Who is the happy Warrior? Who is he .
'Who'll serve the King?' cried the sergeant aloud
Whom for thy race of heroes wilt thou own
Who to the murmurs of an earthly string

Why do they prate of the blessings of Peace? We
have made them a curse

Why is it that ye grieve, O weak in faith
Why lingers my gaze where the last hues of day
Wide are the plains to the north and the westward. 262
Winds of the World, give answer! They are whim-

pering to and fro

Ye Mariners of England

Yes, let us own it in confession free
You ask me, why, tho' ill at ease

You brave heroic minds.

Willowdene Will

By HALLIWELL. SUTCLIFFE. Author of "Ricroft of Withens," &c.

A highwayman whose exploits appear to be the outcome of exuberant spirits and love of adventure rather than a desire to prey on his fellow-creatures, is different from the generally accepted idea of gentlemen of the road. His jovial and generous nature enlists one's sympathies at once; his various escapes and the ludicrous situations in which he leaves his would-be captors combine to make an extremely interesting and amusing book.
