(16) * * * * * *Blackie & Son’s Story Books for Girls* *ETHEL F. HEDDLE* *A Mystery of St. Rule’s.* With 8 Illustrations by G. DEMAIN HAMMOND, R.I. 6s. _Illustrated Edition_. "The author has been amazingly successful in keeping her secret almost to the end. Yet the mystery attending a stolen diamond of great value is so skilfully handled that several perfectly innocent persons seem all but hopelessly identified with the disappearance of the gem. Cleverly, however, as this aspect of the story has been managed, it has other sources of strength."--_Scotsman_. "The chief interest ... lies in the fascinating young adventuress, who finds a temporary nest in the old professor’s family, and wins all hearts in St. Rules by her beauty and her sweetness."--_Morning Leader_. "Into the dignified atmosphere of a northerly academic town, Miss Ethel Heddle introduces a coil of events worthy of Wilkie Collins."--_Manchester Guardian_. *KATHARINE TYNAN* Girl of Galway.
