duty" in all of which he made a botch, and in a fit of rage declared what he be- iieved to be an unvarnished falsehood, that the chevalier was an illegitimate child.
 After this scene, the Chevalier. feeling that he could not seek the woman he he'd loved for two years and not even knowing her name, and who in reality was Madam de Brissac. the woman at whom he had sneered in his younger days' sailed for Quebec. with Victor du Sou niaise for his companion, two years pre- viously, Madam de Brissac having heard of the Chevaliers numerous ccnquests, had determined to see him. went mas ouarading to court balls, and with malice aforethought enslaved him completely, but always refused to divulge her identity. This was her mode of revenge to Mon sieur le Comte for grinding her miniature under his heel. He had not been able to discover who she was. but had madly and constantly loved her for two years, wheth- CT it was her pure gracious beauty and winning personality, or the mystery. IS a question But one thing on which Mad am had not counted happened: She loved the Chevalier
 By a strange freak Madam de Brissac, upon the discovery that the political pa- pers were missing, decided to go to Que bee with her cousin who was thitherward bound to enter a convent because of her disappointed love for Victor. And so the scene is rapidly shifted to the new coun- try, Monsieur le Marquis and his faith full Jehan coming over upon the same ship with Madam and her cousin Anne, to swallow the cruel lie he had told his son and as he thought lawful heir. Finally all are disposed of, and the Chevalier wins Madam de Brissac. The letter from de Brissac falls into the hands of Brother Jacques who is the son of the Marquis wife and not the son of the miller's daughter, MaFgot Bourdeloue, who Is now in Quebec also and is Sister Benie. This secret comes to Brother Jacques after the Marquis de Perigny's death. and he tears the letter in pieces and goes into the fer est for missionary work among the In' dians. bidding farewell to his brother, tho ChevaIier, and takes the secret with him.

er." in which the dual authors, Agnes and Egerton Castle, is marked with the usual delicacy of touch of these writers. A delightful story truly. with a romantic setting. In a landscape of rare beauty is an English Castle; surrounded by @ garden of sweet smelling herbs. which many lands have contributed; thick walls and a locked gate; and here a drama is enacted which holds the reader as with a spell. The power of pure affection. and the ideality of woman is the motif of the book. The dash of humor in the rector's wife is an engaging quality fin such work.

He also finds an old age-eaten letter addressed ITO Monsieur le Marquis de Perigny. to be delivered into his hands at my death. In the perusal of this letter the Vicomte becomes so interested that the rapid flight of time passed without his notice, until he was rather abruptly recalled by de Brissac himself entering the room. In an encounter he killed de Brissac, and escapes with both papers. but 1t appears the much sought after political document was lost in his flight.
 This gray cloak of the Chevalier du Ce- vennes or Monsieur le Comte de Perigny had been loaned to his devoted friend, Victor du Saumaise. and when the Chev- alier was brought before Mazarin. the Cardinal Minister. to be held accountable for the Counts death. the matter of the grey cloak was brought in evidence. The Chevalier having been on mission to Rome for the King, had been absent month. and denied any part in the assas- sination of de Brissac. It became clear to Mazarin that the Chevalier was shield ing a friend. and upon refusing to tell to whom the loan of his grey cloak had been made during his absence to Rome Mazarin determined to banish him from court for five years. He then went to his fathers house in Rochelle, who was a wealthy nobleman. The Chevalier had been at court in Paris. and only receiv- ing a quarterly allowance from his father on account of a disagreement with the Marquis who when sixteen had desired him to marry the daughter of the Duch- ess de Montbazon, now Madam de Brisi sac. It seems that without the Cheva- Hers sanction miniatures had been ex- changed. When the Marquis presented him with that of Mademoiselle de Mont bazon. together with his desires, he had ground the one under foot without glanc- ing at it. and had laughed at the other as preposterous.

HIS DAUGHTER FIRST.
BY A. s. HARDY.

This is MT. Hardy's latest society novel. He belongs to a school of novelists com posed of Brander Matthews. Arlo Bates. Basil King and Robert Herrick-men who do finished work. and who make comedy and drama out of the dinners and house. parties of American fashionable life. They are skilled craftsmen. their diction is finished and polished. they never of- fend ones tastes. they are guilty of none of the roughness of even more brilliant artists. but. somehow. they don't sat isfy. They leave one cold and hungering for some sort of individuality. Their characters are all alike. their diction is also without any special character; it has the sound of having been edited by the professor of English composition in some university.
 The plot in these novels is never com plicated. and the characters are neither particularly dull. nor bright nor good. nor wicked. His Daughter First" is no exception. The action takes place in a country house and at millionaire's es- tablishment in New York. The million aire who Is widower is in love with the mistress of the country house, and his daughter opposes the marriage. She. in turn. falls fin love with an adventurer

''The Grey Cloak" Harold McGrath's new book. if it does nothing else. fulfills the purpose of the author, who says: 'It Is a romance written to entertain" It en- tertains, and is highly favored with that, at all times interesting spice of life, TO- manticism, bountifully interspersed with duels by moonlight at sunrise, at table, and in the drawing room.
 It hold ones attention from start to finish; not a page Is dull uninterest- ing It is a true picture of French life about the time of Louis XIII. and Car dinal- Minister Mazarin, and depicts French degeneracy to perfection, show ing a thorough knowledge of the times. The Marquis de Prigny. one of the chief characters, who had given all the days of the years of his life to frivolity. gay society and libertanism, still had some qualities one can but admire. The un- usual amount of gore through which one is called upon to wade is somewhat start ling. but hardly more than one might expect to find in hot-blooded Frenchmen in that time in pleasure-loving, wicked Paris, where the book first opens. and then the scene is transferred to Quebec. sunny new Fance," as they called 1t, all who partake in the scheme of the book gathering in the last named place in short order, for reasons best known to themselves.
 The entire interest of the book centers around one young woman of twenty-a married woman. Mademoiselle Gabrielle de Montbazon, who came out of a con vent with little knowledge of the world and was hurriedly married by her mother who was still too young to acknowledge that she had grown daughter, to Count de Brissac, of whom one of Madam de Montbazon's lovers said ''The daughter is three times younger than her husband who is old enough to be the father of his wife's mother"
 Madame was used by Count de Brissac though innocently on her part, to decoy men into his political salon and entangle them into political schemes and intrigues for Madam de Brissac was charming mysterious, winning and illusive.
 Numbers of mep were at her feet, three of them, Vicomte d'Halluys. Victor de saumaise, and Count DHerouville. had signed reasonable paper together with de Brissac and others. The Vicomte in order to get possession of that paper stole the Chevalier de Cevennes' grey cloak, the only one of its kind in Paris in fact a style which the Chevalier had set,-in order that suspicion might fall

 With the exception of rather stilte& dialogue in places. the novel is . success The character of Mabie Tenl- pie, the wilful daughter of John Temple. is well drawn, and in spite of it's imper- fections. turns out to be lovabie in the end. and MT.

The struggle between these two wo- men for the affections of Reginald Heard. the adventurous stock broker. is dramatic and absorbing. and the effect is height ened by the detection of some shady fnan- eial operations on this young mans part by John Temple. These operations turn out not to be altogether shady operations. after all. and in the end John Temples daughter triumphs over the governess and marries the speculator.

In glancing over the table of contents of this volume. No. in a series. we have the impulse to turn at once to the chap ter on "The labor question in the King
 dom of God" We find a thoughtful, closely logical exposition of very per tinent subject. as is MT. Johnson's way. He remarks that "one of the greatest questions of the hour. in the church, is the labor question" He also says: Tn the world. vast combinations of capitals are being followed by vast combinations of labor. Trusts were never so far reach ing and comprehensive. The sons of toll were never so numerous and united. The attitude of each to the other should be friendly; for their interests blend.

blubbered, "and Ill-miss-all-the-fun-
n:boo-hoo-boo-hoo!" and Buster
opened the floodgates of grief and let
the deluge roll!
But Buster Browning was no quit
ter. He resolved to see that circus
come in if it was o'clock in the
morning. For the consumation of his
resolve, he called on Jimmie Stone
that afternoon and Jimmie promised!
The night before the great pageant
was to arrive, Buster retired early os-
tensibly resigned sacrifice to pattern
al pyres-only he wasn't.
When Buster had undressed he went
cautiously to the window and pulled
something. That something was a
fish-line. When Buster tumbled into
bed there was attached to his big toe,
the sore one to make sure he would
feel the signal, three hundred feet OF
fish line, the other end of which was
across the alley in Hubbard's barn
where the boys were arguing over
why is kangaroo??"
When the first toot Of the oncoming
train reached their ears in the gray
mist of dawn, Jimmie Stone was to
pull the string and awaken Buster.
But how could Hubbard's family cow
know anything about "the best laid
schemes O. mice and men?" Out
shopping in the midnight air she ac-
cidentally ran against and became en-
tangled in Busters fish-line tele-

This is why the entire neighbor-

of night by series Of shrieks that
