Charles Majors New nomancc.

Charles Major. the delightful author

! has written new story, which he
calls The Tombstone Of Fortune" 1t
is said 10 have the same charm OF in
timncy, OF personality, of unaffected
art which carried its predecessor to
fame.
In the main Mr. Major is concerned
in The Tombstone of Fortune" with
the adventures of a charming young
lady known as Frances who comes to
the cour, Of King Charles IL. In the
hope Of winning favor and thereby re-
tricvine part OF the lost fortunes of
her family. Wonderfully beautiful,
and yet very simple i'll her style, i'm
petuous, honest and sincere, she takes
firm stand against the vanities and
| immortalitics of the court circle, and
she is at once plunged into all sorts
! OF difficulties. With the strange per-
verseness of the absolutely innocent
she falls in love With man whose
| name had not been unconnectcd with
scandal and with the riotous doings
! Of the court followers. But when
George Hamilton sees ihat things are
different when measured by Frances
standards, he makes the resolution to
be worthy of her. This is not an easy
thing for him to carry out. however,
lot ne mas TO meet the cunning of the
X Ing and his associates. who do not
want Hamilton for reasons of their
own. TO change his habits OF life. The
plots which arc made up to ensnare
him and which he sometimes fails
into and sometimes keeps out Of,
Franccs's attitude and her final STRAIT
agcm. which place her and her lover
beyond the clutches OF the King, are
set forth by Mr.. Major in most en-
citing fashion. The ending which
, he gives to the series of adventures
is one which will satisfy those who
