A genial story of the adventures of a New York newspaper man and his young wife, who, at the end of their honeymoon, go to an unexplored heirloom in the shape of a peculiar old house, where many strange and amusing things happen. There is a mystery in the house, as well as a significant portrait of an uncanny cat. A vein of delicate humor, and a homely philosophy runs through the story.

A complete descriptive circular of Miss Reed’s books sent on application.
