This view will be resented by all of
the Free State men of California who
lived in that day, and even the Slave
State men will hardly be able to re-

active outdoor life here depicted is very

There is much said about the perfect
discipline and calm procedure of the
FIgIlantc committee and OF the mighty
work they did in ridding the counfry
OF outlaws. But the real work of the

THE LATEST CRAWFORD.
The Undesirable Govcrpess BY F. Mario
Crawford, Illustra ted. Published by tn
Macmillan Company New York.

The Undesirable Governess BY F. Marion
Crawford, Illustrat ted. Published by the
Macmillan Company. New York.
This is the latest book by the great
author of so many stories of Italy and
Of Italian people. II is the last OF
three stories that Mr. Crawford left
incomplete at his death. Instead OF
having Italy for its locale, the scene
is shifted TO study and portrayal Of
English life and of English people; and
there runs through it "A vein of humor
and. If we may so designate it, of so.
ciety frlvolty, that seems quite alien
to Crawford s usual work. This humor
takes account both of persons and of
situations. and is brought out in a
very captivating manner to the reader
The idea is that lady. Of society in
London desires TO secure az a governess
woman of high mental ability but of
such plainness of face and unattrac.
tive personality as to keep away from
her the attentions and affections of any
men of the family The inevitable
happens, however, and all OF the pre-
cautions are vain. The general plot.
fortunately, allows of much opportunity
for amusing and adroit play. and all of
this is taken advantage of in excellent
style. The novel is one that is fully
up TO the Crawford standard, showing
his great ability as story teller from
the first TO the last. II is worthy of
him at his best.

man named Shanks, who is extremely
unpopular in the ncighborhood, but his
story is not fully known. Hardy, how.
ever, knows enough of it to form a
deep loathiug for Shanks, and TO de
spise him immeasurably, and as to The
Incompatible One, Hardy makes it hard
for Daniel, trying 10 head him Off but
Daniel persists. Old man Shanks is by
no means an agreeable man to approach,
and Daniel comes to understand that
there is something like a deadly crime
connected with Shanks which makes him
an outlaw among men, but 10 the girl.
Shanks, her grandfather, is the dearest
one on earth Daniel prospers fairly
in mis- wooing but Shanks is always in
the way and always obnoxious. Shanks
seems to be crazy part of the time but
has lucid intervals. and having one of
these he renders Daniel service by
nominating him for Congress in the con
ventiou, and Daniel is trlumphantlv
elected. Further along the story Of
Shanks appears, and it appears that he
was personal friend of President Lin
coin, and had undertaken the detestable
service in which he gained his evil re-
pute among men: to fortify his position
he engaged as a leader of the Copper
heads in his section, while acting as a
spy for the Union cause among the
Rebels; and in the end Col Hardy lifts
his hat to him as the greatest hero of
them all. 1t is deeply dramatic story
told with intense power ana with a
skill that reserves the best for the last
while keeping the reader in suspense

triumphant success in this, which is, we
understand his first novel.
