 OTHER BOOKS BY MR. HORNUNG

More Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman With six full-page illustrations, by F. C. YOHN, drawn in a humor in exact harmony with Mr. Hornung's conceptions. $1.50

AFFLES, the clever, the resourceful, the big-hearted, here appears again in a new series of experiences and adventures that not only prove as absorbing as those in The Amateur Cracksman but exhibit his character in its larger and later developments and bring his interesting career to a heroic conclusion.

The exploits detailed in this book illustrate the author's ability to satisfactorily follow a character of power and ideals such as Raffles possessed, through the intricacies of an environment so unnatural to it, to a consistent and satisfying climax. The final story, disclosing the conclusion of Raffles's career, has not appeared serially and is here first published.
