Cloke and Mrs. Cloke, Friars Pardon, its five farms and its people, are described and characterized as only Kipling can do it. Most readers will find, too, in this latest story of the greatest of living English story-writers, the spiritual touch which was so strongly evident in "They," seemingly marking a new and higher phase of development in man and writer.
