fortunes of the heroine, an Indian Naucht girl, are told with a vigor, pathos, and a wealth of poetic sympathy that makes the book admirable from first to last. "To Arms!" Being Some Passages from the Early Life of Allan Oliphant, Chirurgeon, Written by Himself, and now Set Forth for the First Time. By ANDREW BALFOUR. Illustrated. (In press.) 1 vol., library 12mo, cloth =$1.50= A romance dealing with an interesting phase of Scottish and English history, the Jacobite Insurrection of 1715, which will appeal strongly to the great number of admirers of historical fiction.

By MARIA LOUISE POOLE, author of "In a Dike Shanty," etc. Illustrated. (In press.) 1 vol., library 12mo, cloth =$1.25= An extremely well-written story of modern life.
