Among the Cape Kafirs. By E. Glanville. (Swan Sonnenschein and Co.)—.A. couple of stories of Cape life. The first, "On the Border," the story of a Kaffir raid, is well told, with a slight touch of romance. "Ukutwasa " is a somewhat weird tale of a haunted cave and evil spirit, and the adventures of two men therein. In both, the course of true love runs fairly smooth, and the plots, though slight, are sufficient to support two very pleasant sketches of border life. The first is decidedly the best, the Hottentot " Hendrik " being a well-drawn and interesting character, con- taining a curious mixture of superstition and courage.
