Oddly linrf iinsr years to the strangely

"Right at Dick's feet like a tawny
wave ltecktd with crimson and foam
the pack oaught him, surged over and
lie went down. A bitch yelped, and
tor a moment he was flung to the
surface like red log in a churning
tide Then down again, and Dick,
springing from his pony, flung him
self headlong Into that vortex of
raging, Mapping jaws, the lash of his
little hunting crop falling Incessantly
litiht and left."
Hoys of his ate are usually for the
dug! :n a matter of this kind; the
little savages love to see the cruel
xemse of power and are likely to
cheer it on rather then try to hinder
It, But not so with Dick. "As soon
as he was alone he laid his head on
bis pony's neck and sobbed uncon-
trollal'ly. He was only 9 years old,
it had been a long and tiring dny. and
tad ended so differently from all hla
bopeg and expectations." Mis sym

ardently had he hoped that the hunted
creature would escape.

In the business, In "The Fhotodrama.
Ita Place Among the Fine Arte" (The
Buskin Press. New Orleans). The
author has full command of the con

thle address two short essays on other
subjects.
Interesting anecdotes and recollec
tions of the noted Bishop of Connecti
cut are contained In "Some Remi

Charles E Jackson (Stewart Printing
Company, Mlddletown, Conn.). Append
ed are eome let tore to friends written
by the Bishop from Europe. Two ex

A humorous and ingenious essay to
show how a crime story ehould be
constructed Is made by William Tim
othy Call In "Blackmail" (W. T. Call,
Brooklyn). It Involves some Intimate
topography of the outlying parts of
Brooklyn.
The argument employed by William
Parker In demonstrating "The Funda
mental Rrror of Wtomsn Suffrage"
(Fleming H. Bevell Company) can
only be compared to those advanced
by some Southern clergymen before
the war against the abolition of
slavery. Whatever views may be held
on the advisability of granting the
suffrage lo women, nobody Is likely to
be convinced by statements that are
not backed by proof or by dragging
questions of morality Into an Issue of
disputed facts.

dotes about Abraham Lincoln, many
of them bused on hearsay, has been

There Is no harm In the little book,
but the output of sentimental litera
ture about Lincoln has lwen so greit
of late that there may lie a reaction
against his goodness, like that against
the George Washington of the Weems
fiction.
