By Edgar Lee Masters. MacMillan | Co., Toronto, Publishers, Price, $8.50, | Any reader who has ever Jéen a 'real boy will take delight in this story of an "honest-to-gosh' boy. Mitch is the real thing and the boy lihgo in the story is as real ag he is. "Skeeter," steadfast pal of Mitch, tells the story and tells it well. ! Thé Book is another case of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn, but at the same time possesses many distinct attractions apart from its likeness to Mark Twain's immortal work, Tom Sawyer, indeed, comes into the 'story and is written to and visited by the two youngsters. He turns out to be a goodnatured butcher in a jnelghboring town. ; The setting of the story 1s in the region sacred to Abraham Lincoln's memory and memorable as the home of Tom Sawyer's escapades. Mas- ters has combined Lincoln and Tom Sawyer and mixed in Misch Miller in a manner which makes the book an irresistible piece of work amount- ing to genius. i! Perhaps all the experiences of Mitch do not happen to the ordinary boy, but a great many of them do and besides that Mitch was a very ex- traordinary boy. His answers to the | preacher at the revival meeting |showed that, His father was a min- |ister, but the revivalist was not ac- 'quainted with that fact until it was is a tale in itself. Although, whole, the narrative is rather dis- Jointed, it is. true to what it is sup- posed to be, the memories of a man time, 8 Lawrence Carrington' Hart, or "Larry," tells his own story in fits pages. The story is supposed to be one of these times and certainly is true to its aim. The Writer is not afraid to make it true in every de- tail, and the book is therefore the more interesting . Our little hypo- critical conventions are swept. aside here -and there in rather an abrupt manner, but the reader with common sense will realize that they were very thin, and would not stand scrutiny. "Larry" takes a family from their childhood, follows them through lite until they have reached their final stage in the world, and with keen in- sight sketches the various emotions which lead them on. He and his sister, their cousins Edward and Dorothy, and his friend Steve Mc- Crea start in together as small chi}- dren and grow up together at Seven Pines, the large, old-fashioned home of their father in the country. In bewildering rapidity, as fit would seem to the average person "Larry's" young father and younger step- mother came together and started another family, Later Steve McCrea married his sister Lucy and there were more to tell about, until after starting out with a few persons "Larry" ended up his story with a small crowd on his hands. "Larry," in telling of his own ex- periences, does not try to hide the Taw spots, nor does he shove his own good qualities to the back. Me is frank, and at times brutally so. He tells just what he feels, and, al- though it }ooks rather queer in print at some spots, yet the most of us can sympathize with him. His impres- sions as a boy, his colt -ge life, his re- lations to his family and relatives, the period in which he was deeid- ing on a career, the enthusiasin with which he started into newspaper work, his apparent early failure and who has seen a lot of life in a short | a lof mY | lous value as well, but neither Car- | 48 a) "roughed" it with Indians and cow- | boys whose name is familiar to ev- ery movie patron.

Hence this book, 80_replete with Indian stories and with incidents of frontier life, pos- Sesses an exceptional charm for ey- ery boy. It is a boy's story of the west that shows the west as it real- ly is. It is a tale of the adventures on a Montana cattle-ranch of a white boy and his Indian chum, of how Whitey learns to ride, shoot man- fashion, of their capture by a band of cattle-rustiers, and of how they escaped and turned the tables by rounding up the band after a series of desperate and exciting adventures. "Injun and Whitey" is a real book for real boys written by a man who knows the west and knows what boys like. It's got all the thrill and human interest that have made the William 8S, Hart pictures favorites throughout the world, and will be read, treasured and read again, not only by every boy, but by Bill Hart fans of every age. It isa boy's book; and every boy will be'the better for having read it. Not only will it in- terest him, but it will teach him the duty and the advantage of playing the manly part in every circumstance of life. Manliness and inspiration are held up as ideals well worth striving for. This new uook fis the first volume of Mr. Hart's Boys' Golden West series, a collection of frue-to-life stories of the west.
