=Sword Flashes=; all by F. M. PEACOCK. Price 1/-each, Post Free. “The author writes in an easy, natural style, and gives graphic descriptions of military life abroad, which brings vividly before the eyes the scenes he wishes to depict. The stories abound with adventure, the love incidents are full of pathos, and there is a rich vein of humour running through them.” Captain Peacock has long left behind Mr. Rudyard Kipling and his “Soldiers Three,” and with a little more practice should rival Hawley Smart in depicting military life.—_Madras Mail._ =Strange Case of a Missing Man.= A Romance. By CONWAY CREGAN 1/- =A Circumstantial Case=, told by Sinclair Barton, M.D., and John Cox. By CONWAY CREGAN 1/- “The reader will more than once be tempted to suppose that he is on the right track; but he is always deceived, and in the end the guilt is laid on the shoulders of one whom few, if any, will suspect. The author’s triumph is an uncommon one. Nor must it be forgotten that he has done something more than make an attractive short story; he has pointed out in the most forcible way the danger of accepting circumstantial evidence when unsupported.”—_Yorkshire Post._ =A Left-Handed Murder.= By ANNIE CARRUTHERS, Authoress of “The Pet of the Consulate” 1/- This is a shilling novel that should command a large sale. It is written by Miss Annie Carruthers, and may be said to be quite as good as any of her former productions. The _locale_ of the crime is in France, and the tale is written somewhat after the style of a French novel. =The Black Carnation.= By FERGUS HUME, Author of “The Mystery of a Hansom Cab,” &c., &c. 1/- “The particular crime described in this startling initial chapter was the slaying of a popular and beautiful _prima donna_ by a jealous adorer. A bouquet in which dynamite is concealed is flung at La Mazzucata’s feet, to be picked up, and with fatal enthusiasm, pressed against the fair one’s bosom. It is unnecessary to say more than that the rest of the novelette is worthy of this dramatic opening, and that it has a certain cleverness of its own which deserves recognition, even by those who do not profess to admire the methods of the sensation-storyteller.”—_Court Circular._ =A Midnight Mystery.= By FERGUS HUME 1/- “The author’s clever handling of sensational subjects is again displayed in his new story. The reader’s interest is aroused on the first page by a scene at Victoria Station, and held without a break.”—_Bookseller._ =The White-Eyed Woman.= By ERNEST BOWEN-ROWLANDS 1/-
