_An Ingenious and Engrossing Romance_
THE PRINCESS THORA
By HARRIS BURLAND
_Author of "Dacobra." Illustrated. 12mo. $1.50_
A remarkably absorbing romance, conceived and planned with fine
imagination, yet carried out with all the vivid actuality and
plausibility of the most prosaic "detective" story. The nearest
counterpart of this engrossing and very unusual narrative is perhaps
to be found in the work that first made Rider Haggard famous, though
the story owes literally nothing to anything that has gone before, so
startlingly novel is its theme and so boldly convincing is its
execution.
_A Romance of Early Michigan_
THE WOLVERINE
By ALBERT L. LAWRENCE
_Illustrated. 12mo. $1.50_
A spirited story of love and politics, with its scenes laid in Detroit
just before Michigan became a state, and when disputes over the Ohio
boundary line nearly led to open warfare. Perry North, a young
surveyor of Puritan ideas, is sent to Detroit when he falls in love
with Marie Beaucoeur, a charming French girl, of the Catholic faith.
The English and French characters are strongly contrasted, the
incidents are novel, and the story makes a continuous impression of
actuality.

_Richard Le Gallienne's New Book_
PAINTED SHADOWS
By the Author of "The Love-Letters of the King," etc.
12mo. $1.50
Mr. Le Gallienne's new book displays in a remarkable degree his fine
imagination, charming style, and the high quality of his verse. "The
Youth of Lady Constantia," "The Wandering Home," "The Shadow of the
Rose," "Beauty's Portmanteau," and "Old Silver" are equal to his best
work, and the story which bears the title "Poet take Thy Lute" will
appeal especially to those who love what is best and most beautiful in
literature.
_The Heroine with the Marvellous Voice_
SWEET PEGGY
By LINNIE SARAH HARRIS
_With frontispiece. 12mo. $1.50_
A summer idyll, with love, music, and nature for its themes, and the
mountains and lakes for its scenes. The heroine, Peggy, is charming,
fresh, and unconventional,
