=MEG LANGHOLME=, or the Day after To-morrow. By Mrs MOLESWORTH, author of _Philippa_, _Olivia_, _Blanche_, _Carrots_, _Imogen_, &c. With eight Illustrations by W. Rainey. =5/=

Mrs Molesworth with her usual charm of manner, and easy natural grace, traces the development of Meg Langholme from early girlhood to young womanhood, with her friends and companions in the home of Bray Weald, where she is like an adopted daughter, until mysterious warnings bode the disaster of her life; for certain reasons she is kidnapped and concealed until cleverly rescued, and happily married to a lifelong friend then home from India.

=VINCE THE REBEL=, or the Sanctuary in the Bog. By GEORGE MANVILLE FENN, author of _The Black Tor_, _Roy Royland_, _Diamond Dyke_, _The Rajah of Dah_, _Real Gold_, &c. With eight Illustrations by W. H. C. Groome. =5/=

Relates the troubles at Mere Abbey, a fine South-of-England mansion, surrounded by bogs and woodlands, during the reign of James II. of England, and how Vince the Rebel lay in hiding here after Sedgemoor, and escaped the soldiers sent in pursuit.

=WILD KITTY.= By L. T. MEADE, author of _Catalina_, &c. With eight Illustrations by J. Ayton Symington. =5/=
