type which he loves TO describe. They are
brothers, going into the Church and the
other studying medicine Both have their Iapses
from grace, including bitter misunderstanding
over woman. and both find their destiny and
reconciliation with God and with each other
in strenuous work for their fellow men during
the construction of a transcontinentaI railway
in Canada. Although it is called "a tale of the
Rockies" the scene does not shift from the
Province of Ontario where it opens, until the
story is more than half told. One of the young
heroes loves girl who prefers his brother.
While the latter has set his affections on
young woman whose heart IS divided between
her love for her lover and her ambition for a
musical career The adjustment Of relations
so complicated is not easy task for novel

this instance by the peaceful removal of one
Of the characters and the violent disposal of
another, leaving the remaining pair to console
each other for their mutual losses. II is not
Mr.. GordOn's way to admit his readers to a
close intimacy with the mental processes of the
people about whom he writes but he draws
each individual in such broad and suggestive
outlines and describes their actions with so
vivid touch that it is not hard to arrive at q
correct notion Of the motives which govern
them As in his other stories, the religious ele-
ment is never lost sight of. but it is viewed as
il affects the lives of a number Of very human
persons, endowed with strong passions The
authors theology is of a broadness that is will
ing to overlook points of doctrine in the securing
Of general results.

and perhaps instructive-as a picture Of certain
phases Of social life on the Pacific Coast than
it is engaging as a romance Her lovers make

hero. Desertion is sufficient ground for divorce
in California and the fond and wealthy parent
is determined that his daughter shall have the
man she wants, if he can bribe the detrimental
wife to leave the country The situation is not
a pleasant one, but it is handled with no little
skill in a series Of lively scenes, in which the
readers sy1npathies. whether Intentionally or
not, are all enlisted in favor of the plucky little
woman fighting for her husband.
A hero of quite another sort is held up for our
admiration in Mrs, Baillie ReynoIds's novel
~Thalassa-" He, too has been mismated lover,
the husband of a wife already welded, but he
has extricated himself from his predicament
without extraneous assistance and settled down
to n life of premeditated misanthropy. Suddenly
saddled. by the death of old friend, with

whom he falls violently in love he successfully
disguises his feelings under a mask Of rudeness
and brutality that drives her from his house

Professor S. +. X Van Dusen, assisted by the

A ZULU WARCRY.
j Notes and Queries.

The Zulu warcry used, whenever they take
the field by the South African footballers now
in London, has puzzled our newspapers, not
one of which seems able to spell it correctly.
THE Daily Express gives it S "IgamiZho,"
and The Daily Mali "GammiO." The cry
really consists of two words. and should be writ
ten "IgaIna Iayo." "Igama" is Zulu for name"
and "IaYo" is a poSsessive pronOun meaning
either his or their" Thus The Daily Mail
although quite wrong in its photography of the
cry is right in saying that it merely means
THAT is his name" The explanation is that
Zulu etiquette does not allow warriors, when
they rush into battle to mention the names OF
their enemies but the leaders shout out, That
