it now appears here, at least, for the first
time and is perfect specimen Of what
it purports to be.
The story begins bang off with muir
der, properly mysterious in its setting,
and is developed with particularly nice
sense for holding the readers interest, the
plot being intriguing from beginning to
end. Moreover in these troubled days of
political and social unrest there is tonic
quality in Mr.. Tracy's tale of perfectly
conventional "nice" English folk, except
for the villain of course, who are far re-
moved from the war and its aftermaths.
Lost on the Yorkshire mOOrs while fol
lowing the hounds, Diana Fenton comes
upon the dead body of Sir Dudley Sea
croft, who by the conventions of her world
she was expected to marry. Being no
Victorian maiden she manages to lift Sea-
croft's body up on her horse and leads
her mount up to the door of a lonely farm
house temporarily occupied by Walter
Phipps Hardy, college lecturer on leave
and occupied in experiments in steel max
ing by new process. From this intro
duction one is led through an interesting
mystery tale and a pretty love story, the
solver of the cause of Sir Dudley's muir
der being a most engaging, clever and
amusing Scotland Yard detective named
Charles Francois Furnsaux, "whO looks
like comedian, very neatly dressed, with
face carved out of ivory" and famil-
iarly called Frog" very jewel of de-
tective and bearing no family resem-
blance whatever to Sherlock Holmes, al
though his methods bark back to Poe's
immortal model
As book for relaxation and a pleas
urable stirring of the spirit of curiosity
and of romance this latest tale of Mr..
Tracy's may be cheerfully recommended
TO all lovers of detective stories.

Backs drive forward the ball clutched tight
Nerved anew the chorus rings
Over the chalk lines-"Figlt, Ames, FIGHT"
Fog and mud and a cherries dawn;
Whispers pass through the suen rain
Two minutes more, boys! Pass it OUT"
Then-a whistle thrills-ends the strain:
Rattle of stones from the parapet
As soldiers scrambled to left and right
Mounting; eyes flashing brighter yet
AT that heart stirring slogan Fight, Ames. FIGHT"
Thus they answered when honor called
Giving all to their eountrys needs;
Leaving their college stately walled
Blazing her name with splendid deeds
Heroes, late of the football field,
Doing battle for God and Right -.e
Shoulder to shoulder, never to YIELD
With their glorious war cry Fight, Ames! FIGHTw

Verse trOmNeW Books and Some New Poets
The Old Platoon
By Rifeman Patrick MacGill.


Soft the night on the bleak fields face,
And under the lonely moon
The white cross marks your resting place,
Mate of the old platoon.
Hazards many We both have shared
Enduring as men endure
with faith and fire all risks We dared,
knowing the end was sure.
"fhe cause is worthy" you often said
You said: Were out to VIM
As we looked to the great new day ahead
That ushered Freedom in.
There's weapon less on the rife rack
And gone from the parapet,
Still you guide us now on the cObbcd track,
The mate We cant forget.
To the hour ahead our way wend,
Let it come late or soon,
We know you're with us to the end,
Mate of the old platoon.

Lost shepherd of flock on the hills
Why do YOU haunt with those dream dinmed ewes? ?
Why does YOUR face out of a thousand leap,
Here where the moon i'll sickly lanplight dics7
Over your pasture slope that low moon wanes,
And safe against the hill the white sheep stray
Where feathcred shadows lie upon the grass;
But-you see not for gazing on Broadway.

But in2yOur eyes the stars are mirrored deep,
And underneath your feet you feel the dew!

Mort Pour la Patrie"
By Harold Willard Gleason


There is American cemetery the slope Of
Mount Valerian, overlooking Paris The flowers the
graves kept fresh by French mothers who have thus
adopted the American boys even in death.
Wooden crosses row row,
Giden by the rising sun,
Mark the graves where, service done,
Rest on Mount Valerian
Warriors fame may never know,
Boys from homes across the sea,
Soldiers, "MOrt pour la Parie''
Death has sent them dreamess sleep.
Mothers who have dearer dead,
Tears and flowers daily spread
On each green and flag draped bed.
Still their guard they seem to keep
Ger the land they to free,
Heroes, Mort pour la Patre."
