PATIENCE sPARHAWK AND HER

Publishers, New York.

BY Gertrude Atherton. The Mcmillan Co.,
Publishers, New York
Although reprint" Mrs. Atherton's
Patience SparhawiS and Her Tines
loses nothing of its charm and clever
ness to the lover of book, and 1T is a.
happy thought that her publishers have
conceived in presenting this, one of her
very best stories, to the public once more
in attractive form.
Mrs sAtherton is one of the foremost
women writers of the day and her books
never grow old, neither do the lines she
pens ever grow dun and those who have
not read Patience Sparhawk and Her
Times will enjoy it thoroughly, while
those who have probably number II among
their favorites and will be glad to well
come 1T again to the literary horizon.

"A PIRATE OF PARTS. "
BY Richard Neville The Neale Publishing
COMPANY. Publishers New York

=,
Company, Publishers, New York.
Astounding in life Aand mirth, and real
ity, this quaint record, "A Pirate of
Parts by Richard Neville. tells of the
eventual summer venture of a strolllng
player and his fellows. who formed a
company that sailed in the Gem of the
Ocean to storm the barns along the Long
Island Sound coast
Handy, the central figure of the ioy-
Gus chronicle-thc Pirate of Parts" him
self-'s an aluring individual who. in
the words of his chronicler. "laughed his
way through life apparently without care
Yet he was man of family. for his little
ones were uppermost in his breast In
turn he had been sailor. engineer, pilot
painted. manager lecturer. bartender. SOL
dier' author, clown, pantaleon, and a
brass band
A creature of such eternal variety is
bound to be interesting. and without
prejudice 1t must be said that the de-
lineation of this many-sided hummer Is
delectably vivid. Indeed. there is not n
moment when there is no plenty of en-
tertainment afforded by his ingenuity and
resourcefulness in extricating himself and
his queer company from their financial
and other-difficulties.
EVERY one who enjoys a laugh should
read this merry volume. To know Handy
is to be happy.

In lean Edgerton HoveN's John O.
Partlett's' the Distinguishing features
Of the story are its simple, straight
forward plot and its able and con-
Nincing portrayal of character, both of
which make the book worthy of wide
appreciation.
John O'Partletts' is the sort of book
that a reader will lay aside with a
sigh of regret because it is not long
er One cannot follow the unfolding
of its simple plot without feeling
within him a stirring of reawakened
good will toward men. He cannot but
admire the honest integrity OF the
splendid dog, John O'Partletts'; he can
not help feeling tender pity for the
sufferings of little jim; and above all
he must bow before the splendid exhi-
,, bition of real humane kindess, even
under unwarranted abuse. which is put
forth by witch Beevish."
1t is a book we'll calculated to ap-
peal to the highest and best in the
reader. 1t grips his heart. strengthens
his character and sends him forth with
renewed strength and belief in the
worthiness of living not only for him
self, but for others. The story is we'll
told and contains great and powerful

the British attitude toward America

the Indians undertook to escape into
Canada Sibley had the matter
placed before Lord Lyons. who de-

referred the question 20 her majesty's
