is an original American novel which
will attract a considerable share of
public attention. 1t deals with the
universal passion, though not in
the usual siereotyped way. aud is AT
onee very ingenious and very alb
-orbing. The power Of love was
never perhaps more individually
set forth, but this j. done with such
exceeding tact and skill that there is
nothing objectionable. The hero,
Paul Denton, with his uncUunted
millions which he dispenses with a
lavish haud, is AN ideal lover. The
heroine, Miriam Lee, is married
woman. but she reciprucated Puuls
love with a strength that promised
disaster. Their love life furms the
staple uf the novel, and about il l.

aid in the Development of the plot.

book that will be read through,
and there can De No question Of its
ability to entertain. The title to
this work is misleading, as are so
many novels that cater 10 the de-

elevated and noble in many Of its
chapters. The descriptions of Mt.

people. For sale by all book sellers.
