“How Raffles kidnapped the money lender, cracked a safe, eluded the
police, and otherwise disported himself, make up a story as interesting

find it difficult to lay the book down after taking it up.”—_New York
Sun._
STINGAREE
Illustrated. 12mo. $1.50
“The exploits of Stingaree are marvellous, undoubtedly, yet they have
about them an air of plausibility—even of probability.”—_Boston
Transcript._
THE ROGUE’S MARCH
12mo. $1.50
“Mr. Hornung has succeeded admirably in his object; his Australian
scenes are a veritable nightmare; they sear the imagination, and it will
be some time before we get Hookey Simpson, the clank of the chains, and
the hero’s degradation off our mind.”—_London Saturday Review._
MY LORD DUKE
12mo. $1.25
“It is pleasant to turn to a real story by a real story writer. Such is
'My Lord Duke’.... Its story is its own both in plot and
characterization. It is a capital little novel.”—_The Nation._
NO HERO
12mo. $1.25
“A clever, fresh, well-told story with more than the usual measure of
art in its telling.”—_Detroit Free Press._

human.”—_San Francisco Argonaut._

Record-Herald._
YOUNG BLOOD
12mo. $1.25

conception of him is already a distinction. He is an adventurer of
genius, but not built on the usual lines.”—_The Bookman._
SOME PERSONS UNKNOWN
12mo. $1.25
“The dramatic and tragic aspects of Australian life are treated by Mr.
Hornung with that happy union of vigor and sympathy which has stood him
in such good stead in his earlier novels.”—_London Spectator._
