The self-seeking and the dishonest
spoke to her in the voices OF Shade
Buckieath and Gideon Hines. The
patronage of the woman philanthropy
list, working with purpose in the
persons of Miss Sessions, recoiled from
the serene Inconsistencies of john

Its sting The tragedies underlying
suffering lives around her won an in
slant and unceasing sympathy and
help. Her own burdens were gallant
~ faced and unfalteringly carried.
Into the performance of her duty
Johnny Consadine carried concen-
tration OF purpose and a loyalty Of
soul that illuminated commonplace
ness with interest. What wonder that
much of wonderful happiness peopl!ng
her land Of dreams became hers. as
the reward of her diligence and her
faithfulness? What wonder that her
royal power OF loving won royal
response. and that the hero of the
heights was glad TO beg her to come
up and stand by his side in his strug-

Johnnys romance ends as all such
romances should end that have such
a beginning and such continuity.
The book orins over with beauty OF
thought translated into beauty Of ac-
ton without in any way losing Its
hold upon realism, kept alive by the
authors wonderful knowledge of the
quaint superstitions, phraseology and
characteristics OF the mountain folk,
wherever they may be and however
they are situated. There is very
sweet and real vein of humor pervad-
Ing much OF the story. The climax
reached in the rescue OF Gray Stoddart
from the hands of his kidnappers by
Johnny Consadine is dramatic to in
tensity. The book is a refreshing con-
trast to many other novels Of the
year, and is calculated to immensely
increase the popularity and add to
the fame already enjoyed by Grace

The story If Francis, the poet saint

enduring beauty.
In this book it is retold for the chill
dren, for whom the simplicity ana
sweetness of Saint Francis and his
life are specially suited.
AT the same time it is told with a
century Italy. Before writing the
book, Miss Jewett visited Assist and
other places associated with Sairt

of the subject Many photographs
which she took there illustrate her
vivid descriptions of life in the beau

To quote from it: Almost the first

story of the lad who liked to sing gay
songs OF love md war. Almost the
last we know Of him is the more beau
tiful story OF the song, which he made
and sang only little while before
he died" 1t is With one Of his finest
songs the volume ends. And these are
the two last stanzas of that song.

The turpentine camps in the pine

the centre around which the interest
OF a romance gathers. that has for Its
heroine a descendant of the Highland
ers, in the person of golden-haired
aud blue-eyed Ruth Mackenzie.
The description Of Ruth's ancestral
home, Kissic Dale. is very attractive.
Many of the old Scotch songs are in

otto illusions are made to the brave
men who, when bonnie Prince Char
lie" went into exile. came across the
Atlantic to find new homes for them
selves in the Carolina colony.
But they remembered what they had
left behind in Scotland, and because
of their love for their native land,
they kept alive its traditions and its
their adoption.
So, "A Daughter of the Highlanders"
