Cooks novel q first rate book The characters have manhood and womanhood real blood runs in their veins, and the telling of the story makes you feel yourself that you would like to have taken part in the adventures. It Is a story of Maximillian's empire in Mex leo and It's fall. Roderick the leading has abandoned one lost cause to fight for another. Of course he sees and loves the beautiful Spaniard Fehse at the be- ginning of the book, and carries her off at the end Felise Is also loved by De Castro, a General on the opposite side, who from the start is jealous of Talia- ferro and forever laying traps for him The struggle of the two for the girl Is lively in the extreme. MT. Cook effects the epigrammatlc style of Frankfort Moore-possibly he things 1t Is George Merediths, but 1t is not. Early in the book he is at times merely ridiculous, as when he says. his nose was hooked, his forehead widened above the temples.

 As a novelist, Thomas Dixon Is sadly deficient. As a narrator of facts, as a historian, which he proves himself to be in 'The Leopard's Spots." his made quacy to write entertainingly is not so pitiably evident. He is too intensely dramatic to depict natural homegrown, in-laid character. Moderation is miss ing lego with him; 1t Is the missing link in his chair of reason. He individuallzes a man or woman without portraying in the slightest the finer points of their per- sonaities. We Will all agree that each person he creates stands out prominently on the horoscope of our memories. but that IS all; there is nothing particular about them which we can remember, and which affords us a distinct thrill of ela- ton or sadness to recall In "The One Woman" he has failed to provoke any other feeling In the reader but that of sincere disgust.

 In the beginning of this book. the writer. Thomas Dixon, calls the narra- tive that follows 8 story of modern Utopia. And I, en humble reviewer, with all respect due to the man who wrote ''The Leopard's Spots" and the possible saneness of his intentions in publishing this last catch-penny device, beg leave to say that tine One Woman in my estima- ton is ridiculous farce.
 1 notice also that he dedicates this last novel of his to a Scotch love of romantic literature, and thereby, unfairly and un- justly, creates the impression in the minds of the unknowing that this Sham between blood red covers he has sounded the toe. sin of the Scotchman's most exalted idea Of polite literature and his partiality for very dramatic situations in real life and story. But in this he has utterly failed; for, ''The One Woman" Is a very much stretched and over-drawn affair. And I. an humble reviewer, again beg to say in behalf of my kilted grandsires, that this burIesque on the Grand Passion of the Soul. this anamorphosis cannot be accept ed as a sound. logical and wholesome fact, much less a possibility. It Is true that the Scotchman is a romantist at heart; you might even call him an ex- trem,st, and he has been known to be very liberal in his views of the many diverse theories of the Babbier, the nine teenth century philosopher and the luna tic, but two-penny farce, seriously writ

IN PICCADILLY.
By Benjamin Swift.

Piccadilly, the great street of the West End of London-the swell end of London is certainly an admirable subject for a story, and MT. Swift has tried to give us some suggestion of the great bass roar and sweeping current of life that constitutes London, the metropolis of the world There is something in London that is to be found nowhere else. It is pity that our author had not a heart attuned to that mighty bass. Ip his book he gives us no more than the froth and foam on the top of the human stream. while the strong waters run far beneath him, unsuspected. His characters have a natural air; but they are a contempt ible lot. Moreover the author through nut makes a silly attempt to suggest im- propriety. What he actually says is harmless enough,-it is not even spicy; and to be quite frank, the hardened reader of French novels would be bored. while others would be disgusted, (G. P. Putnams Sons.

Professor Sommerville wields a charm. ing pen, and is delightful travelling com panion. In this little volume he says he relates his own experiences in travel. and the characters are all people he has met and known; and you feel this while read ing the book.
 There are delightful little sketches of the villages in Southern France, with the quaint people and their very quaint be- liefs. The cream of the stories. however, is that of Adelia. a most fascinating gypsy girl, and her pet horse. Joliffe. Adelia was a remarkable girl. She tells how she was adopted when a child by Madame Deschamps, was instructed in the Catholic religion. and in other things. but how all the time the gypsy gift of fortune-telling with cards stayed with her. She finally engaged 10 go with a caravan as the fortune-teller, but she was conscientious in all her dealings She was never quite satisfied with the Cath o9ic fafth and once when fin hospital c Protestant nurse told he to pray to Christ and not to the Saints. and gaxs her a little Bible, and strange as It seems. this rowing gypsy girl became a true Christian. There are many strange tales recorded here of the beliefs and super stitions that are held by the peasant folk of meridional France that will delight the lovers of folk lore. (Drexle Riddle.

THE SUBSTITUTE.

by Wlil N IldFDtIs
 The title of this story tells its motif. It deals with a case of remorse for a crime committed and with the singular method of expiation which the criminal followed The criminal was MT. Hilyer. The crime was murder, of which he was acquitted through the perjury of friend at the time of the trial. Mir. Hilyer. in the estimation of his neighbors, simply xii ed a man in elf-defense. But he him self is conscious of his guilt which preys upon his mind. At last he hits upon the expedient of finding substitute for him self and by heaping upon him every ad- vantage seeks to prepare this substitute to fill the useful place in society that he himself might have filled. This substi- ute is George Buckley, youth of hum ble station but attractive personality and character. To tell the rest of the story would be to anticipate the reader. Enough to say that it holds its interest to the end, the incidents and situations being en- livened with many flashes of quaint hu- nor. QIarper & Brothers, New York;

 Dr. Torrey has been wonderfully bless ed as he has preached during the past two years throughout the world. The addresses in this volume have been de- livered to congregations often numbering three. four, and at times six thousand, in Australia. New Zealand and later In the British Isles. They are now issued sim ultaneously In Great Britain and Ameri- ca. They are characterized by unusual clearness of statement and absolute frankness in stating great alternatives, and are wonderfully searching in appllca- tion- They are packed with illustrations and incidents, mainly drawn from Dr. Torrey's own experiences, and there Is a vividness about these incidents that thrills the reader. No wonders thenas ad- dresses have been blessed. for such tes- timony God will undoubtedly own and use. The volume is adapted not merely for general circulation among the un- converted, but as a study for speakers and preachers. Fleming H. Revel Co.,, Chicago.)

 Rev. pr. Gordon states the faith of Charles W. Eliot, IL.

In a most picturesque and strongly written article in Scribner's Magazine. Frederick Irland tells of the Wyoming Game Stronghold" The following excerpt from the article will show the beauty of Mir. IrianGs language: There Is yet a region within the domain of the United States where undisputed the wild goose makes her nest, and where the spirit of the wilderness smiles down serene as in the days of old.
 Elk, antelope, and deer have been so long banished from many Western States that most people imagine they belong to a past that can never be recalled. But if you would behold something very like the sights witnessed by the first expior- CTS of the West; if you would see ante lope by hundreds and Wapiti by thous- ands. go to the great valley a Wyoming between the Shoshone and the Wind Riv- CT Mountains on the east, and the Tetons on the west. I was there for two months in the spring of 1908. and if had not taken many photographs, should doubt my own recollection of the vast numbers of these animals I saw. ss
 Among the most interesting reminis- cences of early times in these mountains are the many ruined fences and pens built long ago by the Sheep-Eater In- dians. They were the poorest of the Shoshones. They had no guns or horses. and were compelled to hunt at short range. Selecting a natural pass, they would build low barriers of fallen tim- Der, extending wing-like for long dis tances. These fences would persuade the elk and deer and sheep into the narrow path that led to destruction, for it ended in close pen in which the panlc-stricken animals could be clubbed to death. As late as twenty years ago these pens were used by Indian hunters, and some of the rude constructions still remain in fairly good condition.
 One of the most fascinating articles of It's kind, both as to illustration and sub ject matter, appears in McClure's, enti- tied Andrews Raid. It is story of the wild time of 1882 and describes an inci- dent of the union campaign of that year in the West. Many are familiar with the famous General Incident" on the Western and Atlantic Railroad, and this will serve to freshen their minds. The descriptive power of the author Is excel- lent. as this typical passage will show: Then we were off again, dropping ties. Now and then they slowed up to clear the track, and we could see them work ing with our own fury. We had wood, a great head of steam now, and we might make 1t yet We drew out of sight. We passed through Triton and pulled up at the water tank. We needed water. An drews told the old Powder story and We could hardly keep straight faces in our wrecked car"
 And before the tank was full they were in sight, and we were off again for Dalton. Dalton was the biggest town since Marietta. Before we reached it we halted on a curve, cut wires, and pulled up rails. In the town we stopped at the
