? Fine Books
For Children

On the list of children's books
can be found two good sugges-
lions in the titles, 'The Last Of
the Gauchos" and "Waif."
"The Last Of the Gauchos,"
written by Thames Williamson,
is for the school boy beginning
to read. It is the story Of the
Argentine cowboy. a race that
is fast disappearing. With it are
going some of most adventure
some and romantic tales of men,
cattle, horses and dogs. A fit
ting story of outdoor life for the
city boys who must dream of
wide open plains. laundering
herds and belching rifles and
and six guns.
In "Waif," by Eleanor You
mans and Will RannellS, is I'M
folded the story Of "Spe," a
sort Of a Spitz puppy. Printed
in type large enough for the
younger children to spell out and
enjoy, it carries a tale with it
that will enchant all dog lovers.
It is the story of a dog that
went to a university.
With a true feeling for pets
the authors have given this dog
and her animal companions as
much of a mind for thought as
the humans and the delightful
result makes it a must for the
house that has a dog as well
as children.

Silver String"
Ann Mcbride is the heroine
Of Mrs. Jarrett's newest per-
sonally conducted tour into the
cruelty Of the worlds pettiness.
An Ann who slowly and de-
liciously reveals herself an eager
and ttnid victim Of a penny
pinching fraud Of q father: a
heartless feminine cousin; q
Sadistic first husband and q
misunderstanding second one.
It is a strange thing about
Mrs. Jarrett's stories, almost as
strange a thing as the stories
themselves that her victims
never seem so sanity and put
upon that they lose reality.
AL Of Mrs. Jarrett's stories
have a background Of cruelty.
Etched upon this dirty, nagging
grey cloak covering many and
many a scene Of human rela-
tionShip are the bold white
strokes of an honest soul. It is
perhaps due to the marvellous
touch Of the authoress that the
cruelty in her books is well re-
membered long after the name
Of her knights and ladies in
waiting have fought the pure
fight and died from the minds
Of readers.
'The Silver String" a fanciful
name for memory, opens with
Ann on the verge of leaving her
second husband. The thought
Of what this wrench will mean
to him, to the one who is caus-
ing it, and to herself brings her
a dream Of her stepmother,
Serena.
"The Silver String" begins
its vibrations and as Ann gropes
forward bravely, the tone Of the
string" widens to include her
father, Isabella, Mortimer and,
last but not least, Corey, the
husband she was leaving. A
highly fascinating romance.

Gloomy Tale
Ends Happily

Most serious novels wind up
in somber fashion. Hence
Sun Across the Sky" which
deals with various people and
their separate troubles, furnishes
a pleasant contrast with its
optimistic conclusion.
Readers, in general. will en-
dure q lot Of anguish, but 1t
must lead up to something. It
can't Just go on and on. Or
If it does, its author has to be a
master craftsman. The suthor,
who is both masterful and opti-
mistic, is pretty apt to write a
highly readable book. That. in
short, is what Eleanor Dark
has done in "Sun Across the
Sky"
Her hero, a young doctor. is
in a pretty sorry mess. His wife
Is a psnicky creature, i'll from
a sort Of self-invoked nervous
paralysis. The woman he loves
is beyond his reach. His friend
is dying Of a failing neart ana
a malignant tumor. His friends
daughter is in love with a vii
lage lad who has just had his
leg mangled by a shark. The
doctors worries are increased
by the attitude Of the despotic
Sir Frederick Gormley who
converted an ancient fishing
settlement into q fashionable
summer resort and refused to
consider his task complete I'M
till he burned the last Of the
fishermen out Of their flats.
Sir Frederick is so intent on
progress" that he turns the
colony into a blazing holocaust.
The doctor, seeking to rescue
his friends poems from the
smoking ruins, is badly injured.
Not too badly, however, to
bring the authors philosophic
reaSonings to their conclusion.
Nor to hope for another day.
Life" decides the doctor, "is
a great adversary, knocking
you about. cutting you, tempting
you on everlastingly with the
promise Of another sunrise"
And the reader has the feeling
that whatever his burden, the
doctor still feels the contest is
worth the candle. At any rate,
his story IS very engrossing.

war hazards to world shipping and
fears of international political disrup-
tions were several factors credited
with raising the price Of silver today

metal reached 451a cents an ounce,
the highest since January 7, when
the same figure was set and the first
change in price since January IA.
when silver was sold at 44aa cents, the
low for the year.
The London market has experienced
a sharp rise in the past several DAYS
on heavy demand from India follow
ing the posting Of higher war risk
insurance premiums. which caused
Indian spectators to believe conflict
might be imminent.
In some London metal quarters,
however, it was said the insurance in
crease was induced by the growing
menace to shipping in the Mediter-
ranean from floating mines, rather
than to fears of war. A French
steamer recently was damaged by
mine and other floating mines have
been sighted
The New York price is based on the
world level and moved higher accord
ingly, dealers here said
In 1886 the high was 4934 cents an
ounce and the low 4434 cents.
