When man of the high literary caliber
of Charles G. D. Roberts writes a story

by everybody, and when he takes the
pains in working out plot to enter the
list of all the rest of the worlds greatest

much excellence.
For this reason The Stuff of Heroes. a"
the leading story in our next issue, which
is Mr.. Roberts prize story, is an eXcep-
tionally good one. Furthermore it is not
an animal tale, as most of his stories
are. but deals with the big things ele
mental human nature, as shown in the
change of heart that came to Russian
revolutionist of the extremely murderous
type whereby he became an earnest min
lister to the dire needs of humble COM
munity on the Labrador coast.
In working out this big idea the hero
of the story is thrown into remarkable
relations with a number of the same
revolutionary body who had been sent to
find and kill him for his dereliction in
duty, which well displays the author S
ingenuity and skill in handling plots of
