Price so cents.
The authoress of Gland and Ring" has
shown us that the vengeance of Heaven though
sometimes delayed, is, nevertheless, certain;
that our smallest acts are links in the chain
which binds us to our destiny, and that
God sets His mark as surely upon the muir
derer of to-day as he did upon the first muir
derer, Cain. The story has decided power; 1t
teens with dramatic incident, and the intricacy
Of the plot rvets the attention and renders 1t
Impossible that even the most pracised novel
reader should anticipate the end.
