It will be interesting to see whether the novel-reading public will rise so far above itself as to pay nine shillings for Mr. Wells's
"Joan and Peter,' Dew story, which is published. The publiebere announos that it is three times a long as the ordin- ary novel, and we have no doubt it is three times as good. Still, the attempt to sell novela by weight has not hitherto succeed- ed. Mr. Heinemann, if we re- member right, attempted it, or something like it, a few years ago. Bo even published in two volumes
novel by Sir Hall Csine, and sleo a novel by William de Mor- gan. But the public did not like it, and Mr. Heinemann became an orthodox publisher ogsin.
Legless Hero.
Gallantry by a soldier, who lost both his legs in saving a woman's life has been rewarded by the King bestowing on him the Albert Medal. At a railway station in France, alasse the London Gasetts, a woman who was crossing the line in front of a troop train to reach a passenger train,' was caught by the boffer of the engine. Private George Bennett, 12th Lancere, rushed to help her and pulled her into the six foot way between the two trains. Unfortunately a bucket which the Woman WEB CSrrying wse strack by the troop train and knocked Basnett against the passenger - train, with the reenis that be waƐ badly injured and has exfered the amputation of both bis legs. Bat for his presence of mind and ocurage the woman would pre- bably have been killed.
