And so, when her youth had passed, that faithful soul reaped its harvest of joy. "Thus the whirligig of Time brings in its revenges." But Althea's noble revenge had been much patience and much love. THE END. * * * * * By John Strange Winter. (Mrs. Arthur Stannard.) The Peacemakers. "'The Peacemakers' is a novel that has the characteristic merits of the best work of this author; it is a well-told story, good in plot and in character drawing, and with an impressive touch of the tragic, that comes as a surprise. The world of 'John Strange Winter' is usually so bright and happy, its troubles are so bearable and vanish so quickly, that it is a novelty to find the shadow of death falling over it, as in her last story. And yet the tragedy is admirably told."--_Boston Gazette._ Into an Unknown World. "A bright, breezy novel, interesting in plot, with the woman characters admirably drawn, and with a heroine who is charming in her naturalness. The story is told in the simple, unaffected style that marks all Mrs. Stannard's work, and it is a healthy story."--_Boston Saturday Evening Gazette._ A Magnificent Young Man. "It is a story with an original plot, involving a secret marriage, the mysterious disappearance of a bridegroom, and the experiences of a young girl, who refuses to clear her reputation, even to the mother of her unacknowledged husband, until such a time as he shall give permission."--_Boston Beacon._ Every Inch a Soldier. "Of the incidents of the work before us, the plot is highly entertaining, and incidentally we meet the Bishop of Blankhampton, whose matrimonial affairs were ably discussed in a book previously written. It is a very pleasant and readable book, and we are glad to see it."--_Norristown Herald._ Aunt Johnnie. The Other Man's Wife. Only Human. The Truth Tellers. * * * * * By Mrs. Alexander. Barbara: Lady's Maid and Peeress. "'Barbara: Lady's Maid and Peeress,' the latest of Mrs. Alexander's stories, turns on the fortunes of the natural child of an old lord, who serves as lady's maid until the reading of a will shows that she is the real heir to a fortune and a title. The heroine is a sensible girl, and the story is very well told."--_San Francisco Chronicle._ Mrs. Crichton's Creditor. "Mrs. Alexander's novels are decidedly of the higher order. They reflect the lives and sayings of wholesome people, carry a healthy moral, and convey valuable lessons to enlightened readers."--_St. Louis Globe-Democrat._ A Fight with Fate. "This is Mrs. Alexander's best story, and readers of her two previous novels, 'For His Sake' and 'Found Wanting,' will at once recognize this as high praise. It is an English story. The plot is good, is skilfully developed; the dialogue is bright, the situations, many of them, dramatic. On the whole, it is a bright, entertaining novel, and one of the best of the season."--_Boston Advertiser._ A Golden Autumn.
