down.
To these rocks stretching out into the wild
Atlantic if pointing to the new world,
came, some twenty years ago, man who
wished to live and mediate alone. He
occupied a cave beside st. Budoc's tomb.
He carved a sheltered seat from which to
look on the immensely of sea and sky. And
there he sat and brooded of the prophecy
of Budoc, or the prophecy of Orval, as you
please to call it, because once, 400 years
before him, such another solitary brooder,
Philippe Olivarius, Cistercan monk was
struck in the same way by the same text.
then already ancient. and its fulfillment in
his time, and wrote a book upon it, dated
1914. And as the modern hermit sat beside
the tomb of Budoc meditating on the
prophecy of Budoc. it came to him that he
ought to complete the rock-carvings, which
the wind and waves had spared 1 900 years.
and represent the prophecy pictorially on
the spot where. LOCO years ago. it was
conceived.
This is why tourists who have auto

How far does the imagination play part

question which Capitalist Robinson and his

to answer by an experiment. In tracing
the course of this experiment Mr.. LeFevre

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ENG
LISH NOVEL. BY Wilbur L. Cross,
professor of English in the Sheffield
Scientific School Of Yale University.
New York: The Macmillan Company,
Washington: Brentano's.
This thorough and comprehensive work
on English fiction is based upon sound
scholarship. Prof. Cross has mastered his
material. and his presentation Is not only
logical In its general classihcations, but en-
tirely adequate In its particulars. For these
reasons 1t is an admirable textbook, and
the student will find, beside the organic
treatment Of the whole basis for an ex-
haustive study Of Independent periods. Con-
temporary criticism has been affected by
the methods of the scientist, and the pres
ent volume is an example of excellent Sc
lection and arrangement, requiring less
than three hundred pages for it's develop
ment. The matter is divided into the fol-
lowing chapters: Prom Arthurian Ro-
nance to Richardson" 1.-The Eighteenth
Century Realists," From Humphry Clink-
err to Waverly" Nineteenth Century
Romance" 1.-The Realistic Reaction" 1.-The
Return to Realism" The Psychological
Novel; and 1.-The Contemporary Novel"
The appendix provides a series of biblio-
graphical notes which will be of conyen-
fence to the student, and list of twenty
five prose fictions, showing In large out
line the development Of the English novel,
suggesting method of study that is not
only enjoyable but fundamentals course

An estimate Of contemporary writer's Is
always interesting and Prof Cross closes

THE WALKING DELEGATE. By Leroy
Scott. With frontispiece. New York:
Doubleday Page q Co. Washington:
Woodward a. Lothrop.
1t is not difficult to imagine that Mr.. Scott
has been inspired to write this dramatic
exposition of an evil phase of trades union
ism by the true story of the late Sam Parks
walking delegate of the iron workers union
of New York. In many respects the novel
follows the Parks case very closely. Parks
methods were the methods of Buck Foley,
the central figure of the tale His rela-
lions with the bosses were the same as
those maintained by Foley. The antagon-
ism displayed by honest members of his
union toward him is paralleled in the book
by the active crusading of Tom Heating,
sometime president of the union. But in
the climax Mr.. Scott judiciously departs
from the record He does not send Foley
to prison, but rescues him in a wildly dra--
matte manner from the grasp of the law
in the hour of his downfall In his account
of Foley's great power over the members
of the union Mr.. Scott displays an intimate
familiarity with the workings of these
