encouragement that are part of every
normal life the rainbow is waiting to

Mr.. Wegefarth has a pretty knack
of effective expression which is appeal

also has the gift of tunefMlness, so that
many of the verses literally sing them

Canada in Fiction

A Canadian novel which seems to

it is sheer romance of fascinating and
absorbing kind. In bare essentials it
tells Of the love of a girl for a man and
its expression in terms of sacrifice and
service till it wins golden reward for
both. Doctor papl is noted physician
with most promising career, which is
menaced with ruin through heritage of

NOVEL OF THE DESERT
The Forbidden Trail Newest
Book of Honore WiLlSie

Honore Willsie loves the desert as
some of us love the sea. And through
the medium of "The Forbidden Trail, :"
the newest of her books, as in her other
novels of the west, the charm she feels
is impaired to her readers. Even in
its savage moods, Mrs. whistles desert
has appeal.
"Thc Forbidden Trail" once taken
up, is not laid aside until the last chap
ter is finished. 1t is that sort of book.
The story it tells moves swiftly against
its desert background, with an inter
mingling of romance and tragedy and
adventure. And here and there sparkles
humor.
Roger Moore. youthful inventor,
who battles against tremendous handi =
caps, not the least of which is a killing
temper that sweeps on with the sud :
denness of desert sandstorm, is the
hero of the tale. And the heroine is
Charlotte Preble, who goes. into the
desert in the hope of rcclaiming her
drunken brother.
The invention with which Moore is
working is solar heat device, and the
story centers mainly about his indom
table fight to make this success, dc =
spite manifold discouragements and q
plot by which Germany seeks to make
Moorc's invention her own triumph.
"rhe Forbidden Trail" is told with
that deftness and graphic tech which
characterize all of Mrs, Willsics work.
One of the best done bits of the book,
certainly the most dramatic, is that
which concerns the disappearance and
the finding of little Felicia.

HENRY WATTERSON'S
"REMINISCENCES
TrVo Volumes of Chdtty and
Informal Essays About
Men and EuentS

Few books of "reminiscences contain
more interesting matter than Henry
Watterson has nut into the two vol
umes of his autobiography. He is eighty
years old, and for seventy years or more
he has been in touch with dis
tingnished men. He was in the
Capitol when John Quincy Adams
died in 1SdS. and Adams during
his life used to nut his arm around
the shoulder of the bov Watterson and
chat'with him in a grandfatherly man
ner. When he was twenty one years
old Watterson stood beside Lincoln when
he delivered his first inaugural address:
He knew Sumner and Cameron and
Greeley and Tilden. He was an intimate
friend of Jay Gould and Joseph Putt
zer and James Gordon Bennett He met
Leopold II. of Belgium. at Monte Carlo,
and Edward VII of England in Lon
don. He was acquainted with Henry
Adams and General Grant. When he
was twelve wears old he PLAYED in
concert in Washington with Patti. and
in later wears amused himself playing
duets with Theodore Thomas. He was
the friend of Cleveland as long as that
man would accept his friendship. and
he had similar experience with Wood
row Wilson.
He writes Of all these things most de-
Iightfully. and they are only small
part of the contents of the book. His
story of the Hayes Tilden election is
told with first hand knowledge. His
account of the Cincinnati convention in
1879, when Greeley was nominated, is
given from the point of view of par
ticipant in its deliberations. The whole
book is gossipy and chatty and familiar,
with occasional bursts of rhetoric
without which no writing by Watterson
would bear the marks of authenticity.
But in spite of all its merits the book
is Il disappointment, 1t was evidently
written from week to week as it ap-
peared originally in the Saturday
Evening Post. In no other way is it
possible to account for its repetitions
and the fragmentary character of many
gret that Mr., Watterson did not make
plan for his book before he started
it, plan that would have involved Il
thorough digestion of his material and
n classification of it according to topic.
If he had done this he would have pro-
duced book that would have COM
mended itself as literary production.
Yet it may be popular. Former Am
bassador Gerard's book about his eX-
percnces in Germany was characterized
by the same faults, yet nearly 400 1000
copies of it were sold. The public at
large is not too particular about the
literary form of a human document if
that document contains what it is in =
terested in. In spite of its faults the
book has great value for its disclosures
of facts about the inner history of the
country which do not appear in the
formal histories.
