THE ADVENTURES OF ToRoUA. b,

THE ADVENTURES OF TORQUA. by
Charles Frederick Holder:
published by Little. Brown g. Co. For
sale by Preston & Rounds. sl.2o).
Here Is a story of adventure for boys
that is unique as TO theme and tremen-
dous as TO interest. II Is written by a
scientific chap who has found, I'm the
course OF his researches and studies into
the antiquities OF the lower southern Cali
fornia coast, material that is calculated
to fire the imagination OF youth as IL has
his own. After all. scientists are often
the most imaginative fellows I'm the
world, although not all of them are will
ing TO take time to entertain the young
sters.
The story tells OF the early days of the
famous Spanish missions when they were
In their glory, and had begun to make
slaves OF the native Indians OF the coun-
try and the near Pacific Islands. Two
young Spanish lads OF rank are kid
mapped by the kings orders and trans
ported to the wild new world. Aided by
Torqua. a young Indian slave. they es-
cape, and hotly pursued they make the
island where is the tribal kingdom OF
Torqua. Here they have chapter after
chapter of thrilling adventure. with the
big fish of the sea. with attacking tribes
from neighboring islands and with the
wild things ashore A Spanish galleon Is
wrecked on the island and the two lads
find friends who manage II so that they
are restored TO home and native land.
Later. they return and again come across
the young warrior Toroua under new cir
cumstances. which We won't divulge.
There Ia much curious and interesting In
formation In the story that Is cleverly
impaired. The story involves a true rep
n nt.xt.l ID
nificant and little known chapter In
American history that is calculated TO
stimulate the young reader vastly In
studying the making OF his country. The
numerous illustrations are spirited and
out of the ordinary in conception.

sale by Preston & Rounds. sl.20).
Girl readers will welcome the third
Brenda book. stylish looking volume.
as the publishers have put 1t up with
engaging pictures by Alice Barber Ste
phens. The story describes the career
OF Julia Bourne at Radcliffe college. The
information is conveyed that the author
herself Is a graduate OF Radcliffe and
hence a lively and real sort of a story
is confidently expected. We gather from
the narrative that the girls at Radcliffe
put In some good honest work and study
with all their recreation and social en-
joyment. the peculiar quality OF which
for the college maid at this superior In
stitution Is delightfully."- indicated In the
progress of the story. romance is
suggested, too In the course OF the bright
chapter and a group OF good fellows as
well as sundry likeable girls are among
the characters that are portrayed with
rare sympathy, In way to make you
glad that you have known them and to
suggest that there is not a little reality
in the portraiture and character drawing.
Miss Reed understands girl nature. and
what Is more TO the point, she Is able to
demonstrate II with her pen. The illus
trations charmingly reinforce the letter
press 80 that the book is delightful to
look at as well as 10 read. No better
college story has been written, not even
for the boys who have had the advan-
tage OF many clever and vigorous authors
10 represent them. We think Rev. Elijah
Kellogg for instance. would have read
this story OF Brendas cousin In her col
lege life with extraordinary sympathy
and approval.

treasure Joseph Harper had suffered
for several weeks with rheumatism in
the hip and had been compelled to
drag his right leg as he walked. Young
Aaron Greenwood. who was the smart
Alec of the neighborhood, had given
limitations Of the limp for the delecta-
ton Of the neighbors. The will read
that he was to limp ten rods and back
after "the Harper style" and would
then be allowed to Ill one trousers

young man went through the perform

There were twenty-five legatees I'M

was left all his real estate and personal
property, amounting to matter of
$4,000, and she was charged to con

had received.
This charge was never fulfilled. She
had not yet risen to carry It out when
the row began. Joseph Harper had
found box OF coins In u hollow tree,
but they were bogus quarters and
halves and dollars and hidden away by
some gang Of counterfeiters years be-
fore. He had made use OF the find to
square up old scores.
OF course the "legatees" were boiling
over with indignation, and OF course
the outsiders" were tickled to death,
and the row did not cease until doors
were unhinged, windows smashed and
fences leveled. There are some still
living who speak OF the dead man with
u show of respect, but there are Others
who never hear his name mentioned

He had been living thus for ten years
when one day in hollow tree OH his
own farm he found great heap Of
money. There was such weight that he
had to borrow neighbor's horse and
wagon to convey It to the bank In the
town. He tried to be very secret about
It, but the matter became the gossip OF
the county. Neither Joe nor the banker
would tell what the sum was, but PEG,
