note: The gleaming archway 12.00 Keen*eyed, fearless people, hungry for life with all its experiences, move through this romance of the Magic Coast. Bud Powers, sinis* ter, half'simian embodiment of the untamed brute in man; warm" hearted Stella; Maitland, the adventurous idealist; beautiful Jocelyn, the wife of an Anglo* Indian officer, ever haunted by the mysterious bells of Ys; Cap* tain Hardy, ex~pirate and gun* runner; these are some of the characters. The settings are se* eluded valleys, British Columbian logging camps, and the crowded streets on the water-front of Canada's gateway to the Orient. The rapid action and deft characterization hold the readers' interest to the end. IBRARY ERSITY OF COLUMBIA THE GLEAMING ARCHWAY y THE GLEAMING ARCHWAY By A. M.
