"Alive with bristling incident, and has mystery, romance, love, and beauty in bewildering profusion."--_Philadelphia Record._ Three full-page illustrations in color, by Clarence F. Underwood. _12mo. Decorated cloth, $1.50._ THE COLONEL OF THE RED HUZZARS A dashing love-story with a secret at its root, and danger, adventure, and intrigue in every chapter. "So naïvely fresh in its handling, so plausible through its naturalness, that it comes like a mountain-breeze across the far-spreading desert of similar romances."--_Gazette-Times, Pittsburg._ Three full-page illustrations in color, by Clarence F. Underwood. _12mo. Decorated cloth, $1.50._ THE PRINCESS DEHRA A captivating romance in which we meet again the characters of "The Colonel of the Red Huzzars." "There are situations involving the principal characters which are ingenious in conception and cleverly woven into the story by essential and natural sequence, and at these situations the reader feels a desire to continue the story, even if the house be burning."--_Boston Evening Transcript._ Four full-page illustrations in color, by Clarence F. Underwood. _12mo. Decorated cloth, $1.50._ BEATRIX OF CLARE A fascinating story, the scenes of which are laid in England at the time of Richard the Third. The heroine, the Countess of Clare, is a beautiful and charming lady of the court, a protégée of the queen. "Brisk and vivid."--_New York Evening Sun._ "Irresistibly attractive."--_Philadelphia North American._ Four full-page illustrations in color, by Clarence F. Underwood. _12mo. Decorated cloth, $1.50._ * * * * * * [Illustration: "MISS STIRLING, IS SIR EDWARD DANGEROUS, AS WELL AS FASCINATING, OR SIMPLY FASCINATING?"
