The White laid of the Atlas. By J. McLaren Cobban.

(W. -and R. Chambers.)—The hero of the story, a young, reckless, but really good fellow, is sent to Morocco to obtain a little discipline from travel, and meets with some stirring adventures in the Atlas mountains and in the desert. The description of the journey from Marakesh to Telnet and the Berber stronghold, and the subsequent fighting, is fresh, vigorous, and picturesque. The story moves quickly and the characters are lifelike. The White laid of the Atlas is distinctly good reading, and boys will find in it much matter that is new and interesting.
