A Soldier's Lora Story: A Romance of Hong-

erinced in no small degres her possession of those literary abilition necessary to success in this line of Botional pursuit. Our readers sil remember the oever story from her pen that appeared in these columns last Christmas Day. 4 Seldier's Love Story is as pretty a little romance as cue could desire to while away aa idie heur. Replete with local colour, it will appeat especially to Hongkong people, even to those whose hearts might not beat responsive to the tale of the loves of May Jardine and
and the characters are delineated with cara and discernment. There are two stories in thei -book. The second is called Self Sucrifice. It is cast in rather a tragic mould and has a fue plot, which the authoress says in a foot-note is founded on fact. The main gors of the tale is an Indian military officer, whose life-story is unfolded in the pages. Mrs. Johnson's style as a writer is Enseful and attractive, and we hope to see more of her work.
