Of cheap and select works il "Mac's White
Witch" The name Is not specially felici-

blonde widow, to whom the hero had been
engaged before marriage, and who works
him some serious. though not fatal injury

plot AZ n she ri 1.-THE Princess Of Thule"
who, it will be remembered, was the
daughter OF the chief Of one Of the remote
western isles OF Scotland, and married and
taken to London by gentleman Of that
city. Miss Quentin, the daughter ii the

Lieutenant OF the British savy, visiting
Wyndygates, marries her upon her fathers

in love with her. though she has not re-
turned the passion. The husband takes
the wife to an interior town Of England, hi
old home, where lives Mrs. st. George. the
widow to whom he was once afiianeesl,
whose shutter colored' complexion and
hair are glosted over by the novelist. Mrs.
ST. George re-establishes her dominion over
the husband, and . handsome Jew from
whose nose the aquiline has disappeared,
pays considerable attention to the wife, AMI
jealousy almost completes the ruin OF the
little household. The white witch, how
ever, only deserves revenge, AMI the sup
posed lover means No harm. All parties
are reconciled ~ last. The idea of marry
ing an inexperienced girl to man ii the
world and transplanting her from rural

being worn little too thin for qualification
Besides this, Mr.. Douglas-it is to be pre-
,umed that he Is "Mr." from the absence oi
any reverse iniOrmation-is crude in style,
snd not overly skilifnl in plot, showing a
