MgADABLE NOVELS.—The Judgment House. By Gilbert Parker. (Methuen and Co.
6s.)—Sir Gilbert can give us a more solid and better-informed story of the Boer War than many that have appeared. He has also drawn some characters keenly ; but he treats a murder too melodramatically and reassembles his characters incredibly on the Tugela.— Smoke Bellew. By Jack London. (Mills and Boon. 6s.)— Jack London takes us back to the Klondike with a loosely constructed, most exhilarating account of virility and good comradeship.—The Romance of a Few Days. By Putnam Weale. (Methuen and Co. 6s.)—An amorous Englishman is drawn into revolutionary circles by a beautiful Pole. The setting in Moscow is well done; the writing is unattractive. —The Man from Nowhere. By V. Bridges. (Mills and Boon. 6s.)—Furious sensation, making a tolerable "shocker."
