dull page in the book, and many will be read with breathless
interest. 'The Golden Magnet' is, of course, the same one that

full-page Illustrations by W.H. Overend, and 2 Maps. Crown 8vo,
cloth elegant, _5s._
Herbert Penfold, being desirous of benefiting the daughter of an
intimate friend, and Ralph Conway, the son of a lady to whom he had
once been engaged, draws up a will dividing his property between
them, and places it in a hiding-place only known to members of his
own family. At his death his two sisters determine to keep silence,
and the authorized search for the will, though apparently thorough,
fails to bring it to light. The mother of Ralph, however, succeeds
in entering the house as a servant, and after an arduous and
exciting search secures the will.
