A STORY OF EGYPT.

Tho Ora CONAN A Novel Fly George
*. stiles Published by Harper &:
Brothers. New York
This is tale Of ihe upper Nile re-
gions chiefly. but dealing also with
tho gay festivities, iutrigucs, and Sc
rious troubles III the court of tho
khedivc and in native societies. The
romance is primarily a love story, but
there is also very much information
about Egypt. Egyptian ways, and the
habits of Thought of The common poo
pie. There is heroine. 80 bc sure,
and oddly enough she Is an American
girl, who unaccountably appears TO
have drifted into that region. The
hero is an EucisbmaD, materially enough
there in the line Of bis duty. The up
per Nile furnishes the sccuarium, for
most Of tho story, where strange things
happen and few whito men ever ven.
ture, and yet fewer white women.
There arc here tho shadow OF the East
with it's mystery, the inner workings of
the coutesting tribesmcu, the inter
national diplomacy which reaches over
the head Of all Of them. the mighty
power OF Nobamm cdauism which has
to be Teckoucd with even by The rul-
ing civil power with all its mighty
armament at its back. All these ele-
ments made the story one Of unusual
entertaining quality. That the author
has done bis work right well, Inc story
is tho best proof.
