The scapegoat: a romance and a parable. New rev. ed. Appleton. 12°, $1.50.

To quote Hall Caine: “This book in its present form is new to American readers, although a book under the same title, telling practically the same story, was published in America seven years ago. That was just after the passing of the copyright act, and the effort to

meet the conditions of the new law seemed to

require that the romance should be published in what I knew was an immature and wholly unsatisfactory form."

"The author ought to be able to tell a good sea-story, for he began to breathe salt air while afloat when two years old. He is a grandson of the late Admiral Thornton Alexander Jenkins, United States Navy, who was Farragut's flag-captain during the fight in Mobile Bay, and who had under him Lieutenant George Dewey, the hero of Manila. Dewey was standing at the admiral's side when he was struck by a piece of a hundred-pounder rifle shell, which killed six and wounded eight men. He is the son of General Hains, of the regular army, who served through the entire Civil War, and who captured the city of Guyama, Porto Rico, during the late war. He is a brother of Lieutenant John P. Hains, now stationed at Alcatraz Island, San Francisco, who was the last officer shot during the war."-Inter-Ocean.

"In his sympathetic introduction to this book, Mr. Opie Read says that the author' plays upon an instrument new to our ears, quaintly Japanese, an air at times simple and sweet, as tender as the chirp of a bird in love, and then as wild as the scream of a hawk.' In the story itself there is a great deal of love, some humor, and a strain of pathos. It shows what a tragedy may result when a pretty American girl allows herself to enter into a flirtation with a Japanese, even when the latter is a Harvard graduate, and has been betrothed from childhood to the daughter of his father's best friend, the Miss Numè of the title. The whole volume

is redolent with the warmth of spring and the fragrance of plum blossoms."-Commercial Ad

Seven years later Therese Kellner had become known as a novelist and poet under the pseudonym which she has made well known even beyond her native land. There is a tragic note in her poems that none of the known circumstances of her life would

seem to account for.
