 gave him bread and butter but left no leisure nor strength for the creative work that he loved. set out on walking trip, leaving behind his charming but irritating fiancee, and the, responsibilities of his profess sional life. At the crossroads of Kings Forest he found a little vel low house, a room full of sunshine. dogs, children and-the one woman. Under the stimulus of her beautiful idealism he found that he could write.
 Forgetful of his fiancee. his mother and his job, Bruce lived in a romantic haze, glorying in his impulse to ac- complish great things and to fling be-
 hind him all the ties of the past that would hamper his magnificent love. But the woman was clear-eyed. It was she who made the decision that duty is greater than love. and worked
 out a happy solution to their tangled
 lives.

To I Spurlock the girl was talesman to save him from himself. In mo- ment of weakness he married her without love. The interplay of these two appealing characters working out the strange purposes of life on an island plantation in the China sea. Is story of rare charm and powcr.

 This book is unlike any other that has been called forth by the age lcng Irish problem.

But through 1t all the reader will discover quaint bits of philosophy, playfulness, raillery. hu- nor, whimsicality and good nature.
