Robert Cavelier.

The career of Robert Cavelier de la
Sale is a romance which needs but little
establishment 10 become a narrative of
considerable fascination. Mr.. William Da-
Wis circuit has not written an historical
novel, but novelized history, for he has
woven the dramatic events of the explorers
life into vivid and beautiful story, re-
jecting that portion of history which does
not leave a sweet taste. For instance. the
author does not carry La Sales romance
to the actual end, preferring to close at a
happier point in the Frenchmans life. The
scenes shift from old France to new France,
where La Sale conceived his great plan
and where his love story began. The gilt
tering, frivolous court of Versailles is well
described, as are the privations and strug
giles in the forest wilderness. The pictures
of Versailles are drawn largely from the
contributions of Saint Simond and Saint
Armand. The relations of Louis XIV to
new France form an important part in the
history of his remarkable reign, and the
influence which Madame De Maintenon
welded over the Sun King changed the
destinies of the world. In this narrative
the author has considered this woman as a
tool of the Jesuits in the accomplishment
OF their purpose, but absolutely conscien-
tious in what she believed to be her divine
mission. A. c. McClurg & Co. Chicago.

Huldah.

This is a pretty story of a beautiful char
acter. Huldah Sarvice, the motherly, big
hearted soul who keeps an eating house in
a Western cattle town, will find a place in
the affections of every person who reads
the story of her self-sacrificing life. If she
is Western type, then one need not won
der at the noble men and women our new
country produces. Huldah keeps a hotel in
the southwestern cattle country. Her place
is called THE Wagon Tire House." from
her custom OF pounding upon a wagon tire
instead or gong to summon her boarders
TO meals. She is a benevolent soul; a mag
net who attracts to herself those more
helpless and less fortunate than she is,
helping them, cheering them and sending
them on their way bettered and strength
ened Her house is always full of orphan
and dependent children who have been left
on her hands. These she cares for as a
wise and loving mother would, sha ping
their characters and helping them TO other
homes or to ability TO look after them
selves. The authors-Alice MACEDONIAN and
Grace MACEDONIAN Cooke-say of il: 1T is
a very simple. humble little story; it is not
pretentious, we cannot hope that il will as
tonsh people: but if il pleases, entertains-
and if by good fortune il reaches their
hearts-we shall feel that it has done all
II was aimed TO do
1t has done this-such a story cannot fail
to reach the heart of every reader. There
is plot; not an involved one but still
thread that holds the chapters together
acters themselves have aroused. These
characters-"Sissy," Cess and Tell. little
Gilbert, the proprietor of the Round Up
saloon, the lady from Georgia, Daisy, and
Lone Detherege-are all drawn .skillfully
and will remain in the memory like old
acquaintance. 1t may not be to the dis
credit of the authors that il is impossible
to read this book without thinking of Mrs.
Wigs of the Cabbage Patch" The same
unfiinching optimism in the face of trials;
the same genial, if homely, epigrams of
good cheer; the same broad charity of soul
and works is found in "Huldah" that makes
Mrs. Wigs popular and loved. But it is
not imitation; the literature of the day
needs more such characters as this. The
story is wholesome and true and it's appeal
is to the heart. On this merit il will stand

A Civil War story.

1.-THE Issue" by George Morgan, is
story of quite an unusual sort. Many
novels with some phase of the civil war
a background have been written and
for the most part have been but poor
things. II not trivial they have fallen
short of their possibilities. perhaps because
the writers have really known but little
of the great conflict about which they
undertook to write. They are limited in
scope and deal. each of them. chiefly with
some individual romance. Mr.. Morgan
takes wider canvas. He begins with
events that precede the war by ten, TWEEN
~, thirty years. The first of these is
negro uprising in South Carolina, a half
insane black man leading an instruction
that was soon quelled, but not until after
murder had been done and property de-
stroyed. 1t is a striking picture the writer
draws of this early tragedy, the like OF
which may have occurred often in the
South but of which little is heard now
adays, when the Southern assertion is that
negroes were never feared when they were
slaves. In this savage attack upon the
whites two little children, unrelated, were
made orphans. Years after they figure
Virginia battlefields, one as "a nurse, the
other as Union soldier, and their fortunes
become intertwlned. But these are only
two of many characters in the book; there
are so many in fact, as to be rather be-
wildering. The author lacks Skill in keep
as they relate TO individuals. What he
does picture is war. His plot is bold, his
treatment vigorous; he takes his soldiers
TO the batJlehelds and tells what happens
there. The descriptions of the battles of
Bull Run, Antietam and Gettysburg read
as If he had seen the things he pictures
so wildly. A publishers note says he has
spent ten years in gathering his material:
he has certainly made the material his
own. He tells as has not been done before
the story of army life i'm northern Vir-
ginia. of the campaigns of the Army of the
Potomac, of the field work of the Sanitary
Commission The story unfOlds like a
panorama. One knows he is seeing war
II was. There is touch of the politics of
the time, a glimpse of the difficulties that
beset the administration, the incompetency
In high places, the jealousy, the treach-
cry, the lack of proper understanding of
the situation among Union officers. Pres
ident Lincoln himself appears on one or
two occasions. There are portraits of other
men of the time-Lee, Jackson, Jeb Stuart
Longstreet, Meade, Hancock and McClel-
lan-making the whole picture so real that
the story seems history rather than fiction,
yet history animated by a human interest
often lacking in serious annals.
