is watch. They seemed enclosed in a silence
vast as space, and sweeter than thought could fathom. A great ocean of
contentment flowed about them, stretching into infinity. Neither could
have thought of anything to wish for. They seemed in absolute possession
of all joy.

A sound--the striking of a clock--broke the spell of silence. They moved
a little apart, and so looked long into each other's eyes. Then Noel
bent toward the face upraised to his, and their lips met.

There were tears in Christine's eyes as she sank back from that kiss,
but her happiness was complete, absolute, supreme. God had given to them
both his richest gift of pleasure after pain.

The New Literary Review

_A Monthly News Journal of Belles Lettres._

Single copies 10 cents. By the year $1.00

The publishers wish to make no large promises, but they believe _The New
Literary Review_ will be found to be as interesting a literary news
journal as any American periodical of the kind.

The department of notes and comment under the title of _Various
Appraisements_ the Editor will endeavor to make particularly inclusive
and entertaining.

The _Reviews of New Books_ while for the most part necessarily brief
will be written with the object of giving a concise, impartial and
careful summary of the books under discussion.

In addition to these _Notes and Reviews_ there will be many
contributions of _Essays_, _Poetry_, and _Fiction_.

The object of the Editor and Publishers is to present a programme which
without undue pretensions, will prove to be both well proportioned and
of considerable entertainment.
