It deals with the situation on the frontier in August, 1914. The Forbidden Sacrifice. By Elizabeth York Miller. (Simpkin, Marshall, and Co. Ca.)—The story of a wife who adopts a moat questionable line of conduct in order to obtain the money for her husband's recovery from threatened tuberculosis.---The Picture Book. By Harold Begbie.
