HEADON HILL.

The Rajah's Second Wife. A Story of Missionary Life and Trial in India. By the author of "Zambra the Detective," "Cabinet Secrets," etc. With Two Full-page Illustrations by Waler S. Stacey. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt. 3s. 6d.

"Will assuredly be read with the deepest interest.... The novel, as a whole, is one that will be read with genuine pleasure."—The Scotsman.


The Divinations of Kala Persad. With Two Full-page Illustrations by Stanley L. Wood. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d.

"Distinctly worth having. 'The Divinations of Kala Persad,' so far as the book relates to that remarkable man, have a novelty that is refreshing."—The Spectator.

"The stories in this book are well told and interesting, and have the charm of freshness."—St. James's Gazette.


The Queen of Night. With Frontispiece by Harold Piffard. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d.

No one who is familiar with the work of Mr. Headon Hill will dispute that in "The Queen of Night" is to be found the most skilful and enthralling detective story he has yet done. The idea is absolutely original, and is worked out with breathless interest and unusual power. From first to last it holds the reader's attention.


MAGGIE SWAN.

A Neglected Privilege: The Story of a Modern Woman. By the author of "A Late Awakening," etc. With Two Full-page Illustrations by Stephen Reid. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d.

Readers of Annie Swan and Silas Hocking will find a story to their liking in Maggie Swan's new novel, "A Neglected Privilege." It is a pure and wholesome tale, told with as much skill as characterises the work of her longer known sister. Every lover of pure literature will enjoy this charming tale.


A Late Awakening. With Two Full-page Illustrations by St. Clair Simmons. Square fcap. 8vo, cloth elegant, gilt top, price 2s. 6d.

"'A Late Awakening' is both pretty and pathetic. Miss Swan has a distinct faculty for describing wild scenery in the Scottish islands and for realistically painting the life led by people in the lonely villages thereon. Her characters are excellent."—The Star.
