drenched with the Gulf Stream
dew.
And the sharp salt breath of the landless blue,
Where a man forgets his home.
We know it. my friends OF the .'broke brigade
Pals of the plain and sea;
Single handed and unairaid
The artists of life and the fools OF trade.
But think we know how the game is played,
And we know where it's best to be.
There some that may wait and pray for us;
There is luck that never will stay for US;
But the woods and the waves will make way
When the 'broke brigade goes free.

"Mooswa," by W. A. Fraser, is a col
lection of animal stories dealing with the
wild life of the Canadian Northwest In
writing 1t the author has invited COMPARE
son with Kipling's Jungle Books" as he
has already invaded the special field of
that author in his East Indian tales But
in both cases the work of Mr.. Fraser can
stand the comparison.
The present book betrays a large and
sympathetic familiarity with the beasts of
the forest, and with the special locality
in which the scene is laid-the banks of
the Athabasca and Saskatchewan. The
animals are given their Indian names for
the most part, though occasionally, as in
the case of Whiskey- Jack, the blue Jay. So
hriquets bestowed by the lumbermen are
used instead. Each bird and beast is Civ
en- distinct character, and their speech
is in harmony with this. The whole book
is full OF the smell OF the spruce and the
wild favor Of wood berries and spicy bark.
1t has the atmosphere of that savage life
which is found to perfection only in the
half untrodden wilderness of Canada.
The human characters are boy, the son
Of the factor, and a half-breed named
Francois, who is the villain of the animal
play, being a mighty hunter. We are let

The hour Of our last parting threw IFS shade
On our first hour Of meeting: overwise
With prescience OF sorrow your ewes
In that first glance ere hand on hand was laid
The shadow of a sudden passing wing
One little moment blurred the keen, glad sea,
And minor notes POSSESSED its threnody
Like some sad warning that seer might sing.
And we, who stand tonight. poor pawns of Fate,
With uncasped hands and lips that dare not
kiss.
May we rebel with empty words at this.
Who knew this hour must dawn or soon or late?
Poor, broken blades that strove against thing
Mighty love and strong suffering.

Yet on some other day, when skies unroll
Their storm-cloud banners only, and the beat
OF the wild tempest is like hurrying feet
That stay not, halt not, till they reach the goal
When doubt and dread assail my fainting soul,
And, when fain Gods mercy would entrcat,
Even the prayers my trembling lips repeat
Seem like the clamor of harsh bells that toll
Then, thinking OF thee in some far, dim realm,
Dim to senses, glorious to thine
Where never once cruel wind doth blow,
Nor storm nor stress come near thee to o'erwhelm,
lift mine eyes unto the Hills Divine,
And cry-''Thank God, thank God, he does
not know.''
