READABLE NOVELS.--The Duplicate Death. By A. A. Fox Davies. (John

Long. 6s.)—A melodramatic detective story, in which the long arm of coincidence is made to extend very far indeed.— Margaret the Peacemaker. By Walter Wood. (Cassell and Co. 6s.)—A story of a manufacturing town in which a strike takes place. The labour troubles, however, are of less interest to tho author than the development of his heroine's character.
