A dramatic romance of the French Revolution and the Émigré Nobles. The "Scarlet Pimpernel" was the chief of a daring band of young Englishmen leagued together to rescue members of the French nobility from the Terrorists of France. The identity of the brilliant and resourceful leader is sacredly guarded by his followers and eagerly sought by the agents of the French Revolutionary Government. Scenes of intrigue, danger, and devotion, follow close one upon another. The heroine is a charming, fearless woman who in the end shares the honors with the "Scarlet Pimpernel." In a stage version prepared by the author _The Scarlet Pimpernel_ was one of the dramatic successes of the last London season, Mr. Fred Terry and Miss Julia Neilson acting the leading rôles. "Something distinctly out of the common, well conceived, vividly told, and stirring from start to finish."--_London Telegraph._ * * * * * At the Sign of The Jack o' Lantern _By_ MYRTLE REED Author of "Lavender and Old Lace," "The Master's Violin," etc. A genial story of the adventures of a New York newspaper man and his young wife, who, at the end of their honeymoon, go to an unexplored heirloom in the shape of a peculiar old house, where many strange and amusing things happen. There is a mystery in the house, as well as a significant portrait of an uncanny cat. A vein of delicate humor, and a homely philosophy runs through the story. "Miss Reed is delightfully witty, delightfully humorous, delightfully cynical, delightfully sane, and above all, delightfully spontaneous."--_Philadelphia Telegraph._ * * * * * Love Alone is Lord _By_ F. Frankfort Moore _Author of "The Jessamy Bride," etc._ This latest story by the author of _The Jessamy Bride_ has for its theme the only really ideal love affair in the romantic life of Lord Byron. The story opens during the poet's boyhood and tells of his early devotion to his cousin, Mary Chaworth. Mr. Moore has followed history very closely, and his descriptions of London society when Byron was the rage are as accurate as they are dramatic. Lady Caroline Lamb figures prominently in the story, but the heroine continues to be Byron's early love, Mary Chaworth. His attachment for his cousin was the strongest and most enduring of his life, and it failed of realization only by the narrowest of chances. _A Fascinating Romance_ End of Project Gutenberg's A Lost Cause, by Cyril Arthur Edward Ranger Gull
