? A ? hnrlot of Flre."
By KHzabeih Stuart Phelps. Harper
ind Brothers. of New York.
The nclghborly spirit in Ellzabeth
?Uuart Phelps's littlo book, "A Chariot
3f Flre," makes it partlcularly appro
uriate for the holiday season. Tho
iook Is publlshed ln attractlve form
wlth two Ulustrations and a cover
stamped in gold by Harper and Broth
;rs.
It may be said that "A Chariot of
Flre" is"unusually free from the false
Dr stralned sentiment that is often
round in storles intended to teach a
lesson ot peace and good-wlll. There is
real manhood, real womanhood, in the
a-e?much of the rough kindliness of
man to man, and the tenderness of
woman for woman when genuine fcl
ow feeling and not pity is calied for.
rhe "chariot of re" is an automobile
Its owner ls roused late at nlght by a
ioor man who begs plteously for con
ireyance to a village seventeen miles
llstant. where hls little boy, who has
jcen hurt in an accldent, is perhaps
lying. Ile has missed the last train
md has been refused at all tho llvery
Jtables. The rich man responds to
he plea of his poorer neighbor, and
.he automobilo is calied into service.
l.ater, when the machine Is rocklng
md plunging through the dark, the
jwner lnquires: "How did you happen
)n my place to-nlght? There nre a
rood many nearer the statlon; you had
juito a walk." The other man replles:
T seo a little palr o' reins and bells
n the grasa alongside?such as little
-loys play horse wlth." The tale ls
fuil of just such human touclies.
The automobile arrlvcs in time. and
:he little fellow Is savod by a sklllec
uirgeon fetched by tho rich man lu
lis chariot of ilre. Then It turnt; out
that the same machine that brought
:he help ls the one whlch caused tlie
joy's Injury?ln tho hands of a care
ess chuuffeur. wlthout tho owner's
knowledge. The rich man carrles the
tnowledge with hlm as a gullty socret.
?Ie is shamed nt reeelvlng so much
jratitudo under false pretenses. At
ast hls wife goes to explaln matters
:o the other man's wife. "Lord! my
lear." says the mother of the injured
:>oy, "we've known lt all the while."
Pbeal helpfulness wlthout a trace of
condeseension: frank forglveness of

Dr. C. W". P. Brock's supposed

ioem headed "New Market," and "The
ild Whlte," are other gems In the col
sottoh of Dr. Ross, which also includes
memorlal trlhute to his friend, Robert

The foreword lndlcates tho author's
rlah for a place In the remombrance
f all hls frlends through the pootry
litii which many of them are asso

he mlnd of the reader a fragrance
rom the vanlshed years it plcturesque
y revlves and llnks wlth the present,
o which Dr. Ross lias, in the end, re
tored "Tho Blble."
Dr. Ross was a graduate of the Vlr
inla Military Institute In the class if
853, and an M. 1>. of the University
f Virginla ln 1861. He was medlc.il
irector of thc Third Corps in tho Army

lenoral A. P. Hlll's staff. He is now
onsultlng and dlstrict surgeon for tln
outhern and Chesapeake Rallways,
nd professor omeritus In the Unlvcr
Ity Collego of Medicine.
Beyond and above his formal pro
