The January New LlppinOott."

CYRUS TOWNSEND BRADY's new novel is
ublished-complete- ia the January num-
Der of the "New Lippinco t." THIS is a
Revolutionary Love Story or, as the subtitle
has it: "A Comedy of Cross Purposes in the
Carolinas." The real title, "When Blades
are Out and Loves Aheld,' fits the plot to
perfection. "Bades' stands for the hot
headed Young officers: and "iove" is rep
resented by the two pretty, plucky Moth
Carolina girls, whose nearest male relative
is staunch Tory, while their own sympa-
thies lean towards the Colonies, and their
lovers ago on both sides of the fight. This
combination of circumstances makes things
lively for the girls, and leaves no time for
ennui. Exciting events follow each other in
quick succession, and there is not a break in
the interest of the tail from cover to cover.
This must take first place in the list of Mr..
BIady's novels.
