COPYRIGHT NOVELS

WILLIAM LE QUEUX.

A Secret Service. Being Strange Tales of a Nihilist. By the author of "The Great War," "Zoraida." With Frontispiece by Harold Piffard. Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d.

"Apart altogether from its political interest, "A Secret Service" will be read and appreciated for its brightly-written stories of mystery and sensation and romance which are threaded together in the narrative of Anton Préhzner."—Daily Mail.


ANNIE E. HOLDSWORTH.

Spindles and Oars. By the author of "The Years that the Locust hath Eaten." Crown 8vo, cloth, with Special Title Page, 3s. 6d.

Miss Holdsworth has written a delightful series of Scottish Idylls, which can only be compared with the work of Mr. J. M. Barrie and "Ian Maclaren." They are full of tender pathos and quaint humour, and are sure to sustain the reputation she has already made.


J. E. MUDDOCK.

Stormlight; or, the Nihilist's Doom. A Story of Switzerland and Russia. With Two Full-page Illustrations by Gordon Browne. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, gilt top, 3s. 6d.

"The work has a strong plot, exciting situations, and a certain truth to history, that make it full of interest."—The Scotsman.

"A thrilling tale, chock full of sensational incidents."—Liverpool Post.


ADA CAMBRIDGE.

A Humble Enterprise. By the author of "The Three Miss Kings," "Fidelis," "A Marked Man," etc. With Four Full-page Illustrations by St. Clair Simmons. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d.

"It is a delightful story, refreshingly original, singularly well told, and absorbingly interesting from beginning to end."—Daily Mail.

"A pretty, graceful story, and one to leave, so to speak, a clean taste in one's mouth; such dishes are rarely served to the public."—Pall Mall Gazette.


MARY TENNYSON.

The Fool of Fate. By the author of "Friend Perditus." Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s.

"Although sad in tone, this book is exceedingly clever and well written.... The book is not loaded with psychological analysis, but the incidents are mainly allowed to speak for themselves, and the work is a clever, clear, and consistent character study."—Bristol Mercury.
