THE DEVIL'S OWN. ' By Randall ParrUh.

, The tale concerns chiefly a diaboli-
cal 'plot by Joe Kirby (The Devil's

then set possession of his daughter.
This comes to the knowledge of Lieu
tenant Knox, who happens to be on
the boat where the ptot is weaved.
He is powerless to prevent the rob
bery and the death of the judge,
which follows, but he takes the cause
of the girl as his own and in a scries
of exciting adventures defeats the

time is at the outbreak of the Black

Striking and forceful as have been
youngest and lonesomest soldier boys f" J" !. .i J u . . " ,
infim-k" V nave possessed as much strength and
chairs for horses. They act as ushers
to their-parents, their dollies and
imaginary, auditors. The children
hemselves do some of the preaching.
At the conclusion the children take
the imaginary ride back to their
home. In addition to thii there are
many Old Testament scenes which
are enacted. Each of the fifty-two
sermons has a number of illustrations
and the full color page pictures make
the book exceedingly attractive.
