A series of exciting stories which reveal the English Secret Service as
it really is: silent, unsleeping, and supremely competent. It shows how
the Secret Service leaves nothing to chance, how it watches and waits,
how it plays enemy agents upon strings so long as they are useful, and
grabs them when they have ceased to be useful or have become dangerous.
*MARY OF THE WINDS*
*AND OTHER TALES.*
*BY ENEDEEN.*
This is a volume of short stories by a lady of distinction, who has
lived long in the south-west of Ireland and knows the people well. Most
of the stories embody the strange mystical traditions of the race, and
are told as nearly as possible in the language in which they are current
among the people to-day.
*MISS GASCOIGNE.*
*BY KATHARINE TYNAN,*
Author of "The Honourable Molly," "Kit," etc.
"Miss Gascoigne" is a love-story in the setting of England as she was in
the days of Peace and will not be again. Miss Gascoigne is the Lady of
the Manor, a fresh and fair open-air lady. She has, two lovers, a fine
English gentleman, and a self-made man, no less a gentleman in
essentials, who has returned from Colonial life in South Africa. The
reader will find out for himself which she chooses. The book is mainly
romantic comedy, and it has been the writer's endeavour not to allow a
single dark shadow to fall upon it.
*SIR ISUMBRAS AT THE FORD.*
*BY D. K. BROSTER,*
Joint Author of "Chantemerle," "The Vision Splendid," etc.
In the year 1795, when England was equipping an expedition of French
emigres to help (Royalist) France, a hardy Chouan leader, unsentimental
and not over-young, was unexpectedly led to risk his life for a little
Franco-Scottish boy of his acquaintance, kidnapped by two treacherous
old French ladies, and for a woman who had come near to depriving him of
it already. Engulfed in the tragic failure of the expedition at
Quiberon, himself both lost and saved through his past knight-errantry,
he survived to be repaid, in unforseen ways, by each of his debtors.
Over the story--which borrows its title from Millais' well-known
picture--blows the wind of the narrow seas, whereon, indeed, some of its
action passes, and where, in a storm, it comes to an end.
*STEP-SONS OF FRANCE.*
*By Captain P. C. WREN,*
Author of "The Wages of Virtue," etc.
True tales of the French Foreign Legion in which appear some of the
characters depicted in "The Wages of Virtue." Not only are the scenes
laid in Algeria, but in those other countries in which the flag of the
Legion flies and the bones of so many Legionaries lie.
*THE BLACK OFFICE*
*AND OTHER CHAPTERS OF ROMANCE.*
*BY AGNES and EGERTON CASTLE,*
Authors of "Rose of the World," "The Pride of Jennico," etc.
"Agnes and Egerton Castle have certainly been well advised about their
sub-title to 'The Black Office and Other Chapters of Romance,' for that
is precisely what the tales are, and excellently romantic and thrilling
chapters, too."--_Punch_.
*HAWK OF THE DESERT.*
*By G. E. MITTON,*
Author of "In the Grip of the Wild Wa," etc.
The scene is laid in the vast Atbai desert of the Egyptian Sudan. The
very breath of the desert is in the book; but the scenery comes second
to the story which is concerned with a knot of half-a-dozen people,
drawn together by the threads of fate, who play out their parts in a
thrilling drama.
*MARTIE THE UNCONQUERED.*
*BY KATHLEEN NORRIS,*
Author of "The Story of Julia Page," "The Heart of Rachael," etc.
With the publication of "Martie the Unconquered," Mrs. Morris completes
her trilogy of remarkable heroines of which the first was Julia Page and
the second Rachael. In "Martie" Mrs. Norris takes a different sort of
girl.
The story of how Martie found herself embraces problems that confront
not only one woman, but thousands, and is told in a way to give the
courage to go on as Martie did and emerge, like her, unconquered.
*LONG LIVE THE KING.*
*By Mrs. MARY ROBERTS RINEHART,*
Author of "K," etc.
A romantic story of adventure, love and intrigue, centreing around the
Crown Prince in a troubled kingdom. Not for Sale in Canada.
*THE WEIRD O' THE POOL.*
*BY ALEXANDER STUART.*
"This Scottish story of rural life in the eighteen-forties is a very
highly finished piece of work. We do not make the observation lightly
when we say that it reminds us of Sir Walter Scott."--_The Outlook_.
