THE PORT OF MISSING MEN. With ill.u.s.trations by Clarence F. Underwood.
There is romance of love, mystery, plot, and fighting, and a breathless dash and go about the telling which makes one quite forget about the improbabilities of the story; and it all ends in the old-fas.h.i.+oned healthy American way. s.h.i.+rley is a sweet, courageous heroine whose s.h.i.+ning eyes lure from page to page.
ROSALIND AT REDGATE. Ill.u.s.trated by Arthur I. Keller.
The author of "The House of a Thousand Candles" has here given us a buoyant romance br.i.m.m.i.n.g with lively humor and optimism; with mystery that breeds adventure and ends in love and happiness. A most entertaining and delightful book.
THE MAIN CHANCE. With ill.u.s.trations by Harrison Fisher.
A "traction deal" in a Western city is the pivot about which the action of this clever story revolves. But it in the character-drawing of the princ.i.p.als that the author's strength lies. Exciting incidents develop their inherent strength and weakness, and if virtue wins in the end, it is quite in keeping with its carefully-planned antecedents. The N. Y. _Sun_ says: "We commend it for its workmans.h.i.+p-for its smoothness, its sensible fancies, and for its general charm."
ZELDA DAMERON. With portraits of the characters by John Cecil Clay.
"A picture of the new West, at once startlingly and attractively true.
* * * The heroine is a strange, sweet mixture of pride, wilfulness and lovable courage. The characters are superbly drawn; the atmosphere is convincing. There is about it a sweetness, a wholesomeness and a st.u.r.diness that commends it to earnest, kindly and wholesome people."-_Boston Transcript._
