ORDON‘S Satisfy o n era raoaas Lord Braybrooke‘s unabridged 1854 edition, (J. M. Dent & Sona, Toronâ€" ‘to). Dent‘s have lately started a new library of Double Volumes, which at the remarkable price of i1$1.25 is a marvel of book values. Hitherto obtainable in two volumes only, here is a handy, compact ediâ€" tion of this unique diary. First pub lished in 1825, the world quickly recognized its value and interest, and in the past century it has been published in many editions, always at a higher price. Not only is this ‘femous work desirable for its wit ‘and dry humor, but for the picture ADVERTISING In The CHRONICLEB it gives of people and conditions of the time, politically and socially. Other famous books will be added from time to time in this excellent library. ‘"Maco Waters", by Grace Thomp son Seton (K. P. Dutton Co...New York). Mre. Seton is the wife of the famous naturalist, Ernest Thompson Beton, and is herself a great explorâ€" er. In this volume she tells the story Of a seventeen thousand mile trip on the "Lookâ€"See", from New York to South America. Many of the regions visited have never been attempted by a white woman before, but Mrs. Seton is a born explorer, aum,: every minute of the manry t f and dangerous adventures she exâ€" periences. She also has the knack Oof presenting a particularly vivid ‘c-‘ count of her travels, and the result is a thoroughly enjoyable story of life in the densest jungle. She tells of the queer customs of the natives, describes the marvelious scenery, and best of all relates how the many epecimens of anmale were bagged for the museums.

"Is Marah going away?" She was alarmâ€" ed, as the very old always are at the"pmopo_ct of any change. "How kind of Cousin Cora to ask for one of us!" exclaimed Ella, finâ€" ally, and the rest of the family, supâ€" pressing what vague surprise and uneasiness _ remained _ in _ their breasts, immediately, and with graâ€" titude, adopted her point of view. _ _None of the family seemed to know exactly what comment the letâ€" ter called for. To Marah it came as an answer to her secret, unuttered demand for change, more pleasure, more excitement, an outiet of some kind, an escape from her environâ€" ment. She looked around her at the faded furnishings of the room in which she sat. All that was old, exâ€" pensive once, and good in its way, was now shabby and worn; the little that was new way cheap and tawdry. The whole house suggested dignity dhich maintained | itself â€" without hope, conscious of its futile pretenâ€" tions. Poverty, having nothing but the crude wreckage of old grandeur to keep itself afloat with, could only make helpless, distant signale to art and beauty. "I suppose it is a really serious offer," observed the doctor, as if, in his mind, the fact might be quesâ€" tioned. "Oh, undoubtedly serious," replied Laura. "As Laura and Anne have already their lives marked out for them, as it were, I suppose the choice will lie between Ella and Marah. Ella, if 1 remember, is studying music with a view to teaching. She would perhaps be able to give me less of her time than I might wish." "In short, all things point to you, Marah," said Anne, dryly, when the letter was finished. Core Thompson." "There is a postscript," said the doctor, and continued: "Besides the plersnre it will give me to have a companion in my many lonely hours, I shall be glad to know I am doing something for one of my poor, dear, lost cousin‘s chiidren.

It was impressed upon Anne that it was suitable that Marah should be the one to go out into the unâ€" known. In some indefinable way she, among them all, was the one fitted for change, for adventure for emoâ€" tion. Anne, who loved her sister, thought, nevertheless, of her own dull, fixed, and monotonous exisâ€" tence, upheld by the resignation which stoically represented itself as Anne looked at her sister with afâ€" fection, yet critically as it she were about to aum up the impressions of years in one definite valuation. Marah lay in a faded yellow hamâ€" mock, the green parrakeet under her chin. She wore a little, plain, linen skirt. The wind blew a soft, feathery cloud of black hair about her foreâ€" head, her long, narrow eyes were half closed. She seemed in a reverie, half melancholy, half contented. The hammock ewayed gently with her light weight. low whistle and the parrakeet flew to her at once. A shadow fell on her face.

The bird looked at her with his inâ€" ecrutable, beadâ€"like eyes, his head on one side. Then he gave a short, un expected whoop, expressive, presumâ€" ably, â€" of satisfaction, Marah and Anne laughed. "Dear me," said Anne, "what will you do without Indra in New York!" "I thought perhaps I might take him," Marah observed doubtfully. "Yes, you might." Anne also spoke with hesitation. Anne did as she was bidden, she end her sister as prettily intent as two harem women on their game with the bird. At the sight of the hideous danger which threatened his lamb Indra‘s alarm apparently inâ€" creaséd, but he did not hesitate an instant. Love conquered all selfish thought of his own safety. A flash of green wings, a sudden swoop, and the anake was lying on the floor. "It‘s cruel to frighten him s0," said Marah; then, inconsistently, ‘"‘put the snake on his lamb and see what he will do."‘ She produced a JifiiE;;--â€"l;l‘v'en- tion made of paper, grey, writhing, slippery terrifyingly natural. The little parrakeet ralsed his head from his labour of love. Seeing the paper snake he gave a scream Oof horror and right and flew to Marah‘s â€" shoulder, fluttering his wings in a paroxysm of fear. "I believe, you know," said Marah, "that Indra would conquer his terror of the snake if he thought any danâ€" ger threatened his lamb." "Let us try," replied Anne. The snake is here in my workâ€"basket." The parrakeet flew to the woolly toy and eettled on its back, with strange little clucking nolses, indiâ€" cative of pleasure and love.
