erts-@In the BrOodlng Wild" by Ridgwen CuIIum--"CamerOn of LO- chieI3' Translated by Charles G. D. Roberts Forthcoming Books-aIag-
 a=ines. Brothers in PeriT' well deserves the handsome recognition it is receiving from press and public. It is story of old Newfoundland in the early seven teenth century by Theodore Roberts. Published by L. c. Page and Company, Boston. It is a love story and an In- dian story and none who enjoy thrill ing story, a really good story, should miss it.
 T have drawn the wilderness of that far time,' says MT. Roberts, "in the likeness of the wilderness as knew it and loved it few short years ago. l have dared to resurrect an extinct type for the purpose of fiction. l have drawn inspiration from the spirit of history rather than the letter. But the heart of the wilderness and the hearts of men and women I have pictured in this romance of olden time as l know them today"
 MT. Roberts tells spiritedly of the ad- venturous life in primitive days when hardy Voyagers sought wealth in the Newfoundland fisheries and game, and in the tale the Boethic Indians, the battles of these warriors between them selves and the aboriginal Newfound- flanders, and many scenes of adyen- tures, are brought prominently into the action, and after making much of the doings of a youthful native whose brave spirit promises to loom large in the story, the author turns to another Indian youth, and the unexpected un- folding of the tale follows.
 So here are the Boethic warriors liv- ing again and fighting among them selves, Panounia conquering Soft Hand and Wolf Slayer growing up to hate Ouenwa, the dreamer, whose fortunes are to be cast among the pale-faces. Meanwhile, out above storm, stress, conspiracy and adventure shines the love of Bernard Kingswel, young gen. tleman seeker of new kingdoms, and of the maid Beatrix, exiled with an un-I worthy father"
 The Boethfcs are a very interesting tribe and the historical setting, though slight is excellent. s It is a vigorous and striking story. Theodore Roberts, the author Of the romance, is more widely known, per- haps, as a poet than as a writer of fic- tion, the principal work in prose stand ing to his credit being 'Hemming the Adventurer,'' issued by the above named publishers. He is a brother of, Charles G. D. Roberts, whose delight. full romances of Acadian life are widely known The brothers have sister, Mrs Elizabeth Roberts Mcdonald, who is also known as a writer of graceful verse, So the family has achieved ssometfling, more than an ordinary repu- tation for literary ability. For some years Theodore Roberts resided at St. Johns, Newfoundland, and it is this < fact probably that led him to select the early history of the province as the theme for his romance. Because of the unhackneyed nature of it's scenes and the little known history that he has worked into the tale, Brothers in Per l usually accorded at this day to the TO- nance of colonial times.
 Brothers in Peril" is handsomely il- lustrated in colors by H. c. Edwards; price $1.50; for sale by the E. P. Judd Company.
 "In the Brooding Wild" is another book of real heart interest, strong and vividly written, from the pen of Ridg- well Cullum, and published by L. C.. Page and Company. It is a thrilling story one of the few of this ilk of re- cent publication. The author has pro- duced other exciting tales of life in the wild, but in this his new work the note of tragedy is deep and moving. The scene is placed in the Northern Rock ies and incidentally the life of the mountain trappers and hunters stands out vividly, and no doubt accurately. Occasionally he gives way to flights of fancy as this:
 .AThe forest was alive with the cries of the feathered world, as they sought their rest in their newly built nests. It was not the bright chatter of gay song birds such. as belong to warmer climes, but the hoarse cries of water fowl and the harsh screams of preying lords of wing and air. The gray eagle in his lofty eyrie, the gold-crest vul- ture-haWk, creatures that live the strenuous life of the silent lands, fowl that live by war. The air was very still; the prospect perfect with wild, rugged beauty
 Two brothers, Ralph and Nick West ley, are trappers, living in hut in the E, seclusion of a forest clearing. Good, everyday sort of fellows they are, and when a half-breed trader tells them a mysterious tale of the White Squaw, living alone in the wilderness, they &C., cept 1t as true and go in search of her, but return from a fruitless journey, to find her at their cabin door. She cre- ates jealousy between the brothers, and this starts the troublous ball a-rolling, < and it never stops until the end of the tale. The woman has come, really, as spy, to find the hiding place Of their gold, to help 8 thieving rascal that she is unworthily in love with.
