The splendid quality of Mr. Allen's work Is re- vealed by this quotation from his closing passage: "Study the warbler while you may: how long will inhabit the Kentucky forest no one can tell. 'As civilization advances upon the forest the wild species retreat; when the forest falls the wild species are gone. Every human generation dur- ing these centuries has a last look at many things in nature. . No one will ever see them again Nature can never find what she has once lost; if it is gone,.it is gone forever. What Wilson records he saw of bird life in Kentucky a hundred years ago reads to us now as fables of the marvellous, of the incredible. Were he the sole witness some of us might think him to be a lying witness. Let me tell you that [ in my boyhood- haf a century later than Wilson's visit to Kentucky---hehel things that you will hardly believe. The vast oak forest of Kentucky was what attracted the carrier pigeon. In the autumn, when acorns were ripe but not yet fallen, the pigeons filled thé trees at times and places, eating them from the cups.. Walking quietly some sunny afternoon through the bluegrass pastures you might approach an oak and see no- thing but the tree itself, thick boughs with the afternoon sunlight Sparkling on the leaves along one side. As ypu drew nearer, all af once, as if some violent explosion had taken place within the tree, a blue smoke-like cloud burst cut all around the tree top--the simultan- eous explosive flight af the frizhten- ed pigeons. Or all night long there might be wind and rain : the swishing of boughs, and the fapffing of loosened trees against the win- dow panes; and when you stepped out of doors next morning it had suddenly bécome clear and cold. Walking out into the open and 1aok- ing up into thé clear sky you might see this; an arch of pigeons breast by breast, wing tip to! wing tip, high up in the air as the wild geese fly. slowly moving southward.

P. TRAIL, By Zané Grey. 460 pages. Pr $1.50. The Musson Book Co, ronto, publishers. Zane Grey , is the acknowladged master of far western romance, as evidenced by such readable books as "Wildfire," "The Light of Western Stars," "Riders of the Purple Sage," "The Rainbow Trail," etc. In his new book: he has painted a vivid picture of the building of the first iron trail---the Union Pacific Rail- road---across the continent. Ha has Shown the greatness of the idea. tha faith, the trained imagination. which To- labor, the fights, the wantonnaess, the spilling at night of gold earned by days of sweat, the bravery, the eor- ruption; the self-sacrifice The building of this first trans- continental ratlway is the gigantic enterprise which shapes the destin- ies of the men and women of the story. The hero is one of the en- his own \life he experiences the thrills, the hopes, the disappoint- ments, the final triumph of the road, from its first survey to the final silver spike. He rescues a young girl, the only survivor of a waggon iratn massacred by the Sioux, and the girl later is stolen from the re- fuge he found for her with an old trapper Through turmoil of gambling towns, Indidn encamp- ments, and construction camps their paths cross, part and meet again in stirring intricacy. The picture which the author paints of life in the old-time railway town is a vivid one. He leaves nothing to the im- agination, but with a master hand; paints in all the colors. Fights with Indians, buffalo hunts, railway epis- odes, descriptions of the wild countryside of Utah and Wyoming find a place side by side with tales of love and jealousy, of courage in common places and of grim determi- nation to purspe'a worthy ideal to the dccomplished end. | outbreak of the great war, her de- leaped over all obstacles, the apic of! gineers of this undertaking, and in THEA ail SONIA--BETWEEN TWO WORLDS By Stephen McKenna. 404 pages. | Price, $1.50. McClelland, Good- chilll & Stéwart, Toronto, publish- ers. . The two worlds of this moving story are the England before the war--the England of too much folly, with night clubs as one of its crud- est manifestations--and the Eng- land of the future; and the link be- tween the two Is the astonishing ad- venturer and patriot whom the author has created in O'Rane. Great | indeéd is the contrast between the lazy, luxurious England of before the war and the courageous and self- sacrificing England of the present day. David O'Rane and Sonia Dainton and. their friends, Jim Lor- ing and George Oakleigh, are the principal characters in this well- written book. Jim. is no less a than. the Marquess of 'soldiers who passed that way. some lof whom sleep in the graves to .bloody, shell-torn ground over which personage Loring, and the whole atmosphere of the book is decidedly aristocratic O'Rane, Itish adventurer..and born democrat that he is, is the Hlegiti-! mate son of the Irish peer, Lord | O'Rane, who was exiled from Ire- | land for his Fenian activities and died fighting for Greece in the Turk- ish war. Following the death of his father, David came to England by way of Japan and the United States, in which countries he picked up much | valuable informatio di many new ideas. At an early e he entered an English public school, whére he | was thrashed regularly every tén days for a whole wear becai he wouldn't play foothall came here to be educated," he said, "not to kick a ball areund." Through his undoubted talents he finally won a commanding position in the scheol, and. afterwards at Oxford. In the feverish years before the war, life | for him appeared to he an ecndless and heartless chase for money and | pleasure. He decided on a tour of the continent, but energye and recklessness nearly cost him his life | in Austria * The next four years of his were spent in speculation in oil Europe and Mexico, but not to his financial advantage. Sonia at six- teen had been engaged to David, but during his absence had develcped in- to a proud and haughty beauty and had contracted and broken several aristoeratic alliances." - Then came the motor trip' across Europe, the life in tention in Austria, and the clever and daring bit of masqueradiag by which 0O'Rane got her out. The wonderful transformation of Britain in the early days of the war is splendidly depicted by Mr. McKenna. In a few crowded chapters he shows what the war has meant to England, | and what it did to" thd--lives-of O'- Rane, Sonia and the others The author's ambitious attempt to draw a parallel between the England be- fore and after the war--a diffieylt | task, be it said, for the most experi- enced and well-informed writer---- has met with a large measure of sue- | cess. He has clearly depicted the difference "between two worlds." and has produced a thoughtful, well- written book that no one should miss. THE OLD ¥RONT LINE. By John Mansfield. 99 pages. Price, $1.00. The Macmillan Company of Canada, Toronto, publishers. What Mr. Mansfield did for the Gallipoli campaign, he now does for the campaign in France. His sub- ject is the old front line as it was when the battle of the Somme -be- gan. His account is vivid and grip- ping--a huge conflict as seen through the eyes of a great poet. Of the importance of this battle Mr. Mansfield writes: "The old front line was the base from which the battle proceeded. It was the starting place. The thing began there. It was the biggest battle in which our people were ever engaged, and so far it has led to big- ger results than any battle of this war since the battle of the Marne. It caused a great falling back of the enemy armies. It freed a great tract of France, seventy miles long, by! from ten to twenty-five miles broad. | it first gave the enemy the know- | ledge that he was beaten." | "*The Old Front Line" is profusely !

It is a wierd and terrifying picture which he draws of the rajn of shells on the German lines on that' first day of July, when our men waited in the trenches for the signalling whistle to begin the advance. They climbed over the broken parapets in "tumult, darkness and the presence of death, and, having done all pleas- ant things, advanced across No Man's Land." | The Man on Watch | Rule las present been sus- Somewhere The Golden pended for the in France.

Lemmon&Son 187 Princess Street. : The General Hospital governors ' are going to.restock their main kit- | chen with up-to-date cooking uten- sils, whichis an admission that the institution has been cooking with ancient ones. The Lampman notices that the governors are buying a tea and a coffee urn for the nwfses, who may now look forward te something real tasty in the line of hot drinks. Down in Quebec they blame out- siders for the "fireworks" during the 'past week that 'disgraced the French province. Why do that? If a; man asked another to murder a person it is not necessary that he do it. If he does he pays the penalty, which Quebec must now pay for its riotous acts. The Lampman agrees with Prof. Macgillivray that we cannot blot out ° the German language from our edu- cational system, but it is not so much' for the sake of keeping pace in art and literature that he would have it studied. Rather let us study the Hun dialect in order to see that | or the accursed' Germans do not try | and put something over on us. So | long as the Germans study the Eng- lish language we must study theirs. According-to tag day collectors, it is not the grand ladies who give most to the' patriotic collections. Work- ing women actually give more, and the private soldier likewise contri- butes a larger bit of silver than the majority of the officers. The Utilities Commission is right in the spot-light, and free and open criticism will do no great harm even if the Commission gets a severe peiting. After the "drive" made against it, Gen. G. Y.
