"Princess," said Zabern, glancing at his watch, "your coronation has
been delayed two hours by the action of the duke and the Czar. Your
loyal subjects in the cathedral are beginning to ask whether there is
to be any coronation. Let your Highness resume your place in the
choir, and receive your lawful crown, thus triumphing in the very
presence of the Czar."
The party withdrew from the sacristy, and the ladies entered to aid
the princess in her robing.
As Paul made his appearance in the choir, he was greeted with a cry
which, rolling through the cathedral and penetrating to the sacristy,
caused Barbara's cheek to color with pride and pleasure. For that cry
was--
"LONG LIVE PAUL, PRINCE OF CZERNOVA!"

New and Popular Fiction
IN THE COUNTRY GOD FORGOT
By FRANCES CHARLES. 12mo. 338 pages. $1.50.
Of this original and engrossing tale of the Southwest the _Louisville
Courier-Journal_ says: "Arizona was never more truthfully described
than in this book."
It is essentially a rugged book. The particular woman and child whose
destinies are followed in this story are the wife and son of Bax
Weffold, whose father, old Carl Weffold, has cherished toward him a
lifelong and implacable hatred.--_New York Commercial Advertiser._
A GIRL OF VIRGINIA
By LUCY MEACHAM THRUSTON. Illustrated by Ch. Grunwald. 12mo. 306
pages. $1.50.
Frances Holloway, the daughter of a professor in the University of
Virginia, is as lovable a heroine as any one could wish for. There is
something wonderfully attractive about her,--she is so pretty, proud,
and high-spirited, and, at the same time, so intensely real and human.
It is a pleasure to say that the author of this "love story of the
university" has given us a picture of modern girlhood that goes
straight to the heart and stays there.--_Commercial Advertiser._

=MISTRESS BRENT.= A Story of Lord Baltimore's Colony in 1638.
Illustrated. 12mo. $1.50.
LAFITTE OF LOUISIANA
By MARY DEVEREUX. Illustrated by Harry C. Edwards. 12mo. 427 pages.
$1.50.
The remarkable career of Jean Lafitte during the French Revolution and
the War of 1812, and the strange tie between this so-called "Pirate of
the Gulf" and Napoleon Bonaparte, is the basis of this absorbing and
virile story,--a novel of love and adventure written by a skilled
hand.
This work is one of the most ambitious of its class, and it has in the
introduction of Napoleon as Lafitte's guardian angel a picturesque
feature which makes it of rather unusual interest.--_Philadelphia
Record._
