fact probably not known to half the
people who love ''Curfew Must NOT
Ring Tonight" 1t is one of the exac-
tions and penalties of literary fame
that often a masterpiece seems, like
Topsy, to have Just growed,'' and to
live its life apart from the literary
reputation of its author. Mrs. Thorpe
has written much excellent verse, and
is very widely known as poet of both
charm and power. Always her work Is
sincere, elevated in feeling, human,
and quick with sympathy.
The most characteristic feature of
her poetry is its Wilderness of sympathy
and interest-its universal appeal This
quality Is proved by the fact that many
of her poems have been translated into
foreign languages and preserve their
value and beauty even in their trans
pscnted state. The Queens Gift"-that
exquisitely tender narrative of rural
life in the age of Queen Anne-has
been translated into French and Ital-
ian, as have many of her narrative
poems.
Handsomely bound in full morocco,
this complete edition of Mrs. Thorpe's
poems is in every respect worthy of
her life work and suggestive of the
permanent value of that work.

.THE ICE LENS"

A Four Act Play on College Morals.
Causes and consequences) BY George
Frederick Gundelfinger. The Shakes
peare Press, New York
College life, like any other. has its
darker and it's brighter side. The darker
side has been exposed in condemnatory
pamphlets filled with dry statistics; the
brighter side has been the theme of many
an entertaining book or play In each
case, the other side has been under-esti-
mated-it seems writer's must either bark
at the bad or smile on the good; they
rarely take an intermediate stand.
The present play has not been written
for the purpose of condemnation, but
rather to agtate a reform by throwing
light upon an unfortunate state of affairs
of which many persons, who should be
concerned, are ignorant. The author en-
phasizes clearly that the possibility of
a reform will require assistance from
three sources--the parent the student

GUINEA GOLD"


BY Beatrice Grimshaw Moffat Yard &
Co., New York.
The reader picking up ''Guinea Gold,
one of the new books of the year, will
find another of Beatrice Grimshaw's
powerful stories of love and adventure
in New Guinea. Miss Grimshaw writes
with vivid pen and we'll she may,
for it's all first hand knowledge with
her. She has herself climbed the noun
tain trails, has braved the perils of the
African wilds.
Her characters are alive and we adj
mire the pluck of Scott, the new
chum.' We sympathize with him in the
conflict between love and honor. The
masterful figure of Mrs. Carter and
her tenderness to pretty Chairman ap-
peals to us and the dreadful but he
roic death of Rupert Dence thrills us.
Above all, we find that human ma
ture is the same the world over and
that in the pages of his vigorous story.

wild places and wild life, there runs

PRECIOUS WATERS.

by A. M. Chisolm. Illustrated in Colors
BY Clarence Rowe Doubleday, Page &
Co., New York.
The very title. Precious Waters of A.
M. Chisom's delightful story suggests
loveliness and tenderness, and the reader
is not disappointed in the outcome of the
story.
1t is tale of the foot hill country of
the western dry belt where the ranchers
face the all-important problem of irriga-
tion and struggle to save their streams
from the encroachments of the land de-
partment of the railroad.
The action is spirited and relieved by
a lively vein of humor. One of the most
interesting characters in the book is a
fine, breezy bachelor girl who takes a
hand In things in so decided a way that
the plot is full of unexpected develop
nlents and exciting incidents. The story
has good, clear outdoor air about it
which leaves the reader with a refreshing
sense of western life. 1t is a better tale
than "The Boss of Wind Riyer''-and that
is saying a good deal.

"A DREAM OF BLUE ROSES"
BY Mrs Hubert Barclay. George H.
Doran Co. New York.
Mrs, Hubert Barclay in her charming
novel, "A Dream of Blue Roses" gives
us a glimpse of old world people who.
While they live in the present, seem to
belong to centuries ago. Among such
people Babette grows up first in the gray
town of France, then in the sheltered
English village.
The atmosphere of shy quaintness has
bewitched her; she is unconscious of her
youth pulsing WARM within her She is
like the sleeping princess; life, with its
passion and opportunities steals by her
unnoticed. Then her prince comes and
she wakens.
This book with its faded quiet and its
intimate glimpses of timid lives, is of
surprising charm and kindness. 1t is
an orchestra, playing with muted strings,
which swells gradually into glorious en-
thusiasm and rapture. 1t is a story which,
having read, one must love.

CHAPTER xxxIv.


The little Norman isle, home OF
Pierre Laroche, SO wild and bleak
looking many months Of the year, re-
sembles a Towering garden in the
spring; then, its lap full of buds and
blossoms, smiling, redolent, it lifts
itself from the broad bosom Of the
deep. And all the light embellish-
ments Of the golden time it sets forth
daintily; fringing the black cliffs with
clusters OF sea campion, white and
frothy as the spray, trailing green ivy
from precipitous heights to the verge
of the wooing waters, whose waves
seem to creep up timorously, peep into
the many caves, bright with sea-anem-
ones, and retreat quickly, as awed by
a sudden glimpse Of fairyland.
Near the entrance Of one Of these
magical chambers, abloom with
strange, scentless flowers, sat, GER
tain afternoon in April, a man and a
woman, who, looking out over the blue
sea, conversed in desultory fashion.
From what your father tells me.
Mistress Nanette," the man, an aged
priest, was speaking, "the Seigneur
Desaurac should be here today?"
"My father had letter from him a
few days ago to that effect" answered
the young woman somewhat shortly.
LET me see," apparently the old
man did not notice the change in his
companions manner, "he has been
away now about a year? 1t was in
July he brought the Governors daugh-
ter to the island one day and sailed
the next" Nanette made a move
ment. "How time flies!" he sighed.
''Let us hope it assuages grief, as they
say! You think she is contented
here?"
"The Lady Elise? Why not? Al
least, she seems so; has with her
her old nurse, my aunt, who fortu
nately escaped from the Mount"
But the death of her father? II
must have been terrible blow-ont
not easy to forget!"
"Of course" said Nanette slowly
"she has felt his loss"
The old man gazed down. II have
sometimes wondered what she knows
about the causes of the enmity tina
existed between his Excellency ant
I the Black Seigneur?"
The others eyes lifted keenly
"When last did you see her, Father?'
"She comes often to my cottage Il

'Talk?"

expressed a twinge Of uneasiness.
"About the past?".

quite a respectable number of high
Grass specialists who are asking S25 for
illteen eggs, and they seem to be hav-
ing ABOUT all the business they can do.
AS prices have been advanced by the
leaders the little fellows follow suit in
less eXtravagant way OF course,
the prices for breeding stock and ex
nloltion specimens have kept pace with
the prices for eggs, or vice versa It
IS out reasonable to expect that eggs
bought at 81 each are from breeders
valuable enough in good points to be
able TO produce dollar eggs. 1t is to
be assumed that one getting a fair
hatch from these eggs will get at least
few chickens as good as the stock
producing them. In that event, we
presume that the purchaser will be
getting his moneys worth, provided he
is able to handle such valuable stock
and make his money back from them.
But can he? That is the question.
Fancy Prices Not Profitable.
Does the average breeder or fancier
who pays these great big fancy prices
for eggs succeed in making it pay him
In dollars and cents as time goes by?
We say not. Perhaps It is the fault Of
