sides. Something fluttered above the snow between the white stones on
the hill, where the wind had swept bare places. In a moment she had gone
out and called the nearest of the searchers, who chanced to be her
father, and together they climbed the hill.
Pillowed by the rye knelt Andrea, her eyes turned skyward, a smile upon
her parted lips, while above her the meadowlarks flocked and the
buntings murmured as they made their Christmas feast from Gurth’s sheaf.
“We need not tell her now,” was all that Margaret said.

=THE PRIDE OF JENNICO. Being a Memoir of Captain Basil Jennico.=
“What separates it from most books of its class is its distinction of
manner, its unusual grace of diction, its delicacy of touch, and the
fervent charm of its love passages. It is a very attractive piece of
romantic fiction relying for its effect upon character rather than
incident, and upon vivid dramatic presentation.”—_The Dial._ “A
stirring, brilliant and dashing story.”—_The Outlook._
=THE SECRET ORCHARD. Illustrated by Charles D. Williams.=
The “Secret Orchard” is set in the midst of the ultra modern society.
The scene is in Paris, but most of the characters are English speaking.
The story was dramatized in London, and in it the Kendalls scored a
great theatrical success.
“Artfully contrived and full of romantic charm * * * it possesses
ingenuity of incident, a figurative designation of the unhallowed scenes
in which unlicensed love accomplishes and wrecks faith and
happiness.”—_Athenaeum._
=YOUNG APRIL. With illustrations by A. B. Wenzell.=
“It is everything that a good romance should be, and it carries about it
an air of distinction both rare and delightful.”—_Chicago Tribune._
“With regret one turns to the last page of this delightful novel, so
delicate in its romance, so brilliant in its episodes, so sparkling in
its art, and so exquisite in its diction.”—_Worcester Spy._
=FLOWER O’ THE ORANGE. With frontispiece.=
We have learned to expect from these fertile authors novels graceful in
form, brisk in movement, and romantic in conception. This carries the
reader back to the days of the bewigged and beruffled gallants of the
seventeenth century and tells him of feats of arms and adventures in
love as thrilling and picturesque, yet delicate, as the utmost seeker of
romance may ask.
=MY MERRY ROCKHURST. Illustrated by Arthur E. Becher.=
In the eight stories of a courtier of King Charles Second, which are
here gathered together, the Castles are at their best, reviving all the
fragrant charm of those books, like _The Pride of Jennico_, in which
they first showed an instinct, amounting to genius, for sunny romances.
“The book is absorbing * * * and is as spontaneous in feeling as it is
artistic in execution.”—_New York Tribune._

=THE CATTLE BARON’S DAUGHTER. A Novel. By Harold Bindloss. With
illustrations by David Ericson.=
A story of the fight for the cattle-ranges of the West. Intense interest
is aroused by its pictures of life in the cattle country at that
critical moment of transition when the great tracts of land used for
grazing were taken up by the incoming homesteaders, with the inevitable
result of fierce contest, of passionate emotion on both sides, and of
final triumph of the inevitable tendency of the times.
=WINSTON OF THE PRAIRIE. With illustrations in color by W. Herbert
Dunton.=
A man of upright character, young and clean, but badly worsted in the
battle of life, consents as a desperate resort to impersonate for a
period a man of his own age—scoundrelly in character but of an
aristocratic and moneyed family. The better man finds himself barred
from resuming his old name. How, coming into the other man’s
possessions, he wins the respect of all men, and the love of a
fastidious, delicately nurtured girl, is the thread upon which the story
hangs. It is one of the best novels of the West that has appeared for
years.
= THAT MAINWARING AFFAIR. By A. Maynard Barbour. With illustrations by
E. Plaisted Abbott.=
A novel with a most intricate and carefully unraveled plot. A naturally
probable and excellently developed story and the reader will follow the
fortunes of each character with unabating interest * * * the interest is
keen at the close of the first chapter and increases to the end.
=AT THE TIME APPOINTED. With a frontispiece in colors by J. H.
Marchand.=
The fortunes of a young mining engineer who through an accident loses
his memory and identity. In his new character and under his new name,
the hero lives a new life of struggle and adventure. The volume will be
found highly entertaining by those who appreciate a thoroughly good
story.
