READABLE Novets.—The Silver Queen. By W. Sylvester Walker (Coo-ee). (J.
Ouseley. 6s.)—It is sufficient to quote the sub-title, "A Tale of the Northern Territory," to indicate the subject. The colour is better than the drawing, but the whole effect is good.—The Quests of Paul Beck. By M. McDonnell Bodkin, K.C. (T. Fisher Unwin. 6s.)—Twelve detective stories. Such stories are better for being short. Sometimes, perhaps, the knot is cut rather than untied; but even the great Alexandre had to do that.—Workers in Darkness. By J. B. Harris-Burland. (Greening and Co. 6s.)—Those who love the sensational will find their taste gratified to the full.—Joseph Redhorn. By the Author of " Wee Macgreegor," &c. (Hodder and Stoughton. 5s.)--A list of amusing studies of Scottish life and character.
The Bloom o' the Heather. By S. R. Crockett. (Eveleigh Nash. 6s.)—Some excellent short stories. Mr. Crockett has his foot on his native heath, and he is equal to himself. More we need not say.—Leaven: a Black and White Story. By Douglas Blackburn. (Alston Rivers. 6s.)—A powerful tale of life in the South African Mining region.
