The House Opposite
A Mystery By ELIZABETH KENT
Author of "Who?"
"It is a very hotbed of mystery, and everything and everybody connected with it arouses curiosity.... The plot is unusually puzzling and the author has been successful in producing a really admirable work. The climax is highly sensational and unexpected, ingeniously leading the reader from one guess to another, and finally culminating in a remarkable confession."—N. Y. Journal.

The scene is laid in Ireland and in France, the time is the William of Orange period, and deals with the most cruel persecution against the Catholics of Ireland.
The Way of an Eagle
By E. M. Dell
Frontispiece in Color by John Cassel
"A born teller of stories. She certainly has the right stuff in her."—London Standard.
"In these days of overmuch involved plot and diction in the writing of novels, a book like this brings a sense of refreshment, as much by the virility and directness of its style as by the interest of the story it tells.... The human interest of the book is absorbing. The descriptions of life in India and England are delightful.... But it is the intense humanity of the story—above all, that of its dominating character, Nick Ratcliffe, that will win for it a swift appreciation."—Boston Transcript.
"Well written, wholesome, overflowing with sentiment, yet never mawkish. Lovers of good adventure will enjoy its varied excitement, while the frankly romantic will peruse its pages with joy."—Chicago Record-Herald.
Through the Postern Gate
A Romance in Seven Days. (Under the Mulberry Tree.)
By Florence L. Barclay
Author of "The Rosary," "The Mistress of Shenstone," "The Following of the Star."
"A masterpiece."—Phila. Ledger
"The well-known author of 'The Rosary' has not sought problems to solve nor social conditions to arraign in her latest book, but has been satisfied to tell a sweet and appealing love-story in a wholesome, simple way.... There is nothing startling nor involved in the plot, and yet there is just enough element of doubt in the story to stimulate interest and curiosity. The book will warm the heart with its sweet and straightforward story of life and love in a romantic setting."—The Literary Digest.
Nearly One Million copies of Mrs. Barclay's popular stories have now been printed.
