time."--_Birmingham Daily Post._
+The Red Symbol+ _By John Ironside_

wholesome, it is one of the most powerful novels we have had
for a long time ... a fine mystery story most excellently
told and holding its reader in its grasp from start to
finish."--_Dublin Daily Express._
"A love story full of thrilling incidents."--_Country Life._

pages, and which keeps its alluring secret until near the
end."--_Glasgow Herald._

+The House of the Whispering Pines+ _By Anna Katharine Green_

a dull page from first to last."--_The Outlook._
