And Imogene mused on, sinking deeper and deeper into melancholy, till the tears, which for so long a time had been dried at their source, welled up to her eyes and fell slowly down her cheeks. Their touch seemed to rouse her. Starting erect, she looked quickly around as if to see if anybody was observing her. But the room seems quite empty, and she is about to sink back again with a sigh when her eyes fall on the door-way and she becomes transfixed. A sturdy form is standing there! A manly, eager form in whose beaming eyes and tender smile shine a love and a purpose which open out before her quite a different future from that which her fancy had been so ruthlessly picturing. THE END. PUBLICATIONS OF G. P. PUTNAM'S SONS. =THE LEAVENWORTH CASE.= A Lawyer's Story. By ANNA KATHERINE GREEN. 16mo, paper, 60 cents; cloth, $1.00. "In one respect at least, 'The Leavenworth Case' is the peer of Gaboriau's best efforts--the wonderful skill with which the author draws the reader, now this way, now that, in the search for the perpetrator of the mysterious crime with which the story begins, and deludes him until he reaches almost the last page."--_New Haven Palladium._ "Wilkie Collins, in his best period, never invented a more ingeniously constructed plot, nor held the reader in such suspense until the final denouement. The most blase novel-reader will be unable to put aside 'The Leavenworth Case' until he has read the last sentence and mastered the mystery which has baffled him from the beginning."--_N. Y. Express._ "She has proved herself as well able to write an interesting story of mysterious crime as any man living."--_The Academy, (London.)_ "She has worked up a _cause celebre_ with a fertility of device and ingenuity of treatment hardly second to Wilkie Collins or Edgar Allen Poe."--_Christian Union._ "We have read no story for a long time which has had so much of the Wilkie Collins, and Edgar Allen Poe flavor of reality in the telling."--_Congregationalist._ "We do not propose to give the plot of the work, however, but merely to say that it is one of the most ingenious of the kind we have ever read."--_Buffalo Express._ "This is the sort of book to be eagerly read and thoroughly enjoyed."--_St. Paul Pioneer._ "A new novel by a new writer, which enchains our attention from the very first sentence of the first page, is a pleasant surprise. * * * Told with a force and power that indicate great dramatic talent in the writer."--_St. Louis Post._ "Its interest is undoubted and it is thoroughly well sustained."--_N. Y. Evening Post._
