Mr. Roberts's latest work of fiction makes a most interesting addition to the slender stock of nature classics. He has studied with close and unwearied interest the lives of the great eagle, lord of the air, the panther that rules on the Upsalquitch, the lucifee, haunter of the pine gloom, Kehonka the wild goose, and all the furred and feathered creatures of the wilderness and the hunted trails. In view of the great and growing interest in the study of nature, seen through the eyes of close observers and trained recorders like Mr. Roberts, and reported under the guise of fiction, this will be a book of great popular interest.
The Mystery of Murray Davenport. By Robert Neilson Stephens, author of "Captain Ravenshaw," "Philip Winwood," etc.

His latest novel is a new departure for Mr. Stephens, and his greatest effort as well. Turning from past days and distant scenes, the themes of his previous successes, he has taken up American life of modern days for his serious choice as a field for romance. It is said that this is the most vital and absorbing of all Mr. Stephens's novels. It is certain, at any rate, that the hundreds of thousands of his readers will look forward with pleasure, as well as some degree of curiosity, to his latest work.
