Shortly thereafter the two went to Africa, Af-rica, and there they were Joined by tho niece and nephow of Lanarlc. The former, for-mer, a beautiful woman, had for a long t me lain siege to Lanark's hand in marriage, mar-riage, and considered it for her best Interest In-terest to assume that Regina was the wife of .Lanark. A lion hunt was proposed pro-posed and Lanark Invited his niece and nephew, together with a number of gentlemen gen-tlemen frlonds. "While in camp. Sybil Lanark, the niece, pursued her conquest or the hand of Lanark and for a while It seemed as If she would win. and so matters stood when tho partv started out one night after Hons that had hecn sighted in tho vicinity Regina had planned to accompany lanark and his friends on the hunt, but on account of the intense fear of Sybil to either go on the hunt or remain In the camp alone, she was persuaded to remain ln the camp with Sybil. The story at this point assumes a most dramatic interest. In the dead of the night a lioness enters the camp and, without noticing Regina, gocB to the couch of Sybil and bears her away. Regina follows with her rifle and succeeds in trailing the brute to its lair and rescuing her rh'al. only to bo pursued by tho beast on her way back to camp and attacked.

Her fight for life, assisted by a physician of thc parly and Lanark, who has de-enounced de-enounced Sybil as the cause of the trouble, trou-ble, Is indeed hard, and her suffering intense. The story is an excellent one throughout, through-out, although It will be wondered that the author, while expressing such contempt con-tempt for unhappy marriages and homes, would not be equally enthusiastic over the married state where there Is love and contentment, and while expressing the belief through the medium of his chief character that "wedded hate Is a great deal worse than unmarried love." the other alternative might bo given with good purpose. In one of tho concluding paragraphs the author gives expression to a very fine sentiment regarding happiness: hap-piness: "Men apread nets for her feet and preparo chains to bind her airy wing.?, and Just when, they fancy she Is securely bound to them they look around and she Is gonel And .those who. with tenr-bllnded eyes, have thought they had renounced her forever, as they have said good-by. dear Happiness, she has leapt to their heart and said she would never leave them.

This little volumo takes up the various problems that present themselves to every boy and reasons out thc solutions as tho boy would himself, not as they would be reasoned out when the boy becomes be-comes a man. "The old folks," the author au-thor contendH, "do not like to look fnto things becauso It disturbs their serenity. jney regard boys as little animals with inquiring minds." The book contains much logic, and although it is bov's logic, tho fact remains that it is logic In Its truest sense. A CLASSIC" Br. Thome. By Anthony Trollops, rubllthnd by O. BmII Sons, Ltd., London. "Dr. Thornc" Is one of the famous "Barsetshlro Novels" of Anthony Trol-Iope. Trol-Iope. It originally appeared in 185S It was preceded by "Thc "Warden" and "Barchester Towers," and was followed by "Framley Parsonage," "The Small House at Alllngton." and "Tho Last Chronicle of Barset." It was published in three volumes' in the good old English style to which Dickens and Thackeray wore accustomed. Here wo have It In one volume of 631 pages. . "Dr. Thorno" is one of tho best novels of one of the best English novelists. In those sophisticated sophis-ticated days tho novel reader will be able to see the end of tho story almost at the beginning, becauso he has become, so to speak, a connoisseur In plots. A modern mod-ern author would not like to be considered consid-ered so obvious, but doubtless ln Trol-lope's Trol-lope's time the plot was sufficiently Intricate In-tricate for all desirable purposes. Tho evident thing is that thc heroine will wed the hero, in spite of all obstacles, and yet the development of the plot loses little of its interest on that account. The story is written with a charm that reminds one of Jane Austen and of George Meredith. Thero Is something in It, too, of ".lohn Halifax. Gentleman," which belongs to the same literary period. Thc style Is less studied than that of Jane Austen and tho characters arc outlined out-lined with a clearer vision. Somewhat of tho genius of George Meredith is lacking, lack-ing, something of his line glow and intensity. in-tensity. Nevertheless, it Is a. most attractive at-tractive novel which deals none too gently gent-ly with the prejudices, foibles and follies fol-lies of the aristocracy and upper middle classes of England In the Urst half of the nineteenth century. There Is a flno satiric touch in the author's commentaries commen-taries on his aristocratic personages. Ladv Arabella, who wanted her son to marry for money. Is not n attractive chnractcr, but she has boon portrayed with a defln'lieness and reality thut niako her stand forth as vividly as any character char-acter In Dickens or Thackeray. Dr. Thornc. Mary Thorno and Squire Gres-hanbury Gres-hanbury and his son aro keen sources of Interest throughout the novel. POB ATHLETES. Athletic Trnlnlns. By Michael C. Murphy.

As a matter of fact, Nadine "Dodo's Daughter" plays but a minor part and Is a secondary character In the cast. In tho' opening passages wa find that "Nadine, with the beauty, the high spirits and power' of enjoyment that was hers by birthright, bad, so it soemed to hor mother, succeoded to a place that was very like what hor own had been rather more than twenty years bofore, Nadine is fu'ly as unconventional as her mother, and sho Is seen first entertaining enter-taining a party of mon and girls In hor bedroom.

From a man's standpoint he was detestable, while with women ho was a success. Nadlno fancied him because he had bralnn and good taste, and was hor critic, while II wns seldom tliat Hugh ever disagreed with hor on any subject.
