The Sunset Trail, By Aiken HENRY LEWIS.

and Toronto:;

Hodder & Stoughton..

Out in the Wild West, where life is, by way of paradox, at once individund and com- munal and death invariably sudden, there" still lingers a trace of the bad old days; and adventures may still be experienced by the adventurous. But it is of the bad old days, we take it, that Mr. Lewis gives this picture of wild life, with a vividness of colouring and a vérvonesa and sparkle of style which tickle the palate of the jaded critic and send him back in memory to the talus so prevalent in childhood's days. Each of the sixteen Its contents, it must be confessed, ara, chapters is an episode in which is certain somewhat gruesome.

Daughter of Debate. By Mrs. MÍRODE Harpiza, London: T. Werner Laurie. There are some good points about this story and a most delightful American girl," but, on the whole, we must confess that we have found it a trifle wearisome. The sZDE is set in Rasoan, the capital of the island of Dominic-in the West Indies-und the principal characters are the Governor aud planter his wife, his son and niece, and. named Mauleverer on the one side and a negro doctor, Hampton by name, on the other, with some more characters, including An Unknoirn Non of Napoleon.
