THE Son of the Wolf" by Jack London
marks the advent of a new romance writer
in the literary world Whether Mr.. Lon
don Will ever do another book as good as
this is of course uncertain; Ii bears the
earmarks of practical experience, and
sometimes, in his ''Wanderjahre' a man
sees and understands things which are
uncommonly fascinating, and which, as he
does not meet them in his after life, he
cannot record twice. Also 1t is not given
to any man to discover mere than one new
and unworked field. In this book are nine
stories of the Far North. OF the Yukon
country, Dawson mining camps. and the
white silence of Canadian mountains. They
are stories of Indians, of miners, and of
the women and priests who stray into the
far corners of the earth, and belong TO a
Sifferent species from those whom one
meets in the haunts Of civilization. The
STYLE reminds oTie % Bret i!ar:o and d:
K;pling: the author has borrowed Il little
of the Californian Gallo conciseness and
rather more of the Anglo-Indian's brutal
directness But his material is new, and
SO Is the spirit with which he deals with
II; and no man can modestly claim abso-
lSte originality.
There are two creations in this book;
one is the story of The Son of the Wolf"
which is wild saga Of romance and ad-
venture, the hero being "Scruff' Macke n
zie. and the heroine the daughter of a
Thlinkit chief the other is Malemute
Kid" the big. stern. grur, tender-hearted,
wise Ulysses who appears in half the
tales-a sor. OF Argonaut Mulyaney. Even
in the portrait Of the Kid there are I'M
defined shadows; he is little too much
Of a type and not enough OF person. but

Ger Absalom, and Helen when she crept
In flight through Sparta's gate. Thus sad and low
1t blew through that dark garden long ago
Where Christ knelt and the three disciples slept.

ParnassuS Grass.

I sought you, but found you not,
Where larrow. yet a rill
By many moist and likely spot,
Glides downward from the hill
1t was then only in a dream
| had beheld you there,
Marked your reflected blossom gleam,
And called its paleness fair.
But at a later Lammas- tide,
Beneath the evening star.
1t fell that from Loch Lomond side
| crossed to ArToehar.
Then, ere the swiftly gathering gloom
That daTkened all around you
Had power TO hide your milk-white bloom,
| sought You not but found you.

Dawn in the Tropics.

Fainter the Trade-wind westward sweeps,
Lighter the surf on the coral breaks,
Paler and paler the Day-star creeps
Down the pearl-gray sky the sun awakes-
To FIJI the wave with hundred CLEANS
OF ruby and topaz and amethyst,
To crown the hill with its lanibent beams
To free the vale from the wreathng mist
To bid the land breeze stay its sweep
To dry the fronds OF the dew drenched palm
blessed time betwixt waking and sleep,
When the world stands still in a golden calm.
There's patter OF feet on the cool white roads.
song comes drifting from far away,
chatter of women beneath their loads
And the world is awake TO another day.

Let Me Forget.

Love, who hath granted many prayers and set
Ny hayward feet into thy happy ways,
Behold send thee duplication vet
Let me forget my wasted yesterdays.
l wrought so many follies in thy name,
So many irail. false affairs did raise,
Too weak to hold thee-nay, for very shame,
Let me forget my wasted yesterdays.
See, blot out-rny SHINING with my tears,
And ever cry my prayer with this my praise:
For sake OF all the coming, happier years
Let me forget my wasted yesterdays.
-Theodosia Pickering Garrison, in the Cosmc-
politan.
