Current Fiction.

One of the most thought-impel- ling novels which we have en- counted for some timo ta "The Eternal Journey," by Ethel Lina White, which is included in Messrs. Ward, Lock and Company's Colo nin Library series. The theme is that of a "continued" life, as it were. The heroine in the pro- i logue, dated 1794, has her charac-: ter and fate continued in the per- 1930 sonality of descendants in and again in 2331. Apart from the general excellence of the story there is much food for thought in the development of the theme, and few will be able to lay naide this volume after once starting it until the final page is reached. It is a book of unusual power; indeed in some respects it is worthy to be classed amongst some of the (old). | greater novels.

"Half a Clue," by J. Russell Warren, also published by Ward, Lock and Co., Is of a totally dif ferent type. This is a real thrill- ner, in which the reader's interest is held from start to finish as the acarch is made for a torn piece of paper half of which is found in the grip of a dead man and the rest of which is known to throw light on the hiding place of important documents. The story is laid in Cornwall, and all manner of excit- ing incidents occur before the mis. sing documents are discovered. There humour as well no tragedy as the story unfolds. Those who like this type of novel, which is well written, will find

"la a Clue" of absorbing Interest.
