READABLE NOVELS. —The Settler. Bi Ralph Connor. (Hodder and Stoughton. 6s.)—"
A tale of Saskatchewan," though it opens and has some of its most exciting scenen in the Slav quarter of Winnipeg. Russian Nihilists play a part in it, and Canada and Russia are sharply contrasted.—Candles in the Wind. By Maud Diver. (W. Blackwood and Sons. 6s.)—A novel by the author of "Captain Desmond, V.C.," scarcely needs further recommenda- tion, but we may add that this tale includes a powerful study of the racial question.—Lemuel of the Left Hand. By Alfred Clark. (Sampson Low, Marston, and Co. 6s.)—A picturesque story of Northern Israel in the reign of Ahab.—The Mystery of the Yellow Room. By Gaston Leroux. (Edward Arnold. 6s.)—An adequate translation of M. Gaston Leroux's celebrated story.--Romance at Random. By H. B. Marriott Watson. (Hutchinson and Co. 6s.)—A story of the slightly amorous adventures of a certain Lord De Lys. No explanation is given of the hero's personality, except that he is the younger brother of a Marquis.
