TRAIL LIFE IN THE CANADIAN

When Mr. Mitchell says, in effect
'Oh, come on! I've been doing this
every Summer for nine years now.
It's a great adventure!' he means
lust that and lives up to this concep-
ton OF his summericSs. Not once In
the whole time does he belabor you
with learning, nor bore you with da Ia
and findings of purely scientific char
acter. He does play the role of that
Hiliest of tempters, for he does take
YOU up into exceedingly high
mountain and does show you the won
ders of the world. That's all. And
not that, either, literally, since he
does not take you up. You have in
stead no end of hard and shivery
climbing on your own account to
make these prodigious lifts toward
the' stars. You are bound to become
enthusiastic at the very outset Of this
adventure, for you will be swept
across the continent in eXhilarating
reaches of space that separate into

MAN EATER. BY Henry Milner
Rideout, author of white Tiger"
etc. Duffield G. Co


Rideout, author of white Tiger"
etc. Duffield & Co.
That's merely the name the natives
gave him for what seemed to them
the ferocities OF his behavior. These
ferocities were only courage turned
to action against these restless and
turbulent hillmen forever breaking
out against imperial regulations. As
matter Of fact, the Man Eater" is
a mild hammered young English officer
of the Indian frontier and the adven-
lures Of this romance are such as the
treacherous hillmen themselves set
for this resolute and highly-traine ed
young Englishmen to meet and cir
cumvent. On their own familiar
ground and most ingenious in in
ventions of diabolic pattern, these
natives, tribe by tribe, succeed in
making an exciting and dangerous
business of keeping them within
their own bounds. A romance-that
came near being two romances-goes
along with the business OF keeping
order in a certain district of India.
Mr.. Rideout succeeds in telling
most interesting story whose fresh
ness holds throughout its course and
whose clever climax leaves one
keenly awake to the interest of the
whole and all ready to read another
one as good.

NORA PAYS. BY Lucille Van Slyke,
author of Little Miss By-the-Day."
New York: Frederick A. Stokes
Co.
A clever little story on the biggest
theme there Is. Pay day, this theme
that inevitable day somewhere in
eVerybody'S future that nothing can
avert. Not the deepest self -delusion
on the one hand, nor the most expert
padding on the credits and discount
ing of the debts, can set aside that
ultimate pay day for any one of old
Adams brood. 1t was this way Nora
was young and gay and Irish. Stephen
was old. or older, and no husband at
all. He was a school teacher His
mother was a pest. The three little
girls were too many. too much, for
any one person to keep clean. So,
Is years a very elegant Norette, at
the head of the smartest OF smart
metropolitan shops, testified to the
gifts of the gay little Irish girl. Then
stephen died. So did his mother Soon
there came to Nora something that
sounded like an sos from these
girls, young women by this time
Right there the balancing Of Nora's
books began. Strangers to each other,
this mother and these girls. Different
In outlook and attitude, in manners
and behaviors, with not a little of
resentment on the part of the children
over the prosperity and suave ele-
gance of their runaway mother
Nothing at all original about the fact
that II was man who. finally. broke
the bank for Nora, not original. but
altogether plausible. The cleverness
of this story lies in the fact that 1t
doesn't get lost on the inside Of this
big and spreading theme. Instead.
inside OF its own limitations it moves
forward consistently and in the SIM
plest OF everyday DRAMA drama
that this author makes as amusingly
bright here as it is deeply touching
there. And with this competent and
artful devotion to the Immediate bust
ness in hand the author succeeds
one hardly knows how-in impressing
the universality of that impending
pay day.

Advantages in LittIeness

Two thousand scientists gathered in convention at South

And their proceedings extremely interesting from
pure science which many of US find rather boring.

light?
Maybe every new chance for
departure from the hackneyed
code set their blood atingle with
that hunger for adventure which
you felt in smaller way, the
time you faced that little path
that led beyond the oak.
Did you ever think of it that
way before?
There's that watery eyed. f1ab-
by fleshed, slack footed old
drunkard that has come to be the
office pest. Used to have a fine
job on the staff.
The forgivable prank OF a boy
curious, eager. reaching out for

first drink was. Nothing very
disgusting about that reckoning
young trail The pittful attempt
of tired man to drive himself
harder or escape his worry or re-
gret-you could hardly call it a
hesotted life when he entered
that Swallowed trail, which seemed
to lead to peace. Yes, the re-
suit is terrible. But can't you
look back to the begfnning--you
who entered tip-toe on so many
trails or sought them blindly to
escape some heart ache?
Or there's that bitter, hardened
woman. You've a vie name for
her. But have you forgotten the
CLEAN and glamour of those wood
land nights that loosed you from
the dragging, solid earth and led
you mazed down silvery winding
paths. with soft. delicious mad

again into her SCARED. scared
face. Can you not still see there
the faint. lost image of a moon
mazed girl that took path that
beckoned-to her doom?
Wood trails. Dim paths, that
clutch and call and lure us from
the, dreary, ordained road. If
YOU have found delight in such
a trail, can't you be friendlier
to the sad ones who followed
their dim trails until they lost
