Won at Last. By Agnes Giberne. (J. F. Shaw and

Co.)—Maimie Browne, step-daughter of a certain ne'er-do-weel, Churton Hazel, is sent by her step-father to his brother, Robert Hazel, in England. Not very willingly received by the master of the house, and still less so by the mistress, she wins her way, and finally repays all that has been expended on her by doing them a very material service, for she defeats the machinations by which her step-father, now returned to England, had hoped to oust his brother from a considerable inheritance. The tale would have been all the better for the omission of the love-story.
