This is better than "Thorgils," part

instead of Berserk. For the rest,
Mr.. Hewlett has improved upon his
lcelandc style, eliminating some of
the defects which marrcd his former
work, and entering a little moro per
tectly into the spirit of the ancient
Morse folk. His romance is confessed
ly based upon two Sagas, and it is
marked throughout with their tersc
simplicity Of speech, but at the same
time is infused with vastly moro human
feeling than they contain. A special
interest attaches 20 it in the circum-
stances that it has to do with the Ice
landic discovery of America, a theme
upon which too much is never likely
to be written certainly not when it
is as well written as Mr.. IIcwlc,t's
enchanting tale. With his cnrapturcd
devotion to Morse legends VIC arc in

In Crimean Days
\ Romance Of the Forcrunncrs
Of the Red Cross

AN ORKNEY MAID by Amelia T.. Barr Illus
'ra'ed. Iano up. los. j.. Appleton " Go.
Mrs. Barr's latest romance. which is
also one of the best in the long cata-
lcguc of her always interesting and
worthy writings, has peculiar apt
ness to tho present time. 1t is n Scot
tlsh tale. of the Crimcan War, and it
has much TO do with that noble enter
prise which has for all time enrolled
the name of Florence Nightingale
among the saints. There are those who
will challenge the statement that then.
on October 81, 1854 the Red Cross So
ciety was born; yet we may we'll main
tain that the work of those devoted
women in the Scutari Hospital was the
cNemplar and forerunner of the organ
cation which nominally was formed at
later date. and that if there had been
no Florence Nightingale there would
have been no Durant. But what did
Mrs Grundy say? We have it to the
life in Mrs. Barr's vivacious and vera
cious pages:
In six days they were ready, and
without any flourish of trumpets, at
the dark, quiet midnight, they left
england for Scutar, and in that hour
the Red Cross society was born.
How long is it since they sailed?"
asked Rahal
"A month";" answered Ian. "but the
controversy about it is still raging in
the English papers. The
prudcry Of the English middle class
was shocked at the idea of young
women nursing in military hospitals.
They considered it highly improper
Others were sure women would be
more trouble than help
"I thought" said Ragnor. "that the
objections were chiefly relgous'
"You arc right" replied Ian. "Thc
Calvinists are afraid Miss Nghtin-
gales intention is to make the men
Catholics in their dying hour. Others
feel sure Miss Nightingale is an Uni
vcrsalist, an Unitarian or a Wes-
leyan Methodist. The fact is, Flor
ence Nightingale is a dcvout Episco-
palian."
Millions will thank God that they are
not now as those bigotcd folks were in
those days; but in so doing they may
quite forget all about the mote and the
beam. Apart from the absorbing in
tcrest of the two romances which it
contains, Mrs. Barrs book is a valu-
able reminder Of the likcncss,s as we'll
as the differences between Crimcan
days and the days of the Great War
