Longmans. Green and Company. The
hero, whose career We follow from birth
till he is freed OF his incubus, is a fine
young fellow who develops great ath-
letic powers as he grows up. HIS mother
just before he was born stepped on a
cobra in India. an incident that is de-
scribed with great vividness; in CON
sequence he is in mortal terror of
snakes which have an unpleasant trick
Of turning up at critical moments in his
life and bringing disgrace upon him.
Save for that he is uncommony brave
and resourceful. He meets early a de-
lightful little girl. who grows up with
him ill she is a charming young woman.
They cannot marry till he overcomes
his fear. as the author allows him to do.

and excited. The author seems to have
met with unpleasant military officers;
he has strong objections to red tape in
The army and to the treatment OF pri-
vate soldiers in the service and by the
public, objections which he expresses al
some length. He has a decided gift for
story telling, which he would, improve
II he could forget MIR. Kipling's man
nerlsms.
Tales recounting the incredible ad-
ventures of a night are not uncommon.
