=The Road to Paris.=
By ROBERT NEILSON STEPHENS, author of "An Enemy to the King," "The
Continental Dragoon," etc. Illustrated by H. C. Edwards.
1 vol., library 12mo, cloth =$1.50=
An historical romance, being an account of the life of an
American gentleman adventurer of Jacobite ancestry, whose family
early settled in the colony of Pennsylvania. The scene shifts
from the unsettled forests of the then West to Philadelphia, New
York, London, Paris, and, in fact, wherever a love of adventure
and a roving fancy can lead a soldier of fortune. The story is
written in Mr. Stephens's best style, and is of absorbing
interest.
=Rose a Charlitte.=
An Acadien Romance. By MARSHALL SAUNDERS, author of "Beautiful
Joe," etc. Illustrated by H. De M. Young.
1 vol., library 12 mo, cloth =$1.50=
In this novel, the scene of which is laid principally in the land
of Evangeline, Marshall Saunders has made a departure from the
style of her earlier successes. The historical and descriptive
setting of the novel is accurate, the plot is well conceived and
executed, the characters are drawn with a firm and delightful
touch, and the fortunes of the heroine, Rose a Charlitte, a
descendant of an old Acadien family, will be followed with
eagerness by the author's host of admirers.
=Bobbie McDuff.=
By CLINTON ROSS, author of "The Scarlet Coat," "Zuleika," etc.
Illustrated by B. West Clinedinst.
1 vol., large 16mo, cloth =$1.00=
Clinton Ross is well known as one of the most promising of recent
American writers of fiction, and in the description of the
adventures of his latest hero, Bobbie McDuff, he has repeated his
earlier successes. Mr. Ross has made good use of the wealth of
material at his command. New York furnishes him the hero, sunny
Italy a heroine, grim Russia the villain of the story, while the
requirements of the exciting plot shift the scene from Paris to
New York, and back again to a remote, almost feudal villa on the
southern coast of Italy.

A Romance of the Reign of Queen Anne. By JULIA C. R. DORR, author
of "A Cathedral Pilgrimage," etc. Illustrated by Frank T. Merrill.
