developed story and the reader will follow the fortunes of each character with unabating interest * * * the interest is keen at the close of the first chapter and increases to the end. AT THE TIME APPOINTED. With a frontispiece in colors by J. H. Marchand. The fortunes of a young mining engineer who through an accident loses his memory and identity. In his new character and under his new name, the hero lives a new life of struggle and adventure. The volume will be found highly entertaining by those who appreciate a thoroughly good story. THE CIRCULAR STAIRCASE, By Mary Roberts Reinhart With illustrations by Lester Ralph. In an extended notice the _New York Sun_ says: "To readers who care for a really good detective story 'The Circular Staircase' can be recommended without reservation."

THE RED YEAR, By Louis Tracy "Mr. Tracy gives by far the most realistic and impressive pictures of the horrors and heroisms of the Indian Mutiny that has been available in any book of the kind * * * There has not been in modern times in the history of any land scenes so fearful, so picturesque, so dramatic, and Mr. Tracy draws them as with the pencil of a Verestschagin of the pen of a Sienkiewics."
