A book that Is Interesting from start U finish, and which the tentlon of Interest tightens as the book is perused, le The Captain,” by Churchill Williams. It is a story of Grant, whose life was not romantic, as far as facta go. Tbe fact, then, is that in “The Captain" be la more or less Idealized without aerloualy impairing the actual

Gravois and with his own axe ed a home for his fam the oak tyecs at the rivet depicts the simple life of the silent man. whose motto was, "Do It If it takes forever," among his fellow-set-tlers in the southwest, while the abolition movement was gaining strength and the lines were parting to divide the two sections of the Union, carrying men and women with one set of' sympathies to one side and those differently minded to the other. From Gravois Grant passes into the leather trade at Galena, and when Sumter Is fired on we see him raising npany of soldiers. Never the active leader, he is shown as a man to whom place even thus early in bla career came as the result of a combination of circumstances with which he had not ostentatiously to do. He attended tbe meeting at tbe court bouse when men were to volunteer their services for tbe war, but It was only after much solicitation that he was Induced to go to the platform and deliver a speech. He was Importuned, however, and—"the Captain got up. Heads were craned. He heard them asking who he was. He walked forward slowly. His slouch hat was crushed In one hand. His long, blue overcoat, faded and white nt the seams, flapped open about his knees.'
