To save and shield him she lays bare the innermost secrets of her heart.". The Chicago Mail. "The book is one of the few French novels which can justly be said to be both pure and interesting. It has the vivid and artistic touch which is the greatest strength of the French. school without the blase tone which permeates nearly all of the French novels which are flooding the American market, and the most exacting reader must admit that it is none the less strong and interesting for this lack. The illustrations are excellent-far above the usual standard of even the better paper novels."-- The Chicago Times. In the Dearborn Series. THE GOLDEN IDOL. By M. C. WALSH. Thick 12mo.
