"And I want to tell you," said Miss Cogbill, turning to Carrington,
"that you've managed this affair very well; and as I'm in want of a
likely young man as my business agent, if you call on me to-morrow in
town, we'll see if we can't find something more profitable for you to do
than hunting up stray honeymooners."
"Say!" interjected the graceless Richard, who was far from pleased at
the turn affairs had taken--"Say, where do I come in?"
"Young man," said Aunt Eliza, turning on him like a flash, "did you buy
a return ticket to America?"
"Yes, but----"
"Well, then," she interrupted, "you use it, the first chance you get.
And as for you," addressing the two married couples, "the sooner you
start for Melton Court the better; and don't let me hear of your being
lost again."
"Aren't you coming with us, Miss Cogbill?" asked Scarsdale.
"The lawyer and I," replied that lady, "are the only two responsible
persons in this crowd, and we'll stay right here and look after--Her
Ladyship's Elephant."

MOLLY MAKE-BELIEVE
By ELEANOR HALLOWEL ABBOTT
A New Novel
Was that boy a fool? Or did he behave a trifle imprudently in trying
circumstances? It is difficult to say till you know Molly, who is
described by the press as "one of the most lovable, fascinating and
wholly adorable little heroines whose acquaintance any man has made for
years." One thing is certain, no sooner do you make Molly's acquaintance
than you introduce her to all your friends.
THE WEAVERS
By Sir GILBERT PARKER
Author of "The Ladder of Swords," etc.
Sir Gilbert Parker is one of our finest romance writers of the present
day. This is a story of Egypt--full of rich colour, brilliant flowing
descriptions. It has the flavour of the Desert, the Nile and the
indefinable sense of immortality that belongs to the land of the
Pharaohs.
TOTO
By H. DE VERE STACPOOLE
Author of "The Blue Lagoon," etc.
Written with that _verve_ and wonderfully infectious humour which is
characteristic of this author. THE OUTLOOK says: "That rare and
delightful thing, a French novel written in English."
