"Kumeny Of the Orchard" is the third
novel for young people with which L.
IL Montgomery bids for popular favor.
The two earlier Anne" stories are
better from a literary view point. but
this story is sure TO win all that class
of readers who think book is fine If
It makes them weep.
This book tells the sad sweet story
OF an italian girl. To begin at the be-
ginning. Kilmeny's mother was stub
born to the point Of near madness. It
Is told Of her that after she had had a
MED her some trifing request she re-
fused to speak to any one for a long
time She did not patch her trouble
with her father. and even on his death
had refused to speak. She .relented
when too late, but could not bring him
back and she wept for many days
When Kilmeny was born dumb the
whispered that the sin of
the parent was being visited upon the
child. but the mother did not live long
to suffer for her babys ahiiction. The
little Kilmeny was taken by her aunt
and uncle. honest upright Scotch peo-
PIE. who treated the child kindly, but
had neither love nor sympathy for her.
She was told, for what reason it is not
quite clear, that she was ugly and
must not let people see her or they
would not like her. Up to the time she
was is years Of age Kilmeny lived in
this environment, spending all her
time in the orchard playing the violin.
She had no lessons. but initiated the
birds and the winds, and from all ac-
counts was a genius

Beyond the Mexican Sierraso
By Dillon Wallace.

1t will be remembered that The
Long Labrador Trail' was Dillon Wal
lace's thrilling account of the i'll fated
exploring expedition conducted by
Leonidas Hubbard Jr. The author
who showed his enthusiasm through
every line of that stirring book, said
in closing: The smoke of the camp
fire is in my blood. the fragrance of
the forest is in my nostrils."
Perhaps that longing for the wild
places is what led him to the extreme
other corner of this continent, for he
went several months ago to old Mex
leo and tramped up and down that sec
ton lying beyond the Sierra-''the area
between the tableland and the Pacific
ocean, Sonora and Jalisco states"
The style Of the writing and the hot
enthusiasm of the writer is what one
particularly enjoys and conmends in
this work, for much of the subject
matter is really deserving of criticism,
but the joy in reading the book takes
away all desire to criticise
In the introduction Mr.. Wallace saws
that in all the two continents of the
western hemisphere there is no area of

in spots. but not to an alarming de-
gree. The big thing to criticise in
the author is his honesty. He had
such a good time on his long muleback
trips that he wanted to tell about 1T;
hence the enthusiastic introduction.
But when he sat himself down to
write the facts we find that, though
the country is attractive, it's climate
is enervating; that inducements are
offered for manufacturing industries,
but the government offers no protec-
ton to the foreigner so engaged; peon
labor is cheap. but the people are in
describably filthy and the land swarms
with parasites.
Mr.. Wallace's trip was literally
roughing it and one can readily see
how and why he enjoyed it as he did.
The careful reader, however, will soon
discover the excitable enthusiasm and
will not be led astray, for within few
pages each time the unbiased view is
given and disillusionment follows. The
book is splendidly illustrated from
photographs by the author and a map
enables one to follow the trip with
ease and pleasure. 1t is well printed
and bound.

Gossip of Books and Writers

This week Harper Bros. publish a new
book by Albert Bigelow Paine, called
The Ship Dwellers," which is given
serious timeIiness by the death of Mark
Twain. The Ship Dwellers- follows
the trail of the old time 'Innocents
Abroad" and 1t is a picture in decided
contrast to Mark Twain's that Mr..
Paine gives of these Mediterranean
countries as they now appear to Amer

abundantly illustrated with photo
graphs, which is another point of con-
trast to the older book. Mr.. Paine. il

by L. c. Page Co.. Boston.
The foster parents. Thomas and Janet
Gordon. had also adopted little Italian
boy when Kilmeny was a child. and the
two grew UP together. Neil was quick
tempered, but devoted to Kilmeny, and
it often seemed that he was his only

The history of the two young men
who come into the story makes the
other half of the book. They were
schoolmates and chums, and by seeming
accident are also thrown together after
leaving school. One of them takes the
place of the other as teacher in Char

While there he wanders into the or

interest develops into friendship and
then to love. but Kilmeny will not lis
