When Mr. Crawford died, be left behind him the manuscripts of two novels. Stradells is one of them. It is a story of Venice and Roms in the seventeenth century, and is concerned with the romantic love story of Stradella, the great Italian musician and singer. Rather thin in incident, it is told with all the beauty of diction of which Mr. Crawford was mister, and holds the interest and charms through the clearness of its characterisation Mich of the material was gathered by the author from ancient archives, but, needless to say, he has transformed these characters into a vivid and dramatic picture of the times. One's sympathies are with with the heroine who elopes from her uncle's house with the singer and passes through exciting epidodes enough before she finds a safe haven in Romе. The minor characters are no less interesting, and we come to love t

and allows it to become his ruling passion From what we know of sators and ship's officers, James Tenison appears to us to possess a unique personality. He is almost inhuman in his immaculateness. Without experience of women, he allows himself to become the husband of a South American heiress of unperabundant passion and virility, and thenceforward his life becomes a constant misery, for Elens will not allow him out of her sight. She sails as passenger on his ship, and only when Nature asserts her dominion doas she allow herself to be left behind for a time.
