One needs not to read far into the
last book of Agnes Laut's "Heralds of
Empire" to realize not only it's charac-
ter, but also to become interested in
the story she has to tell. When her
Lords of the North" appeared, over
the name "A. c. Laut," publishers be-
gan to wonder who Mr.. Laut was. None
of them guessed Miss Lauts identity
until she replied to some of their let
ters, asking for opportunities to see
any of her work. Miss Laut has spent
most of her life in Canada, for several
years on the Winnipeg Free Press.
Within the past year or two she came
TO New York and engaged in special
writing until her book began to attract
public attention. Now she devotes her
self largely TO writing for book publi-
cation. The following brief extracts
give some idea of 'Heralds of Empire:

Lascars in the crew; and this strength was
needed, for little Doo-oo wriggled, leaped,
squirmed and flung himself about in her
arms as long as he was awake. He knew
nearly everybody on board, liked everyone
and everything immensely, and called every
person and object by the same name
Doo-oo (which name, in turn, everyone
called him.
He dubbed the stern and grizzed Captain
"Doo-oo," and stopped him to receive a
saaam and to make himself amusing but,
just as the great man would be about to
exhibit his glorious gold watch the baby
would catch sight of the chiefest and naSteSt
of the Lascars and show his preference for
him by crying out "Doo-oo" and straining
away from the Captain to be carried to this
greater favorite. The Captain had little else
worthy of Doo-oo's regard but the gold lace
in his cap and sleeves, but the mate of the
LaScars was a very wonderful parsonage
indeed, who carried a silver whistle which
he was in the habit of blowing very shriIIy
to make the other diSreputabe black bundles
in dirty cotton run about the deck.
Miss Rucknam was the only woman who
walked on the deck before breakfast, and,
as little DOo-oo was one of the many gentle
men who took the air at the same time,
these two soon became known 10 one an

acquainted, because she did not know how
to talk to baby or what to do with one.
She made few attempts to interest the
child, but felt so awkward and ignorant that
she would have withdrawn from the ex-
perience except for little Doo-oo, who took
a prodigiouS liking to her. He screamed
her name, "Doo-oo," at her from amidShips
when he saw her in the stern. He seemed
never to miss seeing her-amoSt behind
and through the deck-houses when they got
between him and this object of his most
violent and maSterful Irritation,
"Salaam to the mem-Sahib," said the
kindly and gente-spoken ayah, as she ran
to Miss Bucknam with pit-pat of her bare
feet and a jingle of her ankle-loads of silver
bands and bangles; "salaam to her, sa-
laam; so-that very good. Now, Missy,
take him in your arms; he like you very
much"
"I'm afraid I'd spill him." Miss Buck
nam said. 81 haven't ever handed baby,

never had one in my arms"
"Doo-ool Doo-oo!" the little gentle
man chirped, as he strained with both arms
toward her in his impatience to have this
lnconSequential dialogue end.
And then a miracle came to pass: fol Miss
Buchanan took him in her arms and, with
the action, found that she knew as we'll
how to handle baby as if she had been the
mother of six. After all, 1t was nothing but
the woman in her-this wonderful miracle.

"You're like an angel to me-" the sick

The compliment fell like blow. Miss
Bucknam Shrank back as if to ward it off.
"Don't talk crazy" she said.
In this sick-chamber the beautiful girl
grew to be confidential, to breathe out her
heart, to regard the patient as a confessor,
as one so much closer TO death than to life
that condolences were not stayed by caution,
as they would have been with another to
hear them.
''You are being blessed" said the mis-
