Fiction continued. 



A Supreme Moment. By Mrs. HAMILTON SYNGE, Author of 

 " The Coming of Sonia." Crown 8vo, cloth. 



"A Supreme Moment" is the story of a brother and sister. Agatha sacrifices herself 

 entirely to her brother, encouraging his weaknesses and accepting his veiled though very 

 real tyranny as her duty. Upon the neighbourhood, well-behaved and self-satisfied, 

 descends a new personality, and it is on the working-out of its effect upon everybody that 

 the motif of the story depends. There is a mystery about the new-comer. She has a 

 disturbing effect upon several people, leading to the breaking of a long standing 

 engagement, and other events. In the stress of an intense moment, a strange experience 

 comes to Agatha, an experience of the spirit piercing through the material ; the 

 explanation of which, whether natural or supernatural, is left to the reader. 



Renunciation. By DOROTHY SUMMERS. Crown 8vo, cbth. 



A love story of the present day. The hero, Dare Thorpe, around whom the chief 

 interest of this story centres, loves the beautiful Lady Iris Ireton, who returns his 

 affection. Lady Iris has always displayed a morbid sensitiveness to any physical defect 

 or deformity, and the unfortunate hero when on the point of realising his dearest hopes, 

 discovers that owing to injuries sustained in an accident, he will eventually become a 

 hopeless cripple. The story leads through to the hero's struggle to live up to his ideal of 

 honour in renouncing all he had hoped for to the unexpected climax with which the book 

 closes. 



Counsels of the Night. 



[RED CLOTH LIBRARY ] 



By LUCAS CLEEVE. Crown 8vo. 



This is a story far removed from the common run of fiction. It takes the reader into 

 the rt-alm of the mysterious, the occult. Laurence Merivale, a young man of about 

 twenty, is persistently haunted by a vivid dream in which he sees a man thrown down a 

 well by another man who bears a remarkable resemblance to his (Laurence's) father. How 

 by means oi this dream a mystery is solved, though not in the way directly suggested by the 

 vision, the reader must be left to find out for himself. The story is worked out with the 

 vividness and the psychological insight which always mark Lucas Cleeve's work. 



A Royal RaSCal. By Major ARTHUR GRIFFITHS. Crown Svo. 

 [RED CLOTH LIBRARY.] 



This is a vivid tale of the Napoleonic era. We follow the hero from the day when, at 

 the age of sixteen, he obtains his commission and has his first experience of an officers' 

 mess ; through a campaign in India where he becomes a prisoner of the redoubtable 

 Tippoo Sahib; to Egypt, where he fights against the invading French army ; to Spain, 

 where he meets and is ruthlessly parted from the lady of his choice ; through all the 

 horrors and vicissitudes of a long imprisonment in French fortresses, among others, " The 

 Place of Tears " ; to Spain again where he unexpectedly meets and rescues his long-lost love 

 at Vittoria, and finally to the field of Waterloo, on which takes place the culminating 

 scene in the exciting military drama of his life. 



Under the Chilterns." 



Driven ! By MARGARET WATSON, Author of 

 Crown Svo. [GREEN CLOTH LIBRARY.] 



This is a page of history as told by the old men and women at the cottage fireside and 

 in the bare wards of the workhouse. It is their life history, and a tale of terror to their
