Uglew & Co. citys "Gillespie" is' a remarkable novel, and will, undoubtedly be ranked as one of the greatest hooks of the season. The fact that it is the author's first book makes it more. notable still. It is given to fow writers to win success and fame with their first effort. The book has some slight faults, which are to be expected in a new author. The style is sometimes foo leisurely, there 1$ occasionally unnecessary, repetition, and the gruesomeness and horror are al times too exaggerated. The char- acters, however, are intensely real, and the descriptions unusually faith- ful. The author's creative. power is andeniable, He 'makes one see the little town of the wild sea shore, as if he were gazing at it from the heather- dotted hills close "by. The scene 'of the story is laid in a small Scottish hishing, village, where Gillespie Strang was born, Upon. his parents' house lay an ancient cprse the knowledge of which was carefully hid from Gillespie, but fate ordained that through him would the doom be wrought. Gillespie is the chief char- acter in the book. ne is greedy, unscrupulous, hard, but for a time successfully hiding his real character behind a Smiling face and a hearty, joyous manner, He comes to dom- inate the village, but all the while getting a tighter, grip upon its people. Power.and prosperity are his, and he uses them for his own selfish pur- poses. When the fishermen seek vengeance, it recoils upon them and Gillespie escapes uninjured. The girl he married for her "pickle sillar" has her soul bothered to death. But vengeance awaits its proper time, in the person of Galbraith's widow--the achievements. of one of the empire's} TARZAN OF THE APES. A weird, impossible, is "here unfolded.

The fact that Mrs, Barr has re- cently passed her eightieth year has not deterred her from writing another very fine book, dealing vividly with a man's struggle ah hig. gonscience; a battle between faith and doubt. It i3 a story of religions justification, lait Macrea, a stern Calvinist preach- er, has built up an enormous congre- gation through his strong religious convictions. He becomes interested, however, in a number of new books on free thought and modern philoso- phy, and gradually his religious faith becomes undermined. His estrange- ment from his amily, his withdrawal from his_sacred duties, his effort to find the God he Bas lost, make up 2 vigorous, timely novel, which in many particulars bears a. resemblance to ChureMill's recent Success, "The In- side of the Chap."
