In this novel, Anthony Hope, after a long interval, returns again to similar scenes that formed the background of his famous novel "The Prisoner of Zenda."

Captain Dieppe, adventurer, servant of fortune, and, if not a fugitive, still a man to whom recognition would be inconvenient and perhaps dangerous, with only fifty francs in his pocket and a wardrobe in a knapsack might be seen marching up a long steep hill on a stormy evening. Later he finds himself before a castle bordering on a river and his curiosity is roused by finding only one half of the house lighted up. He meets the Count of Fieramondi, hears from him a strange story, and of course takes an active interest in his affairs.

The story, which has a powerful love interest running through it, tells of his many adventures.

This delightful novel can be thoroughly recommended. It gives a very true impression of a bit of English life in and about a provincial town in War time. The story concerns three daughters of a Colonel, of whom the eldest is the central figure. These and the other characters who are interwoven into the story are absolutely natural, convincing and typical, and will be found most interesting company.

All the Author's Profits are to be devoted to Italian Refugees.

The scenes in this volume, which contains nearly 100,000 words, are laid in the West Country, the most popular setting of this famous author. It shows Eden Phillpotts at his best.

Everybody is on the look-out for a good strong story of love and adventure. Here is an exceptionally fine one, on the South Seas, which all lovers of Stevenson's and Stacpoole's novels will thoroughly enjoy. Each page grips the attention of the reader, and few will put the book down till the last page is reached.

This is a story, or rather study, of a young clerk, the type of clerk that the modern commercial machine turns out by the hundred thousand as a by-product of our civilization. Simpson, invoicing clerk at Snell's, the celebrated patent-food people, had always seen life through the medium of thirty shillings a week, and the only oasis in his dreary desert of existence was his annual fortnight at Margate, where flannels, cheap excitements and "girls" abounded.

Why did not Mr. William Hewlett leave Simpson in this humble obscurity? Well, because Destiny had a great and moving part for him in the comedy of life! I don't think Simpson ever realized it was a "part" he was playing. It was certainly not the part he planned for himself, and throughout the period in which, at Mr. Hewlett's bidding he appears as a public character, he is seen almost invariably doing the thing he dislikes.

Simpson would have pursued the customary course of clerking and philandering to the end of his days, had it not been for an enterprising hosier, an unenterprising actor and the egregious Ottley—the public-school "Spark" dropped into Snell's like a meteor from the skies. The hosier and the actor introduced poor Simpson to "temperament," and temperament is a restive horse in a needy clerk's stable. But Ottley introduced him to Winnie. Winnie was there before, of course, a typist in his own office. But it was not until Ottley wove his evil web for Nancy that Winnie wove her innocent spell for Simpson. And because Winnie held Simpson securely and loved her friend's honour better than her own happiness, he rose to the full height of manhood, and to make the supreme sacrifice which turned him, an avowed enemy of heroics, into the greatest and most unexpected of heroes.

The story has a strong love-interest running through it with a most dramatic ending. It cannot fail to increase Mr. William Hewlett's popularity, and the publishers wish to draw special attention to it.

Millicent Newberry, a small, inconspicuous woman in grey, is a clever lady detective.

She keeps green wool by her and knits a kind of pattern of her case into the article she is making at the time. When the story opens, she is asked to employ her wits to the loss of the Mason Emeralds. The Green Jacket is the bit of knitting she has in hand. Her condition of undertaking a case is permission to deal privately with the criminal as she thinks best—reforming treatment rather than legal punishment—and she makes it work.

This detective story can be thoroughly recommended. The Author combines an exciting story with the charm of real literary art; the mystery is so impenetrable as to baffle the cleverest readers until the very sentence in which the secret is revealed.

Here is a first novel which, we believe, will bring to the Author immediate popularity. It is an attractive story of the Stuart Rebellion of the '45, full of love and adventure and with a good ending. The hero, young Chisholm, of English birth, joins Prince Charlie and the Stuart cause. How he meets and loves Sheila, the young girl chieftain of the Mac Ross Clan, and their many perils and adventures with rival claimants and traitors, together with happenings of many historical persons and incidents appearing throughout the story, make "Claymore" one of the best and arresting historical novels published for many a year.

This volume consists of a short novel of about 25,000 words and several fine Anglo-Indian and other stories.

EARLY REVIEWS.

"Ten of her very clever tales."—The Globe.

"This attractive book."—Observer.

"We can cordially recommend this book."—Western Mail.

"An admirable and distinguished bit of writing. Mrs. Perrin at her best."—Punch.

"I can recommend these stories."—Evening News.

This story is an inspiration to cheerful living. Not the impossible, sentimental, goody-goody kind, but the sane, sensible, human and humorous. Take it up if you are down-cast and learn how to keep the sunny slopes in sight, even if the way seems to lead into the dark valley.

Its appeal is to all who love clean, wholesome, amusing fiction. Both young and those not so young will glory in Carrol's fight for her husband's life, and laugh over Connie's hopeless struggle to keep from acquiring a lord and master. The quotations below will show you that Ethel Hueston has something to say and knows how to say it.

"If one can be pretty as well as sensible I think it's a Christian duty to do it."

"He is as good as an angel and as innocent as a baby. Two very good traits, but dangerous when you take them both together."

"The wickedest fires in the world would die out if there were not some idle hands to fan them."

"The only way to keep your husband out of danger is to tackle it yourself."

"Read Chapter IV and see how Carol does it."

Mr. Le Queux's famous detective novels need no introduction to readers; they sell by the tens of thousands. The "Cabinet Minister" is a new novel with a weird and fascinating plot which holds the reader from the first page to the last. His Majesty's Cabinet Minister, Mr. George Chesham, has disappeared in very mysterious circumstances, and in his place is a dead stranger, who let himself into the house with Mr. Chesham's own latch-key. This is the problem set for the public and readers to unravel. The story is full of highly exciting incidents of love and adventure, with a strong detective interest—the Covers unravelling the mystery—in the true Le Queux style.

A remarkable, thrilling and swiftly-moving story of love, adventure and mystery woven round about half a dozen characters on the Atlantic coast of Ireland, Liverpool and elsewhere, in connection with the invention of a new material made from papier mÂchÉ (destined to take the place of steel), and the building of a wonderful new ship from it. Finally, when launched, "The Secret Monitor" goes on a mission to destroy a German base, and a succession of breathless adventures follow. This novel ought to considerably increase the popularity which has been gradually and consistently growing for Mr. Guy Thorne's mystery novels. No one, after picking up the book, will want to put it down until the last page is read.

No mere critical description can do justice to the charm with which spiritual and moral lessons are made to flow (not merely are drawn) out of natural facts or objects. Stories, too, are made use of with admirable taste, and the lessons taught are, without exception, sound and admirable. We cannot doubt that the volume will be, and will remain, a standard favourite."

I put into the hands of my Candidates for Confirmation Ridgeway's Manual 'How to Prepare for the Holy Communion,' with the satisfactory result that every one of them came to the early Communion yesterday.
