RECENT PUBLICATIONS.
 Rupert of Henzau," Dodd & Mead,
 publishers; for sale by the F. P. Judd
 Co. In this work Anthony Hope, with
 his customary perspicacity and brill-
 fancy, presents the finale of his very charming story, Prisoner of Zenda."
 The suspicious of the readers of
 the latter volume, that the gifted au- thor had yet more to give his readers
 on the subject, is beautifully realized in
 the present work. It was readily seen that there was easily, a future for Ras- sendyl and his Queen sweetheart if the author were so disposed. The readers appetite for more concerning them and as to what became of them was whet- ted, and the popular wish on the sub ject is charmingly gratified. The read
 CT is convinced that an important de-
 nouement is coming as page after page
 of the charming story is absorbed.
 The new story is fully the equal of it's forerunner in interest. The Queen
 mourns for Rassendyl, while the real
 king whom she cannot love, but whose wife she unwillingly or unhappily finds herself, is opportunely disposed of by tragic fate, and Rassendyl finds himself confronted with a clever plot to make | him king in reality and the husband of | the woman whom he so passtonately loves, and who is as passionately loved in return. Chivalric, brave. heroic, the doomed man wrestles alone in the gar l den with the problem-on the one hand | royalty and power wrongfully as- sumed and the queen awaiting his hand, on the other duty and honor. | Suddenly an assa ssin's bullet ends the conflict and the death of Rassendyl pre- vents happy ending to the story, yet | closes it powerfully and brilliantly, while | leaving to the authors readers the gloomy feeling that the story cannot well be continued in our next" Sphinx Lore" Is well arranged and | interesting Collection of original lite rary ingenuities and historical recrea- | tions, interspersed with charades, ana grams and diagrams and jingle puz- zles," by Charlotte Brewster Jordan, | Price s1.25.
