With Rifle and Kuhn. By Frederick P. Gibbon. (R.T.S. 3s.

6d.)—Something more than a third of this volume is occu- pied with the story of a Gurkha lad who becomes a soldier and wins no little credit, —as, indeed, Gurkhas are wont to do. An excellent story it is, from the killing of the tiger with which it opens down to the return of the young hero to his home. There is no monotony about it ; Mr. Gibbon evidently knows the life on the frontier well, and more than one aspect of it. There are ten other stories, all worth reading. Some of them have already appeared in periodicals ; it is well that they have been now collected. Mr. J. Finnemore's illustrations in colour are full of spirit.
