Giovanni kept hearing the buZZing of the

not much on account of what he was

air of Indifference. And this was what it

FAITHFUL SHEPHERDS.
BY MARY AUSTIN.

What happened to Noe and Reina Maria

his own. tracked them from the day they
struck the ranchera of Peter Lebecque
backward to where they found the body of
Mariana, big and overblown by flies There
was nothing to tell from it except that it
had been a man. The 1ock, it seemed must

it, forging forward little by the trail

that he had killed, and kept the flock close
They went on little from there doubt
fully, but presently, it seemed. they made
certain, by what gift God knows, that the
shepherd would not return. They headed
the flock toward the place Of The Reed

ond night brought them-for qhey made
pace slowly-to a very close-grown and
woody stretch of country. all a-tumble of
great boulders among the trees They
found themselves brought up against a
crisis. Through the middle of this copse
ran a stream full and roaring from the
rains. What urgency they used-Rena Ma
ana Noe, who was young-couId not be
guessed. Sufficient that they got the flock
so near the crossing that some two or
three were drowned. But they could do no
more; they went, perforce. upstream Here
is matter for wonder, and made talk in
sheep camps wherever the dogs of Del
Mar-for they were of that breed-were
known. The Reed lay nearest as the crow
fles going down stream; the only hope of
crossing lay upstream, where there might

1t seems, was a disagreement. They were
hungry, no doubt overwrought and one of
them loved himself more than the flock. 1t
was a question of saving the sheep. who did
very Well, or saving their own skins Noe
would and Reina Maria would not So they
fought, faint and a-hungered, one for him

silly sheep strayed bleating through the
scrub. The battle went to Reina Maria: il

Mr.. Fox AYERS that the Japanese occupies
toward the white man the same position as
that of the educated negro in the United
States. while holding himself toward the
Chinese as does that same educated negro
toward the old-style plantation uncle. >
This comparison is doubtless subject to
amendment when the author has forgotten
some of his ohagrin.
But while he was dallying in Japan. wait

talks with the Maid of Miyanoshita are

AT THE FORD OF THE ROCKIES. BY
Carter Goodloe. Illustrated New
York: Charles Scribner's Sons.
Life on the Canadian frontier has its
three elements: the British soldier, the set
tier and the Indian. Any one who has
travelled along these prairies toward the
Rockies will remember how closely the
country resembles that which lies just south
across the border--the prairies of the
states"-but the difference between phys
ical and political geography asserts itself
at once. and the traveller is definitely on
British soil. Miss Goodloe records a sum-
mer spent at military post in western

tensely real. Amanda of the MIL is a
love story. passiOnately conceived and
strongly written, in which the philanthro-
pist never dominates the artist. The char
acters are warm with life and the action
is genuine and convincing. A peculiarly
difficult transition Is dealt with in Book
Ill and if there Is any weakening in the
story 1t Is here. At the death of her bene-
factress, Amanda, once a pathetic little
figure at the loom, returns to the mills
after twelve years of culture and pros
perity. At this point the writer departs
from her method of acute characterizat. ton
and becomes conventional; but she slowly
gains in power until in the fourth book she
concludes her drama with that artistic ma
turity which proves her to be a novelist
of exceptional force.
