ays on the quiet
river, far from the noise of trains, and content to leave Bradshaw in
the bottom of the travelling-bag, where it had been thrown at the end
of our feverish wanderings.
Once again we had recourse to it, however, when we started on our
honeymoon, Basil and I. Once more we found ourselves at Calais with
Philpotts, but no encumbrances, bound on a second, a far happier, and
much less eventful journey by the Engadine express.
THE END.

of New Fiction
Haunters of the Silences, BY CHARLES G.D. ROBERTS, author
of "Red Fox," "The Watchers of the Trails," etc.
Cloth, one volume, with many drawings by Charles Livingston Bull, four
of which are in full color $2.00
The stories in Mr. Roberts's new collection are the strongest and best
he has ever written.
He has largely taken for his subjects those animals rarely met with in
books, whose lives are spent "In the Silences," where they are the
supreme rulers. Mr. Roberts has written of them sympathetically, as
always, but with fine regard for the scientific truth.
"As a writer about animals, Mr. Roberts occupies an enviable place. He
is the most literary, as well as the most imaginative and vivid of all
the nature writers."--_Brooklyn Eagle._
"His animal stories are marvels of sympathetic science and literary
exactness."--_New York World._
The Lady of the Blue Motor. By G. SIDNEY PATERNOSTER,
author of "The Cruise of the Motor-Boat Conqueror," "The Motor
Pirate," etc.
Cloth decorative, with a colored frontispiece
by John C. Frohn $1.50
The Lady of the Blue Motor is an audacious heroine who drove her
mysterious car at breakneck speed. Her plea for assistance in an
adventure promising more than a spice of danger could not of course be
disregarded by any gallant fellow motorist. Mr. Paternoster's hero
rose promptly to the occasion. Across France they tore and across the
English Channel. There, the escapade past, he lost her.
Mr. Paternoster, however, is generous, and allows the reader to follow
their separate adventures until the Lady of the Blue Motor is found
again and properly vindicated of all save womanly courage and
affection. A unique romance, one continuous exciting series of
adventure.
Clementina's Highwayman. ROBERT NEILSON STEPHENS, author
of "The Flight of Georgiana," "An Enemy to the King," etc.
