Of this work, we need only say that it is an old-fashioned "Clark Russell story."
A Sailor's Sweetheart
By W. CLARK RUSSELL, author of "An Ocean Free Lance," etc. Illustrated by J. STEEPLE DAVIS. 12mo, cloth, $1.25; paper, 50 cents.
We have given this superb sea classic a handsome dress, in keeping with its character, and recommend it to the public as an unusually interesting story.
Basile the Jester
(Second Edition). A Romance of the Days of Mary Queen of Scots. 12mo, Netherland Library, paper, 50 cents; cloth, $1.25. By J. E. MUDDOCK, author of "The Dead Man's Secret," "Maid Marian and Robin Hood," "For God and The Czar," "Lochinvar," etc. Illustrations by STANLEY WOOD and others.
The author has taken pains to represent truthfully and effectively the life and times of Mary, Queen of Scots, the Court intrigues of the period, the plots and counterplots of the nobles. The book is not a prosy history with a little conversation added, but a stirring novel full of action, and will undoubtedly rank as one of Mr. Muddock's most popular works.
A Bride's Experiment
(Second edition). By CHAS. J. MANSFORD, author of "Shafts from an Eastern Quiver," "Bully, Fag and Hero," etc. Holland Library, paper, 50 cents; cloth, $1.00.
This strong story will prove to be a welcome addition to our dainty Holland Library. Mr. Mansford is one of the best known contributors to the Strand Magazine.
