A Fallen Foe. By Katharine King. (Hurst and Blackett.)—We have

always liked Miss King's novels, for their healthy and happy tone, the breezy, open-air life, and the ready sympathy and common-sense there are in them. They are perfectly moral, but never preachy, and the knowledge of animals and sport which the author possesses lends them an additional attraction. A Palen Foe is no exception to the rule. The story is interesting, well constructed, well written, and conveys an impression of its being a true tale.
