THE DOG BOOK, a Popular History Of
the Dog, with Practical Information
as to Care and Management Of House,
Kennel and Exhibition Dogs, and De-
scriptions Of all the Important Breeds.
By James Watson. In ten parts-Part
". illustrated from photographs.
New York: Doubleday. Page s. Co.
Mr.. Watson's fourth installment of his
Invaluable dog book" Is of unusual inter-
est. In 1t he describes the field, cocker,
Norfolk Welsh and Irish water spaniels
and the pointer. All Of these dogs are pic
turesque and have histories that strongly
appeal to the attention of both the breeder
of dogs and the general admirer of the
animals. The author points out that the
field spaniel is a distinctly modern type,
having been bred from a mixture of the
Sussex and the old black strains. OF the
cookers he has much to say, devoting
considerable portion of the space in this
volume to them. The remarkable qualities
of the famous Obo II as a sire are attest
ed. and some especially fine photographs
of priZewinning dogs of this breed are re-
produced In connection with the descrip-
aon of the pointers Mr.. Watson tells. in
The words of a contemporary author. Of the
famous pig pointer, a well-known charac-
ter in hunting circles in England somewhat
over a century ago This pig was trained
to the field and surpassed many famous
dogs In the accuracy of her work 1t Is
sad commentary that after she had grown
stout and slothfu-she cut up into 100
pounds of pork-she was slain by her owner
instead of being pensioned on the abun-
dant acorns of his park. Verify, the ami
NAL ending is tragic.
THE HUNDRED DAYS. BY Max Pember-
ton. author of Doctor Xavier" SC H.
Illustrated. New York: D. Appleton g.
Co.
Yyonne de Feyrolles, young, beautiful,
willful, but loyal to her idol, Napoleon, was
a hunted fugitive from the soldiers of King
Louis XVIII. She was engaged in carrying
messages between the exile of Elba and his
faithful friends in France. Nobody seri-
ously believed that Napoleon would VEN
ture back to France. or that if he did he
could rally more than a cOrporals guard.
But Yvonne had greater faith. She sought
shelter in an isolated chalet, whose owner
was himself exile. an Englishman against
whom the wheel of fortune had turned in
his own country. He shielded her from
rest, connived al her escape and later Joined
his fortunes with those of Napoleon when
the exile landed and marched overland to
Paris, gathering strength as he went.
Throughout the hundred days Bernard st.
Armand and Yvonne strove for NapOeOns
success; the man in charge of the arsenal
at Vincennes, the woman at court. Then
came the advance to Waterloo, the battle,
the grand flight and these two cast up by
the current, were left on the roadside in
each others arms, happy al last even In
their hour of bitter disap poutment. Yvonne
learned to know the true worth of the Eng
lishman. and her experiences with men were
such that she could appreciate him. She
had been loved. more or less lightly. by
many woOers, some of them villains. others
mere puppets. With one of the villains the
story has to do. in some measure. briskly
and dramatically. There is much fighting
and intrigue and some comedy. Napoleon
figures largely in the scenes. He IS chiefly
shown in the first stage of the invasion,
when he wins over the garrison at Gren-
oble and assures his entrance into Paris,
and then at the Tuileries. where he is a
very electric battery for energy and talks
necessarily. Mr.. Pembcrton has rendered
a story that does not flag at any point and
has presented an interesting picture of the
hundred days.
