fiction.”

=THE THIRD CIRCLE.= Crown 8vo. 6/-
_Morning Post._—“As a sketch by a great artist often reveals to
the amateur more of his power and skill than a large finished
work in which the effect is concealed, so in these virile little
studies we are made to realise quite clearly what powers of
observation and what a keen eye for effective incident Mr.
Norris had.”
_Spectator._—“A series of remarkable sketches and short stories
by the late Mr. Frank Norris . . . well worth reading.”

This book is distinctly the outcome of the latest “intellectual”
movement in novel-writing. The hero, Hawkins, is an African
explorer. During a holiday in England he falls in love with and
captivates Caroline Blackwood, a woman of strong personality.
Circumstances prevent him from entering upon a formal
engagement: and he departs again for Africa, without proposing
marriage. Caroline and Hawkins correspond fitfully for some
time; but then a startling combination of events causes Hawkins
to penetrate further and further into the interior; a native
village is burned, and a report, based apparently upon fact is
circulated of his death. Not until seven months have elapsed is
he able to return to England. He finds Caroline married to a man
who has found her money useful. Here the story, strong and
moving throughout, moves steadily to the close, describing
delicately and analytically the soul conflict of a man and a
woman, sundered and separate, with a yearning for each other’s
love.
