THE STORY OF A DAY.

GREYFRIhRS BOBBY BY Eleanor AZ
kinson. l2mo. pp. 292. Harper a BIOS
Tru n is said TO be stranger than ne
tion: occasionally 1t is far more beauu-
ful and touching. We have apparently
reached the end of the vogue OF the
animal story, for the present at least
vet here is a belated tale that deserves n
pIace beside the best Of them, because II
&c true. and because its truth has In
spIred its author. The story of Grey
friars Bobby. the skye terrier who
through a decade guarded his humble
masters humble grave In an Edinburgh
cemetery, is true every word OF II. Hls
monument, erected by the Baroness Bur
dett -Coutts Is there To prove IL. Ana
she receiyed the freedom Of the city.
The manner alone I'm which Miss Atkin'
son has retold the story IL her own. II
is one of appealing sympathy, OF loving,
gentle understanding OF the ways ot
mans faithful companion and friend.
Bobby remains a dog in these pages,
from his puppyhood to his death, and
his memory gains by IT, How easy II
would have been to spoil the simple,
| touching narrative by the introduction
OF the false, pseudo human psychology
OF so many modern animal stories! The
unadorned truth, indeed. Is more beauti-
full in this case than the most ingenious
fictional embellishments could have made
it. This book promises to be as lasting
memorial of Bobby as the Edinburgh
drinking fountain with his bronze image
seated on IT'S top, still guarding the
graveyard and his masters mound. The
touches OF Scotch character and dialect,
the little vignettes Of Marlborough town
and Marlborough children, the portraits
of Bobby's friends and champions OF his
right TO loving service-all these are the
work of the authors imagination, and
they furnish worthy setting of her
four-footed example of loyalty. The
book is, indeed, not unworthy Of a place
beside BLACK Beauty"

narrative of an extraordinary exploit to

all whose antecedents are closely con-
nected with the tropical and sub tropical

presents itself at once: is 1t a difference
in physical fibre, or In brain and will power,
or is 1t the difference in the climatic condi-
tiOns themselyes?'
Henson went 10 school to his COM
mander, and, like him, took lessons from
the Esquimaus, learning not only their
language, but mastering also their skill
in driving dog teams and sledges. He
came 10 feel as thoroughly at home amid
ice and snow as the leader himself, hence
his usefulness. Never for q moment
does he take himself with undue serious
ness; on the other hand. he has a strong
sense Of humor, as when he informs us
that in the Arctic Peary took cold bath
every morning, IL there was enough

story OF Miss Bill" the Esquimau girl
who spent year in this country and
then returned to her own people:

married three times and widowed, not by
death. but by deserton. She Is known as

Next September will mark the cente-

Byrons friend, my Murray" as he was
TO the poet, transferred his business
from "The Sign Of the Ship" at NO. 81
Fleet street. opposite st. Dunstans
Church. TO Nc. 80 Albemarle street. The
great names Of English literature asso"
ciated with the house include those ot
Byron. Scott. Colerldge, George Borrow.
Livingstone and Disraeii. Among its
literary treasures there are many por-
traits the third canto Of "Childe Har"
old" written on odd scraps Of paper: the
manuscript of Scott's abbot" the diary
Of Thomas Gray, the journal OF Robert
Burns, the first printed Homer. dated
Florence, 1883, and the copies OF Shake
spcare used by Globe players in 1900.
Most interesting Of all. perhaps. Is the
silver loving cup. containing a glass
phial covered with paper, on which
Byron has written: "Hemlock gathered
by me for you under the walls OF Athens;
possibly the same from which the leaves
that poisoned Socrates were plucked.'
