Cynthia-of-the-Minute

By LOUIS JOSEPH VANCE

On a certain sultry morning, say as lately as last summer, there were residing in New York, among four and a half million other people, four individuals, who were strangers to each other, and within two days they are together on an outward-bound steamship. And what a voyage that is! What a drama of adventure and sudden death, of secret treachery and unexpected heroism, of love-making and villainy, right to the deplorable words, "The End!"

MAKE-BELIEVE

By Eleanor Hallowell Abbott

"One man, one girl, and then another girl-that is all. But there is a rare charm in the telling.

"Miss Abbott has her own inimitable style, as those who have found her occasional stories in the magazine are aware.

"And then the Molly who is introduced to us is about as winsome a figure as one ever finds flitting across the pages of print. . . . That most of it is impossible is one of its charms, for it is

A STORY OF LOVE'S FAIRY-LAND

where things do not happen as they do in the world which is the world of all of us,' but as the heart eternally wishes them to happen."

Miss Livingston's Companion

By Mary Dillon

Author of "The Rose of Old St. Louis," "In Old
Bellaire," etc.

Sir Lionel, a gallant young Englishman, and "Mademoiselle Desloge," of rare charm and beauty, play the chief parts in this dramatic and picturesque comedy; and Alexander Hamilton, Robert Fulton, Washington Irving, Gouverneur Morris, and Aaron Burr move through its delightful pages.

The setting is old New York and its near-by country homes, with glimpses of the Indian wilderness and of England.

It is the old, old-yet eternally new-story of young life and young love, with a pretty touch of mystery which keeps the reader guessing to the end; and Mary Dillon tells it with the sympathy and color of an artist. The eight full-page illustrations by E. A. Furman are unusually

attractive.

12mo, 434 pages. Price, $1.30 net; postage, 13 cents.

"The age-old parable of the struggle between good and evil, light
and darkness, strength and weakness. . . . Mr. Hichens gives it a
new turn, an ultra-modern setting."

"Mr. Hichens handles this theme with perfect art. From
beginning to end the interest accumulates."

"Told with the consummate art of a Hichens, . . . gripping the
reader's attention and possessing the same sort of thrill to be re-
called in Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.'"
