No time is wasted upon
preliminaries, not a minute; and as soon as _Ambrose Deane_ and _Colina
Gaviller_ have met and discovered at sight that they are just made for each
other the really exciting part of the story begins. I forget how many times
_Ambrose_ is arrested during the course of the tale, but I do know that
things keep on happening all the time, and that the rescue of the hero by
the Indian girl _Nesis_ is delightfully told. Altogether Mr. HULBERT
FOOTNER'S picture of the life of a trader in Athabasca is particularly
attractive. I like it all, including the cover.

"At Leicester Assizes Levi Durance, aged thirty-four, a discharged
soldier, was sentenced to ten months' imprisonment for bigamy."--_Pall
Mall Gazette._
A proper verdict this, that for a while
Turns LEVI DURANCE into durance vile.
