A ROMANCE OF THE MOUNTAINS.

THE Mountain Girl" by Payne Frs
kline, a romance of the Blue Ridge Of
North Carolina, is one of the favorites
Of the new books Of fiction, new edi-
lions following rapidly one after anoth-
er. 1t is charming love story in which
Cassandra Merlin. known throughout
the mountain region as Cass a beauti-
full girl without training or education,
but pure, conscientious and of command
ing force Of character and marked
spirituality, is the heroine. Into her life
comes DR.. Thryng, man of refinement
and nobility of character, who finds that
Casa ndra has given her promise to an
unworthy man. The events which
transpire in the humble mountain home,
in the doctors cabin and in the neigh
borhood constitute one Of the most re-
freshing and intensely interesting stories
in current fiction. It is cleverly con-
ceived and abounds in native mountain
language. which gives it an. added
charm. Altogether, 1t is exceptionally
strong. 1.-The Mountain Girl" illus
