TOURMALIN'S TIME CHEQUES.

By F. Anstey, author of "Vice Versâ," "The Giant's Robe," etc.

"Sets a handsome example for the 'Summer Series,' with its neat and portable style of half cloth binding and good paper and typography...."—Brooklyn Eagle.

"The author's ingenuity has never been more conspicuous.... The story is quite equal to 'Vice Versâ' and 'The Tinted Venus'—many will say it is better than either."—Philadelphia Bulletin.

FROM SHADOW TO SUNLIGHT.

By the Marquis of Lorne.

"In these days of princely criticism—that is to say, criticism of princes—it is refreshing to meet a really good bit of aristocratic literary work, albeit the author is only a prince-in-law.... The theme chosen by the Marquis makes his story attractive to Americans."—Chicago Tribune.

"A charming book."—Cincinnati Enquirer.
