Rivaulx and Carew and Williams took their hats and slipped from the
house, while Bob did what he could to soften things for them.
"I’ll come and see you all very often," he cried. "Good-bye now!"
An hour later, when Titania had the baby upon her capacious lap, and
said how certain she had been the whole time that Bramber was Penelope’s
choice, Bob walked around the garden with the bishop and Lord Bradstock.
"Oh, it’s quite easy to understand," said Bob. "After all she said, you
expected she would marry some outsider, and you see she took the pick of
the basket, and of course was ashamed. Oh, I know Pen."
"You are a wonder, Bob," said Bradstock.
The bishop said that upon adequate reflection he was inclined to agree
with Bradstock.
"Well, Pen’s all right," said Bob.
THE END.

*The Flight of Georgiana*
A ROMANCE OF THE DAYS OF THE YOUNG PRETENDER. By ROBERT NEILSON
STEPHENS, author of "The Bright Face of Danger," "An Enemy to the King,"
"The Mystery of Murray Davenport," etc.
Library 12mo, cloth decorative, illustrated . . . $1.50
Mr. Stephens’s novels all bear the hall-mark of success for his men are
always live, his women are always worthy of their cavaliers, and his
adventures are of the sort to stir the most sluggish blood without
overstepping the bounds of good taste.
The theme of the new novel is one which will give Mr. Stephens splendid
scope for all the powers at his command. The career of "Bonnie Prince
Charlie" was full of romance, intrigue, and adventure; his life was a
series of episodes to delight the soul of a reader of fiction, and Mr.
Stephens is to be congratulated for his selection of such a promising
subject.
*Mrs. Jim and Mrs. Jimmie*
By STEPHEN CONRAD, author of "The Second Mrs. Jim."
Library 12mo, cloth decorative, illustrated . . . $1.50
This new book is in a sense a sequel to "The Second Mrs. Jim," since it
gives further glimpses of that delightful stepmother and her philosophy.
This time, however, she divides the field with "Mrs. Jimmie," who is
quite as attractive in her different way. The book has more plot than
the former volume, a little less philosophy perhaps, but just as much
wholesome fun. In many ways it is a stronger book, and will therefore
take an even firmer hold on the public.
*The Story of Red Fox*
Told by CHARLES G. D. ROBERTS, author of "The Watchers of the Trails,"
"The Kindred of the Wild," "Barbara Ladd," etc.
Library 12mo, cloth decorative, with fifty illustrations and cover
design by Charles Livingston Bull . . . $2.00
Mr. Roberts’s reputation as a scientifically accurate writer, whose
literary skill transforms his animal stories into masterpieces, stands
unrivalled in his particular field.
