sketch or of the striking colored illustrations drawn for the book by
Dan Smith. It is not alone in the superb local coloring or the vivid
character work that "With Hoops of Steel" is a notable book. The
incidents are admirably described and full of interest, and the movement
of the story is continuous and vigorous. The action is spirited and the
climaxes dramatic. The plot is cleverly devised and carefully unfolded.
After finishing the book one feels that he has just seen the country,
has mingled with the characters and has been a witness of the incidents
described.--_Denver Times_.

A NOVEL OF EARLY NEW YORK.

PATROON VAN VOLKENBERG
BY HENRY THEW STEPHENSON.
* * * * *
The action of the story begins when New York was a little city of less
than 5,000 inhabitants. The conflict between the law-abiding citizens,
led by the Governor, Earl Bellamont, and the merchants, headed by
Patroon Van Volkenberg, is at its height.
The Governor has forbidden the port to the free traders or pirate ships,
which infested the Atlantic and sailed boldly under their own flag;
while the Patroon and his merchant colleagues not only traded openly
with the buccaneers, but owned and managed such illicit craft.
The atmosphere of the tale is fresh in fiction, the plot is stirring and
well knit, and the author is possessed of the ability to write forceful,
fragrant English.
