_Anne Warner"s Latest Character Creation_

IN A MYSTERIOUS WAY

_By_ ANNE WARNER

A story of love and sacrifice that teems with the author"s original humor.-_Baltimore American_.

The humor peculiar to her pen is here in wonted strength, but in a new guise; and set against it, or interwoven with it, is a story of love and the strange sacrifice of which a few loving hearts are capable.-_New York American_.

_By the same author_

YOUR CHILD AND MINE

The child heart, strange and sweet and tender, lies open to this sympathetic writer, and other human hearts-and eyes-should be opened by her narratives.-_Chicago Record-Herald_.

The literary charm of the stories is not the least of their attractions.

The interest is all the greater for the style in which the story is told, and the author"s sympathy with her young friends lends a vital warmth to her narrative.-_Philadelphia Public Ledger_.

_By the Author of "Aunt Jane of Kentucky"_

THE LAND OF LONG AGO

_By_ ELIZA CALVERT HALL

The book is an inspiration.-_Boston Globe_.

Without qualification one of the worthiest publications of the year.-_Pittsburg Post_.

Aunt Jane has become a real personage in American literature.-_Hartford Courant_.

A philosophy sweet and wholesome flows from the lips of "Aunt Jane."-_Chicago Evening Post_.

The sweetness and sincerity of Aunt Jane"s recollections have the same unfailing charm found in "Cranford."-_Philadelphia Press_.

To a greater degree than her previous work it touches the heart by its wholesome, quaint human appeal.-_Boston Transcript_.

The stories are prose idyls; the illuminations of a lovely spirit shine upon them, and their literary quality is as rare as beautiful.-_Baltimore Sun_.

MARGARET E. SANGSTER says: "It is not often that an author competes with herself, but Eliza Calvert Hall has done so successfully, for her second volume centred about Aunt Jane is more fascinating than her first."
