 A DOUBLE LOVE STORY.

The Carlyles.

By Mrs. BURTON HARRISON. 12010. Ornamental Cloth, $1.50.

Every one who has read anything that Mrs. Harrison has written wants to read everything that she has written. This is the best story that she has yet produced. The story is laid in and around Richmond, Va., during the stormy days of 1865. The historical setting merely furnishes a background for an entrancing romance. The dainty heroine, her grand, courtly old father, the Union lover, and the dashing Confederate officer who loves the daring daughter of Molly Ball, the celebrated Confederate spy, all keep the reader alert and interested until the last page is turned. The two girls are entirely different and both worthy of the brave men they marry.

"'The Carlyles' is full of diversified color and interesting suggestions."—New York Sun.

"There is plenty of stirring action incident to the closing days of the rebellion, and the romances and adventures of the principal characters are of the most engrossing kind."—Boston Herald.

"Such stories as 'The Carlyles' must be beneficial, especially coming from the pen of a Virginian. While Mrs. Harrison has depicted the attitude of Southerners toward soldiers of the conquering North with the utmost fidelity, she has chosen human beings with a sense of justice and an appreciation of the difference between the short-comings of an army and the kindness of its individual soldiers."—Louisville Courier-Journal. "Varied, abundant action, charming word picture, good character delineation, and a double love thread keep the reader's attention from straying."—Chicago Record-Herald.
