Miser HoadIey's secret.

This story, by A w. Marchmont, sus-
tains his reputation as clever story wri-
ter. 1t is a story OF crime and mystery
and is rightly classed a detective story.
Miser Hoadley, who lives a double life un-
der a double name. is murdered early in
the action, and his daughter, VINO inherits
his fortune. is charged with the duty OF
discovering his murderer. The daughter is
an interesting character, and her strange
experiences in connection with detectives

The plan Of the work contemplated the
collection of the best essays of the best
writer's Of all ages from the earliest period
10 the present time and Of all countries
and il has been very intelligently carried
out. The names of the authors are indexed
alphabetically without reference TO the De-
riod when they lived. and those in this
volume begin with Madame Roland and
end with John Arlington Symonds. The
list includes forty authors, with from one
to twenty essays by each. Thus there are
five essays by Jonathan Swift, thirteen by
Richard Steele. ten by Robert Southy
twelve by Sydney Smith. nine by Madame
Roland, twenty-four by John Ruskin, four
by Olive Schrener. and so on. In "A gem
eral way the subjects treated may be

The Wager.

When ii is said that the first few pages of
this story. by L.. McManus, introduce the
reader TO three characters named, respec-
lively, O'Donnell, OKavanagh and O'Car-
roll. it hardly needs to be added that it is
an Irish story. 1t is laid in Limerick dur
ing the siege of 1880. and purports to be
passage from the memoirs of Brlgadier
Mall MacGuinneSs, some time captain IN
Sarsfield's Horse and later in the service
of Louis XIV OF France. The wager"
hangs upon the disappearance of dia-
mond cross that one Captain ODonnell
has confded TO his generals wife for safe
keeping. Its finding is attended with ad-
venture, romance and mystery. The story
possesses interest and is well told, barring
rather an excess of Celtic phrases. New

publication, IL Is fair to assume that

Henry Hastings, was suggested by, IL not

in the same period and deals largely with

The Clustering of Ursula.

This novel. by Clinton Scotland. has two
characteristics somewhat unusual in the So
called historical novel of to-day. First,
there is a vivid. yet simple plot, carrying
the reader straight through with 10 let
down; and, second. the English is fine. But
when a man who, like Scotland. has made
a reputation as a poet, writes a novel. his
mastery of words is to be counted upon
in the production more than power. In this
book both are found. The time is of the
first dawn of the Renaissance in Italy
amid the lives and feuds of the families OF
the Uccelli and the Neri. The hero is
Andrea, Marquis of Uccelli. and the heroine
is the young ward of Ugolino Neri. The
story is a pretty one, and should not be
spoiled by premature disclosure of its plot.
The illustrations by Harry c. Edwards are
well done and in keeping with the text.
