6 METHUEN'S POPULAR NOVELS 



HAUNTING SHADOWS ; or, The House 

 of Terror 



By M. F. HUTCHINSON. Second Edition. Crown 



8vo, 6s. 



An English girl, brought up under harsh surroundings, considers 

 that opportunity suddenly opens the doors of Life. But these doors 

 swing back to the accompaniment of sinister and terrible things. 

 The very threshold of the new life is a place of terror. A harsh and 

 inexorable fate forces her reluctant feet along a difficult way, where it 

 seems as if none of the joys of existence can lighten the darkness. 

 The story shows with what results to herself and others Elaine 

 Westcourt became an inmate of the ' House of Terror.' 



THE FOOL IN CHRIST 



By GERHART HAUPTMANN. Crown 8vo, 6s. 



A translation of Hauptmann's most wonderful novel a work that 

 attempts to place the living human Christ before sophisticated twentieth- 

 century eyes. Whatever other effect it may have, the book cannot 

 fail to cause discussion. In Quint, a figure at once pathetic and inspir- 

 ing, the author has drawn a character whose divine charm should 

 be felt by every reader. 



A WOMAN IN THE LIMELIGHT 



By CHARLES GLEIG, Author of ' The Nancy Manoeuvres.' 

 Crown 8vo, 6s. 



A Woman in the Limelight presents candidly a typical actress of 

 the Musical Comedy Stage, treating of her career and her love affairs 

 with a realism that is convincing, but free of offence. The heroine 

 allures and for a long time retains the devotion and affection of a 

 typical solitary Londoner, who is not less devoted to the ban motif ; 

 but the inevitable break occurs. There is plenty of humour and of 

 first-hand knowledge in this study of upper Bohemian life of to-day, 

 and the characters are vividly drawn. 



A WILDERNESS WOOING 



By W. VICTOR COOK, Author of ' Anton of the Alps.' 



Second Edition. Crown 8vo, 6s. 



A thrilling story of the early French-Canadian pioneers, and the 

 romantic adventures of a young heir to an English earldom. The 

 novel, which is full of excitement and dramatic incident, presents a 

 series of vivid pictures of the days when the great pathfinder La Salle 

 was carrying the lilies of France at utmost hazard into the Western 

 wilds. The love interest is strong, and attractively handled, and even 

 such strange-seeming affairs as the ' Ship of Women ' and the marriage 

 market at Quebec have their historical sanction. 



NANCE OF MANCHESTER 



By ORME AGNUS, Author of 'Sarah Tuldon's Lovers.' 

 Second Edition. Crown 8vo, 6s.
