 Billy presses his suit and ends by eloping with the intellectual Miss R, Lamb upon her promise to do any thing If he produces the baby left ir her charge and whom she has permit ted to escape while she made notes in 1 the book of ''Tabulated Records" The courtship thus brought to A l happy end has extended over three years presumably to permit nauiesaKe baby Billy. whose runaway gave room
 Tor the older Billy's elopement, to grow old enough to toddle.
 Just before the wedding from the
 trars pulled by the brown colt, Miss
 Lamb Is made to declare that her name
 Is Rosemary" Not such a bad name
 after all for even an intellectual young
 lady though Miss Lamb has hidden 1t uncer an initial like a dark secret du- ring all her learned career.
 On the whole the cheering moral to be drawn is that an intellectual young lady can he won quite as easily as any ether sort of young lady.

 The Scholars Daughter, by Beatrice Horraden.-Miss Horraden is an author whose most popular romance Ships That Pass in the Night" sets her read- CTS at the outset to comparisons which we are told are odi1us. 'Ts 1t as good as Ships That Pass in the Night? is the first question of the reader The Scholars Daughter" is undoubtedly as good al Ships That Pass in the Night" How gooG was Ships That Pass Tn the Night?" It is fairest to the author to let popularity and not critics pronun- ciar6nto decide.
 This new romance is bright and sun nv. It is as attractive as an old fash toned country garden without geomet- rical design, but with plenty of color and wealth )f fragrance.
 The plot will not bear trial of rule and measure. No girl would have grown to be twenty-one without any knowledge of her mother. No father. even devoted to Dictionary. would be so inhumanly courteous and persistent ly cold No three book worms" would so amicably love one maiden and SO eagerly assist young Australian ranchman to win her. No great and notable scientist could change his name SO easily for even a good cause as the mighty maker of Dictionaries his from Cliveden to Grant No misunderstood wife would come all suddenly. herself a picture of guests and beauty. upon d husband just ready to courtecuslv welcome her after twenty years absence and d beautiful daughter already aiding her under her assumed stage name. But no one but Miss Harroden could present all these mpossibilities with such fetching harm. such fastening interest as we 1ere find them presented.
 The book worms though impossible | Ire every one delightful
