Mrs. Harris has done a thing worth
doing In a most felcitoss manner In
deed, It is the manner that gives the
subject matter it's full value. She might
have written n fictional socio-e economic
study of a little, stagnant post-bellum
Southern town. She might have ventured
into dissertation on progressive de-
generation through Il down-at-heels en-
vironment, much intensified by idleness-
all this has been done moro than once
but she has chosen to present to us her
little company Of characters just as they
are with their foibles and virtues, their
narrow interests. their joys and sorrows.
their peculiarities, their strivings and
imaginings, touching tenderly on the
pathos, and leavening the whole with
humor. Thus do the players in her
comedy reveal their fundamental human
nature to us below the parts they play.
A prodigal, who had left the town under
dark cloud, still remembered and
spoken of with awe, returns from the
West to shake up this unprogressive,
poyerty-st stricken community. He is no
longer Of the South, but of the West OF
the cattle ranches and frontier towns,
silent, self-reliant energetic, a puzzle to
his fellow townsmen. Most amazing Of
all. he dares to do things without taking
them into his confidence beforehand.
ONLY in his love making does his self
reliance forsake him. The Recording
Angel herself is an interesting figure,
whose romance is created before her

don: Smith, Elder " Go.
Agnes and EgertOn Castle are YER
satile writer's. and in some Of their more
recent books they have successfully
handled themes in sharp contrast to
those with which they first won wide
repute. But for every novelist there Is
some field of effort, some road Of ad-
venture, which more than any other ~
alive with just the right inspiring at
mOsphere, and these authors constitute
no exception TO the rule. The one sphere
in which they are prominently ut home
is that of eighteenth century comedy,
and never do they re-enter II without
winning new triumph. The movement
Of old Georgian mirth and gallantry is in
their blood. BY some instructive process
they can carry it into the printed page.
This they have done once more in the
present volume, which takes its title
from q well remembered line In the Epi-
logue TO The Rivals" 1t Is a book IN
the sparkling vein of that play Most OF

they reappear in situations altogether
new and play their parts with all the
freshness, all the elan, essential to
drama, which is nothing II not gay.
Stories like the ten In this collection are
meant first and last, to amuse. There
is character in them. Kitty kilcroney
and her lord have an authentic vitality.
and the portraits OF their friends are
drawn with sufficient feeling for indi-
vidualty But II Is the plot that counts,
the whimsical, sometimes absurd, but
sometimes tender and always spirited,
plot. Intrigue runs riot Something
unexpected Is forever occurring. You
wonder and you smile. From beginning
to end you are kept In good humor. We
need not summarize or in any way re-
veal the developments Of any OF the ten
narratives. Who breaks a butterfly
upon n wheel? 1t is enough to state
that the book is full Of action and Is per-
sistently blithe, conceived I'm vivacity
and written from beginning to end with
a light touch. 1t is one OF the spright-
Hest volumes Egerton Castle and his
wife have written.

the fact that Washington knew what

cherry tree story is patent to the indus

WHERE THE BIRDS GO.
From The London Globe.

From The London Glope.
Some interesting particulars relating
to the wandering of birds are given by
Mr.. II. r. Witherby, editor OF British
Birds" in explaining dn letter TO the
"Times'D a misapprehension that a red
shank shot in County Mayo had es-
capped from confinement In London be-
cause 1t bore a Silver" ring engraved
with his name and address
The truth IL, writes MIR. Witherby, that
a large number Of my correspondents all
over this country are putting aluminium
rings upon various species OF wild birds.
usually when they are In the nest.
Every ring bears the same name and
address and distinctive number. and
the details regarding the placing OF each
ring are most carefully scheduled. Dur
Ing the last three years we have thus
"ringed" some twenty thousand birds,
and have already by this means obtained
q large number OF interesting facts re-
garding the migrations OF individual
birds.
Two lInnets for instance, have just
been reported to me from the southwest
of France, and the numbers OF the rings
show that these were put on the birds
when they were in the nest this spring,
one In Warwickshire and one In Berk-
shire A short time ago l heard OF two
meadow pipits which had been ringed
in Yorkshire also being found In South
west France We have also received do
tails of swallows ana martins and other
birds from France, and gulls and terms
from Spain and Portugal.
The uncertainty Of the movements Of
some birds may be illustrated by the
case of three lapwing Tor green plover).
two Of which, being ringed near Glas-
gov in the spring, were found. one In
Bases Pyrenees, and the other near
Kilkenny, Ireland, In the ensuing win
ter, while another, ringed in Yorkshire
in the spring was found in the same
county in mid-winter.
