publishers. In it Bayard Taylor appears
in a new character, his versatility this
time leading him to astonish us with a
veritable magazine love story. 1t is q
novel conceit which he embodies in the
tale of "Twin-Love," and exquisitely de-

Harper'S Magaajne comes in these dog

variety. Both Justin Mccarthy and
Annie Thomas contribute short stories, |
and John G. SAKE has pleasant and pun
