An. able a | busy novelist
Victor Rousseau has turned out
many stories and has escaped
the criticism made of so many
popular writer's. Many authors
who write a great deal find diff
fculty in avoiding sameness
of plot and Characterization.
Mr.. Rousseau has been able to
escape this. Everyone of his
tales shows a refreshing origin
atty in plot and handling.
He made his success in the
United States several years
ago and is now returning to this
country after a sojourn in the
literary circles Of England. He
knows Canada we'll and it is
not surprising that his latest
book should deal with a very
vital phase of the redeeming of
northern portions of that coun-
