The day had come for me to leave Fort Defiance. The great snow
had gone. The whole Confederate army, its commander at its head,
accompanied me as a guard of honor to the end of the valley. Crothers
would guide me across the mountains. When the time came for the others
to turn back, Colonel Hetherill shook my hand again.
"You are a gallant and honest enemy," he said, paying me the highest
compliment he knew.
Grace walked a little farther. Then I took both her hands in mine and
kissed her for the third but not the last time in my life.
The trumpet sounded the recall from the walls of Fort Defiance.
"I will come again," I said.
"But not as an enemy."
"Never as an enemy."
THE END.
The
Sign of the Cross.
BY
WILSON BARRETT.
With Frontispiece. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"Mr. Barrett has treated his subject with reverence and dignity.
The brutal, licentious Nero and his ribald drunken satellites make
an admirable foil to the spiritual Mercia and the other followers
of Christ; and the steadfastness of these last are dominating
notes."--_Philadelphia Evening Bulletin._

THE NEW GREAT LITERARY SUCCESS.
The
Taming of the Jungle.
BY
DR. C. W. DOYLE.
12mo. Cloth, ornamental, $1.00.
"'The Taming of the Jungle' is one of the most striking books of Indian
life that we have seen since Mr. Kipling produced his 'Plain Tales
from the Hills,' and it does not suffer by comparison with the work
that made Mr. Kipling famous. Indeed, if Dr. Doyle had been first in
the field we venture to think that Mr. Kipling's work would have been
adjudged less good than this later effort."--_New York Literature._
