The Ways of Life: Two Stories
Oliphant, Mrs. (Margaret)
Fiction
There was a tear in the old lawyer’s eye. Perhaps he understood it best
of the three, though the other two were wife and son. Fred’s statement
that the drowned man was a relation made it possible to lay him in the
Yalton vault after all--his last and rightful home. Who the other was,
who had received that sad hospitality in the name of Robert Dalyell of
Yalton, they never knew, nor was it necessary to inquire.
Somehow, however, there was no more question of Mrs. Dalyell’s marriage.
Neither bride or bridegroom ever spoke of it again. And Mr. Wedderburn
resumed something of the old easy relations after a while, and presided
at Susie’s marriage, and was the best friend of the house, as he had
always been. It was a conclusion which on the whole they all felt to be
the best.
THE END.

Stories of College Life
THE UNIVERSITY SERIES
=I.= =Harvard Stories.=--Sketches of the Undergraduate.
By W. K. POST. Fifteenth edition. 12°, paper,
50 cts.; cloth $1.00
“Mr. Post’s manner of telling these tales is in its way inimitable.
The atmosphere of the book in its relation to the localities where
the scenes are laid is well-nigh perfect. The different types of
undergraduates are clearly drawn, and there is a dramatic element
in most of the stories that is very welcome. It goes without saying
that Harvard men will find keen pleasure in this volume, while for
those who desire a faithful picture of certain phases of American
student life it offers a noteworthy fund of instruction and
entertainment.”--_Literary News._
=II.= =Yale Yarns.=--By J. S. WOOD. Fifth edition.
Illustrated. 12° $1.00
“This delightful little book will be read with intense interest by
all Yale men.”--_New Haven Eve. Leader._
“The Yale atmosphere is wonderfully reproduced in some of the
sketches, and very realistic pictures are drawn, particularly of
the old ‘fence’ and the ‘old brick row.’”--_Boston Times._
“College days are regarded by most educated men as the cream of
their lives, sweet with excellent flavor. They are not dull and
tame even, to the most devoted student, and this is a volume filled
with the pure cream of such existence, and many ‘a college joke to
cure the dumps’ is given. It is a bright, realistic picture of
college life, told in an easy conversational, or descriptive style,
and cannot fail to genuinely interest the reader who has the
slightest appreciation of humor. The volume is illustrated and is
just the book for an idle or a lonely hour.”--_Los Angeles Times._
=The Babe=, =B.A.= The Uneventful History of a
Young Gentleman in Cambridge University. By
EDWARD F. BENSON, author of “Dodo,” etc.
