The long looked for and long de- |
laycd volume Of probably the most
important extended study OF American
history now in the making has finally
appeared. and proves no diSappOint-
ment to Its numerous readers. 1t is
in fact in many respects superior to
It's two predecessors, Covering the
periods OF the Eevolut!on. the Con-
federation. and the adoption of the
Constitution. II is not only :n import
ant volume in the general series. but
Is also an unusually valuable though
rather brief treatise On h special
subjects concerned.
The volume begins with q discus
sion Of the state of feeling in the
colonies at the close of the French
and indian War, followed by an anaiy-
sis Of the new colonial policy OF the
mother country. In his treatment OF
the latter, the author shows little gym
pathy with or understanding of the
English point Of view and pays little
or no attention 10 the larger aspects
Of the English policy Of colonial ad-
ministratioR and control. The story
OF the reception of the Stamp Act is
admirably and briefly told and the
attitude OF the-coloniStS and the Eng
isl, discussed with entire fairness. the
important matter of the conflicting
views on the question Of representa-
Gon receiving lull attention.. Ihc sue
cessite steps leading to the outbreak
of insurrection in the colonies. the
revolutionary organization. and the
final declaration Of Independence are
then traced somewhat briefly but on

The Foriorn Hope.

For a minute or so after her father had left her, Grace Robertson busied herself in laying away her hat and furs and in putting a stray feminine touch here and there to various details of the rooms disarranged appoint ments.
 But another woman could have seen how very mechanical all Grace's movements were. At every step in the hall outside the suite, she paused and seemed to brace herself as for some ordeal. When at last the electric bug ger announced a caller, she moved with perfect 'calmness to the door, as though to admit a stranger. But at sight of the figure on the threshold Of the opened door. her hard-won com posture changed to a frigid stiffness. For the visitor was not Standish
 It was Wanda Kelly.
 May I come in, Mrs Robertson?' asked the girl ncryously, glaneing be hind her as she spoke.
 A cold inclination of the head gave the desired permission. Wanda en- tered, looked about; then waited while Grace closed the door.
