D hnslfi "Adventures of an Outlaw: Ralph Rashleigh (Jonathan Cape and Harâ€" rison Smith, New York) is the litâ€" erary discovery of the yearâ€"a forâ€" tunate discovery which provides a record of a period that has always been obscure. There are likely people living today who remember when any petty theft was punishâ€" able by death in England (1861). While this law was not strictly enâ€" forced at that time, it was only a few years previous to that slight offences meant transportation for life to the colonies: Rashleigh was convicted of housebreaking and was transported to New South Wales for life; what a record of savage brutaâ€" lity, cruelty, debauchery, starvaâ€" tion and suffering. The implaceable system of punishment at that time served no good ends; it seemed to be only a competition as to who stand the most torture. The diary of Rashleigh recently came to light and there is absolutely no doubt as to its authenticity. Apart from its hisâ€" torical signifigance and interest, it reads better than any fiction of roâ€" mantic adventure. "Italian Fairy Tales" by Capuana (E. P. Dutton Co., New York) will find an enthusiastic welcome with English speaking children, and will be a worthy companion to Anderâ€" son, Grimm and Andrew Lang. The translater lost none of the piquant flavor of these charming fables, and children will find a delightful pageant of kings, queens, princes, princesses, witches, etc., with their gorgeous robes and romantic love affairs. The book is beautifully gotâ€" ten up, with very attractive decoraâ€" tions and illustrations.

Mrs. Cole has the rare abiâ€" lity of depicting what she saw with vivid realism, and the story of her four years in these islands with her husband, Dr. Cole, is one of the finest travel and discovery stories of recent years. Mrs. Cole inherited a true understanding of the primiâ€" tive mind, and was at. all times able to gain the confidenec of the savages, even the cannibals, where others â€"might have sermiously offenâ€" ded. and possibly been the main course at a cannibalistic banquet. She describes the quaint ways of the wild tribes, the pygmies, tree dwellers, cannibals, and headhunâ€" ters. Weddings and funerals are atâ€" tended , and their strange obserâ€" vances faithfully recorded; there are hunts, fights, dances, music, magic, every day life, etc., etc. "Savage Gentlemen" is a book of many fine qualities, and will be a faithful record of a savage. tribe that is fast disappearing before the onslaughts of civilization.

"Stopford is expected at six o‘clock, and it will be for him to deâ€" clde whether or not a postmortem will ‘be necessary." ‘Charles whistled softly. "But 1 eay, P.," he commented, "that would mean an inquest, wouldn‘t it ?" ‘Thin ice, but perhkaps it was just as well to prepare the way for the announcement that might have to be made later. Meanwhile Bernard raa over the company again with a quick glance from his heary, slightâ€" ly grizzled eysbrows. And Manette? She had taken her little son, Paul, on her lap, and her face was hidden from him by the child‘s head. More than once, Berâ€" nard had felt a slight passing jealâ€" iousy of his stepson, and he suffered another pang now. ‘Her thought seemed to be all for the child. She had no confidence, at this moment, to give to her husband. Between her and himself, at least, some sign of relief at this solution of their diffiâ€" culties might have been quietly exâ€" changed. And the child, so it seemed to Bernard, had at this moment such ‘an air of proprietorship; his arm {round his mother‘s neck, his cheek 'againat her forehead, as if whatever Iemouon she might be might be so“ cretly displaying to himâ€"and it fcould hardly ibe one of grietâ€"he ‘attributed . in his infantile way to Esome quality or action of his own. _ "Can you give the death certifiâ€" cate, P."" he asked. [ Safe man, Percival, but the ice was uncommonly thin, and Charles was looking up at him with that inquirâ€" ing, rather mischievous glance of his. Bernard frowned. He was annoyed with himself for what he recognized. even in suffering it, as the pettiness of such a jealousy. With an effort he brought back his attention to the conversation that was in progress between Caroline and Percival. "But is it possible that he could have died like that, unless he‘d had & shock of some kind?" his sister was demanding. "Quite possible," Percival returned in his most professional manner. "It ,my, as you know, quite conceivâ€" ably have been due to the extraorâ€" ’dlnarlly sudden change in the weathâ€" She was sitting dback in her clulr,' }her hands loosely clasping the arms, her legs crossed, and her expression, ‘as far as he could read it was one of whimsical resignation. Charles sitâ€" ting next to her had his arms folded, his chin on his chest. He looked as if he were hugging his satisfaction, Bernard thought, in order to lupl press any overt expression of relief. For the others: Caroline was truly grieved, there could be no queatlon' of that, whether because she had had a true affection for her father, or’ because she regretted the loss of| position, the disturbance of a aettled‘ way of life, this change might bring to her, Rossiter was being pro‘oa-' sionally shocked as one would exâ€" pect him to be. A . ‘ him in that pose before. It had a characteristic air of slight abstracâ€" tion, as if he were engaged in some mental calculation. In the present connection, it might mean anything of nothing. Bernard‘s regard shifted to Mary and passed on to his sisterâ€"inâ€"law. and I, that he must have died beâ€" tween two o‘clock and five minutes past three. As to how," he paused, his gaze resting casually upon mo‘ Twyford ... "well so far as we know ». . at present . . . he may have died in his sleep from heart failure. The unfortunate part of the affeir is that no one was with him at the time. Nurse Ripley had gone for a walk in the park and he was quite alone. He was dead when Percival found him a few minutes after three o‘clock." Young Twyford appeared to be completely unconscious of the obserâ€" vation to which he was being sub jected. He was sitting forward on his chair; looking down at the carpet. Bernard remembered to have seen [ Caroline had got to her feet. "That father is doad, Bernard?" she said. "But when? How !" Bernard held up his hand as if to ask for silence, though indeed, he had all their attention now. "As to By J. D. Beresford | A confession! With his thoughts so fully occupied at that moment |with a single subject, the word had had a peculiarly sinister sound. He ’resolutely emiled that aside, howâ€" ever, as he crossed the hall and came up with Percival, who had left the drawingâ€"room in front of him. jNo, no, whatever her confession might be, and she had certainly looked strangely perturbed, it could !Mve nothing to do with the cause of his father‘s death. Bernard, still on his feet, made a deliberate pause as he checked the amokingâ€"room clock, finding that it agreed within a minute with the one in the iWrary. Then he turned, and ‘bending elightly forward from the waist and watching the chauffeur atâ€" tentively he said: ‘ For the second time in ten minâ€" utes, Bernard had a sense of having been frustrated in his intention <of staging his announcement. In court, he could prepare his effects with the certainty of being able to control them. s f "Leave this to me," he whispered to Percival as they crossed the room. Percival nodded, and sat with a sigh in one of the big armchairs by the fireplace. They were in the library when Perâ€" cival said: "It‘s a most unpleasant business this; and ‘I feel very much inclined to keep it to ourselves do }yon kuow, Bernard. There‘s no fear, now, of Stopfords suspecting any thing. I can settle with him to give the death certificate without the Teast difficulty." "Yes, yes," Bernard replied rather teatily. "But you‘re a doctor and I‘m a lawyer, which makes all the differâ€" ence. You medical men are a trifle too ready to give your certificates on occasion without considering all that may be involved; and then we lawyers have to deal with the matter afterward." He had checked the library clock against his own watch as he was speaking, and they now went togethâ€" er to the smokingâ€"room where they had arranged to meet Jordan. They were surprised to find him already there waiting for them. "You‘ve been pretty quick, Jorâ€" dan," Bernard commented sharply. ‘"Yes, sir, I was in the kitchen when you sent for me," Jordan reâ€" plied. â€" "You agree with me that we ought !to see Jordan?" he said to his broâ€" ther. "Good! We‘ll send Peters for him, while he‘s coming we‘ll just check thése two clocks in the library and the smokingâ€"room. After that we have to make up our minds, before Stopford comes, what we‘re going to say to him. We‘ve none too much time if he gets here at six." She nodded her agreement with a touch of impatience. "Very well," she said, adding, with something of the desperation of one who wishes to commit herselft irrevocably. "I have a confession to make, Bernard, and I want to get it over as soon as possible." _ "Not before, 1 suppose?" she asked. _ "After Stopford has beenâ€"*" he ‘replhd the tone of his voice implying a question. ‘"Worry, darling. I‘m afraid that‘s hardly possible. FIl explain why, later." R ‘‘There‘s something I must tell you," she said in a low voice, as he paused in the doorway. "When do you think you could come up to our at his brother; "there are one or two things I‘d like to talk over with you before Stopford comes." As he spoke he crossed the room and ‘Manétte at once got up and followed him. l But there was still no inference to be drawn; no.sign of the loast un |casiness that he could detect at this threat of a possible inquest.

The servabts, too, were suspects in that they might stand to profit by the old man‘s death. Lord Ebbisham tells that "It is said that Mussolini was present at some function with the King of Italy, and some time along the king dropt his handkerchief. Mussolini stooped quickly and returned it, for which the king exprest his thanks profusely, almost pointedly. "Some one later asked him why he was so glad to get his handkerâ€" chief back. ‘I was delighted. You see, it is the only thing left that I am allowed to put my nose into."â€" Christian Advocate. "I don‘t understand you, sir." Jorâ€" dan‘s eyes met those of his questionâ€" er with a steady defiance. That was a response Bernard knew well, and it was not one that he associated with a straightforward, honest witness. ‘Meaning to say, sir, that 1 know Miss Ripley was out of the way when it happened?" Jordan replied, his air of defiance still more marked: (To be continued) _ "I suppose you know why I have eent for you, Jordan?" _ "No, sir," Jordan replied promptly. "You have heard that my father died suddenly, very suddenly, this afternoon?" "Yes, sir." ‘"‘When did you hear that?" ‘"Not ten minutes ago, sir. When I came up to the kitchen for some brass polish." There was no word of polite regret, Bernard noticed, and the fellow had a slightly defiant air, as if he anticiâ€" pated a reprimand and was prepared to confront it. : "And do you realize," ‘Bernard conâ€" tinued, "that you are very nearly concerned in the inquiry that may have to ‘be made as to how my father died ?" ° "Oh!
