THE HEROINE OF THE STRAIT. by
Mary Catherine Crowley:
published by Little. Brown and Co. For
sale by Preston a Rounds. $3.50.
We have often thought that an import
ant function of the historical romance
might be to lead the reader to read ro-
mantle history itself Fact is often
stranger than fiction and, as rule. such
episodes of history as are selected as the
background OF the historical romance are
themselves filed with romance that the
perversion or alteration or imagination
OF the novelist can hardly improve on. We
should say that the tendency of the de-
velopment OF the contemporary historical
romance has been to utilize more and
more the actual romantic facts of history.
the real history of the period or episodes
selected And this tendency has on the
whole increased the interest and value OF
the historical romance.
We are moved to renew these thoughts
by a reading of the newest historical ro-
nance, '"rhe Heroine of the Strait by
the author OF "A Daughter OF New
France" II is a novel based on the con-
spiracy of Pontiac that remarkable up
rising of the Indians to recover from the
English the land that without consulting
the original owners, the French had
turned over. The story is told with little
departure from the historical facts and
the sources OF these are acknowledged by
the author. Real personages figure al
most altogether In the romance and real
incidents are the incidents of the tale.

parsonage, figures as the hero and, IL Is
his romance with a daughter OF French
Canada that furnishes the chief theme
of love interest. The book is written with
great spirit and the love story of Ster-
ling and Angelique Is engagingly thread
ed through the hair raising events that
had to do with the pitiless seige of De-
troit. Angelidue Is charming heroine.
Her vivacity, her piquancy, and her rare
courage and loyalty go to make her a
delightful girl TO know in romance or
reality.
And. perhaps. the highest mission the
new romance can accomplish will be to
direct the reader TO the glorious histories
of Parkman published in various attrac-
tive editions by the same publishers AZ
ter all. none of the historical romancers
can quite come up to Parkman for en-
thralling interest-although he was an
historian and not novelist.

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest Of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. It not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.
