    c ? From the same . —* Saved by a Looking Glass , ' by Edgar H . Wells . The main interest of this novel concerns a false charge of murder brought

    against a passenger—the supposed narratorduring a voyage to Melbourne . The original feature of the story is the delusion which the

    suspected though innocent man labours under . He believes that he committed the crime when in a —— semi-unconscious — — state after smoking _ - ~ by

    way of experiment , a powerful - - mixture ^ -j y , of gunjee and tobacco . The unfortunate smoker is put on his trialand the gallows stares him

    in the face . At , the last moment startling evidence is forthcoming to fix the guilt on a man then in court , who forthwith displays a

    revolver and puts an end to his life . Though and of sli entertaining ght literary , merit whilst , the the story secret is respecting readable

    the identity of the real criminal is well kept until the closing pages are reached . From the same . — ' The Mystery of Crowther
