Ondy a Guard-Boom Dog. By Edith E. Cuthell. (Methuen and

Co.)—This is a really charming story. Gerald Graham, the little son of an officer living in Aldershot Camp, saves a dog ; and the creature becomes, so to speak, the preserving genius of himself and his family. The adventures which "Tangle, V.C."—such is the animal's name and his honorary rank—goes through in performing this mission are skilfully contrived and excellently told. All lovers of dogs—and that means the better part of the human race—would appreciate this story.
