REVIEW OF REVIEWS. 



Police for the Yukon territory, 

 this story, though not purely his- 

 torical, is so nearly .so as to be 

 accurate in many of its details. 

 Moreover, the writer has noi 

 tated to expose the maddening 

 system of graft which went on 

 under the eyes of the Canadian 

 Commissioner. Four English- 



speaking men find themselves to- 

 gether in Skagway in March. 

 1898. One of them has joined the 

 rush for gold in order to marry 

 the girl he loves, and if one of 

 the men is the hero, John Berwick 

 must be counted as such. Their 

 terrible adventures, occasional 

 fun, and odd abiding places, are 

 vividly told. When they get to 

 Dawson City they go to' work in 

 a thoroughly scientific manner in 

 order to stake a claim, and the 

 reader actually experiences some 

 of the anger which possessed the 

 four when they found that the 

 Poo-Bali who ruled the city had 

 hv underhand means registered 

 their claim as his during the time 

 they had been waiting in his 

 office, the result being that Ber- 

 wick becomes the leader of the 

 revolutionary malcontents. How 

 his sweetheart comes to him in- 

 stead of his having to go to her 

 is a fitting finish to the tale. 



The Temptation <>f Tavernahe. By 

 E. Phillips Oppenheim. (Hol- 

 der iv iStoughton.) 

 The hero, Tavernake, is an origi- 

 nal. A carpenter by trade, he 

 has risen in life, passed his ex- 

 aminations as surveyor, and is 

 manager in an office before a 

 woman has ever entered his life 

 at all. Then he saves a desperate 

 girl from bnng branded as a thief 

 and from death, and thencefor- 

 .ward gets into a whirl of adven- 

 tures from which he is rescued 

 by a friend who carries him off 

 to British Columbia. There is no 

 hitch in the story from start to 

 the inevitable finish. 



Mrs. Grey's Fast. By Herbert 

 Fiowerdew. (Stanley Paul.) 

 A very daintily-written story, the 

 prevailing impression left upon 

 one's mind being the evil that gos- 

 sips can do, for Mrs. Grey's past 

 has been a story of sisterly love, 

 and utter unselfishness. Fortun- 

 ately the truth is found out, with 

 a happy result. 



The Determined Twins. By Edgar 

 Jepson. (Hutchinson.) 

 Erebus and the Terror are as 

 original as their author. Helen s 

 Babies might have been remote 

 ancestors, and the twin ' Ilea 

 venlies," second cousins once re- 

 moved. Inltense expectation 

 alternates with triumphant 

 laughter, and even at the finish 

 the reader cries. "More!
