f
you. It is my--last wish! God bless you, Paul, dear--dear, Paul. I
think that I am--going now--kiss me!"

"My love! My love! Oh! that you could live to be happy with me once
more!"

"There are steps upon the stairs--I think--but they come--too late!
The book on the table--take it! It will--tell you--what you do not
know--of my life! Farewell! Sister Elise! Is that you? Ah! back
once more--in the old convent garden! How sweet--and gentle--the air
is--and what perfumes! You here, Paul! You too! How dim your face
seems--and yet--how happy it makes me--to see it. Dear Paul! we have
been--so happy! Farewell!"

There were strangers in the room, but they came too late. They found
only the corpse of a woman, whose dead lips were parted in a strangely
sweet smile, and a strong man who had swooned by her side in the utter
abandonment of his grief. The hand of human justice had been stayed by
God's mercy!

THE END.

THE

MYSTERY OF THE RAVENSPURS

BY FRED M. WHITE

the best book written by this popular author, since his "Crimson
Blind" and "Corner House," which met with such tremendous success.

It is a romantic tale of adventure, mystery and amateur detective
work, with scenes laid in England, India, and the distant and
comparatively unknown Thibet. A band of mystics from the latter
country are the prime movers in the various conspiracies, and their
new, unique, weird, strange methods form one of the features of the
story.

The book contains 320 pages, with four full-page illustrations and
wrapper design in colors by DE TAKACS, handsomely bound in cloth.

PRICE, $1.25, NET. BY MAIL, POSTPAID, $1.35.

WE HEARTILY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK.
