A Story of Cape-Breton Is.
TT is astonishing how tho heroes always seem to be rescued in Miss Edith J. Archibald’s story of Cape Breton Island, “The Token,” and if it is not a passing ship that happens to be handy it is an ice field. Nevertheless, the story is full of character and gives an interesting picture of life on the island in the 1860’s. {The principal characters are Sheila Morrison, the pretty granduaughfer of Angus Maeßoy, ruling eider of the kirk, Alan Carmichael, and Norton Tyler, the son of tho colliery proprietor. There is apparently a fatal quarrel between Alan and Norton, but they are rescued by a smuggler and pass through many adventures before being restored to their friends. “The oken,” the church members’ evidence of right of admission to the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper, is a special one given to Sheila by the minister as a keepsake, and suspicion is cast upon her when it is known she has handed it to Alan.—(Cassell.)
