Eugene, and
their most pronounced honeymoon hours are spent in the little cottage,
under Denise's rejoicing eyes. There are always so many things to talk
over, and the years to come must be the more crowded to make up for one
lost in the desert.
Polly's engagement gets shortened from two years to six months. Mr.
Murray sets up a house, and Eugene is an important factor. He fits
admirably into the life that has come to him; men of this stamp are
saved or lost simply by the result of circumstances, and his are
sufficiently strong to save him.
Marcia will flit and flutter about until she captures another husband.
She makes an attractive heroine of herself, but how near she came to
tragedy she will never know. Floyd Grandon dismisses these ugly blots
on the old life; he can well afford it in the perfect enjoyment that
comes to him, a little fame, much honor, and a great deal of love.

LEE AND SHEPARD'S POPULAR FICTION
AMANDA M. DOUGLAS' NOVELS.
Osborne of Arrochar. By AMANDA M. DOUGLAS. Price, cloth, $1.50. Popular
edition, $1.00.
"In this novel, the author introduces us to an interesting family of
girls, who, in default of the appearance of the rightful heir, occupy
an old, aristocratic place at Arrochar. Just as it has reached the
lowest point of dilapidation, through lack of business capacity on the
part of the family, Osborne appears to claim his inheritance, and the
interesting problem presents itself of marrying one of the daughters or
turning the family out. The author thus gives herself a fair field to
display her skill in the painting of character, the management of
incident, and the construction of the dialogue. She has been in a large
degree successful. We feel that we are dealing with real persons; and,
as to the management of the story, it is sufficient praise to say that
the interest is cumulative. The book will add to the author's
reputation."--_School Journal, N.Y._
The Heirs of Bradley House. By AMANDA M. DOUGLAS. Price, $1.50. Popular
edition, $1.00.
"The author has won a most honorable place in the literary world by the
character as well as cleverness of her work. Her books are as clean and
fresh and invigorating as a morning in May. If she is not deep or
profound, she stirs in the heart of her reader the noblest impulses;
and whosoever accomplishes this has not written in vain."--_Chicago
Saturday Evening Herald._
