Sarah Grand limo. cloth, 679 pages.
Retail, SOC. has been brought out by
Street & Smith, New York. To be re-
only to shoot, by accident. his rescuer;
to have developed a marvellous voice.
only to let its beauty be confined in the
four walls of a village church: to fall
that she is the wife of another-this
would seem enough of hard luck for any
man. The tenor in 1.-The Heavenly
Twins" suffers all this. But still not
content. Sarah Grand has given him
the love of what he believes is a sweet
faced boy, who plays the violin divinely
and talks with all the piquancy of a
thoughtful boy Then, when the boy
has become part of the man. there
comes a day of awakening. The tenor
discovers in the laughing youngster his
goddess of truth. his angel of purity,
whom he had worshipped afar off, and
who is now lost to him doubly. for the
Quick-Witted boy has disappeared and
in his place there stands the WOman's
real self which belongs to another.
There are phrases in THE Heavenly
Twins" that stick, sharp epigraIns that
faSten themselves upon the reader; and,
apart from the story. which is strong
and dramatic, the novel, for its beauty
of style and language, must live for
generations to come.

BOOK NOTES.

One of the late publications of Dodd
Mead & Co, New York. is a novel by
William lie Queux entitled Her Majes-
tvs Minister" The story is an inter-
esting one dealing with diplomatic in
Jflgue and recent events and complica-
tions which threatened to involve Eur
ope in a great war. The author is a
well known writer of what might be
termed detective stories of a high or
der but his latest work deals with q
subject which has seldom been touched
upon by writer's of fiction of any class
and lifts the reader far above the ordf-
nary recital of official shreWdness. The
story is told by Gerald Ingram, an at
tache of the British embassy at Par
is and gives one an insight into the Sc
crets of international diplomacy and to
what extremes the agents of govern
mentS go to learn the secrets of their
rivals. The writer tells how England
IS on the verge of a French war and
how the great secrets of the English
government are learned by the French
spies which enable them to checkmate
the efforts of the English ambassador.
interviewer in the story is found the
old romance of lovers which adds to the
interest. But leaving out of account
the love story and the book is still one
which would hold the interest of the
reader 1t is well worth reading.
The historical romance, ''Aontanye,"
by William Q. Stoddard, published by
Henry Altemus Co, New York is an
addition to the growing list of colonial
stories. It contains an interesting de-
scription of the slave trade in the times
of the Old New York. The manner of
the capture of the slaves in the African
Wilds, their sale to the traders and the
transportation to this country is wildly
portrayed in all their cruelty by this
delightful writer. The love story which
is SO skillfuny interviewer is charming.
One can not fail to sympathize with

lass and brave Dick Wilton The read
