Two days afterwards Catherine came up towards evening onto the deck of
the White Star liner on which she was travelling. The sun had just sunk,
but in the east the crescent moon had risen, while in the west, whither
she was journeying, there was still the after-glow of sunset. She was
leaving the east, where the moon was, but she was moving towards that
other light. And she was content that it should be so. She would not
have had anything different. The west, too, where she was going, had
meant so much to Thurso; it had meant all to him. It was easier to weigh
the moon than to weigh the veiled light of the sunken sun. She had
renounced, blindly, it might be; but if for her, too, in the west, in

Latest Volumes.--June 1907.
=The Far Horizon.= By LUCAS MALET (MRS. MARY ST. LEGER HARRISON). 2
vols.--3943/44.
"The Far Horizon" treats of those things that do not lie on the surface.
Without being in any sense a religious problem, it is essentially
religious in its nature. Human nature--both male and female--is closely
studied and depicted with consummate art; the pathos of the _dénouement_
is very telling.
=The Modern Way.= By MRS. W. K. CLIFFORD, 1 vol.--3945.
A collection of eight clever short stories alternately gay and pathetic.
Mrs. Clifford's pathos, especially, is of a quite exceptionally fine
order, and these tales will appeal to every reader.
=The Eight Guests.= By PERCY WHITE. 2 vols.--3946/47.
An ironical skit on the mammon-worshipping proclivities of modern
society, in which several fair representatives of the smart set receive
a wholesome lesson.
=Harry and Ursula.= By W. E. NORRIS. 1 vol.--3948.
A fine study in human nature, in which the struggle between love and
duty leads to a touching ending and original situations.
=The Motormaniacs.= By LLOYD OSBOURNE. 1 v.--3949.
Four delightfully humorous stories of motoring and motorists. A
thoroughly breezy and original volume of high spirits.
=Benita.= By H. RIDER HAGGARD, 1 vol.--3950.
A new African story of buried treasure, fighting, and the supernatural,
by the author of "She" and "King Solomon's Mines."
=The Seven Lamps of Architecture.= By JOHN RUSKIN. (With Illustr.) 1
vol.--3951.
This is now the fourth of Ruskin's famous works to appear in the
Tauchnitz Edition and perhaps the best known of them all out of England.
The present volume is reprinted from the 1880 revised copyright edition,
which alone gives the text as finally desired by the author himself.
=The Pointing Finger.= By "RITA." 1 vol.--3952.
Which was the real Lord Edensore will remain a puzzle to the reader
almost to the end. This whole romance of high life abounds in remarkable
situations.
=The Sinews of War.= By EDEN PHILLPOTTS & ARNOLD BENNETT, 1 vol.--3953.
