In the preface of this little volume
I'm and Out of the Lines" the author
explains that the account here presented
gives with accuracy and truthfulness
the experiences of one southern family
during the year 1S64-1S65. 1.-THE story Of
the war itself, of the battle which were
fought and of the victories which were
won by our fathers and brothers. has
been carefully written up. But
in the homes of the south. and particu-
larly in those districts which were be-
tween the lines occupied at one time by
Federal troops, at another by the Con-
federates, there were no commanding
generals to submit reports of what &C.
Cured Here the south was represented
only by her women and children.
Their story should be written out"
The author writes of the experiences
of herself and family as they occurred
in north Georgia; the relation is full of
sorrow and suffering and recalls neces-
sarily many a heartache. But the story
is not written In any hostile or unfriend-
ly spirit and is peryaded by the sweet
incense of noble, worthy deeds, and a
humor that relieves the tragic period.
The author writes:
mo man, not even a Confederate, can
appreciate why submission was easier
for the men than for the women of the
Confederacy. They had fought good
fight and when the end came they could
look back on duty well done; but We
had simply to suffer. We saw deeds OF
ld-blooded, deliberate cruelty done
either to ourselves, our families or our
friends and there was no help. Previ-
Gus to the war there did not exist race
of women so tenderly cared for as the
women of the south. That ehivalry-the
derision of those who could not compre-
bend twas our guard and protection.
1t stood between us and all harm. By
the fortune of war we experienced the
tender mercies of men who scorned these
doctrines and who shamed not to battle
with women; fighting it Is true, not
with blows. but with starvation and the

1.-THE Breath of the Gods" by Sidney
Mccall. Published by Little. Brown
& Co.
Sidney Mccall will be remembered as
the author of Truth Dexter" novel
of pronounced merit, which appeared
some four years ago. In the meantime
nothing has appeared from the pen of
this talented young author until the
present volume. which is a distinct adj
vance even upon the charm of his first
story.
'The Breath of the Gods is timely,
inasmuch as the setting of the back
ground is partly in Washington and
partly in Japan, and the finely drawn
characters of the yellow kingdom will
no doubt prove of especial interest at
the present time.
Did you ever notice how much the
opening chapter has to do with the Sue
cess of a story? 1t Is a dreary prospect
to be compelled to wade through pages
of introduction TO totally uninteresting
people. In strong contrast Is the initial
chapter In Mr.. McCalrs story In which
he invites us to attend brilliant COM
ing-out party at the home of Senator
Cyrus c. Todd in Washington. After
the spirited meeting with the Senator'S
wife his idolized daughter and her sin
gularly engaging young Japanese friend.
"Yuki" the reader is fairly won and
the author may feel perfectly sure that
he holds a willing listener by the but
tonhole. The appointment of Senator
Todd to the Japanese legation gives the
story a unique favor. and in the weav-
ing of the double romance Of Gwendolin
Todd and Yuld the story is full of deep
interest. The plot is strong. original and
vividly unfolded and the character work
wondrously contrasted taking as he
does types from three different rationale
ties-French American and Japanese.
IT is one of the very best books of the
season and is sure to enjoy wide popu-
larity.
