blue jewels about her hips and waist. Humanely taking pity on the ostrich after a time. she dismisses 1t and her self dances. strolls about and throws kisses at such of her audience as ap- pear particularly interested.
 The dancers entrance upon the story is surely hectic enough to please the most iaded of tastes. But Mr Chambers has exigencies of plot to meet, and so thereafter he loses nc opportunity to convince the reader that his dancer is as chaste as Diana herself. as noble and virtuous and fiae as any Godiva that ever mantled her self in her hair.

 But the readers interest is held not alone by the strange events in the herSs life, but also by the charming love story that threads through the book fromN beginning to end. It is woven with deftest skill. full of happy surprises for the lovers themselves, and for the reader as well, Two very in teresting women take important parts in the plot.
 It is wonderful story-how the hero goes forth into the wilderness, poor in purse. broken in health, yet indomitable in his resolve to win health and the power to accomplish things. And he I does accomplish things, big things, ane | yet all within the range of possibility | He becomes great, not only in achieve- | ment but in the development of hi: 1 soul
