CATTLE IN THE DESERT.
Tn "The Bridle Track" (Angus and Robertson) Mr. J. J. Hardin has placed a conventional story in a picturesque and little known setting. As a novel of character it is not in the first rank, but it is a most vivid and exciting description of the lives of cattle and slice]) drovers in Now South Wales and the Territory. The author of "Cattle Camp" and "Lantana" obviously knows his subject from the inside. He reveals a passionate love of horses, and an understanding of all the animals of which lie writes. He describes the technical skill of droving with a satisfying completeness of detail, and his battered, red-haired hero tones in admirably with a landscape that is both fascinating and forbidding. The book would make an excellent talkie of the njore adventurous type, and one hopes that it will not escapc the notice of the Australian film industry.'
