! as I looked on Angus's in that moment, I knew to whom
my child belonged the most. But the broken emblems of Another's lay
before me, and I made the lesser sacrifice with joy.
I watched his eager step, nor did he seek to control its pace. Swiftly
he walked, and I could not forbear to follow with my eyes till he stood
before the door.
A moment he paused, I know not why--then he slowly entered and the door
was shut.

_Doctor Luke of The Labrador_
BY NORMAN DUNCAN
"Mr. Duncan is deserving of much praise for this, his first
novel.... In his descriptive passages Mr. Duncan is sincere to the
smallest detail. His characters are painted in with bold, wide
strokes.... Unlike most first novels, 'Doctor Luke' waxes stronger
as it progresses."--_N. Y. Evening Post._
_James MacArthur, of Harper's Weekly, says_: "I am delighted with
'Doctor Luke.' So fine and noble a work deserves great success."
"A masterpiece of sentiment and humorous characterization. Nothing
more individual, and in its own way more powerful, has been done in
American fiction.... The story is a work of art."--_The
Congregationalist._
_Joseph B. Gilder, of The Critic, says_: "I look to see it take its
place promptly among the best selling books of the season."
"It fulfills its promise of being one of the best stories of the
season. Mr. Duncan evidently is destined to make a name for himself
among the foremost novelists of his day.... Doctor Luke is a
magnetic character, and the love story in which he plays his part
is a sweet and pleasant idyl.... The triumph of the book is its
character delineation."--_Chicago Record-Herald._
_Miss Bacon, Literary Editor of The Booklover's Library, says_: "Of all
the stories I have read this Autumn there is none that I would rather
own."
"Norman Duncan's novel is a great enterprise, and will probably
prove to be the greatest book yet produced by a native of
Canada."--_Toronto Globe._
