human cunning and trickery, the ami

Rhine and Calk, seeking to trap a fu-
gitive on the snow barrens, find themselves
menaced by their dogs.
Trapped Yes, but that was not all.
They had been stalked as well. Seven
dogs of the pack had followed the men
silently. At first the dogs had hid them
selves. The lurking pursuit was signif-
cant of ravenous interest in Rhine and
Calk. Two of the nine had disappeared;
they might have been seized and eaten
by the seven in the midst of the gale.
. The dogs were no longer in servi-
tude. They had been given no work;
they had been denied food; they had
no longer anything in common with the
men. Theirs was the behavior of wolves
rather than of dogs"

The Rough and Tumble.

Even the boats seem human in
these stories, possessing temperament
and individuality. Note the description
of Skipper Steve's own craft, the Rough
and Tumble:
"She had more than she could carry
She was obstinate; she was tricky; she
was old; she sailed deep and she made
sad labor of it-sullen tempered in the
pitch and slap Of the big seas, blinded
by rain and all the while smothered in
water and spindrifts. When she went
over on her beam ends in long squall
of the wind which pounced on her un-
aware, when she hung, irresolute, with
a white swirl rising to her matches;
and while she lay in the froth as though
sullen and outraged and half minded to
make an end of her labor there and
then in a fit Of temper-then it was
manifestly time to humor her DISPOSE
ton"
The descriptions of the storms and the
snow and the deserts of ice are admira-
BILE and realistic.
Harbor Tales Dozen North shows
another side Of life in Labrador and
Newfoundland, the courtships, the we'd
dings, the romance of love. Norman
Duncan never married, but he under
stood the hearts of women pretty well,
and while his most impressive women
are not in these stories, the women here
are lfelike and appealing. We see
humor and temper and feminine trickery
in the lighter stories of wooing, while
there is heartbreak in the sadder tales.
