be imagined—will enjoy the story of My South Sea Sweetheart, which opens with a description of a group of people living in groat comfort and civilization in an adapted cave on an island in the South Seas. When the heroine's father dies she is sent for educa- tion to another island, and, after divers sentimental complica- tions, commits suicide by throwing herself into the sea, but is rescued, and left at a third, apparently uninhabited, island, in which there is a mysterious empty house. Here she goes through some adventures which are really blood-curdling, and which will cause the nervous reader to lie awake at night. The book is not particularly convincing, but it is excellent reading for those who like sensational adventures.
