THE MAGPIE LATEST STORY BY CANADIAN Douglas Durkln's Book. Is Well Worthy of Perusal The latest book poblihcd by louglas Durkin, the lUinadiau author who was here last winter. is " The Magpie." The nanw in dicates nothing. It was simply a nickname given to the hero of the story because he hail so little to say in company. He was a man who pondered a great deal on so cial and economic iiielion, es pecially tlio-e which came to Hie fore during the war. 'llie story lias to do little with the grain exchange al Winnipeg hut that i only incidental. could have been located almost anywhere with a few of the de tails changed. It deals with the age old problems of love. Jealousy, deceit, wealth, poverty. honor and dishonor. The leading character is a composite, hut he Clones out all rigid all hough not ipiile as the story- hooks or dinarily would have made him. "The Magpie" is u Ixjok thai is well worthy of persiial. It will iiulagouie some and will please others hut it will have the effect of making all lis readers think. It will keep before readers some lof llie problems thai eventually have lo be worked out, but which !tslay ure very far from a scllle- itnenl. lecrtliing the hero, the writer says: lie sensed nif error in .judg ment as a carpenter might sense an error in length or breadth or height. His religion was a faith in the order of the world in which he lived. Friendship was an experiment in the harnioi" of human nature." Speaking of one of the female characters in the book Hie writer says: "She snicked with an air of one who knew how lo take the last bit of pleasure out of every thing she did." 1 Soliloquizing on one of the worneil characters and then on women, in general, he says: "Per haps these crpalures of light and laughter were sent Into Hie world that romance might live and that men might he coaxed lo forget Iheir sordid memories and yield to tender allurement."
