Governesses -- Fiction; Love stories; New England -- Fiction; Young women -- Fiction
By T. H. TYNDALE. The author here introduces us to a wealthy Southern
family. The favorite daughter loves an alleged Mexican, Don Cosme,
who is proven to have colored blood in his veins. The scene of the
girl spurning him at the altar is very impressive and dramatic. It
is an unsavory incident, but one fraught with significance. There is
unlimited food for thought throughout the book, which should
especially appeal to Southerners. The essential idea of the work is
treated with great force and fulness. Cloth bound.

full of action, it is dramatic and will hold the reader’s attention
to the end. Cloth bound.

THE SACRIFICE OF SILENCE.
By EDOUARD ROD. Translated by JOHN W. HARDING. M. Rod shows, with
consummate art and in two widely contrasting examples, that silence
under certain conditions constitutes a heroic sacrifice, so generous
in its abnegation, and in one case, in which the unblemished
reputation of a wife and mother is involved, so unflinchingly
steadfast, as to impart a character of nobleness and grandeur to the
sin of prohibited love and its inevitable accompaniments, lying,
deceit and hypocrisy. Cloth bound, gilt top.
1.50
A PRINCESS OF VASCOVY.
By JOHN OXENHAM. Author of “God’s Prisoner.” A story that will win
thousands of admirers. It is an artistic conception; a true romance,
which has about it a quality of real life. It is a dramatic tale
equal in many respects to the “Prisoner of Zenda,” and fully as
interesting. Cloth bound, gilt top.
