READABLE NovErs.--Carringlon's Cams. By J. Storer Clouston. (Blackwood. 5s. net.)—A
series of detective stories. Although Carrington himself is not a very convincing figure, the stories are amusing and many of the situations ingenious. —The Elephant God. By Gordon Casserly. (Phillip Allan. es. net.)—An Anglo-Indian story in which a native rising is finally defeated by a marvellous elephant who under the orders of Major Kevin Dermot commands a herd of wild elephants with the utmost intelligence. The adventures described are interesting, and from the publisher's note giving the particulars of Colonel Gordon Casserly's career, it is to be presumed that he knows what he is writing about. Still, to be required to believe in the intelligence and organizing powers of the elephant Badsbah is what may be called " a tall order."—Anne Richmond. By Mrs. Alfred Praga. (Odhams Press. 8s. ed. net.)—The story of a girl who takes astounding measures in order to come into her woman's inheritance of maternal love. In the end she marries the father of her child, and it is to be presumed lives happily ever after.
