A romance of the convulsive period of the struggle between the French and English for the possession of North America. The story is one of pure love and heroic adventure, and deals with that fiery fringe of conflict that waved between Nova Scotia and New England. The Expulsion of the Acadians is foreshadowed in these brilliant pages, and the part of the "Black Abbé’s" intrigues in precipitating that catastrophe is shown. *The Heart of the Ancient Wood.* With six illustrations by James L.

Each tale is independent of the others, but the scenes are similar, and in several of them the evil "Black Abbé"," well known from the author’s previous novels, again appears with his savages at his heels—but to be thwarted always by woman’s wit or soldier’s courage. *Earth’s Enigmas.* A new edition, with the addition of three new stories, and ten illustrations by Charles Livingston Bull. Library 12mo, cloth, uncut edges . . . $1.50 "Throughout the volume runs that subtle questioning of the cruel, predatory side of nature which suggests the general title of the book. In certain cases it is the picture of savage nature ravening for food—for death to preserve life; in others it is the secret symbolism of woods and waters prophesying of evils and misadventures to come. All this does not mean, however, that Mr. Roberts is either pessimistic or morbid—it is nature in his books after all, wholesome in her cruel moods as in her tender."—_The New York Independent_. *WORKS OF LILIAN BELL* *Hope Loring.* Illustrated by Frank T. Merrill. Library 12mo, cloth, decorative cover . . . $1.50 "Lilian Bell’s new novel, ’Hope Loring,’ does for the American girl in fiction what Gibson has done for her in art. "Tall, slender, and athletic, fragile-looking, yet with nerves and sinews of steel under the velvet flesh, frank as a boy and tender and beautiful as a woman, free and independent, yet not bold—such is ’Hope Loring,’ by long odds the subtlest study that has yet been made of the American girl."—_Dorothy Dix, in the New York American_.
