ands of brigands. Their adventures in this rarely-traversed romantic region are many, and culminate in the travellers being snowed up for the winter in the mountains, from which they escape while their captors are waiting for the ransom that does not come. "This story is told with such real freshness and vigour that the reader feels he is actually one of the party, sharing in the fun and facing the dangers with them."--_Pall Mall Gazette._ "Takes its readers into scenes that will have great novelty and attraction for them, and the experiences with the brigands will be especially delightful to the boyish imagination."--_Scotsman._ BY SARAH DOUDNEY. * * * * * _UNDER FALSE COLOURS._ By SARAH DOUDNEY. With 12 full-page Illustrations by G. G. KILBURNE. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, $1.50. A story which, while it is eminently suitable for girls' reading because of the purity of its style, its genuine pathos and healthy sentiment, has in it so strong a dramatic element that it will attract readers of all ages and of either sex. The incidents of the plot, arising from the thoughtless indulgence of a deceptive freak, are exceedingly natural, and the keen interest of the narrative is sustained from beginning to end. It is worthy of the high reputation attained by the author as a writer of stories interesting as novels and destined for the delight of the home circle. "This is a charming story, abounding in delicate touches of sentiment and pathos. Its plot is skilfully contrived. It will be read with a warm interest by every girl who takes it up."--_Scotsman._ "Sarah Doudney has no superior as a writer of high-toned stories--pure in style, original in conception, and with skilfully wrought-out plots; but we have seen nothing from this lady's pen equal in dramatic energy to her latest work, _Under False Colours_."--_Christian Leader._ BY ROSA MULHOLLAND. * * * * * _GIANNETTA:_ A Girl's Story of Herself. By ROSA MULHOLLAND. With 8 full-page Illustrations by LOCKHART BOGLE. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine edges, $1.50. The daughter of an Anglo-I
