Curly, by Roger Pocock, is a yarn that
ought to please anyone fond Of tales Of
the rough life Of the far southwest.
There is real humor in it, and there is

following in his Footsteps. The rob,
Der, however, undertakes the task Of
working the ruin of a ranchero, Brit

Irish descent, cherishes hatred and is
willing to pay literally to see it sat,
the Briton saves the life Of Curly, and
Curly's father calls off the plot. Ryan,
however, becomes all the more deter

many thrilling situations and subse

Chalkeye Davies, extraordinary both as
a cowboy and as raconteur, in the
latter capacity much Of humorist.
For example, he narrates with all seri-

fountain pen with which to sign a
compact, and if Curly's father, in the
same hiding place, didn t make use of

4 THE APPROACH TO PHILOsO-
PHYS GOAL.-The Evolution of
knowledge, by Raymond St. James
4 Perrin. is one of the class known as
histories Of philosophy. The writer
intends it to be something more than
the ordinary history Of philosophy. His
aim is to compare ''the chief systems
of ancient and modern thought,
the object being to measure the APP
proach Of each system to the goal of
philosophy which is the demonstration
Of the unity of all things" just why
