Mrs Whartons talent and as an

ftuthoreea and the boauty of her style areso wldelyreoocnlred that it Is qulto unneces-

sary to call attention to them at tho ex-

pense of the book as so many of thecritics havo done Why not Instead payher the compliment of seriously tryingtn her object in writing ThiValley of Decision and to see If she hassucceeded In teak To my mind shewished to open a page In Italian historythat has been skipped by English writersund to describe n period when the old orderof government and socloty was slowlyhut surely crumbling away everywherebefore tho Ideas that were filtering In anddisintegrating It and which culminated-In the French Involution

The difficulty and interest of her work lieIn the tact that the same set of ideas whoaplanted In different localities brought forthentirely dissimilar fruit often quite thereveree of what was expected by politicalseer and It U divergent result thatMrs Wharton has depleted with so muohability and taught The book throughoutIs remarkable for the falrnoes of its pointof view It is untouched by partiality andnothing la more difficult for an authorthan to avoid partlwinslilp In any writingbased on history

The most adrairabe feature Is MrsWhartons power of assimilating the con-flicting statements and views of the differ-

ent authorities of the time her capacity toweigh and judge them and then lay thembefore us In the form of original thoughtThe Valley of Decision ls sure to be widely

read and appreciated In England wherepeople have always remained In Intelligenttouch and sympathy with Italy No student of that delightful country can dowithout this book which Is more than anovel an admirable contribution tohistory will undoubtedly become aclassic and wo owe her a debt of gratitude-for having In a picturesque yettruthful that It is necessaryto know Italy of the eighteenth cen-tury In to understand and appre-ciate Italy of today

panT though it waa near catching the littleFrench Prof Leseautlon

The dinosaur up and stuck Itsheed Into tho smell of thecreature was dreadful and set everybodycoughing Presently the little professor be-

gan a I v2ture strutting up andthe terrifying and offensive beast Yousee my friend he said with much gestic-ulation thl In of the dly extinctrace of dlnosauria Of this animal andothers like him we have examples In theSecondary period and the Jura wlo formationOf this class but not of this order ls thegreat sea serpent at which Imbeciles pretend-to laugh All of a sudden the dinosaurstuck out his tongue and managed to touchthe lecturer The tip of the curling tonguefell upon his shoulder The roughnessesof It clung to his jacket fastening them-selves to tho coarse texture He struckout at It wildly and his palm brushed thered rasping surface Ills hand fell backbleeding and torn by the raggedpoint as It it Ho shriekedaloud squirming and dragging desperatelyat tho hold upon his arm wriggling frantic-ally Above him the green eyes flamedscornfully gloating upon him as a stoatmight on a struggling rabbit Out of theopen jaws tho saliva poured upon himdrenching him with noUomenesa

One of the company discharged his rifleat the dinosaur A deep livid gap showedangrily and red in the lapping sinuoustongue With the swiftness of Ught Itswept from Its hold upon the jacket rend-ing the stout cloth In the suddenness ofthe release The professor had sufferedThe surface of his flesh where the rasping

tongue had swept It was scored as If bysome huge nutmeg grater The skin washanging from it In thin strips and fila-

ments Whore tho utmost tip had touchedhis cheek In tho swift withdrawal was a deeplivid scar like the brand of a hot Iron Hisleft palm was raw not a of skinremained upon It Certainly a formidablebeast

We do not understand why tho riflemenof tho party did not shoot down the throat-of tho dinosaur Instead of merely through-his tonguo It was useless to Ire at hisexterior when ho hadLord and a youngcrevice In the rock and was making thingsdreadfully unpleasant for them one of thegentlemen of the expedition fired repeatedly-at the monsters eyes but tho dinosaur

only to wink and the bullets weretho armored eyelids as from the

side of a battleship It needed the forcesof nature to make on end of the monsterIn the nineteenth chapter we read of agreat volcanic disturbance The dinosaurwas trying to eat somebody as usual Theboast shifted his sentry walk uneasilystretching out his neck toward the lavawall and snouting at the warm draughtsuspiciously For a moment he seemed towaver HU nostrils dilated curiouslyThen he glanced toward theand wo thought ho would give over his

for our lives As ho hesitatedlakeward now peering up to us

another crash resounded from the moun-tain Like the tearing of a sheet of paperthe glacier caftan split further shorewardand opened beneath very feet Halfhis bulk rolled Into the cleft thus rivenhis tall one hind limb disappeared

Sllpf jig and spurring franticallyto support himself on his hugo

lost ground with ovary rockof the shuddering earth The cleft yawnedthen half closed again Thus as in a visabe was held his leg and tall mangled in thenip of the He looked like somestupendous In a gigantic gin

The bellow of his agony evenabove the thunderous roll

The blood spurted from his sidesbathing them In a darker tinge than thoflame glow His forefoot beat and thuddedon the stones sweeping them into ridgeswith the convulsions of his agony Hoswung his neck across his shoulders tear-Ing rabidly at tile wounds

The sight was almost too much forGwen had already buried horn

my coat The breathing of thosailors behind me grow stertorous as theirchests rose and fell In unconscious sympathy Speech was taken from us bya very paralysis of horror But worsewas to come

It was a largo death and the sailors canhardly lw blamed for feeling a little senti-mental about it though they know verywell of course that the living dinosaur hailbeen a great peril to Iho expedition Tlwexpedition had plenty of trouble besides-It also some very astonishing good j
