The Mystery of the Clasped Hands: A Novel

Detective and mystery stories; Fiction
“Not only is the plot of the book novel, like all of Anstey’s work,
but he has developed it with rare skill. The rollicking hilarity
and absurdity of the conception are carried off with a gravity and
seriousness that is the very essence of droll fun. The man who
loves to laugh will find ‘The Brass Bottle’ a fountain of
mirth.”--_Brooklyn Eagle_.
The Eagle’s Heart.
A Story of the West. By HAMLIN GARLAND, author of “A Spoil of Office,”
“A Member of the Third House,” “Wayside Courtships,” etc. 12mo. Cloth,
$1.50.
“‘The Eagle’s Heart’ is Mr. Garland’s best work, considered as a
story of sustained interest, strong characters, and exciting
incidents.”--_Cleveland Plain Dealer_.
“Hamlin Garland may be seen at his best in ‘The Eagle’s Heart.’...
He has graphically depicted the wild life on the Western plains;
he has added a symmetrical and intensely interesting character
study of the typical plainsman, and through the whole there runs a
dainty love motive. These elements are combined with artistic
skill.”--_Chicago Tribune_.
“Mr. Garland gives us as true a historical novel as any of the
colonial period or the days of the War for Independence. He
presents the dignity of the life and its service to the nation.
‘The Eagle’s Heart’ is a splendid achievement.”--_New York Mail
and Express_.
The Footsteps of a Throne.
A Romance. By MAX PEMBERTON. Uniform with “Kronstadt” and “The Phantom
Army.” Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
“The reader’s attention is held breathlessly until the last page
has been turned.”--_Boston Journal_.
“The book trade has all at once had a great revival. Quite ten
thousand copies of Mr. Max Pemberton’s new story, ‘Footsteps of a
Throne,’ have already been issued in this country alone. Of
course, this is generally regarded as by far the best story, as
well as one of the most dramatic, the author has yet
written.”--_From a special London cable to the New York Herald_.

Path and Goal.
This latest book shows the constant human interest which characterizes
the work of this sympathetic and charming writer. There is an
entertaining plot, and the backgrounds of the varying scenes of action
are sketched most vividly.
Materfamilias.
“The story is fragrant with the breath of farms, the aroma of the salt
sea, and the even sweeter essence that exhales from the homely virtues,
practiced amid simple surroundings, where family ties are strong, and
where love, loyal and true, reigns as queen.”--_Philadelphia Item_.
A Humble Enterprise.
