What Necessity Knows Part 61

And although, as he said them, his hand was clenched so that his fingers cut the palm, yet, because he gave thanks, Robert Trenholme was nearer than he knew to being a holy man.

THE END.

THE ONE GOOD GUEST.

A NOVEL. By L.B. Walford

"It is a delightful picture of life at an English estate, which is presided over by a young 'Squire' and his young sister. Their experiences are cleverly told, and the complications which arise are amusing and interesting. There are many humorous touches, too, which add no slight strength to the story."--BOSTON TIMES.

"A charming little social comedy, permeated with a refinement of spontaneous humor and brilliant with touches of shrewd and searching satire."--BOSTON BEACON.

"The story is bright, amusing, full of interest and incident, and the characters are admirably drawn. Every reader will recognize a friend or acquaintance in some of the people here portrayed. Every one will wish he could have been a guest at Duckhill Manor, and will hope that the author has more stories to tell."--PUBLIC OPINION.

"A natural, amusing, kindly tale, told with great skill. The characters are delightfully human, the individuality well caught and preserved, the quaint humor lightens every page, and a simple delicacy and tenderness complete an excellent specimen of story telling."--PROVIDENCE JOURNAL.

"For neat little excursions into English social life, and that of the best, commend us to the writer of 'The One Good Guest,'"--N.Y. TIMES.

"The story is bright, amusing, full of interest and incident, and the characters are admirably drawn. Every reader will recognize a friend or acquaintance in some of the people here portrayed. Every one will wish he could have been a guest at Duckhill Manor, and will hope that the author has more stories to tell."--PORTLAND OREGONIAN.

BEGGARS ALL.

A NOVEL. By Miss L. Dougall.

"This is one of the strongest as well as most original romances of the year.... The plot is extraordinary.... The close of the story is powerful and natural.... A masterpiece of restrained and legitimate dramatic fiction."--LITERARY WORLD.

"To say that 'Beggars All' is a remarkable novel is to put the case mildly indeed, for it is one of the most original, discerning, and thoroughly philosophical presentations of character that has appeared in English for many a day.... Emphatically a novel that thoughtful people ought to read ... the perusal of it will by many be reckoned among the intellectual experiences that are not easily forgotten."--BOSTON BEACON.

"A story of thrilling interest."--HOME JOURNAL.

"A very unusual quality of novel. It is written with ability; it tells a strong story with elaborate a.n.a.lysis of character and motive ... it is of decided interest and worth reading."--COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER, N.Y.

"It is more than a story for mere summer reading, but deserves a permanent place among the best works of modern fiction. The author has struck a vein of originality purely her own.... It is tragic, pathetic, humerous by turns.... Miss Dougall has, in fact, scored a great success.

Her book is artistic, realistic, intensely dramatic--in fact, one of the novels of the year."--BOSTON TRAVELLER.

"'Beggars-All' is a n.o.ble work of art, but is also something more and something better. It is a book with a soul in it, and in a sense, therefore, it may be described as an inspired work. The inspiration of genius may or may not he lacking to it, but the inspiration of a pure and beautiful spirituality pervades it completely ... the characters are truthfully and powerfully drawn, the situations finely imagined, and the story profoundly interesting."--CHICAGO TRIBUNE.

KEITH DERAMORE.

A NOVEL. By the Author of "Miss Molly."

"One of the strongest novels for the year.... A book of absorbing and sustained interest, full of those touches of pathos, gusts of pa.s.sion, and quick glimpses into the very hearts of men and women which are a necessary equipment of any great writer of fiction."--STAR.

"A story with originality of plot and a number of interesting and skillfully drawn characters.... Well worthy of a careful perusal."--BOSTON BEACON.

"The few important characters introduced are very clearly and well drawn; one is a quite unusual type and reveals a good deal of power in the author. It is a live story of more than ordinary interest."--REVIEW OF REVIEWS.

"A novel of quiet but distinct force and of marked refinement in manner.

The few characters in 'Keith Deramore' are clearly and delicately drawn, and the slight plot is well sustained."--CHRISTIAN UNION.

"The author of 'Miss Molly' shall have her reward in the reception of 'Keith Deramore.' If it is not popular there is no value in prophecy."--SPRINGFIELD REPUBLICAN.

"The story is strong and interesting, worthy of a high place in fiction."--PUBLIC OPINION.

"Its development can be followed with great interest. It is well written and entertaining throughout."--THE CRITIC.

"An exceptionally interesting novel. It is an admirable addition to an admirable series."-BOSTON TRAVELLER.

"It contains character-drawing which places it much above the average love story, and makes the reading of it worth while. It is a fine study of a normally-selfish man. There is humor in it, and sustained interest."--BUFFALO EXPRESS.

A MORAL DILEMMA. By Annie M. Thompson.

"We have in this most delightful volume ... a new novel by a new author.

The t.i.tle is happily chosen, the plot is thrillingly interesting, its development is unusually artistic, the style is exceptionally pure, the descriptions are graphic. In short we have one of the best of recent novels, and the author gives great promise."--BOSTON TRAVELLER.

"A novel of rare beauty and absorbing interest. Its plot, which is constructed with great skill, is decidedly unconventional in its development, and its denouement, although unantic.i.p.ated until near its climax, really comes as an agreeable surprise.... As a literary work, 'A Moral Dilemma' will take high rank."--BOSTON HOME JOURNAL.

"The story is well written and gives promise of the development of a writer who will take place among the ranks of those of her s.e.x who are supplying what is much needed at this time--entertaining, wholesome literature."--YALE COURANT.

"The author writes with vigor and earnestness, and the book is one of interest and power."--PUBLIC OPINION.

"The story is strongly told."--INDEPENDENT.

"A strong story which leaves the reader better for the perusal. A touchlight as Barrie's carries one through the successive scenes, which are fraught with deep interest."--PUBLIC LEDGER.
